@The-General-0 said in What are the basic strategies of Axis and Allies Pacific 1940?:

… it appears that Honolulu does not appear in the rulebook as a victory city that is able to be captured. Unusually, it appears on the board. Is this historical significance, or is it merely a mistake or simply decoration or literally a victory city?

You must have quite an old print. Maybe download the latest versions of the rulebooks from

Yes, Honolulu is a victory city.

@Rammstein:

Does this mean that ANZAC can “take” the territory with Fighters? Or it can simply land them there for defense and the territory remains Dutch? For that matter, must UK and ANZAC be at war with Japan in order to “take” the Dutch territories at all?

They must use land units to take the territory and they don’t have to be at war to do so

When should Japan make war with the other Allies?

@GrizzlyMan:

As Japan, that American 30 IPC bonus is a pretty big deterrant, especially considering that their income is already in the 50’s before it’s added. I think that the German and Japanese players are going to have to have a discussion before the start of the game as to when to awaken the sleeping giant. From what it seems to me, Germany will benefit hugely from keeping US and USSR out, while Japan wants them in as soon as possible.

The US bonus is 40 IPC.

My thinking is as a separate game this setup is flawed, but I’m betting anything that the Global game (the one we are all going to play from here on out for the most part) is pretty balanced with the addition of all those Russian infantry to the North of Manchuria. Something tells me that India crush strategy will take a beating.

Nevermind - the answer is on pg. 16. Looks like attacking air units can either be chosen to defend against the scramble (i.e. participate in the sea battle), or can ignore the scramble and assist in the amphib assault - but cannot do both.

Use the old Red Japanese A&AP Infantry for that - or potentially the old Yellow Japanese Infantry from A&A 2nd Edition.

Sounds like a good idea - care to post the full rule?

Razor is a personality that Aldertag likes to use. It’s a Sybil thing.

Who is this Aldertag I seem to hear so much about?
