Preview Copies of 1940 Second Edition Arrived

I’m more interested on the NO changes, especially in the SINGLE game (Euro40).

And the map of course. I need to know if it’s worth to buy :)

Any chance you can scan or take a photo of JUST the last few pages in the Europe rulebook - that cover Global?

Alot of the left over tinsel/changes should be hidden in there…  especially things like how Europe/Pacific stand alone is to be played, and how to convert it to global.  This is important.

Can we get the preamble from Larry where he’s freaking out about the screw ups in the 41 and 42 games that came out this year saying Mother F___ this game better not have the asinine typos the other games had!

@Most Holy: Never noticed those bits in my Rulebook. Maybe that is a North American thing!

And don’t forget the picture of Velvet Sky, and Gargs 'quatch nestled in the bushes.

Who wouldn’t love to be nestled in that bush!

I think pics would be better.

Yea, need to see if its worth £140 buy!

Is that a pound sign BulwFi? You are not in England are you?
I am only buying Europe and should be able to pass my old one on to a friend for half what I paid for it. Am not as bothered about the Pacific, being half English and half Italian.

Hey Wittmann,
Don’t you want to get your hands on those cool new ANZAC sculpts? How about the new mech inf for Japan?

Ok Knp7765. I know I am only lying to myself!
Will get both, but will not rush in to buying them as I will not get a proper game until December when my friends are back in Hereford. Will probably buy separately, because am desperate for Italy’s sculpts and my wife has always liked the Europe side too(is insanely obsessed with all things ancient Egyptian). When we play she gets in to a blind Hitler like rage about keeping/capturing it!
Would rather sell both old ones, as do not want to end up buried in A&A boxes.

Your wife plays A&A?
Damn, my one HATES it. She often curse Larry Harris.

You have  said that before Noll. And how you sleep type to join the boys on the forum. 
She plays much less now, because Maddalena Fiorenza e’ sempre sveglia!

@allweneedislove:

I think everyone is just interested in seeing what has changed from the original game and what has changed from alpha 3.9.

Rules
Map
Pieces

Not full articles, descriptions, unboxing, videos, and pictures of everything just the changes.

I second this.

Did mean to ask Noll: how and where do you buy your games in Italy?  
Are there shops in the big cities? Never thought to look in Florence. (This would be if we ever moved there. Not for now.)

Depends.

My most reliable source is a good friend of mine, that happens to have the most numerous collection of boardgames in the world (20.000+ boardgames, 60.000+ if you count doubles and other languages versions), and happens to be also the CEO of “giochi uniti”, a major Italian boardgame publisher. If you’re curious about this awesome man, here’s a dated interview about him:

Grazie.

@robbie358:

I’d like to see the NOs for all games first, then the Global map put together, then the setups.

I’ll 2nd that.

@Bob_A_Mickelson:

@allweneedislove:

@kcdzim:

A list of National Objectives as they apply to each individual theater game as well as Global.

Third

Fourth

Fifth that.

@djensen:

Besides Krieghund, who is a rules expert and not bound by non-disclosure agreements?

I’m afraid I am quite firmly bound by non-disclosure agreements.  I can’t comment on games before their release dates.
