I’ll be tweeting the whole game all day.

So the game doesn’t come with enough tac bombers for japan? That’s just pisses me off if that’s true
-
Thanks to djensen for taking the time during his first game to keep us updated and let us share in it.

Will you be posting some sort of summary later for those of us without twitter?

Things are getting cooking now:
“R4 Japan: Took N. Australia, Philippines, Malaya, Siam, Shan, but defeated in Sikang. Built minor IC I’m Fr. Indo-China.”
What I want to know is: has any player actually bought either of the new units, i.e. the tactical (DJensen incorrectly tweeted ‘tacticle’, which seems like a mixture of the words ‘tactile’ and ‘testicle’) bombers, the mechanical infantry, the air bases and sea ports… If so, when, where, and why! It’s the function of these new pieces that most interests me.
-
I honestly dunno if u can say there arent enough tac bombers. From the picture on twitter i saw some territories with 2 tac bombers. Use chips for crying out loud.
-
I would hate to use chips for aircraft. Hopefully enough tac bombers are in the game.

whats the giant carrier looking thing (holding two US planes) with the US fleet outside of Japan in the picture before USA 5.
The obvious answer would be a US AC but I dont think thats what it is. Looks like it is gray and and bigger than the other ACs on the board. Is it from a different game? -
i thinks its from aa naval minis
-
Looks like it’s ‘game over’ for Japan:
“R6 USA: Takes Korea from Hawaii. Takes Okinawa. Destroys fleet in SZ 20. Kamakaze kills 1 transport and hits a BB. No Kamakaze left.”
I guess the victory conditions must be harder to meet than in the original AA Pacific… no more India push = instant Axis win!
I’m more excited to play this game now, because of this outcome.
-
aaaahhh how did u let such an important fleet go so far into japanese territory undefended!?!?!?
-
excuse me…japanese waters*
-
What is that hugest USA carrier? I’m assuming it was a miniature or something???
-
wow that was fast! looks like its going to be an awesome game!
-
It’s turn 9 USA and we are still going. India is probably gone next turn.
-
Wow I thought it would end alot earlier haha, looks like Japan is coming back. Good stuff.
-
So what are the victory conditions?
-
Japan must capture and hold 6 of 8 cities and Alloes must capture and hold Japan.

Quick tip #1.
Before you start playing your first game, write out Japan R1. Since Japan goes first, this means whoever owns the game will play Japan first. Japan darts with almost too many units.Quick tip #2.
For the first few Japan rounds, you have so many aircraft it is difficult to figure out what came from where. Write some numbers 1-5 on the back of the control markers. Use these to determine how many spaces the aircraft has traveled.
