Yeah, I wish they put the couple of rules not in both books in the global section at the back.
Europe has the straits rule.
Pacific has Kamikaze and China rules.
If you’re aware of that, it isn’t too much of a problem.
I’d love to pimp my game with some of the painted War at Sea minis if they’re not too big for the Global 1940 map. Anyone tried using them before?
The WAS ships are at scale, so different battleships will b different lengths. In AAA, all the battleships are the same size. Etcetera etcetera
No, not even close. The battleships and aircraft carriers are MUCH bigger than the A & A board game pieces! Would have to use task force markers and keep the ships off board. The planes in formations of 3 work and look much better but might be confusing because of the 3 planes on each stand. The smaller ships would fit and be a nice upgrade.
Another issue is that they are out of print–they remain popular in the Tournaments and so they are even re-building starters/boosters I believe (by re-bagging the correct rarities of the available loose pieces) because the sealed boxes ran out a few years ago.
