@Krieghund said in Sacrifice a Unit and Trigger Zs gambit move and the Z Camouflage Card: must you play?:

Are there more cards that can have an unintented negative effect?

I’m sure there are. Any card can do so if it gets in the way of your plans.

That’s why I tried to cover all the cards here: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/35217/negative-effects-of-aaz-cards-for-the-active-player

Scott Van Essen, designer of Axis & Allies & Zombies provides detailed answers about how the game was created. Part 2 will be available next week.

Send 1 infantry into combat.

For those interested, photos of our meetup are going up now. Wizards put on a phenomenal spread of food including a mountain of pizza, held a raffle for prizes, and gave us all copies of AAZ! Scott and other developers even signed boxes.

It was truly an amazing event and we’re so grateful to Wizards for their hospitality.

@djensen:

I have another opportunity to interview the game designer of Axis  & Allies & Zombies. So I’d like to extend that to the community and find out, what new questions do you have about the game?

We’re getting close to GenCon and I’m scheduled to play on Saturday morning (Sorry I’m busy all day Thursday with Catan and Friday with A&A) so hopefully we can ask anything at this point. But feel free to ask soft ball and specific questions. Of course, I’ll reserve the right to not include any questions and let’s keep it positive.

I wish I could be there with you djensen.  8-)

@Midnight_Reaper:

Seriously though, a game with a map about '42 size with rules for playing an intro version of the European War from 1939 to 1941 and main rules for playing from '41 to the end? That actually does sound intriguing to me.

This bit here is what gives me hope for the game. Especially if there’s a way to play out the whole war starting from 1939.

…Just as long as they don’t cheap out on the components (wishful thinking, I know) or make another 1941-small map…

I’ve gotten over the shock, and now every time I see this board on the forums I get a good laugh.  I honestly cannot wait until this comes out just so I can watch someone talk about it on youtube.

“If you role a one, your infantry becomes a Zombie.”

Oh, yeah.  Good lols.  This is going to be better than my nightmares.
