Whats the best place to pre-order A&A Pacific 1940?

@the-general-0 Trust me, you’re going to want to go forward rather than backward. The 2nd edition rules and setup for Europe can be found on the downloads page. There were no changes to the Europe map in the 2nd edtion.

@the_good_captain

Indeed. Actually you need the errata in case you own an older/outdated print of the second edition rulebook. But in that case you are fine with updating the rulebook itself.

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

Someone will make a larger Map if the 1940 Europe game does not have  big enough territories to hold pcs.
The crunch has occured in Europe in the past

Yes, this is my concern as well. But no worries. As we have seen in the past, if there is a big enough issue with TT size and enough people complain, our talented artists here at AA.org will produce some beautiful jumbo maps for us to print out and all will be right with the universe.

You talented folks know who you are  :wink:

@fanofbond:

Can a jap transport move through an allied controlled seazone?
While i’m on the subject of questions can us planes land in either Anzac or uk  territories before the dow.

If Japan is at war with any of the allies in the sea zone, and there’s a ship that you can’t ignore, then the answer is no.

If Japan is not at war with any of the allies in the sea zone, but will be by the end of Japan’s turn, and there’s a ship that you can’t ignore, then the answer is no.

Japan can move past allies it is not at war with, to attack allies it is at war with, provided none of Japan’s moves will result in war with the moved through power.

The answer to your second question is no. US planes can only land in US territories or on US Carriers, when it is not at war.

Attached are 6 PDF screen shots - my setup in pictures.

@xzorn:

Once the Japanese have all of China and India and Australia, and the Germans and Italians can attack the US, the game is over anyway. Conquering the US is feasible, but it won’t be that deciding factor that turns the tide. The axis will have already gotten the permanent upper hand.

Yes, but this scenario ISN’T possible with the Pacific game, as the US has only ONE FRONT to deal with.  There has to be some rule that lets Japan grab as much as she can BEFORE the US enters the war b/c she’ll HAVE to have equal footing for there to be a “fair” game.  Otherwise its just fighting against the dice the whole time.

No doubt xzorn was talking about the combined game.

@runyan99:

Regardless, it would be nice if some people would work on a new 1940 setup and ruleset for AA50.

Okay, I elect you.
