Maybe you have a romanticized view of Revised. The Allies are not as interesting in Revised as you remember. I suspect that in elite Revised play there is just as much potential for the Allies to be boring as in aa50 or global. From what I remember, elite Allied play involved alot of shucking sz12 and sz2. The Allied fleets were basically unassailable, so Axis needed sophisticated inf/armor strategies to win.
Part of the excitement when AA50 came out was that it was a game where air combat skill is really important, since fleets are no longer as invulnerable.
I agree that Revised was special and had alot going for it–there was alot of strategic variety, including German navy and KJF. But there was just as much variety in aa50, where its feasible to conduct a Pacific war. If you’re a Pacific war fan, aa50 and Global/Pacific have a lot going for them.
I’m not even sure Revised is a better game then the Spring 42 game with aa50 rules. The main thing that makes Revised better is KJF and German navy are more feasible, and these are good strats especially f2f. But Spring 42 tends to play out quicker and KGF can be quite exciting.
Global is a different kind of game, constrained as it is by strict historicity. However, the map and the ruleset are fantastic, so I expect great spin-off games to be developed once the current Global rule set gets old. Allies are also fun in the standalone Europe game.
