AAP40 Day 18 from Release Date–Opinion poll: What round should Japan attack on?

i like to play pacific 1940 2nd ed with my friend a lot but he always kicks my ass as the allies. both of us have the same amount of experience in the game having played pacific against each other about 3 times. every time i get bogged down in china due to the massive amounts of Chinese infantry, my navy gets destroyed by Americas in every single operation and and by the time uk gets to china and the anzac starts island hopping, its over. does anyone have any tips or strategy i could try out to help me or maybe a video that could explain how exactly i could try to pull off a victory? thanks :)

Thanks for the quick response molinar13.

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

@SAS:

NOs represent political/economic conditions that have no strict military basis and so don’t “naturally” fit in the military game mechanic of A&A.  The Japanese people would have gotten a great morale boost from taking over a critical Allied city like Calcutta, Sydney, or Honolulu.  The Allies don’t get a boost from holding them because that doesn’t boost morale or give any sort of economic or political advantage from keeping those cities that they already had.  The Japanese would have had a great political playing card if they had been able to capture any of these cities.

Exactly.  What he said.

bumped for mrblack trying to do kuf

sorry i bumped the wrong thread. will bump correct thread

Do you mean half of 57 or half of 17? If it’s half of 17, that’s a greater disadvantage to the allies.

I also got a mail that my copy will arrive the 18th. I live in the Netherlands.

Good work as always Questioneer but telling you that you do not have a date is still not a confirmation.
Everything thet say is carefully worded so that they still have an out. I have been sown this road to many times before.
