Yeah, I know. I was too tired after work and dinner last night to do anything. I’ll see what I can do this morning. I won’t be able to photo everything tho; it will have to be a multi-part preview.
Also, I have my game lined up for Sunday. You’ll have to wait for setup pics until then.
@Imperious:
see if you can get the setups reposted for all players. I have a hard time seeing the details.
I know people want to know whats is going on and these pictures are not so good. ( but better than what we had before)
ahhh soo good! I can’t WAit until this is relaes3ED!
Stay tuned, I’m uploading a few photos now.
Here are the latest photos.

The original size (when you click on a photo) should be large enough to read all of the text.
I was having trouble photographing the map so I’ll work on that tomorrow.
Thanks for the preview article. Are we to expect a new preview article every day or so till the 15th?
Also do the container boxes used for the units only have one section unlike AA50 which has three sections in each unit container box?
Thanks for all the info.
:-o Just finished reading the first preview! :-D
Words fail me……OMFG!
OMFG!
If the Europe version is even half as good as what i have just seen?
Then>>>>> OH MY FING GOD!!!
AWSOME, SIMPLY FING AWSOME!
I got two copies on order now and i cant wait to play this mutha!
The new pieces look badass!
Larry and all those involved deserve a hugh slap on the back for a job well done!
Thoes426 :evil:
full Japan setup as best as I can tell
Japan: 8 infantry, 2 artillery, 1 tank, 1 aa gun, 2 bombers, 3 fighters, 4 Tac Bombers, 1 airbase, 1 naval base, 1 major ic
Caroline Islands: 1 infantry, 1 aa gun, 1 airbase, 1 naval base
Formosa: 1 fighter
Iwo Jima: 1 infantry
Jehol: 2 inf, 1 art
Kiangsi: 5 inf, 1 art
Korea: 1 inf
Kwangsi: 3 inf, 1 art
Manchuria: 4 inf, 1 mech inf, 1 art, 1 aa gun, 1 bomber, 3 fighters, 2 tac bombers
Okinawa: 1 inf, 1 fight
Palau: 1 inf
Kiangsa: 1 inf, 1 fighter, 1 tac bomber, 1 bomber
Shantung: 1 inf
Siam: 2 inf
Zone 6: 1 sub, 2 destroyers, 2 AC with a fighter and tac bomber each, 1 cruiser, 1 battleship, 2 transports
Zone 19: 1 sub, 1 destroyer, 1 cruiser
Zone 33: 1 destroyer, 1 AC with a fighter and tac bomber, 1 battleship, 1 transport
Assuming 11 ipc tac bomber, 4 ipc mech inf, 18 ipc AC
Best guess for total unit cost: 397! IPCs of units
I’m having some trouble identifying the tac bomber, but the truck are easy to identify!
good job
My question is (and I beleive it has already been asked): What are those little squares with the Asian characters on them? I would assume they are Japanese and perhaps have something to do with Japanese Victory conditions, maybe like the VC chips from AA50? Otherwise they could have something to do with China…?

I am guessing that these are for the Kamikaze attacks.

I agree

I see. I forgot, Japan gets (I guess 6) Kamakazi attacks to use throughout the game. I never played original Pacific; do they kill a fighter for it or is it like a freebie?
there are watermarked squares on the board the size of the kamikaze markers…
My guess that the Japanese player places them at the beginning of the game. You can make kamikaze attacks in these sea zones.

They don’t kill a JAP fighter. The Kamikaze chip is the fighter.
Only one section.

so much information!! I am impressed
but no love for europe still……larry must still be drawing the board on construction paper
It is the medium sized airplane. It is upfront with the halftrack/mechanized infrantry. I put the two new units up front. I will do the same in all the photos. The tactical bomber and the mechanized infantry will be in front of the rest.

good job
Krieghund, since the review copies are out, are you allowed to write up your thoughts on the game now? I’m sure you’ve played it a bunch already, no?
I’m too emotionally attached…
But sth is wrong, on the ANZAC set up (from the picture) you can see that there is Major IC in New South Wales, but the value of this territory is 2, comparing it to the info from fact sheet, Major IC can be built on a territory with value 3 or higher.
Am I wrong?
Welcome, tomekhello! You’re not wrong. All I can say right now is that it’s an exception, like the IC on Japan.
Only one question: is possible land units from Japan to Alaska in the same turn? (and viceversa). I see a Aleutian islands teritory, but borders of that sea zone are not clear
Yes.
Any word yet on what these national objectives are?
Not yet.

You’re guessing correctly.
Seems like the ANZAC infantry is just another British soldier with different colour… :(
Well they were a commonwealth of Britian’s at the time, very strong connections to them. So it’d be safe to assume that they shared equipment and such.
