The original AA Europe is fatally flawed. Germany can win every time by just buying tanks and smashing Russia. This is a well known problem with that game. This AA Europe 1940 is much better.
What will be wrong with AAAE: 1940?
-
Now I am old enough to remember the first Europe and Pacific editions back in 1999, and the Revised 4th edition in 2004. At that time Mike Selinker was running the show.
Mike Selinker had nothing to do with either the original Europe or Pacific. He was only involved in Revised and D-Day.
@Imperious:
nothing will change and they will never admit to making any mistakes. That is what they do.
Is not the publication of errata the admission of a mistake?
-
So they admit their mistakes. That’s the first step to recovery.
-

No it is your commitment to making sence of the rules that somebody else messed up the typesetting that we all thank god for.
WOTC and the people who actually do this work NEVER COME BACK TO THE PICTURE TO ANSWER FOR THEIR DEEDS.
It’s like they are put under witness protection and nobody can reach the culprits and they never are held accountable for all the gaffs.

Right, we must gather a possum and hunt those basterds down, man

lol…i actually like new game. im sure the next one will be awesome. I mean really what are the flaws?

@Brain:

I believe you meant possy.
errr :oops:
so I should put the possum back? -
And I don’t have the heart to tell him…. in AAE40 the possum is only cardboard.
-
Seriously? It’s ‘posse’. I can’t believe I’m stooping to judge a spelling bee between two guys who call themselves ‘Brain Damaged’ and ‘Razor’. Come on guys, get it together… WOTC is never going to take your complaints seriously if you can’t even spell or string together a grammatically correct sentence.
-
@Brain:
The main thing that will be wrong is it is probably being made by the same people that just screwed up Pacific.
So just buy the games, and dont expect too much.
How about, “don’t expect too much, so DON’T just buy the games”……save your money!

“what will be wrong with AAAE: 1940?”
As usual, the game will not be finished when it is released. It will be missing units and have incorrect rules and such.
I think Larry Harris should reconsider his business relationships after AAE40, assuming the contracts for this game are already written. But for future games he should make a deal with another company than Wotc.
Preferably a company w/o chimps….

You had better check before you go correcting people. Possy is an acceptable spelling.I checked before I posted.

We should get a Vegas line going on over under for Cal Moore typo’s.
We can introduce parlay for box typo’s, rules typo’s and totals for each category.
I set the starting over/under at 3, which means you can either bet on 4+ or more typo’s or less than 3. Result of three is a push.
Any Box typo line set at -160 or the reverse at +220
Rules typo line set at -80 reverse +280
3 event parlay is 3:1
2 event parlay pays 3:2game must be released by June 2010 for action.

I don’t know what all that means, but I am betting against WOTC.
-
However, are there any other major compagnies besides WOTC out there? WOTC is very huge and I wouldn’t be surprised if they pay some good money to Larry, or if Larry needs them to get his game published

Then you take -160 which is the favorite you will have the potential for a profit of $100 for every $160 waged, but if you take the dog for every $100 you bet your getting $220 back.
So the favorite costs more and the pay off is less, or if you feel the underdog will pay you can get more money for less invested. The line can change based on total action.

WOTC probably owns the rights to any game using the A&A name.

but pacific is outrageous!
they have never even played 1 or 2 rounds if you ask me!!!
mean, US income goes above 55 in war-economy, and the cardboard only goes to 48!
too few tactical bombers at set-up for japan, only 6 subs for US

incredibleWhat this means to me is that they did not have any playtesters besides the designers. The designers would not notice how bad the rulebook was written because they never had to refer to it. The designers also had access to an unlimited amount of playing pieces so they didn’t try and play the game with the lack of pieces that we have. Larry is a good game designer, but whoever is in control of everything else sucks and if they were working for me, they would all be fired. You would think in this economy that their employees would be a little more on top of their game.

Wow!! I would have thought that the release date got moved back or something as hostile as this group is. So maybe its not perfect. There is no way in hell they could have maid everyone in this forum happy. We’ll all buy both games (at least one copy each) we’ll play it a bunch of times for years to come. We’ll check the Errata weakly, and tweak it to fit what we want. The map/board seems to be done right, and that’s the important part. The rest will fall into place. Damn you sound like a bunch of little bitches get over yourselves, it is what it is.
Ok here comes all the Karma.
