Anyone still play pacific as a stand alone?

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.

The original pacific by far was more fun and balanced (if you used 23 VC’s as Japan win).

Pacific 1940 is distorted because it was designed to be combined with Europe 1940, hence Japan is overpowered (to compensate for America having more money in Global).

I simply used the money from one of my previous A&A games. I prefer it for when I have left over from the previous turn.

I think it is a good game. Its pretty tough for the allies if the Japanese use the J1 attack tactic, but there are lots of ideas people have posted to fix that. Its required for global and I think that will be the best A&A yet.

i like to listen to Gunkan March when i play as the japanese. this is their naval march. easily found on youtube

I can’t say for sure, but my understanding is the ships are much larger and will have difficulty fitting.

Attached are 6 PDF screen shots - my setup in pictures.

If you can wait until tomorrow, I’ll explain it all in my next article about the rules.
