Axis & Allies Pacific 1940 2nd - Important Notes & Setup Charts

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.

Midnight Express had done about 10 variants. Look in House Rules. You might have some luck. Or PM him.

I don’t see how Japan could ever loose unless the dice are god aweful. With Russia not there as a threat and US making significantly less money in the pacific. How does Japan loose, even with the new Alpha 3 setup?

Wow, so in alpha you just have to use the NO’s to boost US economy?

You can only build them on your own territories (that you have controlled since the beginning of your turn).

@GrizzlyMan:

As Japan, that American 30 IPC bonus is a pretty big deterrant, especially considering that their income is already in the 50’s before it’s added. I think that the German and Japanese players are going to have to have a discussion before the start of the game as to when to awaken the sleeping giant. From what it seems to me, Germany will benefit hugely from keeping US and USSR out, while Japan wants them in as soon as possible.

The US bonus is 40 IPC.

White has an advantage in chess, too.  Doesn’t make it a crappy game.

However, a chess board where squares connected to squares they weren’t supposed to?  And only comes with thirteen pawns?  That’s kinda crappy.
