Will the Atlantic and Pacific in AA40 Global be balanced

[Guest]

I think that Larry’s goal has been to create all of his games balanced.

[maverick_76]

Agreed, at first we might not see it but after lots of playing we know that all the games he has created are balanced but do take some thinking to get to that point.

[Guest]

If it is not balanced, then there is always bidding.

guys His last three havve been pretty good, why would his next two be bad? I think this has the potential to be his best yet! Although a 1939 edition is probably larrys next target!

[Guest]

I would like a 1914 version as well.

eww world war one? thres no tanks, subs, OR bombers in WWI just chemical warfare…

[Guest]

There were tanks at the end of the war.
Subs have been around since the American Civil War.
And bombs were dropped from planes and zeppelins in WWI

[idk_iam_swiss]

those are all uniqe exceptions and not the rule. look I like the idea. I just dont think it would make for fun gameplay

[Guest]

Try the Great War from Triple A and then say that.

[maverick_76]

WWI would be fun but WWII was truly a global war, WWI was mostly fought in Europe while WWII was all over the world.

[Guest]

Just give me a mapboard and plastic military pieces and I am happy.

[maverick_76]

I could send you cardboard and pebbles of different colors and sizes, would that work?

[Guest]

I dont think so. :-D

[maverick_76]

ROFL  :-o

[Guest]

Maybe I could use those for Chinese Checkers

@Brain:

And I too would like the us to be have 2 incomes one for the Pacific and one for the Atlantic theatres.

I think forcing the USA to split the incomes would go against what I think Larry Harris A&A Idea is… I think the official rules will let you combine the US money in some way… USA money is USA money. I do think the game play won’t give you much wiggle room to shift all the income one way or another.

[Guest]

You could be right.

@Upside-down_Turtle:

I don’t think US will need to “mix” income.  We know Western US is 10 and 50.  We can postulate the Eastern US will be 12 and 60.  That’s 110, + Central US (6) + Alasks (2) + Hawaii (1) + Mexico (2) + Brazil (3) + Cuba (1) + Phillipiness [typo?] (2) + Pannama (1) = 128 IPCs!!! Forget KGF or KJF, it’s Kill Everyone First!!!

everybody will have huge ammounts of IPC
but i think in earlier games USA is overrated with militairy force and underrated in terms of IPC
