@clamoxyl Welcome to the forum.
Have you looked at https://boardgamegeek.com/ ?
Good luck.
last time i checked, tac bombers can land on carriers
yes they can!!
Beautiful! Thanks for the responses. I was looking at the map for the pacific, and I noticed that japan could not strategic bomb the western USA in 1940, where as, in the 1942 version, you can take over midway, bomb western usa, and then back to midway. Threat of Tac bombers may be good.
It so would have been nice if there was that added flexibility with the mech infantry being able to transport one or two more units of infantry with them. Would have put a really nice spin to the game.
4 Tactical bombers in Japan
3 Fighters in New Zealand
3 Fighters in India
1 Bomber 1 Fighter in the Philipenes.
And that’s just what I can see initially!
Seems like those AA guns will be getting a lot of use!
And the Flying Tigers are out of range for a Japanese first-strike too!
see if you can get the setups reposted for all players. I have a hard time seeing the details.
I know people want to know whats is going on and these pictures are not so good. ( but better than what we had before)
Hi!
These pictures are really nice, as the game!!
But sth is wrong, on the ANZAC set up (from the picture) you can see that there is Major IC in New South Wales, but the value of this territory is 2, comparing it to the info from fact sheet, Major IC can be built on a territory with value 3 or higher.
Am I wrong?
Looks like this one is going to be great, I cannot wait until its release! Thanks for the pics
Only one question: is possible land units from Japan to Alaska in the same turn? (and viceversa). I see a Aleutian islands teritory, but borders of that sea zone are not clear
With so big map and splitting of Canada (yeeeeees!), ignore Japan strat in global game is totally dead anyway, but it would be good add more salt to the wound :wink:
Thoughts:
Overal, some complaints about cheapness of some materials but gameplay seems will go well. We need play some games to see if it’s balanced (a improvement from AA50). In general, gets let’s say 8/10 :-)
@Danger:

Yeah, I know. I was too tired after work and dinner last night to do anything. I’ll see what I can do this morning. I won’t be able to photo everything tho; it will have to be a multi-part preview.
Also, I have my game lined up for Sunday. You’ll have to wait for setup pics until then.
@Imperious:

Stay tuned, I’m uploading a few photos now.
Here are the latest photos.

The original size (when you click on a photo) should be large enough to read all of the text.
I was having trouble photographing the map so I’ll work on that tomorrow.
Thanks for the preview article. Are we to expect a new preview article every day or so till the 15th?
Also do the container boxes used for the units only have one section unlike AA50 which has three sections in each unit container box?
Thanks for all the info.
:-o Just finished reading the first preview! :-D
Words fail me……OMFG!
OMFG!
If the Europe version is even half as good as what i have just seen?
Then>>>>> OH MY FING GOD!!!
AWSOME, SIMPLY FING AWSOME!
I got two copies on order now and i cant wait to play this mutha!
The new pieces look badass!
Larry and all those involved deserve a hugh slap on the back for a job well done!

Caroline Islands: 1 infantry, 1 aa gun, 1 airbase, 1 naval base

Okinawa: 1 inf, 1 fight
Palau: 1 inf
Kiangsa: 1 inf, 1 fighter, 1 tac bomber, 1 bomber
Shantung: 1 inf
Siam: 2 inf
Zone 6: 1 sub, 2 destroyers, 2 AC with a fighter and tac bomber each, 1 cruiser, 1 battleship, 2 transports
Zone 19: 1 sub, 1 destroyer, 1 cruiser
Zone 33: 1 destroyer, 1 AC with a fighter and tac bomber, 1 battleship, 1 transport

I’m having some trouble identifying the tac bomber, but the truck are easy to identify!
good job
