@DoManMacgee Hi DMM & thanks for the response… Really appreciate that these forums have experienced players who weigh in on things. It was OOB with a 12 bid.
That’s pretty much what Japan did - eliminate the threats and take back the 2 islands as advantageously as possible while still consolidating the fleet. I was just surprised how long it then took for Japan to have any pressure westward. India, in spite of losing 2 men on the initial Kwangtung foray, stayed around for quite a while (minimal investment for a KGF).
What helped, no doubt, was that Russia traded unfavourably in the initial Caucasus strafe (dice game, lost 3 inf to Germany’s 2, and took W Russia at odds) and the Germans (rather than push hard back immediately), decided to save the Med fleet with a carrier. This made the Egypt / Africa game interesting, but maybe a different buy on G1 and the Germans win sooner. Always tough to say.
But, as many have pointed out here, the Axis have such a strong start in this game it was nice to have a hotly contested battle!
Japanese Missed Bombers
-
Hi im from Türkiye and i am a huge fan A&A but getting A&A is too hard from here. It takes several weeks.
Last day i have bought 1942 2nd edition but when i control the pieces i saw there are some missed pieces. Japan has got 2 less bombers and they have got 4.
What should i do? -
Hi and welcome. As strange as it sounds, you aren’t missing pieces. Not all powers have the same number of units, and Japan only gets 4 bombers in the box. If you want more there are places to order pieces online, such as historicalboardgaming.com, though I’m not sure if they ship to every country. I don’t have any issues with running out of pieces in this game though. Hope you enjoy it!

Thanks for answer. I knew that historical board gaming because i have 1941 too and i tried to get more chips and units for it. 17$ shipping cost is too expansive but yes, they are shipping everywhere.
