i like to play pacific 1940 2nd ed with my friend a lot but he always kicks my ass as the allies. both of us have the same amount of experience in the game having played pacific against each other about 3 times. every time i get bogged down in china due to the massive amounts of Chinese infantry, my navy gets destroyed by Americas in every single operation and and by the time uk gets to china and the anzac starts island hopping, its over. does anyone have any tips or strategy i could try out to help me or maybe a video that could explain how exactly i could try to pull off a victory? thanks :)

Hi,
It looks like the 2nd edition rulebooks for AA 1940, both Europe and Pacific, contain the AA Global 1940 rules at the end, with only “minor” game mechanics differences vs. Europe or Pacific (as most Global aspects pertain to managing the merging or expansion from one theater of war to the Global situation).
Is it therefore a fair approach to look for good explanations of AA Global 1940 to understand Europe or Pacific ?
I totally love Board Game Nation’s wonderful series of tutorials on AA, https://youtu.be/IKyWaC0vrtM, because they give detailed examples with dice throws which are very didactic, but they cover 1942 2nd edition, and it appears that there are differences (for instance, strategic bombers get a +2 on strategic raids in 1940, but not in 1942 (at least BGN’s topic on raids doesn’t apply +2 in their example…), and air battle prior to bombing is with 1 attack AND defense in 1942 while interceptors get 2 as defense in 1942. This makes strategic bombing MUCH less efficient in 1942…)
