Does anybody have a copy of the AA42 rulebook in PDF? The wizards site doesn’t have it.

Thanks,

Thanks. I have this one. I didn’t know if anybody had one that Wizards put out or anything.

Maybe I’ll scan a color one tomorrow and pass it around.

Has anyone made a victory city tracker for AA42 similar to this: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/308716/axis-allies?size=large from the Revised game but using the AA42 color scheme and 2 victory conditions? I would try it but I do not have the programs to do such a chart. Thanks.

@Hobbes:

@Mr.:

The map look of the map is great, the chip amount is frustrating, but over all this is a good game. Buy it.

The map look is good but because of almost invisible German borders and the lack of space in European territories the playability is bad.

Like it was said above, if you have Revised and Anniversary just download the ruleset and play it with Revised map and AA50 pieces. The map changes are minor (2 almost useless islands, Formosa and Iceland, and a few changes to North America).

Using the marshaling cards from Revised or making your own will take care of the space issue. So far I am enjoying the game with my 2 sons.

Therefore Saltz, keep that in mind in your strategies. Always, I MEAN ALWAYS, have enough infantry fodder to bring to battle. This is an economic war as much as anything. If you keep losing tanks and planes on hits because you don’t have enough ‘fodder infantry’ to throw to the wolves you will surely lose your battles. Unless of course your opponent’s buys are the same as yours.

Hey, there’s an idea. Have a war with no infantry or artillery. See how that works out. Might be fun, never know.

Why is AA42 being hated by everyone? I just bought a copy. Sigh.

I think AE is superior in their details :-)
But a lot of AE ship-bottoms (?) was uneven.

I have painted both revised and AE and when I look at ´42 they all
seem blurred.

Example;
the US bomber has some doors/hatches/whatever just behind the wings
and it is clear to see in AE but ´42 it is just a blur on the sides.

I don´t know if Capt.Kiwi bought ´42 and is reading this. Then I would like his opinion.
Or anyone else who has painted :-)

It is not the end of the world I just don´t understand why.

@TG:

@marechallannes:

@TG:

When I was at the Eindhoven Board Game Con, I came across the most remarkable facsimile of Axis and Allies. It was a Euro-game depicting World War II in Europe.

What’s the name of the game?

Actually, I intentionally left out the name because I’m not 100% sure on it. It was a German game and I think the title roughly translates in “Europe at War” – but don’t quote me on that. Maybe our German fans here can help us out on that. ;)

This was at the Eindhoven Gaming Con three years ago. You might be able to find pictures of the game at the Spellenspektakel website: http://www.spellenspektakel.nl/Home/1/SPELLENSPEKTAKEL.html

@Col.Stauffenberg:

I find it laughable that people think revised and now 42 is some simplistic kids game compared to AA50. So there’s less pieces and territories. Is Chess just a simple game? AA50 is cool but a lot of it is just needless bells and whistles.

Okay, I’m going to have to call you on this one. Exactly what parts of AA50 did you find “Needless Bells and Whistles?” Technology? National Objectives? Printed Currency? Because the only missteps I can think of is the placement of the Chinese Fighter and the lack of a Victory City in Cairo. Other than that, I thought AA50 was a superbly crafted game.

Mainly the extra territories and NO’s. Printed currency is redundant but the Technology was awesome. I’m not bad mouthing AA50, just defending Revised and 42 as no less difficult. (I think AA50 is pretty easy since it tells you what you’re supposed to do with the NO’s)

How should AA42 treat China?

The Soviets move first in AA42, they control China. China is now 6 territories and they produce infantry at rate of one per two (rounded up).

They have the existing rules from AA50 as far as deployment and movement restrictions.

Soviet units cannot enter any part of greater china ( includes Manchuria) until either Berlin falls or Japan attacks Soviet territories.

Chinese can enter Manchuria and reclaim it as control for production purposes

Starting army is one infantry each on 6 territories and fighter in Yunnan. I would give them an artillery. Fighter is replaceable if USA flys a new plane. ( use the rules under AAE for how exchange of pieces is made.)

forgot to add: Japan must garrison each Chinese territory with at least one land unit or China reclaims control.
