You make fair points, but I think Larry wouldn’t think A&A is disrespectful. In fact, it seems he views it as an outlet for his deep respect of the WWII generation.
Alternate history (like Amerika) is a finer line, I suppose. That is speculative, but ultimately serious.
Zombies just seem to cheapen the whole experience. My opinion, of course. Perhaps it will be the most fun and engaging of all the A&A games … I just won’t find out. Interested in seeing what everyone here thinks, though…
This is one of the stupidest things I have ever seen or heard. Disrespectful to the memory of those who fought and mentally lazy game design.
First A&A game I won’t own.
They all look fantastic, but I absolutely love those silver bombers. 
BTW, played this scenario for the first yesterday with a new group. Only one other guy had played Global before, and I thought this was a fantastic setup to teach the game to new players. They all had some familiarity with the franchise having played other versions, but they left super-excited to play Global again.
Ah, understand. For some reason I conflated the rule for capturing unfriendly neutrals and the rule about invading a strict neutral (which turns all the others friendly to the other side). Thanks for the response!
Question about Neutrals in this setup…
Some of the neutrals have already been invaded by the opposite side (e.g., Greece, a pro-Allies territory, has German units in it). Does that mean the rest of the neutrals on the board are aligned with the Allies at the start of the scenario? Or do you continue to follow the rules for neutrals until the next time one is invaded?
Excited - Backer #7 here, in for the Signature Edition.
