Thank you for the video. Was a huge fan of all of Milton Bradley's Gamemaster series. Played A&A a lot. Somehow I missed the first kickstarter. Glad to be getting in on this one. Please include the stars!!! I would like to cast a vote for an all in option on your webstore after the campaign to make it easy for someone who just wants to order everything.
I think the changes are mostly in the right direction. I'm just not a fan of the single box to hold all the unit pieces. The smaller boxes makes it easier to pass them around the table.
any thought to having a poll (feedback) on wishlist items to see what the community favors if you haven't already prioritized the list? I know the wishlist all depends on the KS, but I feel it will be successful enough that some wishlist items can be done.
A poll is a good idea... but the feasibility and minimum order quantity are big factors as well as shipping costs, etc. But yes, a poll can't hurt. We'll probably launch one on the Facebook group a week in to the campaign.
We will have an a la carte pre-order system on our webstore for supplements and upgrades. We will very likely have bundles too. This will all happen not long after the KS is a success.
I hope the Kickstarter goes as well as last time. I’ll definitely be getting the upgrade kit. Are they going to make the game so the Axis have a better chance? Our Global games run 5 to 1 in the Allie’s favor.
Do you play with the optional Stalin Rule? Currently no changes are planned that will majorly affect balance. We are trying to simplify the Soviet-Japanese pact.
@@NightingaleGamesLLC I have seen a strategy with the stalin rule that Russia intentionally breaks the soviet-japanese pact turn 1 or 2 because they want to get stress as fast as possible to get allies into their territory. Will anything be adjusted to address this strategy because I assume farming stress is not the intention you all were going for.
@@ryanlaune5599 I'm curious how that worked out in the long run... Can you elaborate how events unfolded in say Turn 4 or 5? I've seen that strategy attempted, but in the case I saw, it backfired mostly.
@@NightingaleGamesLLC I misspoke, I have heard of (not seen) this strategy. If it tends to backfire because of too much stress and is a bad strategy for Russia, then it is working as you would expect. I was curious mostly if you had seen this in playtesting / talks with players, and if it was a popular strategy. If so, were you guys thinking of any rule changes to combat it because like I said, I doubt stress farming is viewed as something that could be good.
@@NightingaleGamesLLC by your reply, it sounds like it is not a real viable option or is very popular so my worries seem to not be valid.... which is a good thing :)
To stop anyone from wasting 16 minutes. - Box is now Smaller by one cm - Stress board redesign to avoid using the cumbersome stress tokens. - Medals are 10% smaller for the same reason as above - Prettier and smarter storage for units - More OP charts nothing new here. Taiwan keeps on not existing. I can't be mad at a small developper trying to sell their products and wanst to avoid chinese governement's ire. - Nano-expansion tokens. (Basically just tokens to show submarines that have ran away and convoys that were raided and some slight new rules.) - New Sicily Card. The original had a ressource misprint. - Lighter italian command tokens. - cheaper and smaller hotspot tokens to cut down on cost (original can still be ordered) - Only 1 battleboard for now. A second could be added with goals on the kickstarter. - Rule booklet are slightly longer (+4 pages) - Quick battle boards aimed at making combat faster (still being designed but is said to reduce game time by 30%(bold claim)) That's it.
Ordered last week cant wait for its arrival. I keep rewatching videos, lol. Like a kid waiting for Christmas.

When you send airplanes to a battle in the sea, they should go back to friendly territory after the battle? Or they stay there.
Nice redesign!

I agree with bgm 1961

Is there going to be a way for First Edition owners to get certain items? The new Morale Board for example?....

Well I’m really excited to see this! will shipping be opened to Europe in this version?
Yes!
Finally! My favourite boardgame is back

That's it.
but then they will miss my sleep-inducing voice... and never be able to fall asleep!
“Wasting” is a tad harsh
Solo rules please!!
It's on the wishlist, but it is also very challenging. It's like creating an AI for chess.
