Its worth getting cause when AAE40 comes out you will want both to play the combined game. Also the introduction of new rules and units (convoys, declaration of war, air base, naval base, tactical bomber, mechanized infantry) make the game far more enjoyable and adds more depth and breadth to the series, further setting it apart from other board games.

Hi!
I’m playing the old pacific1940(not the 2nd edition). What are the current rules and setup for it? I remember there being something like alpha 2.0 at some point, but it probably isn’t the newest.
The current rules and setup for Pacific 1940 (1st) are those of the 2nd Edition (as for Europe1940/Global). The “alpha-rules” years ago were steps in the development from the 1st to the 2nd edition.
Don’t those contain stuff like the anti-air units, which aren’t in the original game?
Those rules have changed from first to second edition, indeed. But you can play 2nd edition rules with the first edition units/gameboard.
Okhay thanks, where can I find the unit setups for the current version?
