Indeed I do good sir :) -
@AAdudeCPHDK1981 Well, all right, then. I guess you learn something new everyday. :-)

@Midnight_Reaper Then it has been a good day :D

An earlier post, now with pictures…
I didn’t find a pic of it in my google search but I once saw A&A Classic with French writing on the box for sale on ebay from a Canadian seller.
A picture of the French A&A box:

SourceThe only thing I would ask about your collection would be to ask if you have all of the mistakes made across certain batches of games in manufacturing of those game:
- A&A Classic, batches of US infantry pieces molded in German grey and in the same games batches of German infantry pieces molded in US olive green;
A picture of the mis-molded American and German Infantry, along with other pieces from Milton Bradley A&A:
SourceAlso, that whole thread of knp7765’s, Evolution of Axis & Allies pieces – Take 2, is an excellent primer on the pieces of Axis & Allies and their variations.
- A&A Guadalcanal, batches of US cruiser pieces molded in Japanese burnt orange and in the same batch of games batches of Japanese cruiser pieces molded in US olive green;
- A&A Anniversary Edition, first printing, a batch of some of the British tanks molded in Italian brown and included as Italian tanks.
That should make my points crystal clear.

@Midnight_Reaper Great fun with the different errors in the models :D and I just love the French boxprinting for the classic 1984 edition, do you have an extra I can purchase or do you know where I can locate one? :D
-
@AAdudeCPHDK1981 Sorry, I don’t have any of those, I just know that they exist.
I limit myself to copies of the games and piece errors. Trying to get a copy of everything ever is a step too close to the abyss for me.

@Midnight_Reaper I did not know about the errors, so I have limited myself to the different boxprinting versions from the beginning, and I think that is a good thing :) otherwise I would go crazy trying to find out about it all and getting it (I am sometimes close anyways, just trying to find out about the different boxes)… :D
The hunt is now on for the french boxprinting of the classic version… So if anyone out there in A&A land are able to help, please let me know :D
-
To be fair, if you have a copy of Guadalcanal, you probably have the mis-colored cruisers. If you have a copy of the original printing of the Anniversary edition, you probably have the mis-colored tanks. It’s the mis-colored infantry that you would have to seek out.
Have fun!

@Midnight_Reaper Cheers :) but as long as I am able to find the versions of boxprinting I am missing from my collection I will be fine with that :D
-
@Midnight_Reaper Hello good sir… I am not able to get into my BGG mail, so please let me know in here once you have been at the postoffice to check for the shipping price of the French/China sheets we have talked about :)
Thank you in advance :D
