China fields more forces than ever before,
Seriously, who writes these things?! The amount of forces they can field are increased 50%, but the number they can build is increased 100% WOW!
That would be more, wouldn’t it?
sorry Krieg, the problem with the terminology is that it implies you get, I don’t know, MORE THAN ONE NEW UNIT for China! But that’s just not the case here is it? No, you get Infantry and Artillery. Should be no surprise then when people complain about the game. This stuff just sets it up for failure.
You’re reading more into the terminology than what’s there. “More forces” simply means a larger army, as in a larger number of units. It doesn’t mean “more unit types”.
@LuckyDay:
Like Larry talking up the ‘refreshed’ sculpts and then we find them only on the country we never buy ships with and everything else is the same. Yeah!…
Refreshed sculpts means that each unit’s mold was redone. The result is a sharper mini with better detail. Compare them with the Anniversary pieces and you’ll see the difference.
@LuckyDay:
on a slightly connected note, any chance you could pass along to the wizards over yonder that they can move AA42 off of the “Upcoming” list and into something like “Now Available”?
I’ve been told that they have their hands full with the new message boards. They’ll get to it eventually (maybe).

Australia and New Zealand, joined together as the ANZAC forces, represent a new playable ally. China fields more forces than ever before, but will need help from their allies – the United States and England – to withstand the might of expansionist Imperial Japan.
apparently Anzac is represented, but not needed to be able to help against Japan…
I doubt that ANZAC will be helping China much. They’ve got their own problems.
problems like, hmmmm…… Japan maybe. But no, guess they won’t be helping out much there huh? After all, in AAP40 the Soviets are NOT in the game right? so who else is ANZAC gonna fight in a 4-player game with the US/UK and Japan?
Obviously ANZAC will fight Japan, which will indirectly help all the Allies. However, it will have enough to do defending itself, so it won’t be in a position to aid China directly, as the US and UK may be.
