I have Revised (2004), and I will be getting 1942 2nd Ed. Because the Revised map is pretty much the same as 1942 1st Ed., I figured I could just play 1942 on the older board. I have the instruction book PDF. I also saw the set up info on the Resources page, but I was wondering if any of the members here actually made their own cards or if they have a really good scan of them or something like that (I would be printing them out and laminating), because let’s face it. I just have no skill doing that kind of stuff. Thanks =)
What are the difference between 1942 and Revised?

Lastly, neither Revised or 1942 have National Advantages, the poster above must be thinking of AA50.
Revised had National Advantages - U-Boat Interdiction, Super Fortresses, Soviet Patriot War, etc. Not to be confused with National Objectives from AA50 and the upcoming AAP40 & AAE40.
Does that make the Nova version the Zeroth Edition?
Shhh.
-
How do aa guns work in this version? Do aas not shoot at planes flying over to and from combat (like aa50) or do they shoot them (like revised)?
-
They work the same way that they do in AA50.

yeah, it is smaller. but it looks sooo much better than revised.
If you compare both map area looks to be the same more or less: some territories/SZs are bigger on Revised or 1942. 1942 map looks better visually but concerning playability it is worse that Revised because of the borders. On Anniversary there’s larger territories and the borders are less harder to spot but on 1942 it gets impossible to see the borders in some areas (Europe and Atlantic SZs) specially when a territory is overstacked with pieces. And since this version is meant for new players the playability issue is even worse because they will not be accostumed to the territory connections like a veteran revised player.
