Japan was a beast in the first edition. It’s good to see the odds evened up a bit in the pacific.

Bill and Ted?
If George Carlin wasn’t in that movie, it would carry no cultural value whatsoever.
I think they just shot a day in the life of Keanu Reeves and called it a movie.

RE: AirCraft Carrier in Hawaiin Waters, Why?
@Scarapis:
The game starts in Spring of 1942, after the attack on Pearl Harbor. �� If it were the Attack on Pearl Harbor there would be at least a battleship there and, as you mentioned, no aircraft career. �� History takes a hit with this board game, but if the Japanese do attack Pearl Harbor on their first turn it isn’t December 7th, 1941.
yes but not aware of any more Japanese occursions on Hawaii after the attack on Pearl Harbor
Do you only make moves that are historically accurate during a game?

RE: Is this our Anniversary reprint?
I would add the new 1941 to the discussion, but agree that it should be the introductory and fourth game in your old trio. I like the idea of the new 1941 to be an intro, but i think it might be too big a jump from that to the new 1942. I think the new 1941, old 1942, Anniversary and global make for a nice progression, though it’s now four games instead of 3.

RE: Is China at least 3 territories?
@Col.:
Well first of all, I don’t see how this topic would be worthy of a prank, since we will know soon enough. You haven’t given me any reason not to believe the guy, you’re speculation wasn’t any more compelling than his supposed first hand knowledge. I just take it for what it is. Lastly, post count in a forum is not a good indication that the person knows what they are talking about. :roll: I just found the notion that the price would be based on outrageous OOP prices to be humorous. I got the impression that he might be one of those who paid hundreds for an OOP copy and is not too happy that a similar game would now go for around $60.
I find it funny that you think a game that cost more than $60 when it came out, has shown since that people are willing to pay well more than $60 for it, will then be reprinted and cost only $60. What type of business is that? :?
BTW, never bought anniversary. Paid 35 dollars to have IL’s map printed and have it for much less than market.

Get real, man! Where did you get I was suggesting $300?
They are charging $90 each for the new Europe and Pacific games. They could easily ask that for a reprint of Anniversary.

RE: FLYER FOR 2ND EDITION E40 AND P40 IS OUT- SEPTEMBER 18TH, 2012
According to that, Pacific doesn’t come with a rulebook. And why does Europe have four less dice?

RE: Is China at least 3 territories?
Wow…if this is true then essentially this IS the AA50 reprint…
I noticed it as well that’s why I want proof of what he’s saying, since I don’t believe that they would just copy the AA50 map, stick some new rules and call it the 2nd edition of ‘Spring 1942’.
Same thoughts here.
Couldn’t agree more.
They are gonna sell a game that goes for hundreds of dollars, upgrade it with recent rules, then charge $60 for it?
Seems highly unlikely. -

RE: AA41 Complete Review
Thanks for the review.
Great point on the ships being the same sculpt for each side. I hadn’t thought of that before, but being an intro game it will make it easier to distinguish each one. It takes a few games to be able to tell just at a glance what each ship is in 42 and the global games. They can be confusing for new players, but this helps that.

RE: Release Date?
That is funny. I got the same thing going for me. A table I bought for A&A set up with a map on it and 50 little white boxes underneath. They’ve been there forever, but it’s like out of sight, out of mind.

Why don’t you just buy him the one already out if he wants it so bad?
Also, I’m sure that if you were to donate to the site you may get a quicker response :wink:
How about a little patience and we’ll get the photos when they are ready?

