  Nice video. Ya when u crunch the numbers it’s not really a good idea to SBR in certain times. For me the bomber in g40 is to strong. Also the dam rule for the major factory needs to be modified for SBR to be worth it for sending 2 or 3 bombers. Try doing this. Stg. Bomber SBR dam 1d6 +3.

  My Transport rule suggestion. I do have most of this for my transports. D6 A0 D@1 plane only. C6 M2 ES @1 Any planes in a naval battle with defending transports. Can take transport as a causality but loses the D@1 against a plane. No planes in a naval battle can’t take transports as a causality. Lone Transports against Ships and planes. The attacker has to kill the transports . Non of this cop out crap with lone transports all dead. WTF. They can escape. This will prolong the battle at most 5 mins. This only happens 1-4 times in a game. A transport gets a D@1 plane shot if killed if there is planes in battle. No planes then the ship or ships have to kill the transport. Now the transport only gets a escape roll if he survives the round of attack. No escape roll for a sub FS. 2 Dest and 1 Sub attacking 3 lone transports. Attacker rolls for 2 dest a 4 and a 5. both misses. 1 sub rolls FS shot of a 1. I killed transport. No escape. Now the 2 transports roll for escape and get a 1 and 6. 1 transport escapes to another sz or stays in same sz and then next round of combat the attackers only get to attack 1 transport. Works great in my game. We ave 2-4 transports surviving per game. But it gives you more options to use transport in naval battles.

  42 is closer to even balance out OOB, and debatably a little quicker. It may be worth looking at that for the first game and try the more unique(compared standard games) 1941 scenario after.

  @Karl7: @CWO: @Narvik: Pacific 2001 was the first game with convoy zones, naval bases and air bases, and my favorite, the CAP, Combat Air Patrol, the current scrambling is by far not that good. Another novel feature of the original Pacific game was that it came with two types of American infantry units (regular infantry and Marines, represented by one sculpt model in two different shades of green) and two American fighter units represented by two different sculpts (though their cost and characteristics in the rules were identical). And don’t forget the sheer number of bright red toys you got to play with as Japan! Or that crazy J1 turn where you had to try to get in as many attacks in as possible while your opponents were defending at 1. Ahhhh, the memories…. Also, don’t forget the unique victory condition. Could result in real cliffhanger games–the US bombing Japan trying to claw back the VC points while Japan tries to hold on/capture India.
