An easy modification

[the admiral]

There’s a lot of discussion surrounding this modification on another AA site. We tried it and have found the games to be very much closer, with both sides having won. The change is this: Japan collects VPs at the end of the round, instead of the end of Japan’s turn. This makes an enormous difference at the end of the game, and makes the delay game much more difficult for Japan to pursue. This modification should only be applied by persons thoroughly familiar with the game, once you’ve reached the point where you realize it is in fact slanted in favor of the Japanese.

Hello there : )

Well years have passed since I finally reply to this, but why not after all.

Thanks for this suggestion, seems really interesting and i want to try it out.

Actually these days (April 2006) I think it’s almost impossible to beat Japan with basic rules.

CU, Stefanilli ; )
