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

Hey Major,

I’m in EST. I can play almost anytime since I’m retired. Just let me know when you’re available and we can get going.

Yes, my bad.  I was mixing in with the Global rules by mistake.

Actually it’s even worse than that if your Canadian considering “Britsh Columbia” and "Yukon Territory merged into “Western Canada”. Of course gameplay is affected little to zilch by this revision.

@AmpsterMan:

I thought that you just counted the SZ next to where you were taking off from, didn’t know attacking counted as a move. Lol, I think that one rule interpretation might have changed a bit of how the game went….

Thanks for the update  :-D

And in case you were wondering, he attacked me in Alaska on turn 4, I repelled him turn 6, by turn nine I had every territory I originally had back in my hands. I was going to win.

We are going to play a game tonight (hopefully) I’ll have to reread the rulebook to make sure I don’t make anymore errors.

In any case, it seems to me that the only reason I won was because I was able to get all of my NO’s where as he didn’t get any. He also didn’t put enough boots on the ground methinks. Am excited to see how tonights game goes on. Thanks for the replys Calvinhobbesliker!

Even if you did that, that’s still 8 moves. Bomber from airbase only gets 7.

Anyway, you’re welcome

In case of an allies capital being captured: (Correct me if I’m wrong)
Say The Gilbert Isles are in Jap hands, along with India (UK capital). If the US liberates Gilbert, then on the US next turn (If India has not been liberated) the US can place an AB/NB there. Gilbert would (temporarily) belong to the US. If India (UK capital) is liberated, Gilbert and its new base would go back to UK. It would be the same for tt that are eligible for IC’s (say Kwangtung).

@skinny1:

I was thinking with the size of the new global 1940 game if anyone thought of using the set up cards from AA50 to use on the new boards for 1941 and 1942 scenarios?

I don’t know how well the setup cards from AA50 would work, but it would be awesome if a group of dedicated players with a good knowledge of WWII history playtested and came up with a '41 and '42 scenario.   better yet…

apparently Larry continued development of AAR after it was published, and released a series of “Larry Harris Tournament Rules”, and eventually Spring 1942.  Seeing as how I can’t imagine them coming out with a bigger game than 1940, I imagine this one will be around for a while, and I would think it will surely be reprinted at some point??.  I’m sure it’s a pipe dream, but wouldn’t it be awesome if LH and the team developed a '41 and '42 scenario… and who wouldn’t love some National Advantages too!?  If in some years they reprint the set of 2 games with 2 new scenarios, NA’s, a polished rulebook (destroyers at 9 IPC sub. ed.  :wink:), some minor tweaks (like AA42), etc, it would once again be a must-have even for the die-hard fans that already have a copy of the current Pac40.

I started a new thread so with all of the finished charts bundled into one pack along with screenshots of the finished product. This thread was getting a bit too long and i was concerned that it would be hard to find the latest versions of my charts. The versions of my charts in this form will be deleted in the coming days so check out the new thread.  Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

@Vareel:

I don’t think i’m explaining properly.  There should be convoy zones to represent what goes from the US to the UK/Russia.  If G attacks those convoy zones only, it would start war.  I think that is how it should be.  Obviously there should be other convoy zones as well, at least for the UK.

I suppose it depends how they do lend/lease but I’d prefer it not be a simply free cash objective for Britain/Russia (where’s the lending part in that).  What I’d like to see is a lend/lease that’s not a 1:1 gain for Britain and Russia.  The US can designate some number of IPCs to Russia and/or Britain (say 12) and they get half that amount (6 to the banker).  This has a sense of depreciated value and inflated cost (hey, the US is capitalist) to that “lease” from the US and doesn’t punish the axis as much trying to balance Russia & Britain’s economy vs Germany’s which could be unfairly skewed as Russia and Britain get free loot at minimal expense to the US.  And that could be designated in as a different type of convoy zone, perhaps only near the US coast, which would mean the Germans would have to go way past the Channel to stop it, if they even wanted to.  It has the benefit of immediately helping Russia and Britain in a pinch, but if they can hold out the US can send more in US units, which I think would be a more balanced way to send help to an ally.

That way it’s not quite the same as the established convoy zone, because Russia and Britain can’t GET cash from US territory obviously (nor should they)and there would need to be convoy zones for britain that are wholly independent from the lend lease zones you speak of.
