@Panther Thanks for the speedy answer… feels like a strategy that might make me unpopular but if it’s legitimate then I suppose it’s fair game.
Which Version Do I Have?
-
Hi All, I just got AA50 in today. How do I know if I have the reprint or the original release? And does it matter? What I mean is, did the reprint update the rulebook with the errata, etc.? The copyright date on the rulebook is 2008 I believe so I assume it’s the older one but if they just did a straight copy…

@vonLettowVorbeck1915
Just download the current rulebook from https://avalonhill.wizards.com/rules
and compare it with your print version.A quick way to determine is to look at the destroyer’s characteristics on page 29.
In case there is only one paragraph under “Special Abilities” you have the old print.The new print has three paragraphs there.

The easiest way to tell is to look at the Avalon Hill logo in the lower right corner of the box top. If it has a “50” on it, it’s the original; otherwise, it’s the reprint.

Thanks Panther and Krieghund!
In terms of the errata posted in this forum, are those already applied to the newer rulebook, or are there still some to consider?

All of the material from the FAQ and errata were incorporated into the reprint, except for the optional rules. If you want to use those, you will still need to get them from the FAQ document.

@vonlettowvorbeck1915 A couple of Chinese territories in the original version have dual Japanese and Chinese markers printed on them too.
