Its worth getting cause when AAE40 comes out you will want both to play the combined game. Also the introduction of new rules and units (convoys, declaration of war, air base, naval base, tactical bomber, mechanized infantry) make the game far more enjoyable and adds more depth and breadth to the series, further setting it apart from other board games.
Schedule of previews of AAP40

@Krupp:
What are the Americans using as their Tactical Bomber?
It’s an SBD Dauntless dive bomber, the same plane that was prominently featured on the cover of the original AAP.
@Krupp:
And I believe IL is correct,that sure looks like the British Mosquito.
Yup.
-
I like the P-38 because I think it looks neat and unique. :-D
@Imperious:
Royal Air Force
Royal Canadian Air Force
Royal Australian Air Force
Royal New Zealand Air Force
United States Army Air Forceall used that Mosquito plane. but id rather see the Americans get a unique plane sculpt.
Also they brought that p-38 crap back…,. arrg i prefer the hellcat if they want to be cheap, and another plane if they want to do it right.
-
I know but i don’t like landing them on carriers. they look terrible
Don’t you like the p-51 Mustang better?
as an aside P-51 was not used as carrier based planes either, so go figure.
-
Is the perspective throwing me off on the photos, or are the Tactical Bomber pieces all bigger than the Fighters and the Artillery pieces bigger than the Half-track Mech Infantry pieces?
-
The tactical bombers are larger than the fighters so that they’re easier to tell apart. I have no idea why the halftracks are so small.
-
The Tac-bombers size make sense to tell them apart surely enough, and each unit type has different scales and all, but are you saying you don’t know why they look small in the picture or why they were made smaller?
-
I don’t know why they were made smaller.
-
copy that.
-
Just mail Greg Leeds, he is boss of the chimps
-
Pictures of the pieces finally. In 11 more days, we should all be holding them.

The large Tacs are going to look very funny on a carrier.
-
