My review copy of Axis & Allies Europe 1940 has arrived

[lnmajor]

What happens when the pics are posted and everyone starts posting at the same time? can the server crash or something?

[lnmajor]

by the way speaking of reality TV, i know its not the correct thread to post this in or anything, but while we are waiting anyone have any good stories about late night AA games when a rules despute turns into a full blown screaming match? i have in my house at 2 or 3 am and watched friends at each others throats becouse the war was going bad for their side.

I remember when I was younger doing that. Now I honestly don’t care, it’s just a game.

Spain is one territory

Hmmm looks like the USSR will get a bonus right out of the gate, their starting income is 28 and  Larry said something about them staring with 35 I think.

[Imperious Leader]

OMG Russia has one Battleship!!!

hahahah

And India will look like a female cows bottom…

And he made France look just like my Global 1939 variant.

[Imperious Leader]

Can somebody rewrite the set up?

If you can just do a few nations the others can pick up the rest.

But it really looks like Russia has a battleship!!

They also went back to the better quality AA50 dice. take a look!

I didn’t like those Halloween dice, these are much better

I just noticed the techs have 2 tiers ( perhaps like my house rules you cant get into the second tier until you got a specific amount developed in the lower level?)

@Imperious:

Actually if you look at DJensen’s pics of Pacific and Europe they look like they line up. I’ll have to go home and take a look for sure though.

And I also counted up the IPCs for each nation (according to the values on the box) and it looks like the economies are:

Axis-66
Allies-164

Quite an advantage for the Allies for sure.
