I’ve never done it myself, but my impression is that the game is severely imbalanced in favor of Japan, so start with a 30-50 IPC bid for the Allies, and revise from there.
Actual AA pacific 1940 map pictures

I had to snap quickly, lest the WOTC Security find me and take away the camera, but here’s at least a semi-decent look at the new map.
It’s Huge.
-
Nice.
So how big do you think the map is? -
More Gencon pictures !
And Larry’s Girlfriend too…
-
so i see that seaports and airfields are not printed on the map, interesting. and it appears that western u.s. has two i.p.c. values, guessing one for pacific and one for global

The first is USA not at war footing, the second is after USA enters the war.

@coachofmany:
Nice.
So how big do you think the map is?much larger than anniversary, and will extend out beyond the standard gencon table. When placed saide by side with europe, it will be fantastic !
-
thanks for the info squire!
-
Yipeee, I cannot wait, that is a big map indeed :-o I am going to go eat a bowl of cereal now cuz I am so excited.
-
- 1 karma to you for the pics, totally beautiful man
does anybody know if there is any Entry of this game at BGG yet ?
-
there was not about an hour ago
-
Notes:
Japan should be at war with the US by turn 3. UK can attack japan earlier (turn 1) but that will not trigger the US at war setting. [You cant just get USA at 50 IPC by attacking with the british]
The russian territories are useless for AAP40 but will be used in the “global” version.
French Indo China is indeed French !
-
Looks like China might finally be big enough to prevent a Japanese invasion into Moscow….
-
No pics of the plastic ? Did you see the new halftracks and dive bombers ?
-
Yea, China’s map seems promising. Let’s hope chinese rules and setup are better than in AA50. Let’s pray at least same level of rules than old AAPacific
Come on, Larry, you can do this time!
I love those neutral mongolians printed on map, and also the Dutch national markers :-)
-

Only the map was available to view.
-
Well, did you try to bribe them ?
Every man has his cost
-
was the board fold out or seperate like AA50?

Larry has a sense of honor. That, or a fat wallet. :-D
