Thank you so much!

Yeah, but every A&A game is short of pieces- if you have multiple versions you can combine some of them.
-
What about people who don’t want to mix and match?
Or
People who just saw this game at a local store and said ww1 this is my favourite war. Then realize this game does not have enough pieces for them.
Saying you have pieces from other ones shouldn’t be an excuse for the developers. They should have double the German infantry from the set up and double for UK. I understand it cuts costs slightly but comeon. In Risk I never run out of pieces.
-
I have ALL the Axis and Allies game BJ it makes no difference to me. I am sorry it wouldn’t cost them hardly any money to include a few more pieces. The game retails at a 100 bucks. There is no way this game is worth that. Everyone that keeps saying use other pieces from other games just gives Wizards of the Cheap an out to keep doing what they’re doing. I also believe these games need to be playtested more. It seems every new game that comes out has tons of issues with it. Playtesting could work out these issues. Instead what do you think we’ll get. WW1 1914 Second edition. Bank on it.
-
Well, I’m not saying the game shouldn’t have come with more pieces, but I am saying that it is par for the course with these games.
I haven’t been too short of pieces in this one though- a couple more Infantry for Germany and Britain would have sufficed. Oh, and about 25-50% more chips…
-
Thats all I am saying BJ it wouldn’t have taken a lot.
6 fighters
6 tanks
3 more infantry per power
20 more chips for each side.
Bingo games perfect. -
WW1 1914 Second edition. Bank on it.
Better atleast get some unique sculpts other than infantry lol
I for one dont understand how 1914 cost more than pac40 2nd ed and euro40 2nd ed.
each pac40 and euro40 came with more peices and WAYYY more sculpts and a slightly larger map lol
the price on 1914 is kinda a ripoff but it still is a wonderfull game once you get past the few extra peices you need to play it
Kudos to Larry and middle finger (along with my cash) to you wizards…

I spent $65 on AA 1914 from CSI… the 1940 games are/were like $80 each?
-
Price was very similar here in England. £75 for WW1 and a few pounds less for the two 40 games.
Can now get 1914 £10 cheaper on Amazon.(I think they bought too many.)I am very annoyed at the small number of units and chips.
-
looking on amazon right now 1914 is listed at 85 USD
Euro 1940 second edition listed at 75 USD
and Pac 1940 second edition listed at 65 USDSo each of the global games are cheaper yet come with more pieces and more/better quality sculpts
-
Going off of Amazon I see-
I used CSI:
http://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/183962
A&A 1914- $65They must have lowered the price for the 1940 games:
http://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/165316
Europe 1940- $58http://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/165317
Pacific 1940- $58They are close to the same price by A&A 1914 is newer. A&A 1914’s price will drop like the others I’m sure.
-
Uncrustable thats how they will get us for 2nd edition on this one. Some new sculpts and a better map and better rulebook. Sound familiar. Global 1940 2nd edition. 1942 2nd edition. I see a pattern.
-
They will almost certainly come out with a 2nd edition. The 100th anniversary is next year so they rushed this one so they could come out with a new one. The 2nd edition will hopefully have:
-better playtesting
-more sculpts
-decent RR rules
-better quality
And all for the same amount of money. -
I really hope that atleast the 2 editions will be compatible with each other.
-same chips and nation colors
-they should throw in some marshaling cards (was revised the only game to come with them?)Uncrustable thats how they will get us for 2nd edition on this one. Some new sculpts and a better map and better rulebook. Sound familiar. Global 1940 2nd edition. 1942 2nd edition. I see a pattern.
Yeah well i have both G40 editions and i will prob drool all over myself to get 1914 2nd edition lol
What a sucker :roll: -
Ijust got the game today. I’ll be reading the faqs for rules clarification for sure. The game looks good but for sure there’s not enough pieces. As far as that goes, the plastic just doesn’t cost that much it’s the cardboard stuff that costs all the money. I like what I see so far and will be doing a solo run tomorrow most likely.

I can see all of the CEOs over at Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro/AH on a yacht drinking and smoking cigars. Â All laughing and patting each other on the backs. Â “Great marketing strategy boys, give them an unplaytested game, at a high cost, with broken rules, then come out with a 2nd edition a year or two later, hahahahahahahaa, works every time. Â Don’t forget about not including IPC money, battle boards or enough pieces, ahahahaahaha. Â Pull” Â Fires at skeet. Â “Alfred poor me another scotch and have Jeeves pull the limo up to the dock”
When are they going to listen to the customers. Â Wait I admit I’m a sucker and keep buying poor products. Â I guess greed rules all in America.
The developers, play testers, and everyone involved with the A&A series should be ashamed of themselves. Â For once do the right thing and put out a quality product.
-
1914 is a great game tho. Short on pieces yeah but Larry outdid himself on this one
-
Hands down my favorite of all the A&A games, though WW1 is my favorite conflict so I’m biased (now all I need is a Spanish Civil war A&A :-D). You have to think about things a lot more with only 1 round of combat. And the game is very high quality when it comes to the board, the color scheme and the units. 10/10
-
Best WW1 game I have ever played. Looking forward to play some more.
-
How in the world do you say this is the best WW1 game or a 10 out of 10 when only the allies can win? Unless of course you are playing a wetrard!
-
2nd edition will be the best WW1 game. Not this one.
