Why would players continue playing Classic and not play Revised?

Because I own a classic board not a revised board.  And for the nostalgia.

Those are valid answers, thanks!

Any other reasons?

Because right now I'm not playing enough to warrant having to learn a new ruleset?

1. less set-up time
2. faster play (at least in my experience)
3. less complicated rules/simpler play (less units, less special circumstances, one standardized rule set)
4. Huh  i'll add more as i think of them

The only reason I can think is simply because it's the first Axis and Allies game ever.  Revised wouldn't exist if it weren't for the Classic version.

Because certain clubs refuse to grow up. Tongue

Ok, seriously, the games are dramatically different from each other.  The armor rules ALONE make the games two totally different games and as such, some people grow tired of playing one game and want to play the other.  Personally, I'd rather learn games like Pacific/Europe, etc.  Though, right now I'm working on AARe which has a lot of weird twists and turns.

Do you have a game in progress?

Please report your findings, or feel free to ask any questions of me, I think Enhanced is a great variant rule set.

Pagan's a good player.  Good luck!

Please post your thoughts/questions/anything else as us Enhancers are trying to spread the word on this excellent rules variant.

Thank you!

Other then the fact it's relatively confusing and it appears the axis are WAY over powered to the point I think the allies need a 48 Bid to win, nothing to report yet.

Of my plays of AAR, I still prefer the gameplay of Classic. But also all the reasons rjclayton mentioned.
