How can this be misinterpreted?
If AA42 had more territories than revised, then the wording would be different.
“Updated naval unit rules as debuted in Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition”, I cannot imagine that this could mean that the only change from revised is the cruiser unit.
If AA42 doesn’t implement the rules from AA50, with exception of NOs, tech etc. there’s absolutely no point in buying it, unless revised is out of print, and you don’t have revised, and you wanted to buy revised… :?
There’s no point in a game called AA42 if it only has fancy colors. If AA42 has most of the rules from AA50 it’ll be fun to play probably, we could also do this now, but we don’t know all the rules yet.
