RE: AA42 Questions & Answers
Hey all,
on p. 24 of the rulebook (unit profiles) it says that artillery will support infantry and increase it’s attack to 2. My question is: when an artillery unit supports an infantry unit to attack with 2, can it also attack with 2 for itself? In that case it would fire 2 times, 1 in support of the infantry and 1 for its own attack, is this possible?

RE: A&A Spring 1942 Original
Well, I have just been very stupid since A&A Spring 1942 was being sold on a very famous online store here in the Netherlands: bol.com
So I did order a game and will receive it probably at this friday. I wont be selling A&A second edition since rumours go that the co-producer (or something) ‘Wizards of the Coast’ wont be sending IPC paper money and ofcourse I would like to insert the technology research of 2nd edition into Spring 1942.I would like to thanks everyone again for their help!

RE: A&A Spring 1942 Original
@White:
But do you also know some stores that sell A&A Spring 1942 in Europe? I have a bit trouble to find stores in my own country and I dont like to buy from ebay or amazon second handed.
What country do you live? One way to get it is usually to go to a board game store and even if they don’t have it they can usually order it from their distributors. Be prepared to pay more (in my country it can be double) than you would if you bought the game on the US though
Netherlands… there are no board game stores near me as far as I know… maybe other Dutchies know some?

RE: A&A Spring 1942 Original
Thanks for your quick reply. My Game play manual does indeed say ‘Second edition rules’. In that case I’m sorry for being on the wrong forum, I really thought my version was a Spring 1942 one :P
Its really confusing all this different kind of versions and games. Although I like the ‘second edition’ I think I will want to go a bit more modern on the Spring 1942. The website you showed me is very nice for information. But do you also know some stores that sell A&A Spring 1942 in Europe? I have a bit trouble to find stores in my own country and I dont like to buy from ebay or amazon second handed.
Furthermore: do you think anyone would be intrested in buying my second edition? I think I wont be using it anymore after buying a modern version.

A&A Spring 1942 Original
Hey guys,
Recently someone gave me a version of A&A Spring 1942 Original. I believe this is the game from 1984, but i’m not sure.
Me and my friends started to play this game and really liked it, but as everyone else around here we noticed the board was to small.
Anyway, I started to look on this forum for solutions for the board and was looking into some strategy.
I got a bit confused though… I see posts everywhere about strategics with destroyers and cruisers… and I’m like, where did THEY come from?
So it’s obvious I have quite an old version.Now I would like to ask you guys the following questions:
- Should I buy a new A&A version or upgrade the old one? (with new board and new units)
- Is the orginal version of A&A Spring 1942 also compatible with the newer game board? (where for example there are more German occupied Russian territories and the impassable Sahara)
- Where can I find information about the new rules considering destroyers and cruisers? Is the old game play manual even valid at this time?
Thanks in advance for the help!

RE: D Day Victory conditions?
What are your impressions? From total number of games you have played so far, who wins more frequently Germany or Allies? Is it the German side stronger? According to your expiriance, is it necessary to raise the number of turns from 10 to 12?
The game seems pretty balanced to me. Germany wins more frequently, but in my opinion that is because the allied player does not start to play agressive. Still most times when Germany has a victory it is just left with a few (or even 1) infantry units being surrounded by the allies in T10. I haven’t played as allies very much yet, but I think I will in advance because its more of a challenge.
