1940 3rd edition?

[Ucross]

Just curious if there ever will be one.

It seems like there is a consensus on battleships and cruisers being a little too expensive and other issues that could be fixed.

Anyone have any information on the subject?

The "balanced mod " is pretty popular. You might want to try that. I think it’s under playboardgames

I feel that it’s highly unlikely that Larry will ever make another WW2 game using the Axis & Allies game mechanics.

I feel that YG is correct.

There also wont be another war that is as amenable to being a board game as World War 2, so we can also dismiss the possibility of a future LH World War 3 game with cool armies and bases, probably just mushroom clouds and smoking ruins, if we are lucky.

Axis and Allies is pretty much put on a shelf for the foreseeable future. Thats why WOTC put out all those games in one year ( 1941, 1942.2, 1940 2nd), to complete contractual obligations with Larry.

Pretty sure in 10 years they will make some nostalgia version of AA, but forget 3rd edition this and that.

D-Day was really not a new edition ( well just rehash out a few more copies since they nearly sold out… type of thing). Perhaps 1940 may be released in a new print edition, but don’t expect new ideas,rules,etc

Hey, I even provided the link, what more do you want?

He’s working on it right after he finishes “Hoaxes and Hooey”.

Wait, was there a DDay reprint?

It’s been reprinted on and off over the years.  It occasionally pops up at one of my local hobby shops.
