Thanks @Stucifer, @SuperbattleshipYamato
& @Krieghund. I suspected that was the case but was really hoping it wasn’t.
Reprinting Pacific

corect spelling
This is what I’m dealing with…
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peleliu
Peleliu is an ISLAND/STATE under the nation Palau. Â READ and LEARN.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palau
Palau used to also be called Pelew, and wasn’t independant until 1978.
Thus, for the purposes of the game, the territory should be named, Peleliu as a reference to the BATTLE that was fought there.
Comprendhe?

Comprendhe. Chimps, take note and rename the game space Peleliu Island(s). Many thanks.

And while you’re at it, also please correct “Timguska” to “Tunguska”. The current spelling sounds like it’s a Tim Hortons coffee shop franchise located in Siberia.

Does anyone play Pacific with the 18 Russian Infantry on the map as
per Alpha 3.9? I did once knowing it would weaken Japan’s early Chinese attacks as I left Korea and Manchuria garrisoned. We then removed them on Turn 4 and released my(enforced )Japanese garrison and I did not invade the empty Russian territories. Obviously made my task harder (I lost), but both players agreed and we thought it true to history and realism. -
pacific 40 and europe 40 to be given 2nd edition treatment in september of this year!!
-
And my Manchuria garrison question will be resolved. Yea!
-
And if Pacific 1940 does get reprinted, can you please re-do the board as well, in order to correct the errors that are printed on the current version?
errors? :?
Well, there’s that weird thing with Western US, then there’s SZ6, then there’s Honolulu on the wrong island.
what weird thing with Western US?

The map has 2 Ipc values on it. I imagine the “50” will be removed in the reprint

oh that doesn’t bother me. I thought it was something major for a min

It doesn’t bother you that it’s incorrect? In neither aap40 or aag40 is wus worth 50 ipcs.

In Pacific stand alone it is worth 50 when at war with Japan.

@wittman:

that’s why I don’t have a problem with it.

Time to start debating which new sculpts are going to make the cut, methinks…
Obviously the Anti-Aircraft Artillery for each nation are auto-includes.
Tiger tanks for the Germans?
Russians get their new naval units?
Other thoughts…?

I don’t think german or the russians will get new pieces in the reprinting of the pacific game sorry. But a new Japanese tank or fighter would be nice. Bring back the Wildcat would also be cool.

LOL yup.
I guess since Europe 40 will be reprinted with this, or at least around the same time as this, I’m already thinking about the sculpt implications for Global 40, given the new pieces we’ve seen in recent releases.

oh i figured that but I was just being a smartass before someone took you serious. All of the units from '41 would be cool as long as it’s just the nation that’s suppose to have them. No Japanese Tigers No American IS-2s. That’s for Global '40 reprint of course.

Some indications of which new sculpts we can expect have been spoiled by the recently-released sales solicitation flyers.
Pacific 40 2nd ed: ‘Includes new ANZAC miniatures’… How much do you want to bet the new infantry sculpt will be wearing a bloody Tilley hat? What other unique units could they possibly be contemplating releasing? The Sentinel? :?

Actually, this re-release of 40 has made me start to really question the nature of my interest in the game:
If I buy this version, it will solely be to collect the new sculpts.*
I can’t fool myself into thinking “It’s a new puzzle to solve” or “I should support the continuing development of the series”.
In effect, Wizards is selling me the same game I bought two years ago, except this time the little men are wearing Tilley hats, and driving prettier cars.
(The set-up might be slightly different, but I could just download that online.)
And I’m still wrestling with myself about whether or not to buy it!
I oughta get my head examined…
- And, perhaps, as a way to better facilitate those occasional ‘Double-Blind’ fog of war matches that I greatly enjoy… Previously, I relied on photocopies of the board taped together, but this is obviously sub-optimal. Okay, now I’ve completely justified it to myself. ;)

There’s nothing irrational about that. I’ve bought multiple copies of most of the A&A games just for the added sculpts.

I want…
A corrected Western USA IPC number.
Honolulu on the correct island.
SZ6 borders corrected.
Kamikaze and Convoy symbols darkened for easier reading.
New Japanese mech infantry sculpts.
Mongolia to have 1 IPC value in two Mongolian spaces.…please.
