Now we have our game running. This is what I did:

I mailed him the first turn and explained how to start the game. He then made his turn and started to play a solo game. I will also send him turn two and three and hope that will show him how the game works. Afterall he still has to move the units and conduct combat. Until now it works quite well.

Are you sure , that you do not have a tweeny-weeny doubt nibbling in the back of your mind … maybe he has it?!

I was reluctant at first, because thought it’ll affect my move… but on reflection… there is another smaller, better and niftier way to deal with that. Hence wrote what i did.

Did take into account “Cow”'s fantastic - J1 offense. In fact, to be honest it was my biggest challenge to overcome. OK.

Happy thinking :evil:

Hi Stormtrooper,

Thanks for the compliment, glad you liked them.

They are supposed to be printed on A6 (quarter of A4), although they are designed on A5. But that was for convenience during the process of creating them.

There are some minor errors though, which I will be correcting:
The German title Oberfellherr is non-existent and will be changed to Feldmarschall or Generalfeldmarschall, depends on the length of the line. The 6 IPC text of the Chinese NO has the same color as 5 IPC text on other cards. Some pictures are strechted to the edges of the paper and have to be aligned to the maximum margins and the white border has to be cut off.
BTW use them anyway you like, the original files are included as well (www#mediafire#com/download/zcjf495wirizjrb/A&A_NO_odt.tar.gz and again replace # with .)

First of all, I think it’s funny that “(pg. ‘eight’)” looks like “(pg. 8-)” LOL. And it looks like Bob posted the same thing a me a few seconds earlier!

@WARRIOR888:

Did any other scuplts change in the Pacific 1940 Second Edition besides the ones mentioned already?Â

I finished inspecting the new Global sculpts last weekend and here are the main differences I was able to spot between old and new versions of sculpts which are supposed to represent the same model of equipment. I took a few pictures (see below) to go with these notes. (I haven’t noted cases in which some of the details on the sculpts are simply defined a little better in one version than in another, without being different in actual shape.) Most of the differences involve sculpts which were introduced in 1942 (2nd ed) game, and which were then replaced by revised sculpts in the Global 1940 (2nd ed) game.

Artillery: 105mm LeFH 18 howitzer (German)
Introduced in 1942 (2nd ed), in which the breech and the undercarriage are connected. In the 1940 (2nd ed) version, there is a gap between them.
Antiaircraft Gun: 3.7in QFAA (British)
Introduced in 1942 (2nd ed). In the 1940 (2nd ed) version, there is an additional structure underneath the thick lower part of the barrel assembly, at the point where it connects to the mounting.
Antiaircraft Gun: M1939 85mm (Russian)
Introduced in 1942 (2nd ed), in which the gun ends with a flared muzzle brake. In the 1940 (2nd ed) version, the barrel is more slender and ends with grooves running around the barrel tip.
Antiaircraft Gun: 88mm FLAK 41 (German)
Introduced in 1942 (2nd ed), in which a spur extends backward from the base of the breech, the horizontal element projecting forward from the front of the mounting is cylindrical, and two of the mounting’s legs are thicker than the other two. In the 1940 (2nd ed) version, the breech is shorter, the horizontal element projecting forward from the front of the mounting is oval, and the mounting’s four legs are the same thickness.
Antiaircraft Gun: 75mm Type 88 (Japanese)
Introduced in 1942 (2nd ed), in which the mounting’s four legs are thicker than in the 1940 (2nd ed) version.
Cruiser: Kent class (British)
Introduced in Anniversary. In the 1940 (2nd ed) version, the third funnel is short instead of being the same height at the other two.

I’m not so sure about the new convoy raiding rules. It was kind of nice to have a set amount, something you could count on each round as long as your submarines or warships survived to attack the convoys. However, the new system does present the possibility of getting much more damage per ship (6 per sub and 3 per warship) plus it lets carrier planes get involved too. I will be interested to try them out in my next game and see how they work.

@Maddog77:

What’s w/ all the whining going on about the “new” tank rule? It’s not a new one either. 3-2-2-5 is the “old” rule since the game was marketed in the early '80s. It’s only a buck more now. Big deal. Simmer down folks and relize it’s only a game. Getting you panties all bunched up and calliing names is pretty lame and infantile. Do some of you need a time out? Or do I have to get the belt out? :-D

As far as the “rule” goes, I like the current 3-3-2-6. Only for the defense factor. But when I play the original, it’s 3-2-2-5. So I don’t rely on tanks for defense as much as I do a stack of Infantry.

Amazing! when tanks defend at three I use them for defense
when tanks defend at two I use infantry for defense
