Best place to Pre-order 1942 2nd ed

@Imperious-Leader I would also like a copy but I imagine there would by copyright issues with this.

Sorry - I meant to post this in the 1942.2 Forum, and it won’t let me delete. I’ll post there instead. If any mods have privileges to do so, please delete.

2.0 is a totally different game. never liked 1942 1.0

the 1914 chips do not have the same shape as the chips in the other A&A games
(in my opinion the 1914 chips are quiet bad compared to the “normal” ones, since they don’t really stack well)

HBG has actually chips in stock, just not in the original colours

Aniversary Is cool to have but other than having Italy I just wasn’t all that stoaked about it. The sculpts in mine were really bad in alot of ways I ranted about this along with others when it came out . 1942 Second Ed is awesome and with a bit of tweaking you can probably get a better experience than AA50. HBG and FMG have a set of Italian minis and roundels you could easily use. As far as balancing goes you could simply combine Germany and Italy and simply use your Italian pieces in place of Germans where it calls for them or use some house rules.

You can get the Aniversary rules too but I’m not sure where.

While I might dodge some stones being thrown here AA50, was not a favorite of mine. For what it costs to get a copy it’s not worth it. There are a ton of threads on here as to how to make your own version of AA50.

Personally the attraction of this game for me was to have the game in my AA collection. I have all the board based AA games except for Guadal Canal and AAE40.

I’m hoping to play 41 tomorrow with my ten year old. This Sunday the Dicetruction crew will be playing 42-2nd. There will be pictures on my blog and hopefully we can record for the podcast Sunday as well.
