@fanofbond:
They may not be as stupid as you guys think. They should realize that they can save money by releasing the game with ample pieces for all the countries and hiring a new spell checker and double checker of game components. That is all speculation of course and I could be entirely wrong then in august or whenever Europe comes out we are back at the emails complaining.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!111!!!eleven!!1 This is WOTC we’re talking about, right? The same guys that made MAGIC cards and wrote D+D 4th edition, remember? You’d think with AA50 edition SELLING OUT COMPLETELY AND NEEDING A RE-RELEASE they’d be able to afford a competent AA professional GAMER (that has actually played the damn game) that’d get all the details right the first time. And playtesters, Jesus God Almighty, do they do ANY playtesting on these things??? AAP40 doesn’t look like they did that good a job, there’s glaring mistakes in the errata. I guarantee that AAE40 has the potential to be HUGE with the Global game setup IF WOTC can get it right the first time.
Just shows that WOTC doesn’t really understand how good the Axis and Allies franchise really is. A damn shame, actually, they could be moving thousands of these boxes if they advertised it correctly and put the whole trading card/dungeonmaster’s guide sideshow aside.
