New Carriers

@andrewaagamer
indeed, very very interesting discussion. It only makes this powerfull game more attractive for me. I’m going to play now again Pacific 1940 and after that I’ll start to read the rules for the guadalcanal version… Curious about this specific rare game…

This rule was actually changed from the way it was in Revised in order to prevent air units from getting an extra movement.  In Revised, when a carrier was mobilized fighters were allowed to be moved from the territory containing the IC onto the carrier.  Under that rule, a fighter could move from New South Wales and attack Japanese-held Western Australia, then fly back to New South Wales in noncombat movement, then be moved onto a new carrier in sea zone 62 in the Mobilize New Units phase, resulting in five spaces of movement.

No only minus 2.  So if the IPC value of surronding territories was 6 the sub would only subract 2 IPC.  It would take 3 subs (2x3) to subtract all 6 IPC.  Now if there were 4 subs in the sea zone (2x4=8) the nation would only lose 6 IPC because the value of the territories only equal 6.

I bring this to the attention of Krieg (if it hasn’t already been noted).

Please could it be possible for the rulebook for the upcoming reprint to undergo the following amendment:

The 2nd sentence of the 2nd paragraph under ‘Transports’ on page 31 should read: “Air or sea units (other than Aircraft Carriers or Transports) ending their Combat movement in a sea zone containing only enemy transports automatically destroy those transports.”

Also, on page 28 of the rulebook under ‘Aircraft Carriers’, it should specifically state that these units have no attack value and therefore cannot fire in the attacking units’ fire steps. It may also be of value to reiterate that they also do not have the capability to destroy lone/defenceless Transports.

Thank you for reading.

Ok thats what i wanted to know 8-)

Just curious, did Japan land on Australia or simply threatened to? What moves were made?

The final installment for this series of photos are here.

The (unpainted) dark green US infantry come from the original A&A Pacific set and the red infantry are the Chinese soldiers from that game.  The yellow fellow is from my son’s toy soldiers I intend to use to replace the red Chinese.  and the running soldier is from my son’s toys and I was going to make a complete set to replace the US Marines from the original Pacific game.

It really improves the game playing experience and my son loves his custom set.  Give it a try.

No, they can’t land.
