Looking for a vector map

Well, frederick319, thanks to your response further up the thread, I settled on getting the 335 piece printed version instead of the rarer 330 piece printed one. I found one on ebay and to my surprise, not only did it have the red Chinese pieces (which were pretty clear in the pictures), it also had all 8 of the Wildcat/Hellcat pieces as well as the miscounted US infantry pieces with 12-olive infantry and 25-green Marines! So a double bonus since olive infantry are easy to come by!

Production values seemed pretty close to my original Pacific set (345 piece printing with the red Japanese pieces).

I’ve noticed that the Wikipedia page for this game has the wrong game for its image! And yet from what I can tell everything else is correct.

Now I don’t actually own a copy of the game to be able to fix it but if anyone else wants to you can change it.

@midnight_reaper This is a old thread but TBH they should of kept the design for some of these charts. They are beautiful and the cherry red for Japan looks gorgeous (but it makes sense they wouldn’t do it for Pacific 2nd Ed. because of obvious reasons.

@andrewaagamer Until now, I didn’t use any CAP. I find it too risky to sacrifice a fighter in order to try to keep a seazone under your control during the enemy’s turn.
Maybe together with some own naval units it could be interesting to be stronger against an attack but I didn’t had that opportunity yet.

You will find that it’s essential to keeping Japan’s fleet alive in the late game.

I’m a newcomer to this site although I have been playing A&A for maybe twenty years now.  I got A&A Pacific a couple of years ago but unluckily  🙂 my gaming group has always had more than three players available, so we tend to end up playing A&A revised and A&A Europe.

However, we do play Pacific now and then and we by the second Pacific session we had learned what Saburo Sakai lays out in this essay– Japan had better buy subs and India had better start stacking land forces up in anticipation of an India assault.  Couple that idea with the realization that territories such as New Britain are vital due to the Naval Base rule and you are well on your way to an enjoyable and hard fought Pacific campaign.  Cheers!!

Hello all - is there a custom map file available for Pacific 2001? Thanks!

There you go Leo !

Well, I’d like any good Pacific Map with the island named.  So I guess a Pacific 1940 map with the label, or a better/bigger downloadable version of the ‘original’ Pacific game board, which already had it labeled.  Either would be great for me (and my family).

I have a photo of my grand dad playing baseball on the island…. naval officers versus cooks. 🙂
