So the axis almost pulled it off. Lost Verviers last turn. Allies just stayed in the other 2 stacks. Could roll them out to see if they get control for the heck of it.

Excellent, glad to hear it. IL once again has the scoop. Kudos.
Since Avalon Hill fell through, I collected bits and pieces of knowledge about the game and wrote an article:

It’s nothing we don’t alrady know but it’s all conveniently put together in one place.
heres some more stuff on the new game
That was very informative.  :? :| :-( :x
When do they start telling us about the game?
I realize as you do that they are unparalleled experts in marketing…. IT is clearly demonsrtated when they only assign one guy AKA “BOB” to make everything happen. You know full well that they have like 100 people working on any given fantasy project… even knowing full well that the BUlge will outsell all those rubbish other games put together. Axis and Allies is treated like snow white but never went to the party.
Eh, I don’t think that we actually need to be marketed to. Just a message that the game is coming out in November and a few pictures and we’re all ready to go out and buy it. Not much marketing required.
I want the game. I suppose too much information might make me not want it. That being said, more information might make me more excited and motivate me to encourage others who might be on the fence to want it.

Your first thought may be correct. Some of you will like this game. Others will not. It so departs from previous A&A strategy/tactics that you may not like it.

In a way, it seems like an A&A Minis game.
The hexes certainly give it the look of the minis maps.

this is the first in a series of questions and information about this new game…
Well they are at least getting closer to telling us about the game. I look forward to the next installment in that series. It is always good to hear it from the designer’s mouth/pen/keyboard.
Part two of the Larry Harris article series is up. IL is right Antwerp is not a goal.
Part three is up:
Part 4 of the Bulge Article series. A few things on movement (tanks will have unlimited movement on roads, but 1 hex off road) and mostly that hexes worked better for the map than territories.
i hope it as good as d day iam looking foreward to it i hope it is not one died
one died? as in….lol one dice to roll???
Article #5 is now up on the bulge game.
And here is article six.

That combat system will take some getting used to.
those articles arent necessary …the rules have been on PDF since article 5.
