Good to hear. Thanks

Does this version have any rule changes compared to the first anniversary edition? � Or what was the updated rules about?

@Krieghund:

The “1942” image was released as an advance announcement for the original printing and is of a prototype.  All of the production boxes say “1941”.  BoardGameGeek has the prototype version of the box as its main image, which is very confusing.  It has led more than one person to question whether a copy of AA50 being sold online is authentic.  I have asked them several times to change it to the production version, and they have done so every time, but then someone else (presumably the person that uploaded the prototype image) asks them to change it back again.  Most likely that is the source of the image on CoolStuff’s website, as the image has the original AA50 logo in the lower right corner.

Makes sense  I thought there was only one version but just wanted to make sure.  Thanks guys

@tin_snips:

It’s actually got two different setups in the box. 1941, and 1942. Something none of the other versions do.

Yes sorry I mean on the picture in the description.  Coolstuffinc says spring 1942, amazon and others say 1941.  I was just wanting to make 100% sure they are the same versions

The picture for A&A anniversary on coolstuffinc has it as spring 1942.  Amazon and everywhere else it is 1941.  Its the same version right or am I missing something?

I’m north of Salina, KS.  Too far I know, but hope you find someone

From what I understand yes that will cause a declaration of war with Japan.  Also, I think if Japan controls Chinese territories bordering the mongolian territories, and Russia attacks first against one of those territories, then you will not get your 6 guys from mongolia.  Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

not really close but I live near Salina, ks.  Just wanted to say hey and maybe if I ever move out that way I’ll give you a shout  :)

If basically all your attacks went bad, to me you might as well forfeit.  We had a game like that a few months ago.  My opponent didn’t do anything wrong, he just rolled really bad and I got almost all my hits.  After 5 rounds it wasn’t looking good for axis at all.  But it depends on what went wrong and what didn’t.  A lost attack on british fleet doesn’t mean the game is lost.  But an all round bad 1st round for axis…its hard to win imo

@atease:

Can you mobilize a CV in a SZ that contains planes that would otherwise be lost if not for that CV? Are the planes lost? Is the only way to have planes on a brand new CV to build them at the same time? Thanks!

If I understand you correctly then yes you can build a cv and place it in a SZ containing planes that have expended all their movement points, or even ones that could land elsewhere and they are not lost.  You can even plan an attack with planes stating that their movement will end on a newly built CV as to create a means of landing them if I am playing right lol.
