Normandy Invasion was in first, but in the end could only muster fourth place at the Kentucky Derby. The owners of said horse had feelings very similar to those of us who ever dare to play Allies in G40. We, too, always feel like we could have won but instead finish in fourth place. Just sayin. ;)
Bad luck

Well, I played AAP the other night as Japan, and it was the worst ass-whipping I ever had the misfortune to endure. We have had Japan winning so often, we have started bidding victory points to see who is Japan. So I had to get to 27 VP to win. Never got close. The first turn was disasterous, unprecedentedly disaterous. I lost 4 fighters, failed to take Malaya, failed to take midway, and the American phillipine sub survived to do much damage. Couldn’t roll a dice under a 4 to save my life, and the allies were throwing ones like mad. We could have just packed the game up after that first turn, it was all over.
I guess that’s why I prefer AAP to the other versions though. No two games have turned out the same way yet.
Just thought I’d vent on a painful experience. Miserable.

Things like that just prove that Japan can’t always win by victory points and that aap isn’t all that boring to play

I carry two sets of dice when my luck turns bad. AND NO THEY ARE NOT WEIGHTED!
