As it has not been posted before: Renegade indeed relased a reprint of Anniversary Edition celebrating the 40th Anniversary of A&A itself:

Cool!

Agreed, need and want are different. From what I gather, they only waited about 3 years between 1942.1 and 1942.2.

It’s nice to not have to house rule too much - even using a bid implies some additional play testing would have been beneficial. But to be able to discuss strategies here, etc, requires us to have the same rules. :)

@CWO:

I’ve just posted some pictures of the sculpts over here:

And to follow up on the pictures, I’ve posted tables over here…

…giving unit counts and sculpt model identifications for the Anniversary reprint.

@toblerone77 A bit late to the party here but anyway…!
The sculpts are made in a lighter plastic than later versions and the Japanese infantry sculpts, for example, really show this. Lots of them have half their helmets missing and their rifle stocks are too thin and are thus often bowed or malformed. Another example is Italian tanks which have smaller and far inferior sculpts to the europe 1940 version.
This is my favourite Axis and Allies version regardless and I have swapped out all the pieces with better sculpts from other version. Its probably cost me a fortune in potential re sales but I don’t care.

@Timtheconquerer:

Wow $110? I know soo many people who would love to get the Anniversary Edition, but can’t find them anywhere, and when they do, it’s more than the $225 I’m asking. They personally just do not want to pay that much for ANY game. Where are they for sale at? I know Avalon has not re released any yet.

On Amazon, it’s about $600

Where are you from?

The colours in Revised can vary. I bought one of the later prints of Revised (3-4 years ago) and the UK colours are the tan of Anniversary (or Bulge).
