Hi,
I don’t see this ability in AAP40 (it is listed in AAE40).
Is it done on purpose for this game ?

It also applies to AAP40, and was corrected in the FAQ.

Congratulations: I could not wait to be a Tank (and wished I could have remained one!).
I started playing in 87 at university.

Yes, during the collect income phase meaning it is not available to spend until turn two.

Attacking subs and defending fighters (without a defending destroyer)

We had a different understanding of how Air units defend against subs (without destroyers also defending).

The Allies had Japan on the brink and this particular buy (by the Japanese player) was to take back the DEI. However, the ANZAC wolf-pack would have just eaten it up with only the cruiser and carrier defending (thus, the Japanese player would have lost the transports and the ability to use the fighter in any offensive island maneuvers).

At any rate, we let the Japanese player change his buy (as the USA player had yet to play his turn) and drop a destroyer in with the fleet. So the game continues…

@the:

…even though they have no attack value?

I guess it helps to think of the AC of having an attack value of zero. This means that it can be in with the combat move. (Also transports have an attack value of zero, but must be chosen last.) Things that do NOT have an attack value are: AA guns, Naval Bases, Air Bases, Industrial Complexes.

Why would Japan ever wait to attack? Am I missing something?

Whackamatt, I would like to know when you predict the Japanese will be done with China and India if you attack on J1 as you outline, and the UK buys almost exclusively infantry with just a couple artillery thrown in. Lets say you think you can be celebrating We Love the Emperor Day in Calcutta on turn 6 (I don’t have a number, I’m just throwing it out there). Can the US lock down San Fran, Honolulu and Sydney before then and destroy the IJN at Carolines? Making the Japanese investments in Asia (two ICs + several armor and infantry per turn) may give you a solid hold on Asia but the expense may still put you woefully behind the US and ANZACs. Then there is the final problem. The Japanese player can OWN Asia and it won’t matter if the US and ANZACs can take the home island. I’m not trying to shoot your plan down, I am just trying to see if you have thought this out a bit further. It is easy to look at an early Japanese move and think, “this is over.” But that is the same way it was on December 7th when they hit everything. I think the Allies will still have quite a bit of fight left in them.

AA 1940 Pacific has been released for 18 Days (Not 1 month as someone said, closer to a 1/2 month).

Let’s see if this question changes over the weeks/months.

Yes playing by myself is a real bummer, trying to find people in my area “Nashville”. Good new is my son and my son-in-law both will be moving here some time this year. Until then I have no choice but to play myself. The good news is I win every time. The bad is news is I loose just as many……
