Help Us Get TripleA running the '40 Ruleset

Thank you for the clarification. :)

i like to play pacific 1940 2nd ed with my friend a lot but he always kicks my ass as the allies. both of us have the same amount of experience in the game having played pacific against each other about 3 times. every time i get bogged down in china due to the massive amounts of Chinese infantry, my navy gets destroyed by Americas in every single operation and and by the time uk gets to china and the anzac starts island hopping, its over. does anyone have any tips or strategy i could try out to help me or maybe a video that could explain how exactly i could try to pull off a victory? thanks :)

@jim010:

He will lobby?  So he does not have a hand in deciding this?

From what I understand, Larry is the creative mind behind AA but it is WOTC that puts up the money and capital to print and distribute the game. He is essentially contracted by WOTC (or otherwise sells his idea) and they take it and run with it.

Obviously he has significant influence on the final product but because he doesnt own the company that’s making all the profit he doesn’t make the final call.

I’m sure if Larry had his way we would have paper money… and maybe some variation of Alpha.

It does!  Thanks for the rulebook notes.  Makes taking Japan that much harder, little OP’ing… but it is 4 on 1.

@Wilson2:

The Canadian roundels are just for aesthetics - Larry said so.

Went thru the Global facts thread and I can’t see him saying that they’re only there for looks.

@Uncle_Joe:

on a related note, I certanly hope the UK is one territory in Europe 1940. So they can scramble to protect it just as japan does

That would mean that Britain could only touch one sea zone (unless they want to make an exception rule) and would almost completely rule out any possibility of a German naval attack or Sea Lion attack.

It would probably make it too easy to build up and invasion force to clobber Germany since the US can just stack up planes in England and they can defend the entire Brit fleet as well.

Not sure I’d like that…

I would have to agree.
