AA 40 Pacific Setup Pictures

@cwwgateway:

Two things I noticed:

It at least looks like the canadian markers have been changed to UK (but not in the europe game pics?)

In alpha 3 there’s a fighter in Korea that isn’t here now.

The missing fighter might be a set-up error

At the collect income phase at the end of US1, so they will always have 17 to spend at the beginning of their 1st go.

Sounds like some of the suggestions are working. Thanks for the feed back, next time we play we will try:

I know you planned a J1 attack, but did it seem like there was enough on the table for Jap to warrant it. That’s why I’m thinking about leaving one trpt in Malaya so Jap can still nail some thing w/cruiser. J1 could still remove all but 2 allied tpts that way. What did UK do w/BB, sounds like you didn’t counter Jap at Java UK1 (to risky). Sounds like it was the backbone for the UK/Anz fleet near DEI, which would allow the US to maneuver better. I like giving the Chinese an AA gun. With all that available air power, it just seems right.

I don’t want to do to much right off the bat. Most of the above changes shouldn’t effect later Jap attacks too much. I’m starting to think that a total Pac reduction in air would be better then just reduce Japs, if you go that route.

Yea if you read through the entire forum thread Larry has said those(above) ere his possible changes. He then asks us to playtest these ideas and fill him in on what change(s) will work in making the j1 attack a choice to attack rather than the beat and strongest time to attack. I suggest reading the thread at larrys site and then you will fully understand why he is considering those choices. (though from the names I saw the people who are posting over there are the same people as from here). If you haven’t seen this thread on larrys site go now.

This was very enjoyable to read.

@oztea:

id like it if a turn represented 3 months
1 turn to a season
so that seasonal rules would be simple to implement.

I see where you’re coming from, in fact, I had the same idea, try to make it simple. However, I honestly didn’t really think of seasonal board changes, I was only going for chronological comparisons.

Really awesome this came up!

@jeffdestroyer:

Someone will make a larger Map if the 1940 Europe game does not have  big enough territories to hold pcs.
The crunch has occured in Europe in the past

Yes, this is my concern as well. But no worries. As we have seen in the past, if there is a big enough issue with TT size and enough people complain, our talented artists here at AA.org will produce some beautiful jumbo maps for us to print out and all will be right with the universe.

You talented folks know who you are  :wink:

Not really a ‘trick’, but inexperienced players seem to miss some crucial sea zone connections around Australia. It’s amazing how quickly the US can get into the DEI through that route.

If you at the Aussie naval base you can hit almost all of the DEI as well as PI and can even land in Burma (!) in one turn! It’s things like that that Allied players miss that give th Japanese a bigger advantage. Once you see those, it’s MUCH harder on Japan IMO.