RE: If the confederates win at Antietam do they win the war?
@Col.:
I do believe the South would have won the War had it gained a victory at Antietam. With that said, I don’t know how serious the South was to attacking Washington prior to 1864. Without a push to Washington, I don’t see the South winning the war. To defend the South, it was being invaded by a foreign power. An aggressive campaign against Washington was against the very nature why the South formed in 1861. It wished to be left alone, not puruse an offensive war.
So, yes, winning the war with a push to Washington after an Antietam victory. However, in 1862, such push violated the very nature of the Southern Confederacy.
To the alpha males, Monday night quarterbacks, and sincere historians who will tell me about Jubal Early’s march on Washington in 1864, I say this-What was Jubal Early going to do to Washington with his meager force? How was Jubal Early going to breach the defenses of Washington in 1864? How was Jubal Early going to escape capture short of a supposed rescue by the rest of the ANV?
And, please no one tell me Maryland was a northern state. One, it’s beneath the Mason Dixon. Two, it was a slave state. Three, Lincoln imprisoned thousands of people and suspended the legislature at the beginning of the war to ensure Maryland’s obedience.
Sincere historians feel free to disagree. Alpha males and rude people stay away.
Maryland was a border state. It was neither North or South, but it never declared independence from the Union.
There were slaves in Maryland, and the Emancipation Proclamation did not apply to Maryland, allowing slavery in the state even after it was put into order. To say it was a Southern state is saying that the capital of the US was in the Confederacy.The Mason-Dixon line is an easy grade school way of dividing the North and the South, but it’s a little more complicated than that. It’s not like the 38th Parallel.
I also gotta ask, why do you feel the need to end a lot of your posts with stuff like “Sincere historians feel free to disagree. Alpha males and rude people stay away?”
“And, please no one tell me Maryland was a northern state.” That statement sounds rather rude and like one an alpha male might make. The whole paragraph before that too. You just know better than anyone else and can’t be convinced otherwise?
Not trying to start anything, but I’m just curious as to why you feel the need to write that as often as you do. Most people on here are pretty civil about things.
Seriously? It was a slave state. And, why do you ignore Lincoln using the army to prevent the state from seceding? You don’t think arresting people by the tens of thousands and declaration of martial law had any thing to do with the states not seceding? Who is grade school now? If you need an authoritative historian (since, I’m not one to you), go read William Freehling’s ‘Road to Disunion.’ Over 90% of the time they voted in block with the South. Is that too grade school? My geographic answer was not good enough. Hopefully, my political statistic will suffice. If you disagree with the statistics, take it up with Freehling. Over 90% of Blacks in America vote Democrat. Are they border voters or block voters? Are they on the fence (border) about to vote Republican? No. Neither were Kentucky and Maryland. They were consistently relaible to vote the Southern Block. What else qualifies as ‘South’ since my geographic answer was grade school? Besides, Lincoln in 1861 viewed them as South. It was in these states that he ordered the arrest of tens of thousands and shut down legislatures. Honest Abe wouldn’t lie would he?
To my defense, I purposely made it sound grade school for two reasons. It was my attempt to be humble. Secondly, I wrote it like that for my audience. The average American reads on an 8th grade level. I can write like Kurt if you want. That’s a compliment to you Kurt. But, we all see what happened to him, right?
Who asked you to write like Kurt? What does he have to do with any of this?
And boy did that grade school comment bother you. � I’m sorry it if it emasculated you, but it was for my audience. The average “sincere historian” is a self centered jackass who thinks he’s cordial by calling everyone not him, or in his select group, alpha males.I don’t know how that comment about you using a grade school memory technique was so hurtful. I still sing the alphabet song to myself when I use the dictionary, and for some reason I don’t find it insulting. Only an alpha male would.
And what in the heck does the 90% of blacks voting democrat have to do with Maryland? Maryland has voted Democrat in 7 of the last 9 elections, and by landslides.
And please show me where he arrested 10s of thousands of people in Maryland. I’ve lived in Maryland my whole life and have never heard about him arresting tens of 1,000s of people from this state. He didn’t even arrest the entire legislature.
As I said, Maryland was a border state and wanted to be left alone. Yes, some in the state had slaves. I never called it a North state. It was a border state.
The Legislature had voted (Twice!) not to secede from the Union before Lincoln did anything. I guess that doesn’t count in your opinion? How is that following 90% of the South’s ways?
In 1860, Baltimore (the fourth largest city in the country)had 25,000 free blacks and 2,500 slaves. � Does that sound like a slave state?You can’t look at Maryland as a state regarding the civil war, you have to look at it as a couple different regions. I know that’s not the simple answer you’re apparently looking for, but that’s the truth.
Why does the South need to be defined in black and white for you? And why is your opinion the only correct option? Maybe it is something grade school with you. Maybe you need things explained to you and there can’t be any gray area. There has to be only one possible answer for every situation for you? Yeah, man. That’s kind of sounds like a kid in grade school if you ask me.

