I can tell you right now that I won’t be purchasing this game or making any videos of it. Ever.
I’ve already moved away from A&A recently and this is one of the main reasons why. My Grandfather fought in WW2 and had to live with his extensive injuries from the war for the rest of his life. He told us all a lot of stories from his experiences and I’m damn sure that none of them included zombies. I’m not buying any crap about equating the Axis winning the war in the game being the same as including zombies in the game. Give your head a shake. Germans, Italians, and Japanese people existed then and still do now. Playing a game where you try and see if you can change the outcome of that war theoretically is a challenge that A&A gamers have accepted to further their understanding of a monumental historical event. On the other hand, zombies don’t exist. They never have and never will. They have no place in a historical game of any kind.
That doesn’t mean that there can’t be a game set in the future that includes zombies. Fantasy games can be fun. That’s why it is so pathetic that WOTC chose to put zombies into an existing franchise of games where clearly they aren’t appropriate. How lazy can you get? How greedy can one company possibly be for trying to shove this abomination down A&A player’s throats?
They could have easily invented an board game with mechanics similar to A&A set in a post-apocalyptic world, complete with new sculpts that included conventional weapons and scored a home run with it. Instead they took the lazy way out and threw some zombie sculpts into one of the best historical board games ever made. Shame on them. Shame on any of you gullible people for buying it.
