Larry Harris 3.0 Setup Cards for Printing.

Here are some new setup cards that I think ended up better than the original cards that came with the game. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

For those who do not know, There were errors with the IPC values on some of the cards. I got tired of trying to remember which ones, so I created new cards. Here they are. They are slightly larger than the original by .25 inch.

If you find any errors let me know, at least I’ll fix mine. :grin:

Greeting from HK player…  Enjoy the new set up and let us know what you think…

That is interesting. For AA50 I though the 6 IPC tank would benefit Russia as personally I only build one and very rarely two tanks with Russia per turn where with Germany I would build three to four tanks per turn. I was hoping the 1IPC increase would balance the game a bit more as I think now it favors the Axis.

For AA42.2 and AA50 I think the introduction of the Mech. Infantry would tilt the advantage towards the Axis. We haven’t tried it yet but when we do time will tell.

For Tactical Bombers I don’t think there is an advantage or disadvantage for both sides.

For AA50 what would you change the Mechanized Infantry technology if MIs are included in the game? Or should it stay the same?

Thanks for the prompt reply ! I am going to do a playtest with the setup I made based on the 1941 scenario of aa50.  I’ll be starting that tonight I will post to let you know the results.

Sounds cool. I just hate separating up my games to do so. I thought about cannibalizing my AAP40 first edition for Canadians. … then again there’s alaways HBG

When Pacific 1940 2nd edition came out, with its distinctive sculpt shapes for the ANZAC forces, I took the nation-specific storage box in which I had stored the 1st edition’s “ANZAC” sculpts (the butternut-grey British units) and I changed the box label to “Canada”.  The single change I made to the box contents is that I transferred a few of the 2nd edition ANZAC anti-aircraft guns to the Canadian inventory since that sculpt type wasn’t in the 1st edition.  The colour matches, so they don’t look out of place.

TY Marc! I have no hope of ever getting an AAE40-1stEd so your idea sounds great! Thanks Brother!

Good. That is cleared up then.

Not to be a complete nerd, but this just reminds me of the old Death Star problem:  the engineers probably told the defense coordinators they were placing a venting shaft directly out of the reactor, and when the defense coordinators complained to the general contractor, the general contractor blew them off citing cost overruns that would occur if they put a simple angel in the shaft line so proton torpedoes couldn’t dive straight down. Really?

Avalon Hill can’t spare one person looking fresh at all the game components before they go out to make sure they, like, add up?  Really?
