Anniversary Edition again out of print ?

Italy wasnt going to be a stand alone nation in the early concept stages - hence the cover not having any Italian represtation.

Bonus - Bull Halsey appears twice - but most of you prolly observed this.

In China that CHANGED the map by adding a Chinese control symbol on a Japanese controlled area, to indicate that its Chinese influence

Great purchase and you are one step closer to Global!

I got a copy, just I am keeping it safe for now.

my Anniversary edition when it first came out.

@SS:

Ok then. Axis player what is the best way to play it , with or without tech and NO’s?

I would preface this with my opinions about these options.

National Objectives

Usually these are more often lost and hard to (re-)obtain for the allies.  The axis are usually advancing and can more easily achieve their national objectives, with the exception of Italy, whom the allies can deny the Italian NOs more easily.

Advantage with National Objectives:  to the Axis

Weapons Development

sidebar
I am not a big fan of the randomness that is built into the achieving of technologies.  Plus the techs are not even in their strengths:  Super Subs for Russia?  practically worthless

But if you play with tech, I think that favors the Axis.  Why?  Most techs are offensive in nature, which is the Axis main strategy/strength, especially early.  It would be nice if Jet Fighters were still a ‘5’ on defense instead of a 4 on offense (no longer a defensive tech).  Similiarly, advanced art could be a defensive aid as well (inf defense to a ‘3’).

Advantage with Weapons Development:  to the Axis

Again, merely my opinion, but with the reason(s) I why I believe so.

Actually the book as 31 pages.  32 including cover.  There are 2 pages on each page when you download it.  Check the numbers on the pages.  You’ll see what I mean.
