Release Date

@skinny1:
My FLGS today said AAE40 was pushed back to August 18 and not to be surprised if it is pushed back further than that. He also told me about a month ago that AA50 will be reprinted for a Christmas release this year. That information came from his WotC sales rep. I question both pieces of information since the release dates are so close to each other and the money to spend on both will be a lot to spend in a few months of time. I am just going to play AA42 for now and when AAE40 is released I will pick it up. No room to set up and play AAP40 right now since my game room is being occupied by a tenant until about February or March next year. No hurry here to pick up AAE40.
If the AA50 Reprint info is true- I would bet that the reprint would be a “cheapened” version of the 08 edition- smaller box, foldable map, thinner cardstock, battlestrips instead of boards, IC, AA chits and other concessions as they made in AA42 and AAP40. Then the printing of 2 games in 4 months would make sense. Remember AA42 and AAP40 were printed within the same time frame last year! So he maybe telling the truth.
Here’s to hoping!

Well I hope the AA50 reprint isn’t exactly the same as the original one since it was supposed to be a limited edition.
-
I think that now they know they can cut corners and still sell games so it won’t be the same. Just my opinion.

They definitely need a serious competitor.

FMG BABY, FMG!!!

Where I live, that stands for somesthing obscene. But I know what you mean

How about FFG? The quality of their game Tide of Iron is enough for me to say that that would be a good company to make AA games. I recently picked up ToI and love it. The plastic pieces are great.
-
Either FFG or FMG would be great. Right now I am putting together the Struggle game which looks very good.

Doubtful, larry has been sitting on this number for a while, likely revealing it because he is now confident that it wont move.

Well then now maybe they can release some press info.
-
mmm or maybe we can bribe a playtester….

Come on Craig you could have some fun with it and not violate the NDA.
All you’d have to do is drop a line like, “nukes are in the game as technology.” :evil: Now just step back and watch the fur fly for the next 2 months :lol:
-
Yeah Craig, maybe you could tell us if they hired a new proofreader or not.
-
This is why open source material prospers….More minds involved to insure that less mistakes are made. Its MAY and we still dont know what the board looks like…
-
Wow…I see your point. I always assumed they were closed off because they didnt want to help. it might be they are secretive out of necessity.
-
They could at least announce the release date on their website.
-
I admit that pictures of the map wouldn’t be threatening to their bottom line. That is really what i would like to see.
