When you’re close to taking Sydney as a final VC, u’ll find yourself producing over 90 IPC’s hehe… The trick with the US is to destroy Japan’s Navy piece by piece. This allows Hawaii and Sydney to be safe from a Japanese invasion wich denies them victory. U’ll find that the caroline islands are also very important. This gives a 1-turn passage into mainland China where you can almost land anywhere and create a gap in that japanese front (or, even better, if the japanese player built an IC, to take it away :)), and please land before India is captured.
Some questions on the 1940 editions
-
Hey, got some questions about these 2 games, hope you dont mind answering some of them.
1: If combined will they be the same size as the AA50 map?
2: Are they limited editions like AA50 and as such will they be gone from the market soon like AA50?
3: Could someone point me in the direction of some detailed photo’s of the map?
-
1. Combined they’ll be more like 3 feet x 6 feet (AAP40 is about 3x3 feet, give or take)
2. Supposedly not limited editions
