Pacific 1940.2 rulebook available for download

Since the type of unit is not specified, any land or air unit will work.

Actually it’s even worse than that if your Canadian considering “Britsh Columbia” and "Yukon Territory merged into “Western Canada”. Of course gameplay is affected little to zilch by this revision.

I think it is a good game. Its pretty tough for the allies if the Japanese use the J1 attack tactic, but there are lots of ideas people have posted to fix that. Its required for global and I think that will be the best A&A yet.

@Frontovik:

what do you with transport from carolines? also to kwantung area or to japan?
btw, like your strats.

I move the transport on Carolines to Japan J1, and I buy one also on J1.  Both of these move to Carolines on J2 with 1 Infantry and 1 Arty each, along with the subs I buy on J1.  J3 I land 2 trans on Phils, hit Hong Kong from both sides and some air, and look for a place to expand from the Carolines with the troops I have there.  I shuttle troops in from Japan on J3 so I can keep my momentum from the Carolines.  I usually take a DEI island from the Carolines on J3, but I am ready for other opportunities.  Basically, on J3 I want to shut down all the Allied extra income.  One problem is making sure the US is threatened enough not to go after the home island.

I expect to buy a lot of DDs, SSs, Infantry and Arty as Japan while I get the ball rolling.

my plan is to whack out brits of the war, abnd that’s to cut down DEI income and take malay for IC ASAP
so no carolines for me :)

Nice work!

+1 to you.

Would you please change ‘bomber’ to ‘tach bomber’ or ‘tactical bomber’ in the #3 zone?

That might clutter it up and I think the icon speaks for itself. IMHO of course.

Maybe if the Tac Bomber looked like the allies Tach bomber with 2 engines, the icon would be fine…but the Tac Bomber icon and the Fighter icon look similar to me.

But there should be no mistaking the fighter for the tactical bomber because of the text.

True that!

If you can wait until tomorrow, I’ll explain it all in my next article about the rules.

Yeah the 68th anniversary of the sneak attack

That’s the reason why I try not to pre-order but wait until the shops get it.  By the time you add in shipping to the discounted pre-order prices, it usually costs more than MSRP.  Damn shipping.  To make it worth my while, I would need to pre-order like 10 to go below MSRP.

Also coolstuffinc.com doesn’t offer free shipping to Hawaii or Alaska!

Ebay sometimes is cheaper even with shipping costs, but you need to hunt for the bargains.
