    That was a very angry stream of consciousness. Please speak your mind Wolf.

  • TripleA '12

    Well said mate, totally agree.

    Angry, no… just how I see things… call it what you will, I don’t hide my thoughts… you’ll always get my honest opinion on any subject. You will never have to guess “yes, but what did Wolf really think about that?”

    We can ask for no more than that.

    Honestly, I just needed to make your duck for cover worth it. Hence broadside pic.

  • Streamlined game play - that’s rich.  Those who don’t understand A&A always get hung up on the length of play.  It’s one of the most common complaints for people who never played.  This is the same company that manufactures Dungeons & Dragons right?  Kreighund - care to shed some light on this?  Hey btw what are the new sculpts has anyone seen anything about that?

    It was a very impressive broadside…

    I actually expected the heat to come from saying AA50 was just a bigger version of 1941, but with the same “streamlined” rules.

    I turned the other cheek on that… That’s why I didn’t chime in.

    Well, I suppose it is in a way. 1941 is basically a scaled down version of A&A, so just about any other global version of A&A can be considered a bigger version of 1941 in the most basic sense. The “streamlined” rules are there too, but with all of the other standard A&A rules added back in.


  • Here’s one possible concept for a “streamlined” set of A&A Anniversary Edition rules.  The design is based on the boat-tailed .50cal bullet configuration, which is regarded as having excellent aerodynamic characteristics.  To paraphrase Calvin and Hobbes, the details are a bit rough and somewhat conjectural.

    Well that packaging sure is streamlined!

    Looks like an Axis&Allies cigar.

    I’d puff on that.

    I already did - back on page 5 of this thread:

    @Krieghund:

    This is a reprint, not a new edition.  The Rulebook changes were simply the inclusion of the FAQ/errata and newer, more clear and concise wording.  None of the actual rules are changing.

    However, Shelly’s statement in the interview that some of the sculpts will be different was news to me, so other physical components may change as well.  This only makes sense, as there have been several new sculpts introduced since AA50 was originally published.

    @ChromiumAgeCollector:

    Here is confirmation….

    Wow that girl is annoying. At least get someone who is familiar with the game to ask questions.

    Yeah no kidding.  Or get someone familiar with the game from Avalon to speak about it.

    They nice ladies seem to know very little about it.

    The production quality, the photo fit boxes, the large battleboard, the introduction of Italy (Which was huge), the beginning of NO’s, a technology program that reasonably worked, and the only version of the game that came with two relatively balanced setups OOB,  and so on.  Damnit!  This was an LH masterpiece and the beginning of the ‘new era’ of A&A games!

    I want to know, will this reprint bring me the same love the original did?


  • Pre-ordered from Amazon.

    Shipping to Japan! Wohoo!


  • Good to hear from you, Noll. Enjoy playing it.


  • I heard the whole print run is numbered - can anyone confirm?  So are they adding a sense of scarcity/limited edition-ness to this item if its true?

    And hey weren’t Cruisers in the original Anniversary Edition?  If so why does the Amazon description make it sound like they are a new sculpt/thing? 
    Does any A&A bro know if the Italian tanks are gonna be Carro Armato 13/40s like in the original release?  They better not be Pantherz again - just wrong.
