All in all, this makes me feel that there is no forgiveness for mistakes in AAP40.
Yep, this was exactly the observation one of my friends made: “It’s very hard to win this game in a single turn, but it sure is easy to lose it in single move”. :)
My guess is that that is mostly due to the immense cost of the forces involved. If you lost a handful of planes and expensive ships in a single battle there is no way you’ll be able to replace them in any reasonable amount of time.

Add to that the abattoir that is mainland Asia and you have a decidedly bloody game. It’ll really make for interesting play in Global.
My patence with Wizards of the Cast is fast running out…

Is this e-mail a joke? Cause if it’s not the spelling once again is shameful.
I must agree. What a spelling mess!
How can anyone with this kind of misspelling be in charge of any kind of Editing? Wow!!!
This does not bode well for Europe. :x
Of course it is a joke by IL.

Yep. Also, the bit in red.
Good news guys! We’re getting our bombers! Check this out. WOOHOO! I just got in my email:
Variable,
We have placed an order for a replacement battle strip and will ship the replacement to you when we receive the corrected strips in which should be around February. I am also sending you a few extra Japanese tactical bombers now.
Thank You

POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
What was your email leading up to this? The response I received said they wouldn’t be sending units (unless they were missing or broken).
Yeah, What do I need to say to get me some bombers as well?
Here’s my email to them:
"Hello again,
I purchased Pacific 1940 a few days ago and understand I need to register here to receive the corrected charts for the game. Is there anyway to also get corrected box tops for the new setup info? And, like everyone else, I will ask for a few extra Japanese Tactical bombers as well.
Thank you for your help."
That’s it. Nothing special. Apparently Pat is the one to talk to and not Jamie.
Thanks Variable I shall give it a try.
What is the email address?
Dang. I sent in my request for a new battle strip already. Oh well, maybe they’ll just send out pre-packaged boxes. It would be nice.
Well tell them that you just realized that tou don’t have enough Jap tac bombers as well.
What is the email address?
wizardscusthelp@wizards.com is the only email address. They all take turns responding from the same address.

The way it worked for me was I sent them one email explaining the problem and they sent two emails back a couple days apart. The first said basically they know about the problem. The second was after many complaints about bombers. They realized something needed to be done. I think if you registered for the new battle strip they will send you bombers too. But it’s not a bad idea to contact them again through your customer service account on their website.
@Variable: I’ll probably do that. I am missing a Dough-boy, anyway.
