Bump - Added Italian Set
What previews do you want?
-
Here is the latest preview: http://www.axisandallies.org/node/433
-
I see the Italians have got their original Infantry sculpt, as well as the German Tank (Panther), the SdKfz 251 Mech Infantry, and Flak 88 Artillery. I do like the Stuka Tac Bomber. Other than that, they have the German Fighter and Bomber pieces, as well as all the German Naval pieces from AA50. Looks cool to me.
-
I notice that the French Battleship is unique, which is really a downer because we’ll never see it in action as France doesnt start with any Battleships and if it is ever liberated it will more than likely be building land units. Meaning, we’ll never practically see it. (It’ll be more rare than the Anzac BB/CV or a second Russian BB).
-
Forgive me, but isn’t the French Battleship sculpt actually the same as the Soviet Union one from AA42?
And also, what of the Aircraft Carriers?
-
The french battleship is not unique. It’s the same as the Soviet battleship that came with AA42. France has no unique sculpts apart from the infantry unit.

I am very interested in finding out is the list of neutrals: pro-Allies and pro-Axis.
-
-
Ah yes… And the National Objectives, so that we can get the abattlemap and triplea versions running so we can start playing!
-
David,
Can you confirm that the Global rules were included with AAE40?
-
Obviously, to each their own, but I personally can’t understand why anyone would be more interested in previews of unit sculpts than previews of rules or additional map detail.
Maybe it’s just me.
-
Yes, of course they were. I mentioned that as a possible preview for this game, Europe 1940. It will actually be the next preview.

I’ve added the details of the setup in the first preview. I guess people couldn’t read the crystal clear larger photos. I was able to and that is what I used.

I think spain is pro-axis because at the time they were having the spanish civil war and Hitler supported the rebels,making the public lean towards the axis.
-
The war ended in 1939.
-
I know. But they still favored Hitler after the civil war. If there True Neutrals then thats good too. IMO they should be pro axis.

Just because its government was pro-Axis does not mean the majority of the Spanish people were.
To SAS: Yep. And some countries in Africa that I can’t name currently. Liberia, Angola, maybe a few others.

DJensen, thanks for editing your first preview with the real setup. Now we can finally end the discussion of the UK fighters in Britain. :-D
It would be truly great if you can also edit the pictures of the maps you posted to a higher resolution. One can click on them on the main page, but the resolution of the pictures remain 640x425 pixels. :-(

And although the Spanish government’s sympathies were pro-Axis, those sympathies didn’t translate into abandoning its neutrality on the official level. An example of this policy / attitude / strategy is Franco’s handling of the Operation Felix proposal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Felix).
