AAP40 FAQ

@Funcioneta:

It’s a Pacific game, so I’m pretty sure that we can live without one more game where USSR and Japan start the game at war

I say no to this idea: USSR should not be part of AAP40. Larry’s fix is the way to go: giving more power to China, India and ANZAC, and specially deleting a bunch of japanese planes

The question is if that fix is going to pass to the global game

Larry’s setup is better, but still in Japan’s favor. I think kungfujew’s changes are better: They stop the J3 India Crush and really beef up China, which means that japan must use 1 transport J1 to transport troops to China.

Ok
US turn 2
Japan isn’t at war with anyone, except China.
Japan has a transport in SZ 6, with no warships
The US moves their sub into this sea zone

Japan turn 3, they declare war
Does the US sub get to shoot immediately?
Does it get to shoot, if Japan attempts to move the transport?
Can Japan move a surface warship into the sea zone, stop the attack, then load and move the transport?

@allboxcars:

(Wow I just spent way too long with 50x errors!!)
Anyway, I was thinking some UK player might to trigger a Japanese DOW.

…and just trying to proof the FAQ. Bad habit’s die hard.

You can’t trigger war or make someone else trigger war. War is declared at the start of your movement phase.

If the UK and Japan aren’t at war, the UK is free to move unescorted transports through sea zones containing Japanese subs.

Granted.
I was just trying to point things out tactfully.

I have a negative comment on your comment about negativity, but this time I will keep my comment to myself. :-D

No they are orange, my camera just isn’t up to snuff, but it seems like I have more ANZAC pieces then US.

Nice job on the reviews dj.

That’s workable. Anything would be better then 1 DD see’s everything right out of the box. You could even house rule something like that into AA50, just make it part of the radar tech. 1 for 1 until you get advanced radar(tech) then 1 DD see’s all subs. Its even kinda how the radar tech works. You fire AA guns @ 1 until you develop radar giving your AA guns a kill @ 2. Early in the game subs could easily out number DD’s, but you would still get limited detection. I might have to try this next game.

This would also work when air units & DD attack subs. Matched up 1 for 1. Excess subs would be allowed to submerge, unless the power w/DD & air units also has radar. At that point subs could not submerge til the DD is destroyed, just how it is now

Come on give subs more bite! :evil:

I wasn’t trying to be funny. :-D
