Europe

[Antholin]

Wow, they will be a very welcome addition to the A&A world. That is so cool that they will combine to form a huge gaming board. Damn, I’m going to have to invest in a bigger table. I can’t wait to check them out once they’re actually released. Does it look like these will be a limited run like A&A Anniversary? If so, I’ll start setting aside funds to make sure I snap these up as soon as they’re released.

[Imperious Leader]

yes definatly buy these two. I think this will be better than AA50.

[Antholin]

Good enough, thanks for the info. It would be nice to see WOTC produce these a bit longer than the Anniversary sets, as I’m sure a lot of people were unable to acquire a copy.

It was said that in the start of the game, the Axis would have no control of North Africa.

Also, the Europe board will include all of Africa.

I  dont know where you heard that, this is 1940, Italy is going to have huge armies in africa. Its just Germany that wont have anything in africa or the med.

Per Larry
East Africa – how will this be represented in AAE40?
Well I think so. I mean the French, the Italians and the British are all represented down there. I mean there’s Kenya, Tanganyika Territory, Rhodesia, Union of South Africa, South West Africa, British Somaliland, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and an administered from London - Belgian Congo, and that’s just the British stuff… Hope this answers your question

Man I cannot wait to see what exactly these maps will look like and also see them together!

[Guest]

I think you speak for all of us with that comment

[miragehunter]

Speaking of the Europe map.  Does anyone know what the time frame will be when we’ll get our first look at it?

[Funcioneta]

Let’s hope EAF has a italian roundel printed and starts with a couple of shiny italian units  8-)

[Funcioneta]

Well, massive hordes of chinamen are represented by 4 patetic infs that usually are killed round 1  :-P 1941 is a fantasy scenario indeed!  :roll:

[idk_iam_swiss]

lol, I am going to start calling the medeteranian that…

[Guest]

Modifications must be made for game balance

[Funcioneta]

I hope not. With so much time to prepare, testers should correct the setup and not repeat the mess of 1941 scenario (the fantasy scenario if you ask me). It should be work of testers, not of players  :|

I think this time will be better, we’ll have a non-broken China for 1st time in a global game and probably starting ICs at India and Australia

[WILD BILL]

Yea Larry has mentioned the short comings of China in AA50. I figure that was just a test run as they had to be already working on AA40 (or at least the concept) at the time. I’m sure they will get it right this time. I also think that at some point in the future (when he’s not so busy) that he will give us an alternate set up for China in AA50 based on the new info.

It’s possible. He did a fix for the old AAP a time ago, so it can happen again. A fix modifing setup and maybe changing chinese rules would be welcomed. I guess it will be included in any future reprint

[idk_iam_swiss]

lol china did lose incredibly quickly…

What would you expect if Japan unleashes it’s full might against it.

[idk_iam_swiss]

I expect them to run out of ammunition…literally

@Brain:

In a non-fantasy scenario, China should have reserves, you know, men behind their lines to fill holes in the front. In fact, they should have horde reserves

But 1941 scenario China has not any reserves and cannot buy more than 1 inf or 2 infs in the whole game if Japan attacks in force. China has not even a army after J1 if Japan attacks  4 territories, just a small garrison in Sinkiang  :|

It will change in AA40, by luck
