@yazoinkergrapft Yes, the United States is allowed to declare war. If it does, the sea zone immediately becomes hostile, as there are enemy surface warships in it. However, since the United States is not declaring war until the Collect Income phase, during the Combat Move, Conduct Combat, and Noncombat Move phases the sea zone is still friendly, so the United States can still occupy it freely. On Japan’s next turn, its units in the sea zone will be starting the turn in an enemy-occupied sea zone, so the normal rules for that situation apply (those units must either move away in combat movement or attack).

@Cow:

As will I.
1941 seems like a good game for what it is. I’ll get that for my students to play during lunch hours.
-
I hope they keep lots of the rules simple in upcoming games. Less exception scenarios etc etc.
-
YES!!! now i can get a copy of europe and pacific 2nd edition…been out of A&A for a while…have to get back into it
-
@CWO:
Has anyone relize the pacific box description there is no COUNTRY UNIT PIECES
Good catch – the second page of the Europe flyer lists 610 plastic miniatures while the second page of the Pacific one makes no mention of miniatures. It also makes no mention of a rulebook, whereas Europe does. Plus there’s the two-boards-versus-one-board part that’s already been pointed out. It looks like whoever at WotC prepared the two flyers did a crummy cutting-pasting-editing job.
Those people ought to be glad they don’t work for me… unlike WotC I value quality control a lot… and tend to get not so amused with all these repeated mistakes.

I wonder if Japan will get it’s own mech inf. russia it’s own art. and transport. I believe after '42 2nd edition and '41 that’s all we need so every nation has it’s very own units. France and China would still be using other countries pieces but each of the 5 major powers would finally have it were they don’t have any overlaps. I am of course assuming by: Includes new Italian miniatures and Includes new ANZAC miniatures mean those 2 get there very own complete armies.
Oh and here’s a point of curiousity: Includes new ANZAC miniatures as well as new mechanized infantry, and anti-aircraft artillery. Includes new Italian miniatures as well as new mechanized infantry, transport, and anti-aircraft artillery pieces. Seems the new Europe comes with new transport but not the new Pacific game. :? And I think it’s safe to assume by Anti-Aircraft Artillery means we get the AAA pieces from '42 2nd edition in this one too, but new mech inf too? that’s alittle odd.
All this questions and more will be answered in 52 days. But I want them now.

Very nice I have been waiting for these to get reprinted for a while but is axis and allies global better then the Europe engulfed and Asia engulfed games (they combine as well)?
-
the engulfed series is a little deeper in scope of play and the rules for both games kind of vary becaseus of european and pacific theaters…to me a & a is the way to go…
-
when are we getting more info on this?
-
hopefully soon…im already counting down the days to these two 2nd edition games

We got the preview of AA 1941 like 1 month before the official release I hope it is going to be like this with those two.
But I don’t even know if Djensen know about the re release because he did not post the flyers on the website front page like he did with 1942 2nd ed and 1941

The 'Engulfed games are certainly great games, but they don’t combine as smoothly as Global does. I like both, but just get to play A&A more.

Is the map actually any bigger than the old one? I just measured my pacific map and it is 35X32

I’m wondering what “the big selling point” is to people that already have global?
-

My question exactly. Other than looking on ebay for some new italian/anzac (if I care), what am I actually getting?
-
I’m thinking they are doing beta rules plus new ANZAC/Italian units and between the two they are hoping the game sells.
-
They’re also reprinting Vegas Showdown, which I think is a fantastic game.
Too bad they sold Fortress America to Fantasy Flight Games.
Anyway, I guess I was on vacation when this broke and I just found out today so here’s the “news” story on the front page: http://www.axisandallies.org/p/pacific-1940-and-europe-1940-second-edition-announced/

Any idea when you will receive your preview copy?
