I love Ping pong, but A&A is also a love of mine too, lol.

Despite having ‘guards’ units from missouri or nebraska the united states was probably more united in 1940 than the united kingdom.

Knowing where we are now politically makes that :lol: obvious. India does not have much to say in british elections where soith carolina has yet to declare independence again.

Then again Tata motors owns Jaguar……

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

@bigopfer:

You are totally right Plum, the game is not worth the money they charged. The map IS amazing, the gameplay IS really fun. But you nailed it with the boxes, paper money, IPC chart, cardboard pieces, lack of tac bombers. I mean, I paid basically the same money for this game as I paid for my copy of AA50 and this AA40 Pacific is missing lots of the quality that AA50 had.

Exactly!  I was totally content with how they presented AA50.  Everything was high quality and all aspects of the game and its components were top notch.  Totally worth the money I spent on it.

While this game certainly has some high quality aspects about it, (especially the game play, which is all that really counts in the end) there are so many small blunders it’s really frustrating.  The income chart is what gets me the most.  It seems like the day before they shipped the game out somebody realized “Oh crap!  We forgot income charts!” and then threw together the first thing they thought of and tossed it in the box.  I’m surprised they weren’t scribbled on a piece of notebook paper.

@Veqryn:

does it have to be ANZAC that conquers/controls the originally Japanese territory? (or can it be any of the allied powers?)

ANZAC must occupy the territory.  Another Allied power may have taken it from Japan, but ANZAC must have a unit there.

@Veqryn:

originally Japanese territory means places like Iwo Jima, Siam, and Paulau Island, BUT does NOT include places like Kwangsi, Manchuria, right?

Correct.

@Veqryn:

and of course, the one that is already answered, that this NO only happens once, and subsequent turns that ANZAC controls such territory do not do anything…. why?

This NO represents the morale boost of a relatively minor power setting foot on a powerful enemy’s territory for the first time.  Once the novelty wears off, it doesn’t apply anymore.

There was an early “development” version available via the forum at tripleadev.org

Tripleadev has now moved to

A new alpha is announced but not yet available.

While waiting why not give ABattlemap a try? See first post in
