A&A Pacific: Japanese first strike

You load and offload with your transport in the sea zone adjacent to the territory.  Sea units never enter territories.

@groovyarmada:

Hi, a number of years ago I used to play AA Pacific (2001 version) via the now defunct website: days-of-infamy.com. We used Motcreations mapview and the map looked identical to the actual printed gameboard. I have looked around and cannot find the original map for this version of Aixs & Allies for Mapview or Triple A, is it still in circulation? Is there a club for playing the original AA Pacific?

Cheers

Groovy.

I probably dumped 40 hours into (re)making that map from the low-quality one that was made available by AH.

I’m sure you can play AAP via MapView here if you want to.

40 IPC’s. I do it every time I play Japan. I take the PI and all the DEI, Malaya, Borneo & Hong Kong. These = 21 IPC which puts Japan @ 40 IPC’s. If all goes well I do not lose too much units due to Japans 1st round attack advantage. (All Allied units, except the Chinese, defend at 1 on the dice) Tonight I won by VP’s, holding over 40 (I topped out @ 45) for 6 rounds. USA had sunk Japans navy on T5 after I slammed into AUS capital after building up INF & ART for a couple rounds and lost that battle. I pretty much had expanded all my forward units and had started reinforcing the India campaign. By the time the USA started to xport land units it was too late. It was great game w/ a few navel battles that cost both sides alot of hardware! Great fun! My boys are grumbling by being beat by the “ol Man” again.  :-D

@Flashman:

Elbowmaster’s redundant site has a scan of the connector strip:

Thanks for the links, Flashman.  They look like they will be very helpful.  I suspect that I might still make up my own set of rules, but they give plenty of starting points.

Wow!  I am flattered!  Thanks for the vote of confidence on the articles.  Really, I prepared the essays hoping to get more players interested in the game, so that I would have more opponents.

I still have 1 or 2 more essays ideas to finish but have been too busy to complete it.  I’ll try to get to the last ones in the next few weeks.

Ha, as it is, I don’t own A&A: P either!

Chinese and Indian Infantry would just stack up while you wasted everyone of your fighters…then the U.S. would just come in from your rear and wipe you up.
