[The Chaplain]

Why is this setup for Japan (for example) so different than the out of box setup for Japan?

@BobbyZAvi

Now… there’s a good chance I don’t have the right version, I got mine in 2011 and it’s the 2010 versions of Axis and Allies Pacific and Europe. If there’s been a rulebook revision since then I’m just wasting my time :)

[Young Grasshopper]

@BobbyZAvi
Are you sure you’re refrencing 2nd edition and not 1st edition?.. the Japan setup seems fine.

[Young Grasshopper]

@Panther
It looks fine to me.

[The Chaplain]

@Young-Grasshopper yup, I must not have second edition… I’m sorry!!! Definitely wasted my time typing that out then 🤣🤣🤣

[The Chaplain]

@Young-Grasshopper I sincerely apologize for that dude… my bad

[Panther]

@BobbyZAvi
Indeed, 2nd Edition was issued in 2012 and superseded 1st edition.
Anyway now that you know that enjoy discovering the changes that came with 2nd edtion .
Have fun :slightly_smiling_face:

[The Chaplain]

@Panther does the 2nd edition set up strengthen or weaken Japan? It ‘feels’ like they’re weaker in the revision. Anyone test play this?

[Panther]

@BobbyZAvi
It is not only the setup that has changed, but many aspects of the ruleset as well. Consider 2nd edition as being a different game. Just download and read the rulebooks and you will see.

The further development of the rules started back in late 2010 with the so-called Alpha rulesets, that were the predecessors of the 2nd ed. rules.

[The Chaplain]

@Panther I found the 2nd edition PDFs, I’ll take a look! Thanks!!

[Dylan Johnson]

@Young-Grasshopper I know this is not related to the setup by my calculations the U.K (Europe side) should have 29 IPC’s

@Dylan-Johnson said in A&A 1940 Global 2nd Edition - Setup Charts and Components List:

@Young-Grasshopper I know this is not related to the setup by my calculations the U.K (Europe side) should have 29 IPC’s

28 for UK Europe and 17 for UK Pacific is correct according to the rulebook(s) and because of:
“The Pacific economy includes all of the territories controlled by United Kingdom on the Pacific map. Calcutta is its regional capital. There are two exceptions to this regional division. West India, on the Europe map, is part of the Pacific economy, and the North American territories on the Pacific map are part of the Europe economy.”

[Dylan Johnson]

@Panther Ok, but from what i see on the Second Edition board U.K Europe has 8 IPC’s earned in Mainland Europe, 6 in North America, 12 in Africa and 3 for Asia. (just Trans Jordan and West India) If we add this up we get 29 IPC’s not 28 IPC’s

@Panther just said, in part: “West India, on the Europe map, is part of the Pacific economy”. If you add up 8 for Europe, 6 in North American, 12 in Africa, and 2 for Asia (2 for Trans Jordan and 0 for West India, as West India is a part of the UK Pacific economy in the Global game), that does indeed add up to 28.

-Midnight_Reaper

[Dylan Johnson]

@Midnight_Reaper Wait I’m confused, Trans-Jordan is worth 2 IPC’s I only see it worth 1 on my map, and I thought that West India was shared between the Europe and Pacific Economies

[barnee]

Hi Dylan

yea Trans-Jordan is only a buck. West India doesn’t get split. All dough goes to India.

[Dylan Johnson]

@barnee Ok now that that has been settled how does U.K London get 28 not 27 as 8+6+12+1 is 27

Because, as @Panther already said: “There are two exceptions to this regional division. West India, on the Europe map, is part of the Pacific economy, and the North American territories on the Pacific map are part of the Europe economy.”

The relevant part has been bolded for emphasis. In exchange for giving West India (and its 2 IPCs) to the UK Pacific side of the board, UK Pacific give UK Europe Western Canada (and its 1 IPC). So the North American money for UK Europe is not 6, it’s 7. 8+7+12+1=28.
