They dont compare at all we play a lot of ALPHA+2 and its a great game. We also about once a month when we go for a second game we’ll do the older games A.A. Pacfic & Europe those games are awsome games that layed down the base fort the latter games. AsJapan can you get the 22$ ? what Island do you fail to take? how early do they start Bombing you? how many ones did the Allies roll on the opening round? They seem more do or die, oops I for got to say how well are you rolling? You have to do this or its all over or you have to do this to get that more cut throat. Less grand strategy there is no recovering from a bad round. there also quicker to play and there are less rules and situations
I love them both if I had to choose I would look at how much time I had and how many players are avalible
All nite and 4+ players ALPHA+ 2 or 3.5, less than 4 players and limited time any one of the older ones or even the ORIGINAL their all great in their own way

According to the post, a minor IC can be “upgraded” to a major IC for $20.
If minor IC cost $12 and major IC cost $30 why would the upgrade be $20 and not $18 (30-12=18)???
If you need it sooner but can’t afford a major one.
-
Yup, the step up pricing for ICs is great. 30 IPCs is a ton of money even when you are bringing in 68 IPCs. You need to maximize your purchases.
I also found that buying tanks was much more of a luxury in this game.
With tanks up to 6 IPCs, I wonder, as Japan, if there is a “mechanized infantry push” strategy that could be employed. Buy cheap aircraft and mech infantry and march through Asia?
I gotta play another game. Who lives near San Francisco?

Hey djenson, I live in the east bay, and I’m always willing to commute a bit for a good A&A game. I have pretty much all of the A&A games but I’m still waiting for my copy of AAP40 to arrive. I’m at school until the 18th, but after that I’d love to meet up for a game.
-
Nice work! I saw only one mistake: you listed the maximum damage for a major IC as 6. It should be 20.
Nice work, Kevin ( you may call me “Raz”). I spelled coffe over my keyboard when I read that 6 IPC damage, if that was true facts it would be end of SBR. Also that majors can be build on 2 IPC territories, that too was weird. Someone should monitore Djensen’s rewievs, since he obvious dont have the grip on it, man. And please dont smite me for telling the true.
Who is this d’bag?

Seriously. I’m the only one putting the info out there. Make a little copy and paste error and I don’t have a grip on it? That was literally the only error I made in the article.
-
Don’t worry I appreciate you :-D
-
Great work djensen. Ignore this guy. Thanks for all the info.
-
Excellent work so far Djensen, very insightful….exactly what I come here for
-
Sorry, let me be a little more clear, I was talking about Razor, not Djensen.
-
Razor is most likely Aldertag in disguise.

Sorry folks, I didn’t quite finish the write up for the rest of the rules. I got a little burned out on writing. I’ll work on it at lunch or tomorrow night.
