Is there any way to still get the expansion pieces?

After all kick starter pledges get their games, they will go on sale sometime later, but not till all kick starter, as well as pre-orders, are filled. :-)

Does any store other than HBG sell this game, or do we have to order it from their webstore?

HBG

Noble Knight Games will carry it with a few others.

Hey Everybody!
I got my games this week. I’ve spent the last couple of days checking everything out. Lots of cool stuff here. Of course I have pics to share with you all. Check it out.
First is the box. The cardboard surface of the box and inner components are very high quality and professional looking. Comparable to the Axis & Allies 50th Anniversary game. Very nice.

I tried earlier to attach 2 pics to this post but kept getting an error message so I will try one at a time. It will take a lot of posts but I guess that’s okay.

Here is with the box open showing the parts boxes. They fit a little tight at first but I think over time and use they will loosen up some. At least you don’t spill all your parts.
At either end of the box are simple spacers to keep everything in place.

Next are the playbook, reference cards and battle board.

I got two copies of the game with tons of extra pieces. So excited to finally see this game come to fruiition, I know Variable and Coach are proud/relieved/happy to see it finally distributed to us backers. I had a couiple broken pieces come through so I emailed coach and he got back to me quickly letting me know that he would replace them :-D

Super high quality packaging and cardstock to create a truly unique and fun game that everyone will enjoy. You won’t be dissapointed with Amerika!

My copy of this game is in the mail and I’m hoping it will be here in a week. Can anyone tell me if it’s a good game now that you have had some time to play it. Do you need to order anything else to make it complete?

Everything you need to play the game is included. There are expansions that you can see on the HBG site but the basic game has everything you need.
I thought the game was pretty cool. At first I thought there was no way the Axis could win but after a couple of games I realized it’s harder on the US than I first thought. It can be pretty tough on the Axis too if you don’t get the right weapons.
I think it is a fair amount more complex than your typical Axis & Allies game. I first thought it was simply going to be a WW2 version of Fortress America, but it really has a lot more to it than that. The combat board is pretty complex and you may need to check the instruction book for reference a lot for your first game or two, but if you like it then the rules will probably become second nature just like A&A games.
I really like the game and absolutely love all the new sculpts. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Thanks for your reply I’m really excited to try it. I still have my copy of Fortress America and I always thought that it was a cool concept to have an assault on America since almost all other war games take place on other continents. I did order the Strategic Markers set, V2 rockets, and a nuclear blast marker as well because I thought it would add some complexity to the game. I read through the rules booklet to get a sense of how the game is played and it sure does have differences from the A&A games, although the basic concept of movement, offensive strength, defensive, etc are there which I like. I noticed that they also have a larger map for sale, do you think it would be helpful to have that or is the OOB board sufficient?
