thanks for the info squire!

“The first is USA not at war footing, the second is after USA enters the war.”

do you recall what they were?  i’m having a difficult time seeing the numbers

so i see that seaports and airfields are not printed on the map, interesting.  and it appears that western u.s. has two i.p.c. values, guessing one for pacific and one for global

i wonder how many magic markers it took to make that map, :)

Major produces up to 10 units. Can only be built on a territory with an IPC value of 3 or higher (not too many of these out there – especially in AAP – With the exception of Manchuria there are no none in fact).  … Korea, Kiangsu (Shanghai), Kwangtung (Hong Kong) - forgot about those
Minor factories can only be built on territories with an IPC income of 2 or higher. No factory can be built on an island – Exceptions - Japan and Australia (Which are not really considered islands and already have factories anyway). In a nutshell… There will not be a lot of new factories popping up in AAP40. As for bombers appearing in Sydney… it can happen, but in a (somewhat) limited manner.

1. Being as Canada is a Commonwealth of UK, and ANZAC is a separate power, how will that play out in the “full” game, both economically and with territories? In the Global game both the ANZAC and Canadian forces will probably be controlled by the UK player.

2. Will ANZAC control all of the UKs territories in the AAP map, with UK controlling the ones on the Europe map? No, again the UK player will control all commonwealth territories in the global game. I’m not 100% sure about this however… In the AAP there will be a dedicated UK player - based out of India and the ANZAC player out of Australia/New Zealand.

3. If the answer to #2 is yes, will each power control half of India, being as the dividing line is cutting right through it?

4. How will the French territories in AAP play out if only the AAP board is being used?
The French territories will be French but there will not be any French units located on the AAP map. They will appear in the Europe game however. As for the Global game… I’m not sure there is a large enough French presence to warrant French units in FIC.

5. How will the economy of the US work so that it has a fair amount of IPCs in both the AAP/AAE/“full” games? The US economy will shift gears when it enters the war. It will become the Arsenal of Democracy of sorts. Its IPC income will jump through the roof.

6. Finally, if possible, could you try and get a picture of the AAP map for us, being as it must be finished or almost finished and not subject to more revision? It is my understanding that my publisher (Wizards of the Coast) will allow me to present a AAP50 map a Gen Con, this week. If so I’ll ask them if I can present the map here sometime after the convention.

Thanks Johnny Marr!  Your very keen on doing this. Very much appreciated!!! :lol: :wink:

Quote from Larry Harris

“You were pretty right about Pacific/Europe … Actually they are: Axis & Allies Pacific 1940 and Axis & Allies Europe 1940. I think you called them Revised Pacific and Europe. They are so NOT revised. These are self standing enlarged games each dealing with either the war in Europe/Africa or the war in Asia/Pacific. I think you’ll like them. Did I say “Think”?
Actually I’m trying to find out where you’re getting your information from. I’ll have to have him shot of course. I’m sure you understand”

i enjoyed it in Pacific in which it saves you a space

one of my favorite things about Pacific

i think thats a good idea.  i’ve been coming to this site for a couple years, but never went to the variants page until a couple days ago but am extemely excited for these game pieces

Per Larry Harris:

“There will be NEW sculpts! Really Cool sculpts actually.”

his own words

played my first game in 1987, age of 9

i paid $100 to purchase at midnight

i’m bored and i only know because krieg answered it previously

the china fighter can only go where chinese infantry can go.  same rules apply.

just trying to save you some time, when i know the answer to the question

you receive bonus during the collect income phase of the individual country’s turn.

yes the fleet can move through a sz occupied by an enemy transport or submarine.  that is my interpretation. krieg will have the final ruling

got it at midnight at local store! looks great.  Missing one russian infantry and one british tank.  other than that, the only issue is 3 pieces of game board wont sit even with one another.  i will have to put something heavy on them overnight.  my wife thought i was crazy for smelling the rulebook.  fresh ink smells great, especially on something i’ve waited so long for!
