Those are some good supplemental advantages there. i have to admit that has me thinking about employing some of those in my next game and thinking up some for AAP as well.
Global War for AA Europe and AA Pacific?
-
My buddy recently picked up AA Pacific for $8 from a thrift store in great condition. He gave it to me as a gift and offered to dedicate a table in his basement to keep it set up for long games we couldn’t finish.
I don’t remember who’s idea it was, but we decided to get AA Europe and combine them for a huge game. I picked up a used copy in great condition for $25.
After doing some reading I realised you need AA Europe and Pacific 1940 to play Global. Is there a variant that lets me play Global with the old versions of Europe and Pacific? I don’t feel like owning a bunch of different AA games, or paying hundreds to play Global.

No, the old Pacific and Europe weren’t designed to be combined; the maps don’t fit together. See here for earlier discussion of this topic:

You have most of the pieces. You can down load the rules ror free. There are free map files. Costs some money to print.
Might b cheaper, better, faster to sell those copies and use proceeds to buy global.
Since those games are out of print, you might get good money on ebay. Just looked europe selling for $40-$65 used with shipping. Pac is $40-$55
Total$80-$120.
You should be able to find both global games at one place for $130-$150. New free shipping.
Just looked at gamenerdz (great place. I preordered anniv there for less then i saw anyone pay)
$60 bucks each. Free shipping total $120. Not to much more $$$ if you sell for decent price -

Incorrect Bob, there was a to combine the early PAC EURO games with a mod that someone made a LONG way back. :lol:
I think it’s on HBG. Basically you needed a map extension and a few new rules to make it work.
Let me take a look and see if I can find it.

Here is a link to one way the link was made:

But I seem to recall there was an even better way… maybe I will go digging in my files to see if I can’t find it.

Oh, I guess you were right that they weren’t designed to be put together.
Ok, my bad. :-P
But they can be combined by mods. :-D
