They dont compare at all we play a lot of ALPHA+2 and its a great game. We also about once a month when we go for a second game we’ll do the older games A.A. Pacfic & Europe those games are awsome games that layed down the base fort the latter games. AsJapan can you get the 22$ ? what Island do you fail to take? how early do they start Bombing you? how many ones did the Allies roll on the opening round? They seem more do or die, oops I for got to say how well are you rolling? You have to do this or its all over or you have to do this to get that more cut throat. Less grand strategy there is no recovering from a bad round. there also quicker to play and there are less rules and situations
I love them both if I had to choose I would look at how much time I had and how many players are avalible
All nite and 4+ players ALPHA+ 2 or 3.5, less than 4 players and limited time any one of the older ones or even the ORIGINAL their all great in their own way
Schedule of previews of AAP40
-
The Tac-bombers size make sense to tell them apart surely enough, and each unit type has different scales and all, but are you saying you don’t know why they look small in the picture or why they were made smaller?
-
I don’t know why they were made smaller.
-
copy that.
-
Just mail Greg Leeds, he is boss of the chimps
-
Pictures of the pieces finally. In 11 more days, we should all be holding them.
(Rank = 94)
-

-
Looks like the same pictures djensen took.
-
the pictures are from jensen, the review is from someone else
-
I was hoping to see some new pictures.
-
insn’t the picture of the entire board new?

yeah, I don’t think that I have seen that one yet.
-
The tactical bombers are larger than the fighters so that they’re easier to tell apart.
The large Tacs are going to look very funny on a carrier.
-
any pictures yet of a tac. on a carrier posted yet?

This is a lot of work.
Krieghund, please let me know if I made any mistakes in my explanation of the new rules.
-
This is fantastic!
It will help alot of new players understand the game because you truncated the information for an easy read.
-
Yeah, I wish I had done this before playing the game. We missed a few things.

Nice work! I saw only one mistake: you listed the maximum damage for a major IC as 6. It should be 20.
-
@Craig:
Major ICs need to be on territories with an IPC value of 3 or higher
Nice catch, Craig. I missed that one.
