New Battle Strip

Sometimes it can get a little confusing in island sea zones which units are in the sea zone and which are on the island.  The statement is intended to make sure the attacker indicates which air units are which, since they can in many cases get to either space.

OK thanks for the help!

Hi guys

Im pretty new to the scene and had thoughts of trying it out but need advice. Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Use the old Red Japanese A&AP Infantry for that - or potentially the old Yellow Japanese Infantry from A&A 2nd Edition.

Sounds like a good idea - care to post the full rule?

I will do the same:

Since I’m the one that pointed out a lot of threads were ending in WOTC bashing with no real plan of action, I feel I should comment.

I support what MaherC is saying here. I didn’t have to resort to calling to get my tacs, but apparently the rest of us do. I’ve had multiple cases of having to ask for defective or missing pieces to be replaced by WOTC so maybe that’s why I was treated differently, I don’t know. I’m glad to see we are starting to take a united stand on what we believe in:

1. The game did not live up to previous PRODUCTION standards.
2. We don’t blame Krieg or Larry for PRODUCTION problems.
3. We need to continue to support each other to help maintain the standard we expect from WOTC in the games we buy and play.

Kreig, Larry, and the others are hard at work sorting this out. We must have faith in them that we will get the game back to what Larry wanted it to be. Remember, this isn’t some video game you’ll be bored with next week. We all bought this as an intellectual investment to enjoy for years. And we will if we just give them the time to work out the details of the new problems that have come up. In the meantime, I too believe the focus should be on the tangible quality problems that WOTC has caused in production and leave the rules stuff to sorted out correctly, not quickly.

Just curious, did Japan land on Australia or simply threatened to? What moves were made?

@RJL518:

The one thing i love about Pacific 1940 is that the map is very versatile…has anyone come up with some new starting points for Pacific 1940?  Such as a setup for a 1941 scenario with the Japanese offensives in the Pacific or a 1942 starting point with Japan at it’s height and the Allies have to strike back and take back what was theirs?

Let me know…this game is very versatile…

Personally, I’d be interested in a version similar to the original AAP where Pearl was setup first turn (and perhaps even that attack defender rolls at one) as other than unit setup the territory changes aren’t substantially different so it would be interesting to see play out.  However, the actual territories that Japan had conquered at that point were not substantially different in 42 other than the island colonies.  Basically, You’re always going to have crush china, and if the Allies are setup to strike back in 42 Japan might be in some serious trouble cause they still haven’t made any progress in Japan (they clearly fought worse than the TripleA AI).  If the game is in fact balanced in 1940, trying to balance it in 42 but still reflecting Japan’s successes and the Allies as ready to strike back, I’d imagine Japan would lose very quickly.

@Craig:

My towers speak for themselves.

Definitely Craig’s towers are beautiful!  Take a look at them for sure!

These towers that I created are only version 1.0 and I would like to try to sell version 2.0 of my towers but I still need to work some things out.
