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.
Pacific 1940 review copy has arrived

I love the naval and airfield chips
I suppose they could also be used to designate naval and airborne infantry for house rules
-
Why are they using gray pieces? Gray is for Germany.

I think we have come to the consensus that ANZAC is “pewter” and Germany is a very dark grey or black
-
Anything official from djensen on this?
-
In Axis & Allies Pacific 1940, the light gray pieces are ANZAC.
I don’t have a copy of AAE40 yet so I don’t know what color Germany will be. But in AA42, Germany is dark gray. I would also speculate that Germany will be dark gray. It should be very easy to differentiate them.

Thank you djensen as I was worried about the FMG dice.
-
The ANZAC pieces are actually a little more brown than they come across in these photos. The official color is “dark tan”, but they look taupe to me.

That would make more sense.

I heard China can build artillery with the Burma Road. Are US artillery used for that purpose?
-
I too was wondering about this… is it like the old Pacific edition in regard to the Burma Road rule? Is it just artillery they can build? (which makes sense)
-
The Burma Road being open only allows the building of artillery (nothing else), and US artillery pieces are used.
-
Thanks :-D
-
Can you post a high res picture of the map?
Thanks in advance.

Now 4 different nations will use the same artillery mold, propably 5 with France, and yet WOTC used a lot of money on a specific Russian battleship mold, and russian cruiser mold, and russian destroyer mold, none of witch will be used in any future game. Go figure.

yes this is a good point. What a folly!
The artillery should have been fixed and the french given a few items other than infantry as their unique sculpts
Anzac should have been unique infantry too.

Once again, thank goodness for FMG

Was thinking the same - though Pacific looks/sounds great in many ways… I think many elements to do with the minis blow. Will the Royal Navy ever get their own sculpts? (but Russian did? Nice ships - don’t get me wrong… but they never see the board). Glad FMG is here to help me properly trick out the game.

It seems china is still very week and Japan is able to aquire on unrealistic amount of IPCs.
It still looks fun though.
