@Imperious-Leader I would also like a copy but I imagine there would by copyright issues with this.
Axis & Allies 1942 2nd Edition Announced!
-
Sales and Distribution could have got mixed up and put out info that they were releasing the 1941, and then realized the mistake, pulled the PDF down, and a few weeks later put up the right one… I’m not saying i’m right, but I could have happened!
Right and they even provide a picture of the box ….for 1941 edition…
-
I don’t get it. 1942 was the entry level game. Then they announced 1941 with shorter playtime. Then they announce 1942 2e…?!? Makes no sense with the currently given information, but perhaps it will eventually…

41: cheap and fast game (30$)
42: “middle tier” game (60$)
50: advanced a&a (90$)
G40: niche aaa big game (180$) -
41: cheap and fast game (30$)
42: “middle tier” game (60$)
50: advanced a&a (90$)
G40: niche aaa big game (180$)Yup, same as what I figured.
-
It makes sense. Basically, they are pushing 1942 “upmarket” with new sculpts, a bigger map, etc, and introducing a “real” starter version.
-
My contact at Wizards told me to expect my review copy late May or early June.
1941 is real.
How do we know that A&A 1941 wasn’t just a mixup, and they meant for this to be released?
Hmmmmm….good thought.
GUYS look at the difference in description!
form 16 new sculpts to 5?
date change?
2 different release dates
all evidence points to 2 diffrent games…
dose 1 exist and one not…i dk…but they re 2 entirely diffrent games -
41: cheap and fast game (30$)
42: “middle tier” game (60$)
50: advanced a&a (90$)
G40: niche aaa big game (180$)agreed, but the prices are alot different

This is great news, I will eagerly await your findings! :-)
-
This is awesome news. Is there any news on a remake of the Anniversary Edition? I would have preferred that, but a larger board and some upgrades to the flawed 1942 edition is great news.

WHAT THE!?
Also, best news EVER

AA50, not anytime soon. Just this year, we’ll have 1941, a brand new game, along with 1942 2nd ed. and reprints of Europe and Pacific 1940. The A&A player will have thinner wallets, and 4 games in a year is more than enough.
-
Yeah, you got that right. Also with all the neat new sets being put out by HBG in the next few months and FMG’s German set is coming out in May, with the Black German set a month after that, there is going to be a lot of gamers with really stretched budgets.
-
Sounds to me like they are re-releasing 1942, with rules that will be completely consistent with all the alpha changes to the global version. With Appropriate AA Gun pieces.
Imagine if they even incorporated the convoy rules!
Atleast the games would work at precisely the same level, and get everyone playing the same thing.

Besides convoys there’s a few rules that I hope are not implemented on this version:
- Naval and Air Bases (Eastern US to Western Europe in 1 move is not a good thing)
- Aircraft Carriers can benefit both sides, although at the beginning it benefits more Japan.
- Minor and Major ICs (just be just ICs, otherwise Japan, UK and Soviet Union will have a boost in production capability)
-
The game is based on AA42, not Global so none of that.

cminke, what the …?

@Imperious:

AA42, 2nd Edition, IL. They might decide to add a few more changes other than changed AA Guns and the FAQ/Errata. Tac Bombers and Mech Infantry being a possible one, which also means changes to the cost of armor. It also doesn’t change much of the dynamic like Naval Bases would do or major/minor ICs. But who knows, they might decide to apply those rules anyways.
-
If they say based on AA42 because AA42 copies dried up you can assume it has no new concepts, excepts clarifications of known rule issues.
The only changes are indicated by new map size and new sculpts. If they used all these ideas from Global 40, the PDF would indicate that it was a reprint of AA42 using BOTH ideas from Global 40 and AA42.
Of course this AA artillery thing could be new, but probably just colored AA guns for each nation and a new sculpt.
Introducing all those G40 ideas will probably mess up AA42 causing another overhaul of the setup, etc.
