Should I buy two copies?

@toblerone77:

I cannot recomend strongly enough that you buy both AAP40 and AAE40. Once you play one you will want the other. Additionally with games like either edition they quickly become unavailable and out of print. When it’s time to buy whichever one you didn’t buy it will cost a lot.

I am not just a player but a collector and while not trying to be pompous, I have found that when you miss out on the original print run of games you will pay “pound of flesh” and then some to obtain some editions or even simple units.

Just buy both you will thank me lateror make a profit selling what you wish you hadn’t bought.

what he said…i have two copies of each…and im having a blast playing each game by itself and global…

ill be honest though… i prefer pacific first…the naval battles are fun to roll dice for and great aircraft carrier dogfights and amphibious operations all over the board…i love both games…but pacific 40 was the first one i bought

The new setup flops everything on it’s head.  You NEED to have a gameplan when you make your turn 1 buy.  If you buy three transports there needs to be a reason, and not just you want to take everything.  I have a plan I want to try out that involves 2 turns of all transport buys for a J3 attack, but I haven’t tried it yet

I got mine on eBay.

@The:

No. but if you just buy AA42, you get a bunch of new pieces (including A and A guns). And it’s only like 25$

@Autarch:

That’s your best bet. Plus you’ll get a lot of extra units so you don’t have to use poker chips.

That is what I did with AA42. My boys didn’t want their copy so I bought it, with 1 game played, for $20 to add to mine. Now I need a bigger table so I can print one of IL’s maps for AA42 to have a good sized board for more pieces and less chips used.

Thanks for the clarification

Since they happen on two different turns, they can do both.

i think more people would buy tac-bombers if it didn’t need another unit with it to have that 4 attack
i always thought it should just be a plain 4/3/4/11 unit, no conditions

If you can wait until tomorrow, I’ll explain it all in my next article about the rules.
