This has been noted somewhere else on this forum but I can think of countless video games i have bought, played for about a month then have 6 or seven different patches to correct the game etc. These are downloaded for free. Making changes to the dynamics and rules of a board game is no different. It is a patch for the board game. It could even be classed as an expansion for a board game which you would normally pay for if it was a video game. Let the creators do their thing. Its their project they can do what they want. There will be a final version, just be patient.

Yes to both.  Any enemy surface warship (not transport or sub) will make a sea zone hostile, assuming you are at war with the owning power.

Good idea, Allweneed.  And good point.  So far, zero people have answered the poll question saying they would play as a beancounter.

What French units have you purchase? and why? I am looking for stuff like: -purchased an AA gun for France (or Fic) for the large air units about to take it back. -bought an art for can opener move. -bought a tank for FIC to blitz empty China territories. This game can take many twist and turns (pun intended) that French builds in late game can be anything. (NOTE: this thread is not about what you did with the starting French units. This is about AFTER France is liberated, gets IPCs, THEN has a turn WITH $ to buy stuff.  If you have not progressed that far in a game, please just read and do not clutter the thread.)

I got mine today from an eBay retailer.  Product + shipping cost U.S. $78.00 total. Is that about what everyone else paid from coolstuffinc.com?

Thank you.

Wow, what a change from a few weeks ago. http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=16257.0

From what i have seen, the allies are actually pretty hard pressed for victory at the start. It really does favor the axis from the start, but the allies get stronger the longer the war rages on, which means the axis need to take control quickly to win, but quick in the sense of this game is within the first 10 turns. This is a game that can last as long as 20-25 turns, longer than your typical A&A game.

I have seen it very very even.  I played two games and I am 2-0, one with allies and one with Japan.  Both against very good but not spectacular opponents (Im not great but I can be creative and level headed).  The games were slugmatches from the very beginning.  Both games were won and lost in China and the victor was able to play a better game of cat and mouse with their American/Japanese navy.  Its probably the best and most balanced axis and allies expierence I have had.

AA 1940 Pacific has been released for 18 Days (Not 1 month as someone said, closer to a 1/2 month). Let’s see if this question changes over the weeks/months.

Well it is like, his job, right?

Oh I thought you were talking about another kind of Chinese box

You guess correctly.  Your transports need an escort when amphibiously assaulting an island with an airbase.

Yup.  Sea battle = no bombardment.

They could have been made like the city pieces in the game civilization shown here:

Territory next to india might be packistan (incorrect nomiclature for 1940) or Kashmir, or some other goofy name…… Larry does what he wants basicly…but I hope Iran (persia) is axis neutral.
