Thanks, that helps a lot. I would still like to have the missing and altered pieces/ sculpts. Basically it was a labeling mistake by the seller. On the other hand, sending it back and looking for another offer is too much hassle. Maybe I can fix it with a 3D print :-)
I’ve known Axis & Allies for a long time, but the Europe and Pacific versions somehow slipped past me. They’re really well improved compared to the rather simple world version.

@Cow:
ONE BOMBER, WHERE IS RUSSIA’S ONE BOMBER.
If it’s that important to you, just make it a house rule where Russia starts with one. :-P
-
I hope that in next installments of this game Larry will consider buffing both Italy and Russia, in order to make it enjoyable to play one of those two nations in a live game.
-
Buffing?
you mean include two Orbital Buffers so you can shine car?
Yea sure i guess…
Oh NM you mean more spaces between Italy and Russia. :mrgreen:
-
I’m sorry to hear you are confused IL.
I guess you don’t have alot of experience with recieving buffs?
-
No not confused, but i have my cars shined by auto detailers every week and they use orbital buffers.
-
Italy has germany to back it up, Russia is alone (takes 3 turns by the shortest route to get fighters from usa).
ONE BOMBER. JUST ONE BOMBER MAN.
-
I thought it was 4 moves
-
hollywood->Japan waters->midchina->russia.
4 if you count placement. But yeah no garauntee you got fleets parked at japan waters to shuck figs over.
-
Well it seems more likely for Washington -> Iceland -> Finland -> Moscow or if u have an AB in gib and syria.
-
When do you ever have finland?
-
Soviets take Finland often enough, if Germany goes south Barbarossa, only for a turn or two mind.
-
5 ipc value to USSR is priceless

Sorry it’s taken so long. I was working a little bit on this yesterday. The differences in the versions are slight:
- Same map, except for the production chart at the top.
- More pieces, 50+ per set.
- Some new pieces as you saw from squirecam
- Rules are at the very least the latest Alpha (I haven’t read through them and I’ll be getting help on this)
- New setup, in a few territories it’s quite drastic.
That’s it really.
I’ll be posting the setup and the map later today.
-
WTH?
- New setup, in a few territories it’s quite drastic.
I thought the setup was the same as alpha 3!
It’s NEW?
-
…
- New setup, in a few territories it’s quite drastic.
…
New setup for Global (other than latest Alpha) or for the theater games only?
- New setup, in a few territories it’s quite drastic.

Since I haven’t been keeping up with Alpha, I don’t know.
What I do know is that the setup printed on the storage boxes in each of the games does not match the previous version.

Ah ok, then maybe the “new” global setup is identical to the latest Alpha.
Let’s wait and see…
-
It will just be Alpha 3 and that is drastically different. Japan lost 8 Air units remember. Squirecam said something similar, as he too was unfamiliar with Alpha 3.
Would be exciting if I was wrong though. Except, please, no bomber for cow!
We would have to execute him or commit suicide.
Umm! -
Anybody have a link to the Alpha setup?
