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
More Homebrew stuff for AAP40

Maybe I really should go to work for WotC…
This weekend was my first chance to give these setup cards a test drive. Setup was a lot better with the chart than the box top, and I didn’t really have a problem with the small type, so that is good too. Unfortunately, I must have been interrupted at work when I was plugging in some of the data, because there were a couple mistakes on the setup charts. I didn’t put any of Japan’s navy on Caroline Islands, and I gave the US too many fighters for Western US. -1 to me. :(
Anyway, the setup cards in the zip file have been corrected, so if you download the package, they’re right. For those of you that have already downloaded and printed out the setup cards, I have added a “corrected” Japan/US PDF so you only have to print out one sheet to get both corrected cards.
Sorry once again, and please let me know if anyone else catches any other mistakes. Thanks!
-
Hey thanks for the quick corrections and hard work! Beautiful stuff.

Thanks for the updated set up sheets.

Yes. Diplomatic cards would be great. Perhaps we could print them on the back of your setup cards. I have tried to create a setup/diplomatic card, but mine pale in comparison to yours so i’ve halted completing that project for now.
Thanks for all the great work.
-
Man, I wouldn’t mind doing a diplomatic card, but I wouldn’t have a clue how to set it up! I’ll think about it, though.

rubber cement works well on foam board (your local Michaels should have it for $2 per board, I think elmers makes it) that’s how my AA50 board came to fruition.
@bcguitars: Awesome job with the cards.
-
Thanks, MaherC.
FYI: I used Krylon Spray Adhesive to attach all of my sheets to the foam board. It worked real well for me.

np BC, when you get a sec, I sent you a message…

The set-up cards look awesome. Hey WOTC take a look at this.
-
Wow that’s simply amazing. As everybody else said, Very well done. Lol any chance of rewriting the rules? I’m just saying… :-P lol jk But in all seriousness you did great.
-
Well done!! Very impressive what you have here. Would you object if I posted this at Larry’s site as well?
-
That is very nice work. Thanks for the contribution.
-
I haven’t even picked my 1940 box up yet, but I downloaded your files anyway so I will be ready.
Thanks very much for the hard work… Illustrator can be a bear for this type of work. Thanks for saving us all many, many hours!!
Now we just have to find a way for Kinkos to print out miniature plastic Tac Bombers and Mobile Infantry units and we will be all set. :wink:

Bob’s done a real good job with the political cards
Eh? Someone’s done some political cards for Pac 40? Could someone hit me up with a link, please?

" (each) " should not be be there.Yep, this was copy & pasted from Japan’s card. I can’t believe it took so long for someone to notice! Thanks Luke, files have been updated.

I greatly appreciate you efforts here. I think you should post these over at www.boardgamegeek.com. Others have made charts like these; but these are by far the best I’ve seen so far.
Many thanks to help out with the subpar performance of WotC!
p.s. I will no longer be buying WotC games due to the lack of quality.
