Hey all,

So I’ve been board gaming for as long as I’ve been nerding it up.  As long as I’ve been studying history, I have always been a WWII buff.  Why then, you may ask, have I been avoiding A&A since forever?  A couple things factored in to it, but finally I submitted and joined a group that did monthly five player games.  New to the mechanics, I was allowed to start off the first couple of games playing Russia so I could get a hang of how things worked.  Just the other night though I stepped up and was allowed to play the UK and was doing great (I think), before the Axis took Hawaii and crushed Moscow.

Anyway, that all aside, I decided to go out and purchase a copy of the game for myself, and while I really want the deluxe anniversary addition (which is way out of print and out of my price range), I settled for Spring 1942.  My question is, what set of rules is this edition under?  Which strategy section should I be looking at?  Revised?  Anniversary?  I’m looking to find the basic strategies and any errata for this edition, but not sure where to start.

Thank ya much.

JJ
