P40 Rulebook is available for download …

Howdy!
Japan:  Japan has a lot of potential in this game.  They start off with a massive air force and solid navy.  I usually like to attack turn 3 which allows me to have the transports to hit all my objectives.  Turn two is not bad also and turn one can work but I feel three is the best.  Turn four is to long of a wait and by then India has lots of men defending Calcutta.  Two minor IC on the Asian mainland will put China and India out of business.  I like them on Hong Kong and French Indo China.  Until China and India fall, I get two tanks and a mech for both factories.  I also like to add a aircraft carrier a turn for my remaining fighters and I usually post in the Philippines so I get the six kamikiezes and three fighters can also scramble.  Don’t forget to also have a destroyer next to Hawaii! That way USA doesn’t sneak in and surpise you in Japan! I caught my opponent sleeping one time and took Korea with the USA. Subs and destroyers are also good for cannon fotter when you eventually have the big navy clash with the allies.  You will needs transports also because the allies will try to take some of those money islands back to stop your objectives.  When you have only one more VC to go hit Australia.  Establish a beach head and keep the supply line coming and then strike at Sydney! If you played your cards right your navy should still be stronger than the allies and it should be game over for them.

UK:  UK is limited in this game.  I like to buy men and if I’m lucky a mech or artillery.  If Japan hasnt attacked you early then take the money islands.  If Japan hasn’t attacked by round 3, then declare war and get the NO. A AA is also not a bad buy.  Maybe you will get lucky and shoot a few fighters down during the Calcutta battle.  That itself will benefit the other allies, especially the navy.  Anyways, have fun! This is a great game and I still enjoy playing it by itself

i bought p40 and i don’t know what to expect. i want your opinion on p40 too

could i, pretty please, ask that someone scan their own personal copy of the rule book and post it here…. please?
i know their are typos, but i am sure i can still read it with them in it.

@Stoney229:

How about if I create a new thread, which I will link to in the first post of this thread (and highlight the fact that the linked thread contains the most current module).  That way the first post of each thread can be as short-and-sweet as possible, and each thread has a distinct and dedicated topic.

On a separate note (relating to an earlier discussion here), I’m thinking I will be naming the new module “Axis & Allies: Pacific 1940 v3.0”, and the directory P40.gim.  That way, anyone who wishes to keep using the original module only has to rename the original directory (to, for example, P4O.gim) before installing the new one.  Also, when I post updates, I will update the version number accordingly so people will know if their version is up-to-date or not.

If anyone has any objections to either of these, feel free to let me know.  Thanks again!

Sounds good to me, thank you.

We must wait for the Europe map to put Honolulu on the correct bit of land.  Somewhere in South America, isn’t it?  :)

Can you put this download on Mediafire, because frankly to wait 60 seconds and have to listen to some women explain me some sales pitch is a bit daunting.

Mediafire.com is fast and has no hassles.
