• You stated AA:50 is worth neither your money nor your time.  Yet you still follow this board.  That by definition is trolling.  The fact that this thread does not belong in this board is irrelevant.

    lets not go down this road please…


  • 2004 Revised is out of print and since AH made lots of these and still sold out, they decided to make another version (think risk) and will update it to make the investment worth while. So expect to find a perfectly written rules and balanced game and no need for house rules. Expect quality pieces even greater than AA50. Expect a new map but having the same configuration as revised. Expect a few more things as well.

    No!  Don’t make me expect all of those things!  My wallet is already feeling the (slight) pain!  :-D


  • its preorder at like $25 bucks. you can get it. just dont wait too long


  • @Dagon81:

    Maybe this is an expansion… I dont  know… It doesnt make sense to release another version of global AA 5 years after AA Revised…!

    well they gotta keep up with the times

    more has happened in the board game industry and community since revised was released, than in the 2 decades between revised and classic

    I dont think this was sarcasm. I know IL from long time ago, and he has forecastet stuff like this before, and always spot on. I guess he got some inside info. He might actually be one of the top playtesters. After reading his last post, I will now expect a few things from the chimps at WOTC. And I am darn serious about that.

    I doubt IL was a playtester, as he’s been trying to ask Larry what the “deal” was with this new title… just a thought  :wink:

    Of course he could have inside info by now, who knows.


  • I can tell you i have nothing to do with this new game. But i do indeed already know everything. I told FMG to hold off on making pieces to the extent of which they may be inclined because i would feel really bad when a few months time we could have two sets of pieces.

    I told FMG thats its best at this time to get the dice out and work on some secret projects not yet known.

    And Craig i will PM you.

    WOTC are the biggest chimps in the world. The most lazy good for nothing employees who ever lived. They hate AA and so i hate them 10 times worse.

    Please buy this game up even if its not limited edition. This game will put the final nails in the coffin for 2004 revised. Its basically a fixed version where nobody can complain anymore about anything. Thank god that we are getting new pieces at last.


  • Any idea when we can see a picture of the new map?


  • Yes. put on ninja suit and fly to Boston and get in larry’s house and take lots of pictures.

    Wait, do you really know everything about it?  I can’t tell if this one is sarcasm  :-P

    So we should expect good things from it?  Basically Revised, but fixed?


  • So what are the differences from Revised to AA42? All the AA50 rules (minus Italy) implemented into the new game?


  • Once again its a fixed version of Revised with new map and pieces. I cant say anymore other than buy it.


  • @Imperious:

    Not even what the new pieces are???  :-(  Someone BETTER tell us before August, I wanna know.  lol


  • Cant say anymore.

    just wait a few till they start with some product announcement.

    You told FMG to hold off making my high quality Italian pieces ?

    Do this new 1942 editon got Italian pieces ? Nooooo, you dont think sooo, you crazy imperious nut. I’ll smite you 3 times every day, then you would feel really bad.

    and Grec, I too will PM you.


  • @Adlertag:

    Now since Greg Leeds is the new boss in WOTC, and since he is a real bussines-man he will try harder to make money even if we are in the middle of a depression, he will give us a new A&A game every 4 month. In august we get A&A 1942. In january 2010 we get A&A Europe revised, and in august 2010 we get A&A Stalingrad, and in january 2011 we get A&A North Africa, and in august 2011 we get A&A the Great War 1914-1918. This is what both I and IL belive in. This is our religion.

    MAn I would love to get that THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 GAME . 8-)


  • Stalingrad is what I am so looking forward to, if it ever is designed!!

    Can you imagine a “sewer system” movement where the Russians come up

    behind the Germans??!!


  • @Imperious:

    a few what?  hours, days, weeks, a month?

    By the way, I’m bidding on a decent used ninja suit on eBay.  Currently I’m the high bidder, but keep your fingers crossed.  I should know something in 36 hours - I’ll keep you posted!
