• Do you think AAG will be better than AAE?, not AAP beter than AAE, I think we all agree AAE is better than AAP.

ok, so 9 turns, but since India and Britain keep their money separate, they will feel like separate powers to a certain degree
… but still, you see what I mean?  Isn’t AAG going to play really slow?  And I think that sitting around watching someone decide what to do with China and ANZAC is going to be really boring compared to when Germany is trying to push through Russia and all… Do you think AAP will be better than AAE??

I might be talking to the wrong crowd of course, where everyone loves Axis and Allies because it is global.  But, imo, this game is going to move really slow with 9 turns.

I have not yet bought AAP because I couldn’t care less about the Pacific battle.  I was always more interested in the European theater part of the games.  And now that AAE will be huge and include all the major players except Japan, is it really necessary to buy AAP?

I think that the reason AAP seems flawed is that Japan has to be strong enough in AAP to defend itself against the full force of America when it gets its other half.  Becuase if America adopted a Kill Japan First strategy, and the AAP game were perfectly balanced, then the Allies would probably kill Japan with enough time left to defend themselves from the European Axis powers.

And with AAG being so big I’m not sure Japan can influence the European theater at all (which is historically accurate).  The only thing Japan could do is try to divert US resources to the Pacific (historically accurate).  And Russia will not do much against Japan again, probably.  I just think the Pacific will be a neglected theater when combined to make AAG.

I guess my point is only that, I think that AAG will have, essentially, 10 turns per round, America, Britain, India, France, Russia, China and ANZAC for the allies, and then Germany, Italy, and Japan for the axis.  So, wouldn’t the game move quicker and be more enjoyable if you could just skip the Pacific’s 4 turns all together and focused on the good stuff?
