It was 1990, I was 18 years old… I moved to the big city of Toronto and my new friends were gamers who played Risk all the time. I quickly got bored of it and was looking for an alternative game I could introduce to them and I saw on the store shelf Axis & Allies from Milton Bradley “a game of high adventure” and “decide the fate of the world in just a few short hours” (lol). Unfortunately we were all pretty hammered by the end of the night and the only thing I remember of my first game was punching out all the plastic pieces from the plastic stencil racks and all the roundels from the cardboard sheets. it was an instant hit with the whole group and I played it with them religiously for up to 2 years until I moved back home to Peterborough. I brought my game with me and it wasn’t long before I hooked some old high school friends to it, and over the next 8 years I played Classic edition even more than I did before. After that in 2000, I moved back to Toronto where I discovered Spring 1942, then A&A Anniversary edition and finally Global 1940… ironically, I met someone from that first group from the early 90’s almost 20 years later, we accidentally bumped into each other online and we have been playing 1 on 1 1940 Global games every month for the past 5 years.
Game bug - AA gun placement
-
I think Ive found a bug.
If every landscape with an Industrial Complex, covered with an AA gun, and you buy a new one, you cant place that new one anywhere.
if you place him on, for eXample, Wake Island “he” says: “Can only place the unit (AA gun) on landscape with Industrial Complex”
and if you place on, for eXample, West America, “he” says: “Only 1 AA gun allowed per landscape”.
so what do I have to do? Ive bought the AA already, but cant place him anywhere… :(

Actually that is not a bug that is what the rules say. :o If you have purchesed an AA and you already have AA at each of your IC’s you lose the gun. :( Sounds kind of stupid to me, you should be allowed to place multiple AA as long as only one in that territory is allowed to fire at enemy aircraft per turn. But it is there none the less. The way around it would be to move an existing AA during the non-combat move phase. They can be moved one space or loaded on to transport, much like infantry. Then you would be able to place your purchased AA.

yeah, but I forgot to move it in the none-combat turn :x

BUT if you get the 1.3.3 patch ( http://www.spring1942.com/Resources/downloads.asp ) i found out that after you get the patch you can place AA guns in countries. Try it!
