MOVED: Axis & Allies: Europe and Pacific 1940 Fact sheet ( AAE40 and AAP40)

Thank you so much for this update. That thread is one I’ve been following behind the scenes for years. I can’t believe Larry Harris didn’t do more to improve this stand alone game.

I doubt it, but I guess it doesn’t hurt to try.

You make a lot of typo’s for a nitpicker  :-D

They dont compare at all we play a lot of ALPHA+2 and its a great game.  We also about once a month when we go for a second game we’ll do the older games A.A. Pacfic & Europe those games are awsome games that layed down the base fort the latter games.  AsJapan can you get the 22$ ? what Island do you fail to take? how early do they start Bombing you? how many ones did the Allies roll on the opening round? They seem more do or die, oops I for got to say how well are you rolling?  You have to do this or its all over or you have to do this to get that more cut throat.  Less grand strategy there is no recovering from a bad round.  there also quicker to play and there are less rules and situations
  I love them both if I had to choose I would look at how much time I had and how many players are avalible
  All nite and 4+ players ALPHA+ 2 or 3.5, less than 4 players and limited time    any one of the older ones or even the ORIGINAL their all great in their own way

I don’t see how Japan could ever loose unless the dice are god aweful. With Russia not there as a threat and US making significantly less money in the pacific. How does Japan loose, even with the new Alpha 3 setup?

Here’s a link to the charts for all 3 1940 games.

This is a great place.  It has helped rekindle my interest in A&A.  I seem to be generally returning to board games (especially “conquor the world” types) after many years diverted into miniatures gaming.

My thanks also to all you who have played so many games and know the answers to questions and offer help so freely.

Since they happen on two different turns, they can do both.
