FINALLY! the new revised cards are available!!

Probablky means they were changed (updated)

I figuired out the guntransport thing…the 251 and the M5 now have got Gun Transport in addition to Fighting Platform.  Makes the 250 even more irrelevent

Brumbar has sideskirts….as noted b4 the Tiger now effectively has Hulikn Mass (nowcalld Heavy Armnour)

Quite an improvement to the German Light Mortar…

They gimped the Hago I think, the poor thing.  Didnt it used to be able to move through forests…Japan is getting worse nad worse!

Mot it thought so to but its not like that either.  I’m wondering what that is?

Some of the jnits (like the French Alpine) just got a year-change so its got the ribbon

Looks like they calmed down the gtreek soldier and officer…that good

haha, they fixed the German Panhard with a year of 1939 that I reported to the WotC staff

Ah, just noticed the 251 is up to 7 pts…now I see the diff between the 250 and 251…1 pt buys you better attack stats and Gun Transport

they game the smovente enhanced range, whic it really neede to survive.  otherwise it was over-costed

its a whole new ball-game now folks…finish your current matches, as the next games will be in the twilight zone!

Someone needs to get to work and advise what units actually changed.

Sounds like you are volunteering…

HT and DK, you will be happy to know that units riding on the backs of tanks can now be targeted.

DK, you’ll be happy to hear my 6 BAR build is now broken.

Target practice

Heh, I was on the fence of whether I should be buying any more A&A minis or not. Since it seems unlikely WotC will send me replacement cards for all of my cards that are now obsolete, even though I bought them in the last 6 months, I guess that makes the decision easy.

Shemar, I wouldn’t look at things in this way.  The cards you have are playable, the game worked before and it was not broken.

They came to a cross roads and were faced with a decision.  Do you continue to make new sets playable with the old sets knowing that improvements could be made to the old sets and in doing so you would not incorperate improvements to these new sets?

What I feel they tried to do is fine tune the game pcs and rules to make more units usable and elimate the far superior units.  Also they attemped to make game play more realistic.

Again the old cards are still good but the new cards and rules should improve things (I HOPE).  We’ve been through a similar circumstance once before when they resized the units.  I still use my old units, looks stupid but…

Well, yes, but they should have done it with the re-launch of the ‘basic’ set (1939-1945). They re-printed the manual, made a new starter set and changed the map size. It was with the assumption that this new starter set and basic set would be the ‘norm’ for the foreseeable future that I invested in this game.

Beyond that, the completely inadequate official support for this game, the fact that I play mostly online so the actual physical minitures are not being used and some rethinking of my budget priorities already had me re-evaluating A&A Minis as a budgetary concern, so this is just enough to push me in this direction.

As for the game itself, I have not looked at the individual unit changes, but the change of the stacking limits makes this ‘new’ edition significantly different from the previous one.

Amen!

So its said, they did a pretty good job on most of the units in the Revised cards.

The revised rules, as brief as they are, are FUBAR.

Correction, the stacking resolution rules are FUBAR.

3 units per hex, OK, no biggie.

Having to remember the order that you moved your units for the entire phase because you have to correct all overstacks at the end of each phase in reverse order (last in, first out) is un-7ucking-managable.

I am pissed as all hell  :x

@Shemar:

Agreed.  Like I’ve said before, I like the game a lot but it’s been dead since set III
