Who has preordered already?

I suppose you can keep the mines there as long as you like, you don’t have to explode them next turn. If both sides on a settled frontier have placed mines it becomes something of a bluffing game.

The longer you wait and buy mines, the bigger the explosion…

Probably should be limited to just 1 mine per turn?

Of course if you allow the enemy to build up a big stack its an extra incentive to attack on your own turn, in which case if you win the enemy has wasted his money.

Just had an idea on the subject of scorched earth….Since areas that were fought over in WW1 eventually turned into ‘lifeless moonscapes,’ it’d be kind of cool if the IPC values of contested tt’s gradually degraded, like maybe -1 IPC every 2 turns. Might be adding unnecessary complexity, but it adds the effect of contested tt’s eventually becoming literally worthless.

Yes a good idea, but not in this thread. Nobody will find this idea if it’s in this thread…

I ordered 3 copies…call me crazy, but I expect heavy play.

Does anyone know of a store in Denver or Salt Lake City that will distribute this game on release day?

Salt Lake you are kind of out of luck as has been my experience, you could try the handful of local stores (most are located in malls). A couple years ago you could pick up really any version, but last year they didn’t have either of the new releases. Note: I tend to go online as default so I wouldn’t consider myself the most effective person to hear this from.

I’m desperately trying to get the cash to pre-order this game. Quick, which is more important? Helicopter lessons or Axis and Allies?

Does anyone have experience with preordering from CSI, like with how long they take to ship stuff?

@gperson2:

I hope its quick.  I preordered from CSI a couple weeks ago.

The words getting out on Cool stuff inc. and it should it’s the way to go. I have ordered 6 times from them and will for the rest of these games whenever they come out.

I also got mine from Cool Stuff, I traded in some surplus AA Miniatures for store credit, they give a 20% bonus if you choose the credit over cash. CS gives really good money for trade-ins.

Like Flashman said, I’m banking on a 2nd edition next year so I only got 1 copy for now, and of course 3 Bandits High boosters to make it $100.  When are you board gamers going to start playing AA minis?  Sorry, different thread :-D
