Do you think they would employ diffrent kinds of fighters with diffrent stats for each nation?
How many players to you think it will be? -
huh?
Its only 2 players… who else was in the battle?
I do know this:
Each player ( specifically the japanese player) will be able to draw additional reinforcements into the game ( thus they are variable) such as additional warships and planes, except that victory points are lost if he has to win with more than what was historical. You have the flexibility to enlarge the battle but at the cost of losing the game on points.
remember the battle was a slow escalation over a long period of time as each side was feeling out the other… The japanese waited too long to reinforce after they started to pull out and lost the campaign.

I am not to familiar with the battle didn’t know if the UK had a hand in the pie or not.
How do you think players will employ additional troops into the battle? I ask b/c I got the impression that it would be diffrent then the traditional way the other A&A games have in the past.

My understanding is that it was US vs Japan … I didn’t know anything of any other nations involved in the battle.

this game will be cool as hell when it hits the shelves. I am glad it doesn’t come out until Sept. More time to play War at Sea Mini’s :evil:

New cruisers, Sweet, I hope they are Baltimore and Myoko or maybe Tone

“randomized casualties system”.
How will that work?

I’m completely guessing here. But it will likely be similar to Bulge. Stacking limit per hex. Combat strips. Each unit gets a number of attack die. 6 or less is a hit. Move the hits into the proper address box if 6 or less units or re-roll to get addresses if more than six. I think ships might take more than one hit but again I’m guessing.

I could see four players. One for US sea units, one for US land, one for Japanese land, and one for Japanese sea. They don’t have to stick to just two players. I would probably be a bit disappointed if they did.

I asked how many players b/c I know the Aussie’s were side by side with the US a lot in the pacific. So if it was three players It would be a lot like A&A D-Day.
