@CWO:
In case this is useful to superAAA, there’s a Wikipedia article titled “Comparison of Axis & Allies games” which summarizes the basic differences between all the various editions of A&A. It does a decent job of proving an adequate amount of detail within a reasonably concise article (which correctly states right at the beginning that “an exhaustive comparison is impossible”).Â
I read the whole thing… the chart IS WONKY and mostly useless… the article itself is mostly “here’s unit-x, unit-x does this and this, unit-x was in version-y, but not version-z.”
The read is pretty heavy, and not really in a good format IMHO.
I much prefer the style people on this forum have written when in MUCH SHORTER terms, they write “well, 1941 does this, this and this, and is mostly aimed at people who want this… 1942 does this, this and this, and is mostly aimed at people who want this”… so on and so on.
If there was someone who wasn’t at all familiar with the different versions of A&A, and wanted to learn the differences between them, pointing them to that Wiki article would be counter-productive in my opinion. I don’t like the way that article is written at all… its very heavy where it doesn’t need to be heavy, and seems to go out of its way NOT to compare the different versions of the game as a whole, but seems to focus on the difference between unit-A in version-x vs version-y, instead of the game as a whole.
