• I went with Pacific not because I think it’s better to buy firts per se but simply because I prefer that game.  The only game I’d played previous was 1942, and I always lamented that the Pacific theater was more of a placeholder and no action among the isles was needed.  1940 answered that well.  I find the gameplay in Pacific to allow for a lot more creativity and options.

    Europe is much more forgiving for new players, and supports 5 people simultaneously. You also have a 2v2 or 3v2 dynamic in the Atlantic, so everyone has a teammate, whereas in the Pacific it’s Everyone vs. 1. Less fun for me at least, especially as a beginner.

    I voted Europe like a week ago, but I figured I’d actually post since so many people are suggesting Pacific.


  • The poll shows that Europe is preferred.

  • In my opinion Europe is better for a first choice. In my opinion there are simply more strategies and options for either side than Pacific. It can be a completely different game every time. It’s also good if there are more than one players that want to play axis.

    Note: I’ve only ever played Europe on its own about 3 times, and I’ve never played Pacific on its own I usually play global.


  • I voted pacific I think it is a more fun game.

    However, Europe is the game that is most similar to all the other axis-games ever made. In most axisgames the conventional visdom is Kill germany first. That means making a transporbridge to get the american troops to mainland europe. Then it is usually a race between killing germany and japan killing russia.

    In europe 1940, you basically play KGF scenario.