They are civil with me now because I assertively make that premise. I got tired of making nice, conversational posts to get certain responses. You can’t complain if you don’t assertively make yourself clear, right? Well, now I’m clear. If you don’t like it, don’t respond. I don’t always agree with Hobbes and Bunnies. Have you ever seen this exchange between us? For example, your rebuttal to one of my responses was to call it “grade school?” Have I ever used such language in my disagreements with people like Hobbes or Bunnies? Or how about wittman? I was civil. I was polite. I was kind. I put that premise in there for people like you. My response is grade school? Why don’t you respond to me with statistics and your interpretations of those statistics rather than ‘you are grade school.’ Notice the semi-quotes, not direct quotes.
Look at my conversations with Mallery29 over the Batman movies. We were nice and cordial. Though we disagreed a little, we were both respectful of one another. It’s ok to disagree a little and still have fun.
Here’s another example. Hobbes is right about the statistics with a G1 attack. However, over half the time, I do not destroy the German battleship. Did I call him grade school? Did I say he was lost in math books? His statistics are right. We just choose to disagree on certain aspects of the attack. I could easily have said: “Well, Hobbes, you need to get your head out of the book and face reality. I know the rolls. I lose often. Get real.” I chose not to. It’s rude, wrong, and not in my thoughts. Hobbes has always treated me with respect and kindness. I disagreed with a Bunnies post one time. Did you hear me say ‘that’s grade school?’ More examples as to my why, but I’m stopping here. You can respond, but don’t get mad if you’re just ignored.
UPDATE: Wittman and I disagree about a very polarizing figure called Oliver Cromwell. I greatly enjoy reading what Wittman writes. Is there a flame war between us? No, it’s okay to be civil and disagree. However, not all are civil, and I don’t have to tolerate it.
They were civil before you even made that comment. There wasn’t one uncivil comment on the board before your post. You asking others to be civil when they already were was the first uncivil act on this post.
I find it funny that you actually ask people not to answer back while throwing an underhand insult at them and calling them alpha males or insincere historians (are their actually any to you?). I guess you think it’s okay to slap someone as long as you do it with a white satin glove.
Where do you get the idea that everyone on this entire board argued before you started placing instructions not to argue with you? Do you do it so you’ll have a way out by calling them an alpha male. Like I said there are thousands of civil conversations on these forums that don’t include a preface about civil conversations.
I’ve tended to notice when you don’t talk down to people like you have, they don’t respond in the way you think they will.
I’m also sorry you didn’t understand the literal translation of grade school in my post. I meant they taught us in grade school as a way to remember what was north and what was south?
Just like “I” before “E” except after “C”.
All I was saying was it’s too simple an explanation, but that really bothered you because I was trying to knock you off as alpha male?Not everyone is out to insult you, and I’m not sure why you think they would want to, but you seem awful defensive.
Look at a lot of other posts where not involved and you won’t find fighting. You’re not the one preventing it.

Once again, good game. Just don’t think I can muster anything in Europe.
I know I should have tried to get to Europe earlier, but I thought protecting Africa a bit more might help the UK.
I’m going out of town this weekend, but I’m off next week and I’d be willing to try another one early next week.
