To help people out, I decided to create this post. Please post your games of AAP40 here, with a brief summary of your campaign, which side won, how many hours it took, basic strategies employed, and your feedback on the quality of the game.
I don’t know if it’ll help. Let’s say they take Sydney and also assume they took every mainland australian tt. Then, they would make 93 ipcs to the US’s 55. No need to continue the game
If they take Hawaii, they make 84 ipcs to the US’s 54 and ANZAC’s 15. No need to continue there either, when they have a 15 ipc lead
The most popular strategy I’ve seen involves a major complex in malaya and then pulling your navy onto Australia. Wouldn’t this give lots of time to attack japan with your navy and fortify Hawaii
Yeah, that’s kaufschick’s strat and why he think it’s broken. I’m not sure how he deals with threats to Z6 when his entire fleet is at Singapore. i guess he thinks they can Delay until Sydney falls
makes me wonder how much the game was actually “playtested” honestly. The errata is going to be bigger than the rulebook.

I think that they should re-issue a second edition and provide it to those who bought this shabbily tested game (don’t get me wrong, I like it and it has potential). The should as least give those that purchased the disaster version with some sort of coupon or rebate. Yeah right, like that’s ever gonna happen.
I have seen it very very even. I played two games and I am 2-0, one with allies and one with Japan. Both against very good but not spectacular opponents (Im not great but I can be creative and level headed). The games were slugmatches from the very beginning.
Both games were won and lost in China and the victor was able to play a better game of cat and mouse with their American/Japanese navy. Its probably the best and most balanced axis and allies expierence I have had.
