Does anyone know where I could view the map for GC?

Kinda a random question, but was ramming ships really a tactic in WW2?

OK, and thank you for your replies.

Hi,
I have the Revised version of A&A, and was wondering what changes have been made in the 1942 version.
The comment has been made on here that this game is balanced. (no axis bid is needed)
Has that balance been obtained thru the many updated rules, or is the map and/or setup different?
I downloaded IL’s map for 1942, and cannot see any differences.
Most of the rule changes I think I am aware of. (I have AAP40, aren’t the rules very similar?)
I also have noticed that the NOs and Techs are also gone.

But I can’t see how any of these changes would lessen the allies’ advantage…

Is there any place I could go to see the setup for 1942?

Thanks!

That answers my questions.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I haven’t purchased AAE40 (yet), but I have the Pacific game.
Can anyone tell me what the techs are in the global game.
I would also like to know how they work. (No 6s, wasted cash, or are there markers?)
Thanks

The moment J moves attacks either UK, ANZAC, Dutch or US will result in bringing war between all the powers and J.

But what if UK/ANZAC attacks first? I understand that Japan will then be able to attack back without getting the US involved.
So can, in this case, Japan also attack the Dutch without bringing the US to war?

I was just wondering where the DEI stood if UK/ANZAC were to attack Japan before turn 3.

If UK/ANZAC attacked Japan on turn 1, could Japan land troops in unoccupied DEI without bringing the US to war?

Also, If the UK attacked Japan, does this also bring ANZAC to war? (I think yes)

Here is the email I sent them, followed by their reply.

Hello,
I am contacting you in regards to the game Axis and Allies Pacific 1940. I
received this game for Christmas, and am currently about halfway thru my
first game. So far, I have been very impressed with the gameplay. I think
the diplomatic situation adds a very nice mechanic, and I also enjoy the
added strategic element of the naval/airbases. At first, I was a little
dissappointed with the cardboard markers for the ICs, AA guns, and
naval/airbases, but after playing with them, I have decided that it is nice
not having the board quite so visually cluttered. One thing I do have to
complain about, however, is the lack of Japanese tactical bombers. There are
enough to start with, if you use plastic markers, but if and when the Jap
player splits his forces, there just are not enough minatures to go
around. How should I go about getting more tac bombers?
Thank you for your help,
Adam Ensz

Hi Adam,

I apologize that you feel you have insufficient pieces for Japan. Unfortunately, the amount provided is the correct number of pieces. However, we are in communication with the Axis and Allies team to see if there is any way to provide more of the pieces as this appears to be a common concern. At this time, we do not have more pieces to provide. I will pass your feedback on to the appropriate people.

Please let me know if you need anymore help!

Sound like there may be hope! ;-)

Ok thanks, This happened to be a basically suicide run anyway.  :-D
