Differences between Revised and Spring 1942 editions

Thank you all for the clarification!

Oh…. thanks for clearing that up for me :-D

@zooooma:

Bombers cost 12IPCs.  CVs cost 14; less than in AA50.

Same cost as AA50, not less.  AA1942 uses the exact same units/cost/and rules as AA50, but eliminated NOs and tech.

As for additional differences, don’t forget that the Bering Strait got iced over and it’s no longer possible to Polar Express Canada straight from Japan

Yes to both

I really enjoy AA42.  It really is worth the money.  Sure, the spaces on the board are too small, but there are downloads to take care of that.  Play it a few times and you’ll be as hooked as I am.

I would also have to agree on that one.  I would rather have space for more units as well.

Overall the changes are positive imho.  Revised is a classic game and deserves another run and the chance to appeal to a new generation.  AA42 takes the best innovations from Anniversary (ie naval rules and units) and applies them to Revised.  It should be interesting to see how the strategies change.  It’s also a good move to remove tech–Revised works better w/o tech because tech is about luck and detracts from the strategic aspect.  With dice, luck is already a sufficient factor in the game.

Could be a big hit.
