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!

Gary - I love the quality of your videos - simply the best available!

Just got my game today. Thank you, Dan at Renegade! Gary, your videos are the best!

Love these Renegade reprints

Thank you for watching our unboxing of the 2024 Renegade reprint of Axis and Allies: Guadalcanal! Thanks to Combat Miniatures for sponsoring today's video! Visit them at bit.ly/Combat_Miniatures and use promo code BGN for 10% off your next purchase!

Just ordered it. Didnt even know it was released until i saw your video. Thanks guys!

A new video? My thirst is quenched

Thanks for the awesome unboxing. This is one axis and allies version I have never played. Will add this to the bucket list!

Thank u so much for the video! Didn't know about Guadalcanal reprint! So picked up that and A&A north Africa (which I've never heard of). And on top that, getting them at a discount. Perfect

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

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 -kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zq-Gq9qer7WUkYU.html 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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bZl4icSBxsi5lpc.html Part II: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZqjZtV9s9S9iKs.html

lol. How you set it up was awesome! Great sound effects.

Great video as always Gary! Alex and I watched it when it was first released, but I didn't get a chance to leave a message. Keep up the high quality videos. See you soon my friend!

Nice unboxing….. you got my mind wandering with all the customizations I could add

Great unboxing video!

Love this channel

Great video - thanks for the post! Love the inclusion of the Wildcats instead of P38s.

Man I've been wondering if they were ever going to ship these pre orders. I guess this is a good sign? It's always good to see a Gary video 💕

my just arrived thank you

Gary, very very cool. Please do a gameplay series on this alternative form of axis and allies combat rules. By the way, how was BB- STL? what was the name of your team? And, will you do any kind of recap like Rich did?

Or if you want to sort the guys more than they are extra bags can always be used.

Your underatted

Great video!! Thanks for sharing!

Missed you dulcet tones. Hope you do another playthrough, any A&A game would do.

Need this for me and my wife

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!

Love the video's guys! Just a quick question, could you guys do a play trough like you did a couple of months ago for this game and a couple of others like 1914 or Nort Africa (when it is out) who are not played like the WW2 world games?

If Japan had those islands it would threaten supply routes to Australia, for the U S a starting point.

I remember hating the dice box. Can you just roll the dice regular? I haven't played the game in 15 years

Alas, the one-unit chips that came with Classic (1984) were white, not gray. :-(

Do you still play axis and allies on a regular basis? I live in Memphis and signed up for the emails, but I haven't heard anything about any games happening soon.

Sweet. New video, but you need Shannon’s knife to open it up rather than your scissors. 😂

I lo e axis and allies. Can never find anyone to play with because it takes so long.

Background music very distracting. Not needed at all, detracts from otherwise good content.

Love these Renegade reprints
