Panama , Mexico, Central US confusing

[Cuyahoga]

Is it just me or is it just strange that you can move from Central US, directly into Panama?

I mean wouldn’t it be more correct if the map was laid out so you would have to go through from Central US through Mexico first, before arriving in Panama?

So am I seeing this correct…one can travel directly from Central US into either …EUS, WUS, Eastern Canada, Mexico, or Panama

The names of all territories don’t necessarily conform accurately to actual geographical areas.

As far as I can see, you can not move from Central US into Mexico.  The lay out of the US territories has changed between Revised and 1942 - in Revised, Central US was on the rightmost pane of the board, now it’s on the leftmost pane.

Mexico and Central United States are not adjacent.

[Cuyahoga]

When you cross from the right edge to the left edge of the board….if you measure from a set reference point  (such as crease in the board) Central US overlaps Mexico…so are you saying that Territories are not like Sea Zones in that respect?

[Krieghund]

No, I’m saying that the territories were not intended to be adjacent.  This will be in the FAQ.

[Cuyahoga]

where are these FAQ?

I looked at the official AA web-site and they have them listed for 2004 and 1991 releases, but not the Spring AA 2009.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

[Krieghund]

It’s not there yet.  That’s why I said “will be”.

Krieghund, do have any idea when the A&A1942 FAQ will be made available? Is it still being collated? Thank you.

[Krieghund]

Hopefully, it will go up at the same time as the AAP40 one, which should be within the next month.
