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

Cost was raised to encourage players to buy more diverse land forces.
Personally I found that the best way to encourage player to buy mixed land forces is to create a new unit thats 2-2-2-4 and can carry either an infantry or artillery but can’t blitz. I called this unit a “Mechanized Division”. All other units were kept at the same price. With this configuration land purchases became more interesting and almost always included 3-4 land unit types for germany (and also for russia and japan).

Yep, it’s definitely Siam and it is surrounded but it has a sea zone for an escape.
