We got the preview of AA 1941 like 1 month before the official release I hope it is going to be like this with those two.

But I don’t even know if Djensen know about the re release because he did not post the flyers on the website front page like he did with 1942 2nd ed and 1941

when are we getting more info on this?

Sorry I forgot to mention these are only the USSR NA
If you want to take a look at the UK and US Japanese and German one’s, look for the rulebook by searching ‘A&A revised rulebook 2004’

I am getting my game on Friday and since the only version I own is the 2004 revised edition.
I’ll probably be to lazy to adjust to the new rules so I will play 1942 2nd edition with the revised rules.
(I will wright a short review of how the game went when I actually play it)

This brings me to my point: many pointed out that the allies were fighting an uphill battle. But I think that the rule from revised specially the National Advantages will greatly help the allies.

Here are the main NA that I think will help the allies

USSR
1.Russian winter: All inf defend on 3 for 1 turn
2.Non Aggression treaty with Japan: You get 4 unit wherever Japan attack you
3.Mobile Industry: IC may be moved in any red territory (good to escape german capture)
4.Salvage: If Germany looses a tank and then retreats place one soviet tank in that territory
5.Land Lease: US and UK troop in red territory may be replace by red units at the beginning of the red turn.
6.Trans Siberian Railways: Allows infantry and AA gun to move 2 spaces in some specified tettitories
Also
Uk fleet could be saved by scrambling fighters from enigma decoded
USA would get +1 inf in any chinese territory

I will tell you more when I try this ruleset.

PS:Sorry for my english, I am from the french speaking part of Canada

@Mallery29:

for 25 bucks, its worth having…think of the ICs, AAs, chips, and pieces you can pillage from this game to help out the other games…you’ll never get this stuff that cheap indivdually (unless you happen to go back to that guys garage sale!  :-D )

You are right for 25 it is a great deal for backup pieces.

Finally I bought the 1941, 1942 first ed and 1942 2nd ed for 90$.
Great deal I think.

Very nice piece. Cant wait to see them fully painted.

Just a question:
What kind of paint are you using, because I wanted to paint the jap tiger and plane in black and german boats (that are jap scults) in orange from the 1941 game.

and the bb still gets to fire?

I think I’ll do what you did. Buy 1942 2nd edition (found a store that sells 1942 2nd ed and 1941 for 62$) and print the 1942 1st chart and rules. Could you please tell me where you found the chart and rulebook.

Thanks for your advice

Im back with another question!

9.Can you do an amphibious assault and at the same time attack from an adjacent land territory?
Ex: Attack Egypt from Lybia and drop a tank and inf from the transport that is in the adjacent sea zone? If yes does the BB still get to shot is shore bombardment?

And thanks everyone for your fast and friendly answers :)

Is this game still worth buying since the second edition is out?
Also I already the revised edition that look pretty similar to this one.
Any taught on this?

Yes it is me again :)

7.I need some clarification on the USA national advantages. The island base bonus. Could you give me some examples of some situation where this bonus comes into play. (can a bomber from hawaii bomb japan and come back?)

8.Can a plane move 4 to attack somewhere and use retreat has a 5th to land in friendly territory?

Thanks for your answers

A last one

6-Can defending plane retreat? Or any other unit can retreat from a battle?

also i forgot this one

5-Can a tank that only moved 1 space to attack can move 1 more after combat in the noncombat phase? And i dont really understand the German panzerblitz bonus. (I play my games with all nationals advantages)

Hi
I have a couple of questions

1-Is the AA gun the only way to defend against strategic bombing or fighter can defend?

2-Can a plane land in recently capture territory? ex: I capture Moscow can my fighters land there to defend?

3-What is the maximum unit attacking and defending? There is only 6 dices. Ex: 10 inf 5 tanks attack Moscow. Do I roll 6 unit per cycle or all of them per cycle?

4-I don’t really know how to explain this question so I will give an example. It happened in a game I did yesterday. I was Russia. I had 10 inf and 1 tank in west Russia and 3 inf in Moscow. Germany attacked west Russia successfully from Ukraine SSR. Then he moved 5 tank from Belorussia’s into Moscow. We argued if that move was legal (i think not) but i let him anyway because he was new to the game. my 3 inf we chewed by his 5 tank. I lost Moscow. I was wondering is this move legal? I thought i read somewhere that you had to do all combat movement before rolling the dices.

Thanks alot

Larry Harris (the game designer) announced unofficially that A 2nd print for Pacific and Europe should arrive this fall.
