I just bought a second hand copy of battle of the bulge and I’m reading the operation manual. Since english is not my mother tongue and since I didn’t find a solution in the dictionnary, I 've following question(s) : What does “grayed out” means on Page 16 : "It can’t retreat to a partial (grayed out) hex or off-board ? And what counts for a partial hex on the map ?
Does anyone knows ?
Tks

@vodot In Belgium, some beers can be very strong

@c82rcn : indeed, some sites do mention this, others just state that it is sold out. But is the restock preorder of Zatu a guarantee that there will be a new production ? Maybe, we’ll see. We had the same issue with the memoir44 extentions like the winter/desert board or the meditarenean extention. There I saw too restock preorders and after many months the extentions are now back for sale. Regards

@Panther : indeed, I saw it just after I made my question. But it was too late… Sorry folks

Re: Buying information.

Seems that the anniversary edition is again out of print. you can’t get it anymore in Western Europe, I don’t know about other countries or how about in USA ? Does anyone know ? I still have my 2008 version and find it the best version. Allthough… I now bought the 2nd versions of Europe and Pacific 1940 and will play it soon for the first time.

@Krieghund : Ok, now I see it. Tks Krieghund.

@Krieghund : still a remark for the naval base. I meant the territory in which the naval base is located but I think we agree about that.
But why is it written on page 15 “Naval Mine Fields” : “…At the end of this phase, the player controlling the corresponding territory (or the original controller if it’s contested) rolls one…etc” ? Why just not writing that it is only the original controller who can roll the mine dies if he controls the territory, contested of not ?

@DoManMacgee : Tks a lot and hi back from Belgium !

@Krieghund : Tks a lot for your reply, very kindfull. I’ll play the game with my brother next week during a short hollyday in France.
Greetings from Belgium !

Hello, after playing several times AA42 revised, I now bought AAWOI and read the rulebook. I have some questions :

• Optional rule russian revolution : is it advised to play this option while playing for the first time WO I ? Why do they introduce this optional rule ? To fortify the position of the Central powers ?
• Naval mine fields : When the adjacent territory of a naval base has been taken over by the enemy, does this rule also counts for ships from the original controller ?
• Errata WWI : I don’t understand the meaning of the adjustment for Page 15, Phase 2 , movement land units. What’s the impact of the difference with the original text ?
