They dont compare at all we play a lot of ALPHA+2 and its a great game. We also about once a month when we go for a second game we’ll do the older games A.A. Pacfic & Europe those games are awsome games that layed down the base fort the latter games. AsJapan can you get the 22$ ? what Island do you fail to take? how early do they start Bombing you? how many ones did the Allies roll on the opening round? They seem more do or die, oops I for got to say how well are you rolling? You have to do this or its all over or you have to do this to get that more cut throat. Less grand strategy there is no recovering from a bad round. there also quicker to play and there are less rules and situations
I love them both if I had to choose I would look at how much time I had and how many players are avalible
All nite and 4+ players ALPHA+ 2 or 3.5, less than 4 players and limited time any one of the older ones or even the ORIGINAL their all great in their own way
Automated Excel Spreadsheet for AAP40 Banking
-
I’ve attached an Excel 2007 Macro-enabled spreadsheet that I use for banking in AAP40. It keeps track of income, bonuses, purchases, turn order etc – basically anything the banker would otherwise have to write down. This forum won’t let me attach a .XLSM spreadsheet, so I renamed it .XLS, you’ll have to add the ‘M’ to the end once you save it to your computer.
I don’t know if you guys will use it, but it helps with calculating purchase costs, remember numbers, and settling the “I had 2 left over!” kinds of arguments that seem to pop up in the later stages of the game.
There’s two steps to using it:
1. Enter the number of each type of unit you’re purchasing in Column K
2. Hit Ctrl-P to ring the purchase through (if you make a mistake, you can void purchases by entering a negative number in Column K and hitting Ctrl-P)
3. When the turn is over, adjust the incomes/bonus of each country up and down.
4. Hit Ctrl-T to advance the turn.
6. Remember to subtract convoy damage from your bank after hitting Ctrl-T

Yea I made a banking program for my ti-83 graphing calc. All I need to do is enter the numbers for spent Ipcs and collected ipcs. It will even keep track of the total ipcs spent and recieved. If I had a USB to calc cable I would post here but I don’t.
