AA Europe '40 Box Art

China fought Japan from September 1931 to September 1945.

And didn’t they only declare war after '41?

So the absence of  a flag that’s been represented on nearly every Axis and Allies cover makes an entire cover bad?

And why has it always been represented? Because the British and Commonwealth were there for the entire war. The cover itself looks nice in terms of painting, etc. But as a single image meant to represent the entire European theater of war in WW2 it’s an abomination. It would be like Axis & Allies Pacific 1940 not having the US represented on the box at all.

We know what the Union Jack looks like, we know the contribution the British made to the war, we don’t need to have their flag on every single box cover

Or the Germans? Or the Americans? Sorry, but I disagree; if your cover depicts the flags of nations at war in Europe in WW2, Britain should be there. And it really doesn’t matter if we know what the Union Jack looks like, or who did what in the war - not everyone who walks into a gaming store knows world history.

There is literally no reason for the box to omit a major power. None at all.

And anyway it matters what’s inside the box, not the cover.

And what’s not in the box, judging by Pacific.

Canada didn’t even have the flag they do today until the fifties, right?

There isn’t a reason to omit it, but I could personally care less about its absence. I’m going to enjoy the game no less, regardless of what flag is and isn’t on the cover. If you really are going to make an enormous deal about it, write to WotC, see if that’ll help.

Well, I was talking about it officially. After June 1940, France was no longer at war with Germany.

Doesn’t mean all Frenchman around the world just stopped fighting.

I seriously doubt they’ll change their designs because I complain.

And I’m not making an “enormous” deal about it. This is a thread about the box art for the game, so posting a couple of opinion points here is hardly making an enormous deal, is it?

Well, most Frenchmen, and Poles, and members of other occupied countries who got the chance to fight on conventionally did so because another country continued fighting without being occupied. Who was that country? It’s on the tip of my tongue… ah… nope, it’s gone. Airbrushed away.

Duh, it was Liechtenstein.
