1. That one always bugged me too.
2.yea that also seemed silly to me because you would think (common sense) that the main transport fleet of a power would right next to the capitol.
3. Yea that seemed silly to me as well by my guess
would be that maybe the placement is historical in nature?
4.  Those has always bugged me even in the first game I played. They were completely out if place to attack were they would be needed.

So true, how often I have gotten so use to collecting 55 IPC’s as the USA player that I forget to collect any additional IPC’s later in the game if I take a DEI country or recapture the Phillipines.

Can you send me a picture? I didn’t take my P40 game to India.

@nimitz1:

Seems a little ludicrous but hey…this game seems to be full of little problems but it does put more strategic importance on wiping china out altogether as early as possible, if necessary at the expense of going after india. Thanks gents.  One more question if I could…if a kamikaze attack (or a number of them are made on a carrier with aircraft, if the carrier is sunk are the aircraft lost?

Not necessarily. Kamis can only be used on the allies’ turn, so the planes have their remaining movement to land

From my understanding the Europe map will be the exact same size as the Pacific map, so just double the width and the height should be the same.

@Gravy:

Also, I’m attacking your lone sub with 2 of my own subs.  Do we all get a “first strike” ability since there are no destroyers involved.

Yes.

@Gravy:

I know you need a destroyer in order for planes to attack them but you don’t need a destroyer for lets say your battleship to attack an enemy sub do you?

No.

Yea its the hover rule, in the right circumstances it can extend the range of your air units.

That’s a good thing, since Japan has an advantage

@Clyde85:

An addational 6 inf anywhere in China would be awesomeness! it would do very little to save the rest of the allies but boy would it drive Japan nuts for a few turns.  Maybe 6 artillery would be even better!!  :lol:

Thanks for explaining because I didnt really understand the concept either (I still wont use it though)

What would drive Japan even more nuts: 6 inf in Philippines, Borneo, or Shan State

I tried a while ago, they were too big, but you can try.

@de:

The French position in A&A is starting to remind me of Colonial Diplomacy.

That was the best Diplomacy variant

There were other official ones?

How do you like the world war 1 varient of regular dip for 2 players

@Wilson2:

The Canadian roundels are just for aesthetics - Larry said so.

Went thru the Global facts thread and I can’t see him saying that they’re only there for looks.

@calvinhobbesliker:

Wrong board

They can declare war on each other whenever they want; and there’s no war if they don’t

How is this the wrong one, it’s on the Pacific 40 board.

There needs to be a AAG40 board.

Because in P40, USSR doesn’t exist.

I agree, but for now europe includes global

@ozimek1:

In my latest game, I moved a US bomber to India via Queensland. It took out a transport off of one of the DEI islands on the way, which was my main reason for doing it. Also it was useful in harrassing Japanese shipping lanes along the Chinese coast. Obviously it only contributed indirectly to the defense of India, but it was fairly painless to get it to the area.

Bombers are the WORST defenders(except transports)

I always use chips whenever I have more than 1 of that unit type in a space.

I also use blue chips for airbases and black chips for naval bases - easier to see on the board.

I have found if the US sticks it Navy out there too soon a smart Japanese player will pick off the US Navy first.  Not sure if anyone else has had this same experience.  And if the US waits a couple of turns to strengthen its Navy the DEI belongs to Japan and the British Navy is gone with that part of the Japanese fleet sailing back to the Phillipines.
    Thats just been our experience for the most part.

i would be willing to do it for US hellcat fighters

Other than the UK/ANZAC ability to take control of them peacefully, they are treated as territories whose capital is in enemy hands.  Whoever captures them from Japan will have control of them.

@brisco:

We also need to remember that a single battleship piece does not represent a single ship, but a group of ships primarily composed of battleships.

Yes, that seems to be being forgotten, if I would of remembered that I wouldn’t of posted this (maybe.)
