Hi,

It looks like the 2nd edition rulebooks for AA 1940, both Europe and Pacific, contain the AA Global 1940 rules at the end, with only “minor” game mechanics differences vs. Europe or Pacific (as most Global aspects pertain to managing the merging or expansion from one theater of war to the Global situation).

Is it therefore a fair approach to look for good explanations of AA Global 1940 to understand Europe or Pacific ?

I totally love Board Game Nation’s wonderful series of tutorials on AA, https://youtu.be/IKyWaC0vrtM, because they give detailed examples with dice throws which are very didactic, but they cover 1942 2nd edition, and it appears that there are differences (for instance, strategic bombers get a +2 on strategic raids in 1940, but not in 1942 (at least BGN’s topic on raids doesn’t apply +2 in their example…), and air battle prior to bombing is with 1 attack AND defense in 1942 while interceptors get 2 as defense in 1942. This makes strategic bombing MUCH less efficient in 1942…)

@Wilson2:

The Canadian roundels are just for aesthetics - Larry said so.

Went thru the Global facts thread and I can’t see him saying that they’re only there for looks.

I’m pretty sure BILL is right. Japan will be able to take the Dutch colonies without consequence. Otherwise there would be nothing neutral (except China) for Japan to attack and no need to keep the US out of the war for the first few turns.
