Misprint for United Kingdom in A&A Pacific 1940

@clamoxyl Welcome to the forum.

Have you looked at https://boardgamegeek.com/ ?
Good luck.

@The-General-0 said in What are the basic strategies of Axis and Allies Pacific 1940?:

… it appears that Honolulu does not appear in the rulebook as a victory city that is able to be captured. Unusually, it appears on the board. Is this historical significance, or is it merely a mistake or simply decoration or literally a victory city?

You must have quite an old print. Maybe download the latest versions of the rulebooks from

Yes, Honolulu is a victory city.

Thanks guys for helping out. A couple weeks a ago I contacted WOTC with my issue and I didn’t know if I was crazy or not; however, they keep asking for more pictures of my board and the rule book, a link to their own FAQ is surely heading their way.
Thanks for all of your assistance! :relaxed:

@AmpsterMan:

I thought that you just counted the SZ next to where you were taking off from, didn’t know attacking counted as a move. Lol, I think that one rule interpretation might have changed a bit of how the game went….

Thanks for the update  :-D

And in case you were wondering, he attacked me in Alaska on turn 4, I repelled him turn 6, by turn nine I had every territory I originally had back in my hands. I was going to win.

We are going to play a game tonight (hopefully) I’ll have to reread the rulebook to make sure I don’t make anymore errors.

In any case, it seems to me that the only reason I won was because I was able to get all of my NO’s where as he didn’t get any. He also didn’t put enough boots on the ground methinks. Am excited to see how tonights game goes on. Thanks for the replys Calvinhobbesliker!

Even if you did that, that’s still 8 moves. Bomber from airbase only gets 7.

Anyway, you’re welcome

Hm interesting because both my wife and I read the rule book, and both interpreted that part the same way.  Guess we need to read it again.

Yes, Air and ground units can kill each other.  You have to understand that an Infantry unit contains infantry and all the support units that go with it.  Some of the support units will include AA units.  Axis and Allies is set up to be a big picture view of the war, not as much detail as you might imagine.  I can understand why it becomes confusing when we have artillery, armor and infantry represented seperately.  In earlier games, we didn’t have arty and it was understood they were part of the other manuver units.

Enjoy the game!

just like in real life
that’s what i like in this game: you’ll have same discussions of 1940 as in reality

i have read a book about it, some were pro war 1940, some 1941, some pro war China, some pro war USSR

each case: it has its advantages, but disadvantages.
only depends if there are more pro’s than con’s

I have heard people say they use major and minor IC’s in house rules. They just use 2 IC’s (maybe glue together) for major, and 1 IC for minor. We all have extra pieces to do it.
