Would you reccomend A&A Pacific to a fellow A&A player?

Test summary from TripleA 19:22:27

seems like Japan is the only country in pacific that needs strategies.

I don’t like red units for japs, they seem like soviet units to me with that color. Not a big issue in AAPacific, but I really hope they include orange pieces in AA40 or we are going to have a very confusing board (and more if they stick to brown italian units, augh!)

@groovyarmada:

Hi, a number of years ago I used to play AA Pacific (2001 version) via the now defunct website: days-of-infamy.com. We used Motcreations mapview and the map looked identical to the actual printed gameboard. I have looked around and cannot find the original map for this version of Aixs & Allies for Mapview or Triple A, is it still in circulation? Is there a club for playing the original AA Pacific?

Cheers

Groovy.

I probably dumped 40 hours into (re)making that map from the low-quality one that was made available by AH.

I’m sure you can play AAP via MapView here if you want to.

Yes i really miss all of the unique  rules these older games had to offer. Like the j1 kill everything rules, or the allies paying for oil rule in europe. Convoying was wayyy beter in these games, but the problem i have with it is that its not an attack. Maybe we should have the ships roll dice and whenever they hit, the other player loses money, ON THE TURN OF THE AGGRESOR! The problem i have is that by the time its the enemies turn, they have destroyed  you fleet that was blockading you convoy. Having it be an attack would fix so many issues when it comes to convoying.

Taken, but not held.
