Victory in the Pacific remake/remodel

@wittmann:

We are well. Had a son on the 9th Sept, so we have one of each now. He and my wife are doing fine.

Congratulations wittmann on the birth of your son.

I work with kids every week, and believe me, Marc is right, at that age, they sometimes will come back around.

Hopefully, your son will take the mantle as well. :-)

I was lucky enough to buy 3 copies of Europe 40 2nd edition for just 45 dollars a copy. woaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! :evil:

@Imperious:

I prefer this:

Infantry 6
Artillery 3
Mechanized Infantry 3
Tanks 3

Fighter 3
Tactical Bomber 2
Bomber 1

Transport 2
Submarine 2
Destroyer 2
Cruiser 1
Battleship 1
Carrier 1

Trucks 2

TOTAL = 32 pieces set

I really like your numbers IL. This would provide a much better ratio of more common units (infantry, tanks, fighters) to less common units (capital ships, bombers). Even more so than FMG’s current set. For example: With FMG’s sets, you only get 12 tanks per 6 Carriers. With your proposed numbers, you could buy 4 sets, get 12 tanks but only 4 Carriers.

@Lozmoid:

‘World Tank Museum’?

You got it right. :-D

WTM -> www.world-tank-museum.com

This is the official site and they are sold out !

But if you check for ’ 1/144 ’ on EBay, you will get a few pgs of them at all kind of prices and all kind of publishers. I got a few hundreds of them from a few of the publishers like Takara, Dragon Cando,Panzer Projekt, 21st Century etc,etc.

I also got the Panzertales collector book for WTM, in english. In this book of 98 pgs, I got almost all the tanks and more, in multiple examples.

Ok, enough bragging. :wink:

Attached is the latest version of AAG41 w/ Axis & Allied Minors.

I know coachofmany/Tigerman77 & Ozeta have there own versions running now…mine is not meant to override but is just an update of a version i’ve posted over the years.

It plays off the AAG40 boards and is based off Alpha2 rule base; NO’s have been modified to take into account the timeframe and a NA or two have been added to each nation.

Essentially, the game adds Romania, Finland, Bulgaria, Hungary and Vichy France for the Axis and Canada, African Colonies, Free French and a more separated UK Pacific for the Allies.  It also establishes “Major Neutrals:” Spain as Pro Axis; Sweden and Turkey as “major” strict neutrals.

There are also some modified rules allowing for powers to attack on the same turn, etc.

I have found it to be a “simple” upgrade and fairly balanced (played 5 games so far with 2 Axis wins and 3 Allied wins).

I have used units from historicalboardgaming.com and will eventually add the FMG units.  I’ll post some pics later.
AA41G for Minor Powers v2.0 Mar 11.xls

I am needing more Half Tracks, Destroyers and Cruisers.

You get more of these buying AAE/ AAP40. Would you not want them more for the better quality?

@CWO:

I think the game being discussed here is Capt. Rick’s Superpowers game, which has been discussed in other threads (such as http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=17524.0).  It’s not related to the Supremacy game that was published twenty-odd years ago.

Okay thanks. Anyways do you think Super Powers has potential

I want to know what else keeps the game exciting the first few rounds besides the sino-japanese war.

Like what kind of options do the allies have to interfere with Japanese expansion early in the game?
