I could not post Tac pics because they were too large to attach.

I apologize for the map pics quality. To make up for it…here is Velvet Sky…

Thank you anyway.
Is the Tac single engined and not the Stuka?
Plane and tank fanatic here.

From what I can see in the photo of the left-side board (the one running from Alberta to South America), the western edge of the world map is unchanged from the first edition.  So there are no changes to the wraparound connectivity (or rather the lack of wraparound connectivity) between the Europe and Pacific maps on the west coast of North America.

And it’s astonishing that her, um, file size was smaller than the one for the tac bombers.

If she did I’d be playing it 24/7.

Looks as though the Quebec/new Brunswick/ eastern us boundary wasn’t corrected. I suspect that means we shouldn’t hold our breath for any map corrections on the pacific side. So disappointing. Especially when it would be so easy to do with the original files.

You should check the bomb bay as well.

Since she’s more of a bombshell than a bomber, so she would qualify as payload rather than as an aircraft.

How am I going to make do with ONLY 2 engines?

I am so used to four…

The national production marker along the top makes no sense to include in this game…  either it’s correct for pacific (and incorrect for global - adding 40 to each - simple enough but a visual flub) or correct for global and incorrect for pacific game.  It’s as unnecessary as including the 50 on west US in the 1st edition when it would have no meaning for the global game (please be gone, please be gone, please be gone).

But at least this time they didn’t print the markers for starting income, so if someone miscounted on the setup boxes/board ala 41 and 42, it’s not permanently wrong on the board.

[hkytown1]

Bummer,  same crappy European country boarders.

Thanks again for the pics squire.

[Gargantua]

Maybe things will improve in the THIRD edition… lol.

We might not be too impressed, but consider comparing 2nd edition, to 1st edition OOB…

The alpha changes change EVERYTHING about the game!  We should be greatful it made it to print.

[hkytown1]

Yes. I am very gratefull considering I missed out on the first editions.

[Gargantua]

Well if you decide to change your mind, a good friend of mine selling her first edition - pictured below.

I agree that its a visual flub.  Completely glaring on 1941 and E40.2. I’m still hoping (delusionally I might add) that the Pacific chart starts off at 41 and goes to 80. I think that would be better than 2 charts going each going to 40. Or worse yet a Pacific chart that is 2 rows deep to get to USA’s at war income.

Charts suck.  Money is better.
