I don’t have AAP 1940 SE, but I’ve been looking at the pdf of the SE edition to see what changed from the first. Looking at the AAP SE changes vs. Global SE I notice the UK Pacific starting income is 16 rather than 17 for Global. This is due to the transfer of West India’s income to the Pacific and the North American UK territories are part of the European UK. (You probably already have this correctly entered for your map, but it is worth noting for those who are trying to reconstruct AAP 1940 SE using a first edition box and the Europe Global SE rules/box.)
First game of Pacific
-
The shortest path to Hawaii from japan and back is Japan-Z6-Z16-Z25(not 29)-Z26-Hawaii(You need one move to attack the island itself-Z26-Z30-Z32-Marshalls. That’s 9 moves. Maybe you thought you only needed to get to Z26 to attack Hawaii?

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
