MOVED: Addressing AAP40 Game Balance: "So Easy, A Caveman Can Do It"

@special:

@Dark_Destroyer:

How the heck do you get your Transports from Japan all the way down to Phil….  and Caroline Transports all the way to Java on J1 ???
Last time I looked transports only move at a 2…

There’s this great new thing called Naval bases.  You’ll like it :)

(same for airbases)

wow… understatement to say the least that was a huge oversight on my part >_>;;

You seem to have it all correct. Your planes can not hit the subs because you do not have a destroyer in the battle. Japan may not remove them as a casualty, if you hit with your planes.

The Japanese subs also don’t get to shoot, if all you have fighting in the naval portion of this attack are planes.

@jim010:

I amphibiosly attack Philipines.  There is a transport in the sea zone.  My BBs can ignore the transport and do shore bombardment, while I hit the transport with planes and/or other ships?

No.  If you attack the transport, everything attacks it.  You can either kill it or bombard, not both.

@jim010:

While I have your attention, can I build a minor factory on a zone worth 1 IPC?

No.

@oztea:

they will relese AA50th aniversery after europe in 2011-12

it will be dubbed “Axis and Allies: Advanced” or something like that

with all the new stuff, and basicly a AA50 board with a 2 territory australia and mech and tacs and some other stuff, ports and ABs maybe

$149.99 USD

they arent making another theatre game anytime soon……

Maybe it will be short of set up pieces like AAP1940. And the set up and rule book will be incorrect like AAP1940. And no IPCs or reference cards like AAP1940.

Can you put this download on Mediafire, because frankly to wait 60 seconds and have to listen to some women explain me some sales pitch is a bit daunting.

Mediafire.com is fast and has no hassles.

@Gargantua:

Just use RED bombers from the first Pacific as Tac bombers. The scale is right, and it makes distinguishing them in the field ALOT easier.  Helpful, considering they are a new unit, and to be effective require alot of movement Maximization.

As for Complex’s I was just going to use old ones. and paint some with RED paint, or put a RED chip under the Major complexes

you can also use 6 RED fgt’s in Japan from original pacific for Kamikazies.

NO cutting, and NO cost involved.  Unless you weren’t a REAL fan, and didn’t but the Pacific copy that had red pieces.

Great Idea, best idea next to the minatures.  I’m going to bust out my copies of the Old Pacific.  Thanks Gargantua!!!

That is awesome, I just did not realize that they had already gotten past the preliminary stages with AAE40.

That’s workable. Anything would be better then 1 DD see’s everything right out of the box. You could even house rule something like that into AA50, just make it part of the radar tech. 1 for 1 until you get advanced radar(tech) then 1 DD see’s all subs. Its even kinda how the radar tech works. You fire AA guns @ 1 until you develop radar giving your AA guns a kill @ 2. Early in the game subs could easily out number DD’s, but you would still get limited detection. I might have to try this next game.

This would also work when air units & DD attack subs. Matched up 1 for 1. Excess subs would be allowed to submerge, unless the power w/DD & air units also has radar. At that point subs could not submerge til the DD is destroyed, just how it is now

Come on give subs more bite! :evil:
