Difference between Revised and 1942

[djensen]

I think there are some things missing from the list. Is there an official description of the differences? Am I mistaken but are there not some tweaks to the map as well?

[Krieghund]

There is no official description of the differences.  There were some minor changes to the map.  Did you ever get your review copy?

@Krieghund:

But they have big impact: Perry Channel is frozen so you cannot land guys from Japan to Wcan. Also, CUsa doesn’t limit with WCan. Both things kill Polar Express strat, the Revised counter against KGF fanboys

I think AA42 has almost zero playtesting. For that and for the reasons Vegryn said. They simply copy-pasted Revised setup and map with some tweaks they thought those changes had not much impact. But both setup and map changes, with AA50 rules as combo, make a great difference

I wonder why they didn’t put a IC at India at once. Even a Sinkiang IC maybe

Yes, I received it while I was on vacation. It came to the office on the 14th, just 4 days before release.

It is released isn’t it? I haven’t been to my FLGS to find out.

I can’t say.  I wasn’t involved in the playtesting.

Yes.  It’s been out for nearly a week now.

there are no AA1942 rulebook pdf for the public yet right?

how long after release did the AAR rulebook pdf appear?

[djensen]

Is Western Canada adjacent to Sea Zone 1 again? It looks like it to me but do the rules call it out?

[Krieghund]

No.  It’ll be in the FAQ (again).  :roll:

[djensen]

Anything else important that will be in the FAQ? I’m thinking highlights or other oversights I might miss. I haven’t even read the rules fully. It all seems the same.
