@vodot Yeah, definitely seems like the US would need some kind of economic boost if they have a split economy. I bet playing like this would be more historically accurate and more fun, especially with more than 2 players.
1942SE at GenCon was awesome.

i have to say if that’s a bren gun carrier it’s f’in’ ugly
-
what the hell is the brits mech inf??? I already saw brens in museum and I can tell� you this is not one
Yup, it’s not a Bren. From the looks of it I’d say it’s a Kangaroo - during the UK the British converted unnecessary tanks as armored personnel carriers - if you check the wheels they look close to the US Sherman or the Canadian Ram.

I was thinking the samething about 2 mins. after I wrote my comment, I was just about to edit mine.

LOL its a priest tank destroyer converted into a Kangaroo armoured personnel carrier. You can tell by the lump on its right side (toward the top in the pic). LAAAAAME

Some pictures from Pacific 1940 2nd ed. can now be found at…
Axis and Allies.org Boards > Axis & Allies > Axis & Allies Pacific 1940
…courtesy of VanGal. His original files are too large to post directly, so I started by posting a few quickly-reduced versions because I wanted to get them out as quickly as possible. I’ll follow them up with some larger-scale close-ups of picture sections, either tonight or tomorrow morning, depending on how rapidly the re-sizing work goes. Many thanks to VanGal for providing this valuable material!

Thanks both of you.

so are the french units really the same old soviet pieces? i know the box says they are, but the back of the box is really funky with the British having 2 different mechs and Italians seeming to have 2 different tacs.
-
I think the lesson we all really need to take away with us is basically to not trust the photo images on the back of the boxes. :-)

yeah it’s almost like the box images are designed to treat us into buying the game.

It might be a Universal Carrier, a 4-man armoured personnel carrier which (like the Bren Gun Carrier) was derived from what was originally a 1920s tankette whose name I forget.

Have we seen any French Units yet?
