More products in circulation are my goal and that is what is moral for me.

I knew an engineer with a simple product that he patented.  His research showed that he could produce slightly more than the pre-order amount and not be left with a lot of inventory.

More pre-orders usually mean more products in circulation.  Also, a few high priced sales usually increase supply for future products. It would not surprise me that the production amount of AA Pacific 1940 was substantially influenced by the e bay craze of AA50.

If no one pre-ordered then how much do you think would be produced? and how would future game developments be impacted?

Miragehunter,

People who pre-order extra copies are helping with the initial demand. 
Some players will not know about the new AA40 Pacific until it is out for 6 mos. and they may not find it in stores. 
People who order extra copies help with the delayed interest by occasional players who only play a couple of times per year.

This is the first time that I am pre-ordering more than one copy.
Major +Karma to the players on this site who sold extra copies of AA50 to fellow players

My last russian sub attacked a Jap. DD in the pacific with the help of a bomber.

This allowed the USA fleet to be unblocked and destroy the Jap. fleet.    :evil:

I am waiting or my order as well….

The email they sent said that they did not make enough for the volume they rcvd

it is an old poll started in 2008…before AA50

Use the hellcat for future games for….USA

Russian BB looks like a Monopoly piece

1.  extra inf in Yunnan or move chi. fighter starting position

2.  round Chinese territories up for infantry placement.  give at least one plus the rest
        ie  4 territories = 1 plus 2…for 3 inf

3.  Maybe a Chinese N.O. of an extra inf  if allies hold Manchuria? or Kwangtung?

4.  Cruisers  maybe one ipc less would place more in the game.  I never see that many now.

this is more direct

I like the Italian fig.  and the idea of the nut for the AA guns…
it would help keep track of the original owners for the few AA guns that can change between players

IL,

Do you have an close of photos of your map printed at “Flag and Banner” that shows the quality produced?

for $300… I would print Imperious Map and use new sculpts from the new 1942 game instead.

check out Imperious Leader maps…

oK IL,
Here is some feedback.

Everyone is a critic.  My 12 year old says that he would like to see FDR’s picture in the background in the Eastern USA and some mountain topography in other areas like the original map.

I like the size and appreciate your efforts.  I just printed it in sheets of 8 x 14 for now.

it is located on the Avalon Hill AA50 product page on Krieghund’s link  not the download page that you listed.

I love the new tranny rule.  It allows for balanced naval purchases.  NO more large TR navies.

@Dash_Riprock:

Well the group I play with recently bought the anniversary edition, and since no one else seems to have made one so far, I updated my calculator for the new rules like different unit values, bombardment not insta-kill, planes not hitting subs without destroyers present, ect.

You can get all the possible results by pressing the details button.  Just hold the mouse over to see what units are left for each outcome.
You will need Java installed to run it.

EDIT #3: File once again updated, fixed some minor issues.

I tried your calc.  with 4 subs vs 1 CV with 2 figs.  It should show the same results as 4 subs vs 1 CV, but it did not.  Defending figs. should not be able to hit the attacking subs or be taken as hits.

:cry:  Keep the Hammer & sickle!!!        :lol:

Here is my Big Pieces edit with a damaged factroy in the place of the Chinese Factory.  Maybe someone will like it.
