Quick and easy solution to tac bombers

[gamer1234]

Got my game last night and unpacked it.  Like everyone, I'm annoyed that Japan only has 6 Tac Bombers when they need 10+.  So after sitting and thinking a minute, I dug out my old copies of AARevised and even Guadalcanal.  The Tac Bomber is almost the same size as the regular bomber (wingspan and lengthwise).  Sooo.... if you cut the engines off of the old bomber models (and maybe trim the wings just a bit, then round them off)- Instant Tac Bombers! 

Also- you can snag AARevised or Guadalcanal fairly cheap off ebay- the average I saw was around $20.  This would seem a FAR better option then buying 2 games (sorry, but $20 is much easier than plunking down another $65-90 JUST for extra peices).

I'm also thinking about taking the old ICs and using them as well..   Say cut off 1 smokestack to equal a  Minor IC and use the straight model for the Major

I'll go you one better. Just use the fighters from 2nd ed. A&A. Sure the colors don't match with the Japs, but the fighters there sort of look like dive bombers anyway. I have my sets, and that's what I'm doing for that.

I am so glad I spent $90 on this deluxe game so I could figure out how to make it more enjoyable.

Then I guess you'll be skipping AA 40 Europe?

Even though I am not happy with the game components. I still think A&A is the most kick-@$$ game out there. So I will most likely buy all the games just for the gameplay, but if somebody else like FMG would make these type of games, then I would probably stop buying them.

That is there plan, they will do a 2nd printing with everything correct (rulebook, startup boxes, etc) but for 65 MSRP instead of 90 due to 'economics of scale' reducing the cost to make it and everyone will buy it just for more plastic and correct components.

Razor's solution is probably the dumbest of all

Correct.

That probably put you on sombody's smite list.

But, unfortunately any satisfactory solution will end up costing money.

That probably put you on sombody's smite list.

But it also probably put Omega on more people's applaud list!
