The UK BB’s are different sized as are the USA BB’s.

The 1940 versions are noticeably, but only slightly larger.

The Japanese BB’s are the same sized.

Look at this photo:

@de:

The French position in A&A is starting to remind me of Colonial Diplomacy.

That was the best Diplomacy variant

There were other official ones?

not being allowed to build IC?

As for me playing passively, my strategy is to be done with asia when US enters. I have a bit more of an ANZAC issue this way than when I go all out for the allies, but by neutering the UK and gaining all those IPCs from asia andthe money islands lets me go toe to toe with the US, and I find by forcing him to wait so long to play, makes him antcy to get to it, and thus make mistakes. My record is a bit better than 50% wins, obviously meaning this isnt the be all to end all strat, but it comes down to bad rolls for me means slower push in asia, then I am dead. Only once did I do so poorly that I conceded.

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?

If Japan attacks UK, Anzac, or Us units when not at war she will have to fight all three. If Japan is already at war with UK/Anzac then she can choose to ignore the US units if not already at war with them.

The state of war commences at the beginning of the combat move so Japan will have to engage the war ship first.

Moving the Battleship can help some but if Japan is really determined to get the UK and Anzac ships she will. It should be possible to combine them all with the US fleet by turn 2 though (move from West Us-Pearl turn 1 and then Pearl to Queensland turn 2. So much depends on what Japan choose to do though. It is a little overwhelming at times.

It is especially overwhelming when public enemy number one is not an opposing player but a three year old convinced he is Loki. :P.

Not really a ‘trick’, but inexperienced players seem to miss some crucial sea zone connections around Australia. It’s amazing how quickly the US can get into the DEI through that route.

If you at the Aussie naval base you can hit almost all of the DEI as well as PI and can even land in Burma (!) in one turn! It’s things like that that Allied players miss that give th Japanese a bigger advantage. Once you see those, it’s MUCH harder on Japan IMO.

@SgtBlitz:

@xzorn:

Once the Japanese have all of China and India and Australia, and the Germans and Italians can attack the US, the game is over anyway. Conquering the US is feasible, but it won’t be that deciding factor that turns the tide. The axis will have already gotten the permanent upper hand.

Yes, but this scenario ISN’T possible with the Pacific game, as the US has only ONE FRONT to deal with. There has to be some rule that lets Japan grab as much as she can BEFORE the US enters the war b/c she’ll HAVE to have equal footing for there to be a “fair” game. Otherwise its just fighting against the dice the whole time.

No doubt xzorn was talking about the combined game.

@runyan99:

Regardless, it would be nice if some people would work on a new 1940 setup and ruleset for AA50.

Okay, I elect you.
