@crsluggo I think you are right about those carriers being Russian. If I were in their shoes, I’d reuse sculpts as well. They already have them, no need to re-invent the wheel.

Important Announcement: Larry Harris confirms existence of 2 new AA games!!
-
Axis & Allies Pacific 1940
1940? :?
OK guess it permits the other players to catch up on their sleep or do a beer run while the Chinese and Japanese go at it…. -
However, despite the unusual 1940 start…
ACTUALLY nix that: BECAUSE of the unusual 1940 start, I am intrigued.
-
Fuggles, why not just combine them and set them in 1939 with a really HUGE board with LOTS of territories. I’m talkin France as 12 zones so every piddly little nation can be it’s on territory and a board that, unfolded, is 5 X 3?
Now that would be a fun game! Set a rule that america cannot be attacked until 1941 (each turn being 1 season) and America cannot enter the war until 1942 or when they are attacked. :) (50% income until they go to war.)
Bring in all the AARe/AA50e submarine rules including CRD (Convoy Raid Damage = which counts as an attack on America) etc, etc.

you should have posted this:
(from HGD)
Discussed with IL and Larry so far:
per their conversation:
1940…. battle of Britain, Sealion, alternative axis movements. yes
I hope you have historical victory conditions this time and that these games can be linked into one huge game ( with optional mid section of map) They can
I hope the map is large enough so people don’t have to draw their own. It is
I hope the divebomber is a 3-2 unit costing 8 and you have new pieces for the factory and AA gun its 3/3- cost 11, Combined arms
( my interpretation of this is if you have 1 art, 1 tank, 1 inf, you may get one extra die to roll or a modifier)
I hope you include a score sheet on the back of the rules so players can copy it and write down officially the IPC Score sheet?
I hope the dice have symbols on them They don’t
I hope you change out some of the artillery sculpts Not happening
I hope that japan gets a new battleship It won’t
I hope you include escort carriers (jeep carriers) Nope
I hope you have mechanized infantry and these are no longer considered “technology” Done
I hope the A-bomb can be developed in the game I don’t think so
I hope that neutrals have military forces and be swayed to align with one side or the other They do
This is HUGE!
I hope that Japan and Russia can not be forced into war for either of them to win “forced”?
I think this means no-
I hope that you include a deck of cards? No cards
-
IL- time for you to make separate threads for these and compile the facts. :-)
-
done for the most part.
-
I’ve created a news story for it too.
-
This is what we have been waiting for!!! Thank you Larry!
-
This is just a rumor. Larry dont make this games, WOTC does. When Greg Leeds confirm this, then I will belive it.
-
sorry to be a party pooper :-(
-
I think you should believe it.
-
I think you should believe it.
I think Larry has some non-disclosure agreement, or other kind of condition with WOTC, that prevent him from telling about future games. He never told anything about BotB, Guad nor AA50 Ann nor this new 1942 edition before they was released, so why do he tell about this new Europe/Pacific game ? HUH ? Beats me.
-
I think Larry tell this just to tease IL
-
Things change. Maybe all that noise you guys have been making about getting advance information is having an effect.
-
Christmas for AAP40
Summer 2010 for AAE40
-
updated. and yes i also think that something has happened as a result of our ‘noise’.
WOTC may be waking up.
-
Christmas for AAP40
Summer 2010 for AAE40
Why dont they release both games in the same time ? I got a heart condition and might not be around next summer, for christ sake. I also do mountain climbing without a rope.
-
Well, I guess we could hold Pacific until next summer also, if you really want. :wink:
