How many mistakes on Europe 40??? Let's wager ;)

@reloader-1:

We are trying to expand the A&A community - and yet how will we ever get there when we are so critical of the game we love?

Well I think this is being critical of the game’s components and the disappointing workmanship.
Not the game itself although there are some flaws and issues there with rules too… but I think it’s more like exploring the potential of what could’ve been.

Or at least the expression of an anxiety that our beloved game will not hit the stores in the condition it deserves based on what we’ve seen.

I should not have to apologize to FNGs for the quality of this awesome game I’m introducing them to… and ask them to pass Monopoly over, explaining it contains superior industrial complex pieces that we need to borrow.

Uh dude…. this game hasn’t been released yet. That is the whole point of the thread.

If you want to talk about AAP40, I’m with ya - but lay off AAE40 until we see it.

OK. Uhh dude, read a few more lines:

hmm different… perhaps digital cameraderie?

Actually, abx, I like your spelling of it better  :wink:

BTW I am fully expecting to receive too few Italian pieces. I really feel that they can be a major power in this game.

I plan on raiding AA50 for Italian tanks…and if I feel I’m short pieces then I’ll get em from AA50 as well.  But i agree with one of the above post (whoever it was). Only a fool makes the same mistake twice and if there are many mistakes in AAE40 then my opinion of WOTC will be a poor one.

There has not, not once, ever been a perfect board game.

And I know some office junkie is going to sarcastically list something like Monopoly or Sorry. No, those where not perfect. Neither is AA50. Or Twilight Imperium, or A&A Pacific 1940.

But you know what? They’re still great games. I fully expect Europe 1940 to have a few mistakes and still be great. If it didn’t have any mistakes at all, something has gone horribly wrong.

I am not sure why Krieg even answered a moron with 4 accounts.

That was my own gratuitous one liner of the day

oh yea, forgot I must add a useless digit, here :

@Krieghund:

There are only expectations based on past performance.

Isn’t this called logical thinking.
But still I agree it is in bad taste to complain about expected mistakes. This only hurts sales and thus decreases the odds of future games/reprints.

I vote 7+ based on what i hear about AAP40, but I don’t really care about a few typos. I would be disappointed if they removed some of Italian unique sculpts. Is it true that Italy no longer has its own tank? (someone who knows, not just speculation). If so why? don’t they already have the sculpts/pieces? (This is legitimate since it is based on pictures of the game rather than just speculation)

Yes, it’s true, unfortunately.  There were some technical problems with the Italian tank sculpt used for AA50, so it was dropped for this game.  Larry and I are as disappointed as you are.

@Axisgirl:

Allboxcars is a sock?

Nope.
That would imply I care sufficiently to generate ersatz support for my postings.

#715

Krieg, did something happen to the old molds from AA50?

@reloader-1:

Agreed. There is some potential there and hopefully WOTC doesn’t short us.

#720

I think he’s worried that WOTC will not give enough Italian pieces on the presumption that Italy will be a minor nation and not gain the IPCs to crank out a lot of units on a broad front or otherwise creating the requirement for something other than chips.

It’s just people getting nervous and over eager for the other half of the game.  And bitching about how AAP40 turned out. Glass half-empty stuff IMTO.
