It's small details like the designers notes with quotes from actual serving members of the military that really take this to the next level. Board looks great and while I think a plastic box for the dice would have been a better upgrade, you can tell just by looking at the newer cardboard one that it is a better quality than the original print. Can't wait for the future of A&A!

I was extremely excited to learn, yesterday, that this was re-printed. I have had my eye on this game for a long time but it was always very expensive to buy an old copy. I had no idea Renegade games took over this series. I ordered it instantly and then pre-ordered N. Africa (which i also did not know existed) as well. Very exciting!

I played this game with my late father over a decade ago. I have fond memories and even photos recording the moment. It was actually a home-made copy, as it was already sold out at the time. I've even made the dice box. Unfortunately I ended up losing that copy and thought I would never be able to play it again. But I just bought a copy of this new print run! I can't believe it's going to be possible for me to play it again

Hey! I am working on a how-to-play for this game now. It will have a play-by-play kind of feel, but we might do a full gameplay video at some point. The BBR event in St. Louis was a lot of fun! It was great to meet loads of new people and a few that I have only seen in the funny papers. I played with the KC Warmongering Malcontents, and let's just say... I learned a lot. 😀 Even so, honestly, I don't think I know enough about that variant that any recap I could provide would add much value. It was fun, though! Thanks for checking in!

Gary - really enjoy your A&A videos. What are the differences between this Renegade print, & the avalon hill print other than the reinforced dice box? Is the rulebook different? Are any of the tokens or plastic pieces different/ improved? Thx!
@danbojanowski2472
5 ай бұрын
I can respond to that (Producer of the game, from Renegade). There are three main changes: 1. Airstrip tokens have been modified to show control for US/Japan on either side of the token, and 9 "Damaged" tokens have been added. 2. Some of the unit sculpts have been updated to be more historically accurate for the time and setting of the game. None of the sculpts are totally new. Specifically these sculpts were updated: Axis: Battleship, Aircraft Carrier, Transport, Submarine, Artillery, Anti-Aircraft. Allies: Anti-Aircraft. Also, in the original production the plastic colors of the included Cruisers were swapped, so we corrected this issue. 3. Updated rulebook to add any clarifications and FAQs since the previous printing. Also, a few minor things that Gary noted in the video, like the plastic bags being re-sealable and the reinforced dice box.

Congrats to anyone preordering this great game. I was fortunate enough to grab a copy back in 2008. Due to a lack of players I started to play it frequently a year ago. In this video from Board Game Nation about Axis & Allies Guadalcanal I posted my complete rule set for Hidden Movement -kzitem.info/news/bejne/kX-M3qujg4FhlIY Hidden Movement is an optional rule in A&A Guadalcanal, but IMHO it needs some improvement to make movement really hidden. I also introduced Tactical Bombers and Seaplanes into the game. Tactical Bombers were not part of Axis & Allies when A&A Guadalcanal was first published, because they were first introduced with the 1940 Europe and 1940 Pacific games. These two can be combined to Global 1940 and Renegade Games has released these two games as well. Together with larger maps for both 1940 Global and my beloved Anniversary Edition. And I am also looking forward to their new North Africa game. It is really great that Renegade Games brings some fresh air into this game series of World War II games.I hope they will make a reprint of „Axis & Allies Battle of the Bulge“ as well, because this is still on my wish list. There is a good game tutorial for Guadalcanal by Harsh that is split in two parts. Part I: kzitem.info/news/bejne/mGl-vJWGmpSGmZg Part II: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1GqpmaaCh6CKi6w

You can roll without the box, but you'll need to keep them in order because the neck of the box determines the casualties. I have seen people use a kind of dice tube, but I think it might affect the randomness of the rolls. Thanks for watching!
