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
Statement from Larry Harris in regards to AAP40

@Brain:
I’ve got no problems with Larry as his game design is superb. And I can see that Krieghund really cares. That said, typos for a product that you are putting out to market however is inexcusable, especially when they are on the box which is the first thing you are going to see. As far as the pieces go, c’mon how much more could it cost to give us a few more plastic pieces. If they just sold these pieces seperately, then there probably wouldn’t be such a public outcry.
While they do suck I have not had a single game yet that has not had any typos or errata.
ALthough I am not liking the set up having to have an errata.

Thanks Larry, you ROCK!

Thanks Larry…and HNY to you as well.

A ‘hats-off’ and Bravo Zulu to Larry. Maybe we’ll be able to buy additional pieces as a booster pack in the near future. :-D

Great Words, Larry! :-)
Verry much appreciated!Let’s see what the results will be: for this game, AAE40 and future games.
Tbh I really hate it that I cannot split Japanese forces right from the start due to lack of additional TAC bombers - that is a total NO GO! :evil:

I completely agree. Japan and US should have had more Tac bombers in this game as the current amount inhibits game play.
I fear that even if they correct this problem by including more Tac Bombers in AAE40 we will still run into a same problem with Mechanized Infantry in Europe 40 because Mechanized Infantry will likely be used alot more in that game along the german-russian front than they were in pacific 40.

Over Christmas I told my kids that Santa knows their names and where they live, so they better watch out…I guess if you believe in Santa you better watch what you say and do on the forums lol :-D

i know Larry has done the best he could…WOTC will fix these problems…actually im okay with what avalon hill has done…the piece count was bad but i have managed to deal with it…cmon europe 40

The only thing that kinda miffed me was the setup error on the cards and the battle-strip. Unit counts, as long as they give you enough to do a complete setup plus a few additional, I’m okay with that. But I will be e-mailing WOTC or calling them to get a new battle-strip.

Its this kind of developer support to the fans that will keep me with A&A year after year. If only other game companies would take the time to do something as simple as a statement like this then table top gaming would be in such a better place. Thank you for taking the time to be so candid and considerate to your fans Larry.
