Europe 1940 shows up on Wizards site…with screenshot

@cminke:

hey

Way to go Canada, looks like a 4 yr old wrote on your board.  Preplanning some strategies are we???  LOL :lol:

@cminke:

hey

How do you get the picture into something that you can draw with? What program did you use?

any questions class?

how do you use a spellchecker?

How do you post the image?

Also, did anyone notice the German and French ship in the Western Med?

@calvinhobbesliker:

the German one looks like a transport

Anyone noticed the new Russian Tac ?

Its a strange russian aircraft near Moscow, and its bigger than a fighter, and smaller than the russian bomber in Caucasus.

There’s no Russian Bomber in caucusus. Did you see the Russian mechs?

The setup is just for illustration. Their is no need to think this is the 1940 setup, with Americans in Russia.

None of the pictures from any game have used the starting correct setup as the promotional shot. Rather some chimp was told to stick the units on the map and take a picture. It was probably the same guy. I give him credit for putting the blue pieces mostly in france, but i am sure he was told some basic things.

This reminds me of “Where’s Waldo?”

Ha ha. Except we’re not looking for a specific thing.

You’d figure they could at least find one intelligent person to do these things. It’s not like a logical and accurate setup would make for a bad promo shot or anything… But I suppose, other than we people in these forums, nobody else really notices or cares enough to complain.

They don’t care. They do the minimal crap to just get by. The picture is like some idiot took it from his cell phone and posted it. They probably don’t have any decent cameras. Look at the script on the advertisement… its a total joke… looks like its written by someone who has no clue what AA is about.

And you know very well that the game will be shorting some pieces… i just can’t wait for the latest mistake… you know its around the corner… some huge gaff, typo, or only 6 German stukas?, or 6 Mech infantry?  Something is definatly going to be wrong… it has happened too many times before and it will happen again…

We already know of one thing… India does not match up with the other board… It will look like the bottom of a milking cow. ( two peaks)

It just never ends because these people are true minimalists who have every excuse for every occasion. Man i wish i was in charge of that office… id fire everyone and deny severance and pension to all past employees.

India can line up. You’re assuming the southermost tip of India on the Pacific map doesn’t go down any further on the euro map, when it could

Ouch! That hurt… I totally agree.

As for Pacific 40… I just put in a request for the new battleboard and Jap Tac bombers… When Europe comes out, do all you guys just send them an email to get fixes or replacements on what they did wrong…? Or do they have to get a large number of complaints before they do anything?

You realize that they will have the last laugh since it is likely that everyone here is buying a copy regardless?

Why don’t we leave the bashing until we can see how the game actually plays.  AAP40 plays out well (with a bid…).  I expect this one will too.

Do you use  the 40 ipc bid that goes to the US after a J1?

If you look at the back of your AAP40 game board, the Indian coast is still going South and West.

On my game board, the black backer paper is away from the edge far enough that I could see the border dividing India into more than one territory.

Well, for what it’s worth - I won’t be buying Europe 40 until it can be ascertained that the product is of at least ‘reasonable’ quality, and therefore value for money. I did not buy Pacific 40 because of the huge number of quality issues associated with that game, and the very high cost here in the UK. Time will tell, I guess. But as it stands, I have no faith in the ‘Chimps of the Coast’ to deliver a decent, fine quality product; they just don’t care.

I have hoped and prayed for a re-release of Pac 40 with all the errors fixed, but so far this has not materialised. However, I am much more keen on the Europe theatre as opposed to the Pacific anyway, so I am feeling more inclined to buy this 1940 version. Obviously, I am aware that I will need both games in order to play the ultimate experience. But until am I satisfied that this is all a worthwhile venture, I will be more than happy to stick with AA50, as it is brilliant.
