Its worth getting cause when AAE40 comes out you will want both to play the combined game. Also the introduction of new rules and units (convoys, declaration of war, air base, naval base, tactical bomber, mechanized infantry) make the game far more enjoyable and adds more depth and breadth to the series, further setting it apart from other board games.

“It is my understanding that my publisher (Wizards of the Coast) will allow me to present a AAP50 map a Gen Con, this week. If so I’ll ask them if I can present the map here sometime after the convention.” - Larry Harris

Larry was getting opinions on whether cruisers should have aa guns, which brought many opinions of course…

you want more applauds ?

I recall inventing the 6 IPC tank not too long ago, along with the 1-2-2-4 “Motorized Infantry” (Trucks for when I get my new FMG pieces. :-D Half-Tracks will be IL’s 2-2-2 Mech inf, only at 5 IPCs). Larry has it called “Mechanized Infantry” with Half-Tracks…merely a corrupt mingling of two great ideas…sulking.

What tanks cost 6 now? I got used to it being 3/3/5 from 3/2/5 and now it cost 6? Is it still 3/3?

Cost was raised to encourage players to buy more diverse land forces.
Personally I found that the best way to encourage player to buy mixed land forces is to create a new unit thats 2-2-2-4 and can carry either an infantry or artillery but can’t blitz. I called this unit a “Mechanized Division”. All other units were kept at the same price. With this configuration land purchases became more interesting and almost always included 3-4 land unit types for germany (and also for russia and japan).

I was playing with a piece like that in 1986.

Siam is completely surrounded…
-
-
language! Anyway just look at the map. there is one japanese territory worth one IPC completely surrounded. I think its siam. its hard to read it.
-
Yep, it’s definitely Siam and it is surrounded but it has a sea zone for an escape.
