A&A Miniatures on Pacific 1940 Board

clarified thank you very much

Hi Folks,
if I had to choose, I would always decide my self for the Pacific. I prefere the huge naval/air battles over the large clashes of tanks in Russia or the battle for the Atlantic. And with the scale of A&A, the engagements between the German Africa Corps and the British 8th Army are merely a sideshow.
Greetings,
Lars

@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

Well, Kat, here is the dilemma:

If you allow Japan to take Hawaii, the following turn Japan swings down to Australia.
Add up the victory cities: 2 starting cities, Phillipines, Hong Kong + Hawaii = 5 total.
Sydney is 6. No need to slog through to India.

If you surrender Hawaii on J2, Japan could conceivably win the game outright on J4.
J3 fresh troops from Japan land on Hawaii. New Zealand falls. Don’t forget Australia does not get to scramble fighters because they are considered a continent, not an island.
Third CV returns to Phillipines to help with ANZAC attack.
J4 fresh troops arrive in Hawaii; existing troops shuttled to Queensland or New Zealand, depending where ANZAC defends.
At best Sydney holds out until J5.
As Japan I could send out DD screens to delay US counterattack.
Also, if Hawaii falls on J2, virtually every fighter in Asia I have will be in Hawaii by J4.
The scrambling rules allow ALL fighters to defend sea zone around Hawaii.

I started a new thread so with all of the finished charts bundled into one pack along with screenshots of the finished product. This thread was getting a bit too long and i was concerned that it would be hard to find the latest versions of my charts. The versions of my charts in this form will be deleted in the coming days so check out the new thread.  Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

each game box has 6 compartments. each piece of paper creates 2 compartments. the 3 folded papers fit snugly into the game box so there is no need to glue or tape the folded paper to the game box.

however, when the 3 folded pieces are placed in the game box 2 flaps of paper do not lay flat against its neighbouring paper and i taped them down.

Thanks for the clarification and the new rules errata! I’m omw to play another game tonight and this time I’m Japan.

just like in real life
that’s what i like in this game: you’ll have same discussions of 1940 as in reality

i have read a book about it, some were pro war 1940, some 1941, some pro war China, some pro war USSR

each case: it has its advantages, but disadvantages.
only depends if there are more pro’s than con’s
