AAP40 at GenCon

@Funcioneta:

It’s a Pacific game, so I’m pretty sure that we can live without one more game where USSR and Japan start the game at war

I say no to this idea: USSR should not be part of AAP40. Larry’s fix is the way to go: giving more power to China, India and ANZAC, and specially deleting a bunch of japanese planes

The question is if that fix is going to pass to the global game

Larry’s setup is better, but still in Japan’s favor. I think kungfujew’s changes are better: They stop the J3 India Crush and really beef up China, which means that japan must use 1 transport J1 to transport troops to China.

I greatly appreciate you efforts here.  I think you should post these over at www.boardgamegeek.com.  Others have made charts like these; but these are by far the best I’ve seen so far.

Many thanks to help out with the subpar performance of WotC!

p.s. I will no longer be buying WotC games due to the lack of quality.

@Craig:

My towers speak for themselves.

Definitely Craig’s towers are beautiful!  Take a look at them for sure!

These towers that I created are only version 1.0 and I would like to try to sell version 2.0 of my towers but I still need to work some things out.

I have seen it very very even.  I played two games and I am 2-0, one with allies and one with Japan.  Both against very good but not spectacular opponents (Im not great but I can be creative and level headed).  The games were slugmatches from the very beginning. 
Both games were won and lost in China and the victor was able to play a better game of cat and mouse with their American/Japanese navy.  Its probably the best and most balanced axis and allies expierence I have had.

Its this kind of developer support to the fans that will keep me with A&A year after year. If only other game companies would take the time to do something as simple as a statement like this then table top gaming would be in such a better place. Thank you for taking the time to be so candid and considerate to your fans Larry.

I also got a mail that my copy will arrive the 18th. I live in the Netherlands.

Nice job on the reviews dj.

That’s workable. Anything would be better then 1 DD see’s everything right out of the box. You could even house rule something like that into AA50, just make it part of the radar tech. 1 for 1 until you get advanced radar(tech) then 1 DD see’s all subs. Its even kinda how the radar tech works. You fire AA guns @ 1 until you develop radar giving your AA guns a kill @ 2. Early in the game subs could easily out number DD’s, but you would still get limited detection. I might have to try this next game.

This would also work when air units & DD attack subs. Matched up 1 for 1. Excess subs would be allowed to submerge, unless the power w/DD & air units also has radar. At that point subs could not submerge til the DD is destroyed, just how it is now

Come on give subs more bite! :evil:
