The Renegade version of the rulebook can now be viewed and downloaded on the Renegade A&A Resource Page. There are no actual rules changes from the Avalon Hill version, but the text has been updated with the material from the FAQ.
New Renegade Edition
-
Anyone know what rules improvements, changes, etc. are being loaded into the new edition?
-
Hi @Swishtail, there are no rules changes or improvements other than those mentioned on Renegade’s website:
- Four more German infantry units
- Two more British infantry units
- 30 more plastic chips
- Rulebook updated with latest errata
Here’s another press release with similar info.
Here is the official errata from Wizards, which is what I assume they intend to incorporate… that and any other salient info from Krieghund’s epic 1914 Q&A thread here on the forums.

I’m just so happy that a new one is coming out. I just wanna scream with joy:
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! :)
Glad they’re adding more infantry. I’ll probably still have to buy two games to get enough pieces.
I was lucky enough to spend 150 USD to get an original. I’m happy I can play the game on a board without opening the original.

@superbattleshipyamato I know what you mean - after years of craigslist alerts I JUST this month found a local copy for sale (for $100!) and snapped it up. But no way I was going to pass up the chance to pre-order a reprint as well for $87 including taxes and shipping! I’m definitely not a “keep it in the shrink wrap” kind of person, but I always like multiple copies for extra pieces and customization options :)
-
Me too. I got two copies. Glad it’s 20% off, not a fixed dollar amount.
-
This new company is either very incremental or very cheap. They just add a few pieces and slap on the logo and call it theirs???
Holy crap, roll the dice and invent something new!
-
Who cares? We’re getting Axis and Allies 1914 again (hope that didn’t come off as rude)!

I moved your reply to
https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1629002
where similar ideas currently are discussed,
as this is the 1914-category.So please let us stick to the 1914 game, here.

@superbattleshipyamato In terms of the resale market for old titles, point taken–but a new company has to add some flair or wrinkle to the next stage of AA for better or worse. This keeps people ( new people) interested in the new ideas. If you add nothing, you just defeat Ebay’ers by reducing prices on used games…
-
True, true. I’d rather get the old games before getting new ones. But yeah, I’d like a Kursk and Stalingrad game in the future, maybe even naval battles like Leyte Gulf.
