Pacific 1940 2nd Edition

Bummer, I think Jonas got spooked by some spam.

Hi Folks,
if I had to choose, I would always decide my self for the Pacific. I prefere the huge naval/air battles over the large clashes of tanks in Russia or the battle for the Atlantic. And with the scale of A&A, the engagements between the German Africa Corps and the British 8th Army are merely a sideshow.
Greetings,
Lars

@FieldMarshalGames:

Has there been any confirmation of this as LIMITED EDITION?  A customer e-mailed me and asked:

“I have heard that Wizards of the Coast sent out a letter to all the retailers stating that AAP40 is going to be a limited print edition and that they are working on a smaller scale Pacific game similar to AA42.  Is there any truth to this?”

I didn’t get this Memo!

That would be lame.  I’ve bought two copies - for extra pieces cause they never give you enough :x
I’m thinking about buying a third one though because of this.  I’m glad that I bought 2 AA50 games last year.

@Vareel:

I don’t think i’m explaining properly.  There should be convoy zones to represent what goes from the US to the UK/Russia.  If G attacks those convoy zones only, it would start war.  I think that is how it should be.  Obviously there should be other convoy zones as well, at least for the UK.

I suppose it depends how they do lend/lease but I’d prefer it not be a simply free cash objective for Britain/Russia (where’s the lending part in that).  What I’d like to see is a lend/lease that’s not a 1:1 gain for Britain and Russia.  The US can designate some number of IPCs to Russia and/or Britain (say 12) and they get half that amount (6 to the banker).  This has a sense of depreciated value and inflated cost (hey, the US is capitalist) to that “lease” from the US and doesn’t punish the axis as much trying to balance Russia & Britain’s economy vs Germany’s which could be unfairly skewed as Russia and Britain get free loot at minimal expense to the US.  And that could be designated in as a different type of convoy zone, perhaps only near the US coast, which would mean the Germans would have to go way past the Channel to stop it, if they even wanted to.  It has the benefit of immediately helping Russia and Britain in a pinch, but if they can hold out the US can send more in US units, which I think would be a more balanced way to send help to an ally.

That way it’s not quite the same as the established convoy zone, because Russia and Britain can’t GET cash from US territory obviously (nor should they)and there would need to be convoy zones for britain that are wholly independent from the lend lease zones you speak of.

Yeah the 68th anniversary of the sneak attack

great pix craig.  nice to put faces with the names.  +1 to you.
