Just Keep Churning Em Out, WoTC, Hasbro

Darn….

eww whats up with larrys obsession with bulls-eyes? first britian…then italy…now france too?

Saves money on artwork.

Yeah i guess…the global game is going to look like a multi-colored archery range with all the bulls-eye possibilities…

Any idea how the maps are supposed to be played together?  Are all the territories and sea zones represented?

I seem to remember people trying to put Europe and Pacific the first time?

Until we see a map of Europe we really won’t know. I’ve thought about trying to put together AAE and AAP, I think I might go and have another look at it.

Lay them side by side just like it was a 2 piece gameboard.

Yes.

i’ve seen a map strip to print out to go between the boards to join them in Eurasia, but I think it’s easier to join them with the US in the middle.

Hmmm, interesting. I never thought about joining them that way.

I meant to ask, will the map join together nicely without any disjointed territories or sea zones.

Is it going to be like a puzzle with perfect fit?

We dont know yet. The europe board is still being playtested. We will probably be able to figure it out once pacifc comes out

If the games are planned to be joined, I am sure they will match up along corresponding edges.

Yeah that has to be the case.

@Imperious:

I think they did with AA50, but i am not sure what happened because i don’t use that program

First +1 I owed you. :-)

A +1 for repaying old debts

@Panzer:

One of the new adders for the AA50 that I really like that did kinda address the “unrealisticness” of ther game compared to real history is the addition of the victory cities. With them you do not actually have to attack all out everywhere, you can selectively attack the victory cities and win that way. It also shortens the game because it does not go until one side is gone. We beat the Axis in 41 set-up as the Allies because Japan went too far into Russia and the US and UK came in from below and took the victory cities in Asia and won before Japan could counter in time. Japan was pissed because they actually had way more troops but overlooked their rear defenses, thinking they were safe. :lol:

So Japan can be vulnerable if they over extend themselves into Russia. It is up to the Allies to read the strategy and counter to smarten Japan up.

Exactly. The only way Japan can usually threaten Russia is when the Allies let them do it. No new rules need to be written in order to prevent Japan from invading Moscow, your game play should do that.

Past due +1 for that vote of agreement. Thanks :-)

If USA is busy with Japan, then Germany can get busy with Russia.

If USA is not busy with Japan, Japan will be busy with USSR and maybe even with USA

Japan is a busybody!

USA must threaten Japan and Germany.
