    @CWO:

    @Koningstiger:

    It’s just that I’m a sucker for miniatures rather than cardboard or blocks….

    A point about which I don’t imagine you’ll ever hear any criticism from toblerone or John or me.  Expressions of enthusiastic approval would be more likely. :)

    No not from me! The more miniatures the merrier! :-D

    Love the minis from 1941. As for me 1941 was basically an “Expansion pack” I have one copy I leaved sealed in the plastic and one for everyday use as well as extra OOB minis from HBG. I call 1941 a flop because it along with 1914 has received some reviews in the gaming world that were not favorable. 1941 is go for teaching people to play BUT I think Classic or Revised does just as well or better. Additionally when I’ve used 41 to teach I had real chips and paper or poker chips for money.

    Now I don’t think this was a terrible game but it’s at a price point where for a few dollars more you could just buy 42SE. When it first came out you could buy surplus Spring 42 for around $20 and with either purchase receive a much value per dollar.

    None of that mattered I own two to five copies of each A&A Edition except D-Day, AA50 and Bulge which I only have one each. Never had AAE40.1 or AAGC.

    I’m not trying to be harsh I just think A&A is about to go on hiatus for a bit and I think D-Day is one of those classics we won’t see again as a second edition.

    Now that I think of it I think I will be buying a D-Day game that will remain in the “sealed games wing” of my man-cave/office. LOL!

    Tolerone, I do think your correct about it, but it is so fresh for me, because I didn’t grow up with it like a lot of you, that everything is exciting for me, LOL.

    I just started collecting, a little over a year ago, so I’m still quite new to the experience, but yet it came out when I was in high school, but some how I didn’t hear about till 2009, when I bought the Anniversary edition.

    I never played it, till fall of 2013, because I couldn’t get anyone in my home town to play a strategy board game.

    It is still that way now. The only time I can play is if I travel and driving is not as fun as it used to be for me, so I mainly collect and now paint, which I thought I never would.

    Never say never, because it will bite you every time, LOL. :-D



  • @Wedge:

    Pre-order at Amazon May 2017

    https://www.amazon.com/Avalon-Hill-C3400000-Allies-D-Day/dp/B01MTJ8U17/ref=dp_ob_title_toy

    That looks like a reprint and not a new edition.


  • Notice that the AH logo is different than all the others.  I dont know if that makes a difference on whether it means re-print or maybe 2nd Edition?

    They relaunched their appearance lately.
    The logo is identical to the new one on their website: http://avalonhill.wizards.com/


  • Wow.  Does anyone think they will do this for Guadalcanal??


  • I hope they re-release Guadalcanal and Battle of the Bulge.  :-D


  • The last few posts here give the answers.  The game is either a new reprint or an older reprint.  The box looks a lot like the reprint I bought in 2013.

  • The “latest version” with updated logo that just say “AH Avalon Hill” instead of “AH Avalon Hill Games” has been released and is ready to ship from Amazon.
