A&A Anniversary Sold Out (rumor)

@chris_henry

Yes I received my copy Friday. I also have not had a chance to count the pieces, but the components look good and I’m thrilled to finally have a copy of this version of the game.

The early reviews stating the original printing didn’t have enough pieces to set up the first turn really turned me off, so I’m even more glad to see Renegade has taken steps to address that complaint rather than just reissuing it as it was, which they almost certainly could have done and still expected to see sales based on the prices used copies of 1914 were going for.

Most of all I’m thrilled to see that my fears of this and Anniversary never being printed again were not well founded.

Triple A has had time to work out bugs/kinks, as well as having all game versions.

To me, the # of games available + the AI are most important.

And the first step toward that is here with Axis & Allies Online. Although, I’m not sure he wanted to digitize “for phones.” The small format may not be conducive for A&A games.

Also, you all have been super quiet on the news today. What’s up with that?

@simon33:

Maybe an update of Anniversary Edition? That would be the most popular possibility, I feel.

I wish, but that is unlikely since Larry said his new game is not A&A. I checked the upcoming games at Hasbro, WOTC and AH, but nothing looks like the game Larry is talking about, so I guess Larry pull this off by himself and not via a big company. Larry also said this game have new features different from A&A. So it must be a new combat system. I figure this game can not be huge like the Global 40, more likely its the same size as Larrys first game, MB classic from 1984, but with LHTR rules that is designed for tournament play. This new game will be like a chess game, very balanced and playable, and with the WWII theme only as a background. It will take like 4 hoers to complete, and not a weekend like the G40. Just my guess

@Gargantua:

hands down Anniversary was the greatest stand alone print version of the game ever to released

100% agree

I’d better get the new forum up and running.  :wink:

Mad Dog,

You were 20min from my house. I grew up in this area. The ship use to dock in a city called Cheboygan, were my wife is from, on the Black River.

I still live in the area to this day.
