Something like this, perhaps?

To celebrate the 50-year anniversary of Avalon Hill, Axis & Allies is launching its most expansive game ever. The AXIS & ALLIES ANNIVERSARY EDITION will feature the debut of Italy as the third Axis nation, the introduction of the cruiser unit to the naval lineup, and the largest Axis & Allies board to-date measuring 24x46 inches. With over 600 pieces, players will be able to recreate and decide the outcome of WWII like never before. The Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition is designed and developed by Larry Harris, the original designer of Axis & Allies, and will release on October 23, 2008 with an MSRP of $100.

A few of us know a bit about it, right Krieghund? :wink:
But I haven’t talked with Larry for a couple of months, so I don’t have a good feel as to where the process is at this time.
I would assume that Larry and AH/WotC/Hasbro will start putting out tidbits and crumbs concerning the game soon.

… What “can” you tell us more?
But beware… “Individuals who may be considered a risk … based on loose conversation or publishing information after being ‘read-in’ to or ‘read-out’ of a special access program, are sometimes visited by ‘men in suits,’ … can bring a tremendous amount of pressure to conform to the terms of the signed disclosure restriction statement…”
lolololol :evil:

I’m not really at liberty to discuss it, but I will say that this game will be at least as big a step beyond Revised as Revised was beyond Classic.

Funny you put it that way because thats exactly what i wrote it should be to another poster.
But tell me this: you not just pretending to be in the know right? I mean you just didn’t by accident find that link, as you know it was going to be posted before it was posted. You see where im getting at?

I didn’t know exactly when it was going to be posted - just roughly. I have, however, known about this game for quite a while.

Can you confirm that it will be demo’ed at Gen Con? If Larry is going to be at Gen Con or origins, then he must have it. If thats true, then expect Imperious Leader to arrive first class with my personal escort battalion.
This is so very important to me as you may already know. Its in my soul you might say. A culmination of indirect influence over years finally paying off.
The reason why i am here for all these years was for such a game to be made professionally.
-
I’m sorry, I don’t know what the plans for GenCon are. It wouldn’t surprise me if it were to show up there, though.

Greg Smorey eluded to this a week ago in his blog email he sent out. I emailed him and he didn’t reply.
Id start bugging him because he knows something that we don’t. I feel it.
Kreig:
please keep people here posted ASAP when you know we know. :wink:

The release date is october/november, so be patient and prudent oh great leader of mine
-
On one hand I dont understand AH’s policy about releasing details of the games almost on the dead line… but on the other hand… think about it: If you knew EVERYTHING about this game like 7 months earlier… what diference would it make??? You could still dream on about the game… the game release is 23 October 2008… you wont be able to paly it till then.
Sooooo…whats the diference between knowing everything about the game and not knowing? Its the same… You can only dream about it… you’ll be able to play it only after 23 October.
Bottom line? RELAX… and live life! :roll:
-
This should offer plenty of opportunity for playtesting this time around so hopefully the fanbase won’t have to rework the rules like LHTR. Wonder if it will “borrow” any ideas/NA’s from Enhanced?
-
The new version sounds awesome. I’m usually all psyched out over video games but this is just as exciting if not more so. Rock on Larry!
-
Deluxe=anniversary edition?
-
yes exactly!
Its a special new version of Revised that includes many new ideas and Italy!
-
I read the other thread. I was just wondering if the two were the same.
Thanks.
-
really?
oh my god so Deluxe is finally coming -
That Yoper seems to be in the know and since he seems pretty involved in the tourney scene along with Smorey I would not be surprised if this version was much more ‘tourney’ friendly read: quicker to play.
And with over 600 pieces and the big board it is fair priced at $100. The revised set has about 360 pieces and goes for $50 bucks.
While I hate to disappoint Aldertag and IL I’ll only be able to get 1 copy.

@Craig:
The fact that tournament games need to come to a certain conclusion within a set timeframe is something that a GM must deal with on their own. People keep thinking that Larry should have tournament rules included in the game, but really that is something that should be left to the individual GMs. The needs of the different GMs determine what each of them need for their tournament.
Larry has enough on his plate when dealing with everything that comes with developing a game. And he isn’t a tournament GM and has never dealt with the issues that a GM deals with.
Indeed. The tournaments exist for the game, not the game for the tournaments. :-)
