• @Krieghund:

    It doesn’t show infantry attacking on a 2 when paired with artillery, either.  It’s not incorrect - it’s a design choice.  There simply isn’t room on there for all of the combinations.

    Forgot about that thanks Krieghund!

    @Battlingmaxo:

    Dr. Shades is correct. I received mine yesterday. One of the bombers was broken and the battlestrip was creased. The letter essentially stated that 9 bombers are required for the game and the extra 3 are for your patience.

    The setup calls for 10…

    Got mine today and one of the wings was a little discolored like has been mentioned but am quite happy they followed through.

  • @Hobbes:

    I send an email yesterday to costumer service in Europe asking about the battle strip and the tac bombers. They replied today asking for my address to send the new battle strip but didn’t mentioned anything about the additional tac bombers. It seems that they haven’t been informed yet.

    Very nice surprise on the mail today… just got the battlestrip and the planes today  :-D

    The battlestrip is a little bent but nothing that a pair of heavy books over it won’t solve and the planes look OK, other than a few scratches.

    :D

    I even sent back an email yesterday thanking them for the speed - nice costumer service :)


  • I got my bombers and strip.

    I never mailed anything in, just created a case with WOTC on their website. Although I did create it before their announcement.

    Of the 6 tacticals I received, 3 were damaged. Only 1 had instantly obvious visible scarring, but none of were broken or unplayable. In truth, I only wanted 2 more bombers anyway, so I’m happy on that front.

    The battleboard was severely damaged. It was filled with pockmarks from bomber pressure points. The center has a vertical slice right through it and the entire board is warped as if someone dipped it in water and let it dry on the pavement. In my opinion, this component is unplayable. BUT, I dont care about the battleboard. Never did since I’ve never used them. It just seems inconvenient to transfer all the pieces to somewhere on a table that is highly constricted for space already. And even if I did want a batteboard, Bob has given us a superior solution anyway.

    Now one thing I did want (and I requested this originally) was a pair of Japan and ANZAC setup stickers to overlay onto the incorrect ones. I expect these corrected stickers must exist anyway for the reprint.

    I’d still like more Japanese mech inf and a new rulebook, but that’s picking nits I suppose. Overall, I’m happy.

    :-D :-D :-D :-D


  • I just got mine too! And all 6 tactical bombers were in perfect condition! :-D The battle strip was bent, but who cares about that?

    I asked about corrected ANZAC and US stickers too but honestly I feel the stuff people on this forum came up with is far superior.

    Wow, pretty quick here too. I emailed them on 2-10-10 and mine were in the mailbox this past Thursday 2-18-10, about 1 week!

    The battle strip was a little “bendy”, but the planes were in perfect condition. Great job to the AAP40 support staff.

    My letter said that there was supposed to be 9 Japanese TAC bombers included in the game originally, and they sent me 6 more for having to have had to wait.


  • extra tactical and battle strip have been received! Thank you Wizards for listening to the players!

    I can’t wait for Europe to comes out. But I need to find more friends to play the game!

    Received 6 tac bombers in good condition, battle board was folded in half.

    Bought 2 sets of the game is my guess.


  • I received my replacement Board and Tactical Bombers today (I didn’t have to mail in my old one, as I opened my claim long before the announcement). I was a bit disappointed to see that two of the bombers had damaged wings, and there were some dents in the board itself (from aircraft imprints), but at least WoTC came through for the community and provided the replacements at all.


  • Just amazed they didn’t think of sending it in a box, I always assume worst case scenario when I do things, I guess they don’t.


  • Anyone Know the email address that I can Use to Get These Tac Bombers/Battlestrip


  • @sgtbman:

    I don’t know the e-mail address off hand but the number to reach them is on the back of the instruction manual.
