Nominations for A&A Pacific Strategies

Rule number 1 does look like it might be good to include.

@groovyarmada:

Hi, a number of years ago I used to play AA Pacific (2001 version) via the now defunct website: days-of-infamy.com. We used Motcreations mapview and the map looked identical to the actual printed gameboard. I have looked around and cannot find the original map for this version of Aixs & Allies for Mapview or Triple A, is it still in circulation? Is there a club for playing the original AA Pacific?

Cheers

Groovy.

I probably dumped 40 hours into (re)making that map from the low-quality one that was made available by AH.

I’m sure you can play AAP via MapView here if you want to.

Wow!  I am flattered!  Thanks for the vote of confidence on the articles.  Really, I prepared the essays hoping to get more players interested in the game, so that I would have more opponents.

I still have 1 or 2 more essays ideas to finish but have been too busy to complete it.  I’ll try to get to the last ones in the next few weeks.

Taken, but not held.

This is a very easy strategy for Japan

Every turn, buy Transports, infantry and subs.
Do not buy very many subs, and make sure you have enough men to fill most of your transports.

On your first turn, attack the Dutch East Indies and the philipines. Attack pearl harbour and the carrier @ Samoa. move your battleship from the caroline islands to protect your carriers. Use any unused transports to reinforce French Indo-China and Siam.

From then on reinforce Korea, Shangtung, Manchuria, the philipines, and Japan with the infantry that you are buying.

You will recieve several VP the first few turns but then you will end up at 1 per turn as the us gets more involved.

Wait out for the rest of the game until your @ 22VP

No. China is played like a completly different nation with the same turn as the US. Since the Chinese have no income there is nothing to take away.

seems like Japan is the only country in pacific that needs strategies.

Usually I try to take over what IPCs I can, and hold the UK convoy zones. Strat bombing helps too.
