Which country is your first choice to play? Which is your last? (exclude France)

I looked it up. Yes, you are right. It only applies to major ICs, so a minor one could indeed be built in Finland.

I’m as gentlemanly as they come, but I’d check-raise my Grandmother if she sat at a poker table with me.

Yes France has to fall turn 1 because otherwise the UK can renforce it. That means more losses turn 2. Its also one less turn Germany has to deal with the UK before America and Russia get into it.

Its like asking “Would it be crazy to leave the UK with a fleet after turn 1?”

Thats also yes…might as well conceede the game at that point.

These sound like really neat house rules. If the allies seem to win too many games over here we will probably use them. Potentially turning all of north africa over to the germans.

Tons of fun stuff with the french. Imagine the germans being able to move french soldiers around africa but the french turn back allied first time normany is landed in!

I play a bit of War At Sea as well. Reading the back of the french cards is entertaining. Ships escaping port and german capture with unfinished guns. Ships firing at americans landing in africa.

Heck, am i remembering right that the british landed in madagascar to liberate it from the french? Wasnt the HMS Barham or the Ramilles or some other old battleship there?

I’ve said it many times, by why not do it again! :-D

@WILD:

By the way Calvin, Larry has been very active on your thread on his site titled “Balancing Pacific 1940” thought you should know. Check it out, he is ranking suggestions for possible changes to Pac40.

(Sorry to side track this thread)

I know. It started with 1-2 pages. A few weeks later, 15 pages

@munchie19:

unfortunately my group only includes myself at the moment.

No one should play alone. If i could id donate 4 people in m group to you cuz my group is 9. then id have 5 and youd have 5.

Yeah, that’s sad. Where do you live Munchie?

@lnmajor:

by the way,
reading all the posts on french territorys in africa. all great ideas, with bases in dakar andsub bases in madagascar, but how in the world can they fit those places in on the upcomming AAE40 and keep it in scale with the AAP40 map? somebody explain how this can possibily work.

I am sure they made both maps before they released Pacific or at least had a good idea of what it was going to look like.
