RE: Amazon is shipping
It just arrived by UPS! Â Mine also said that on Tuesday I would see it Oct 24th. Then on Wed I got a shipped notification. Â I’m a prime member so 2-day is automatic. Â I’m in Georgia so not sure if that has anything to do with it.

RE: WD ideas for 42.2
Thanks taamvan, Great point - I definitely do not want to over engineer the process, which I have a tendency to do. My thought was to still have the option of chance and after getting the necessary research, which I feel should be the most difficult part. A player would still have to roll our friend d6 to see what they get in tier 1 or tier 2. Using cards sound interesting? Is there a youtube or discussion thread about cards? This is why this forum is spectacular as it generates ideas and concepts. Thanks again!!!

WD ideas for 42.2
So because we don’t always have a weekend to play G40 I have been working on beefing up 42.2 with WD. I have to say the ideas from GH, YG and DK on incorporating WD in a manner that does not require significant IPC’s and off the charts luck are very intriguing and thoughtful. Obviously some if not many of these concepts used in G40 will not transfer to 42.2. I liked GH idea of placing research tokens around the board, this is something that I believe can be accomplished. The question is how to incorporate a second research token (or some other type of requirement) as there are no victory objectives per se in 42.2. I had a thought to randomly scatter research tokens around the IPC board requiring a country to actually land on that IPC value. This way you will have to be thinking about how many you need to land on that IPC value exactly. I would like to hear from players that have incorporated different concepts to bring WD into play on 42.2. I know in the past whether or not there was WD in a game it was hardly ever used as the cost and luck to obtain was prohibitive. Thanks in advance. I would also like to say that I am very impressed and humbled at the incredible amount of imagination and passion for this game that I see from players on this forum and in youtube. Ladies and Gentlemen keep it up!!!

RE: AA50 reprint?
Ordered mine, very exciting! I figured either the 9/22 was a guess by someone or maybe it was an original estimated release that has changed. Or maybe, Amazon gets theirs after the initial release to give time to smaller localized game companies to get their sales in before Amazon blasts the game world wide.

Glad to see some one playing this again
After playing G40 and 1914 for awhile now. Sometimes I get nostalgic and dust off the 1986 A&A, Revised and Spring 42 1st edition, normally beer is involved. We just played this pacific game and I have to say we had a blast and it doesn’t take a weekend. I like the red japan mini’s as it give me another color army in case we decide to modify another game and add a country or something. It’s really amazing how all the A&A games seem to stand the test of time.

Sub and Air
Over the weekend we played a game and we seemed to talk ourselves into confusion of how aircraft interact with subs in combat. So I have 2 scenarios that I’m sure can be answered.
First hypothetical battle does not include DD on either side. Attacker has aircraft carrier with 2 fighters and a cruiser. Defender has cruiser, 2 subs. Obviously the subs have their first strike option and takes them with no hits. Attacker rolls for cruiser and 2 fighters and gets 3 hits. So what is the out come? Can the defender decide to take out the cruiser with the hit from the attackers cruiser and the 2 subs remain since the other 2 hits are from fighters? Or is the defender obligated to take a fighter hit on the cruiser and take the hit from the cruiser on one of the subs? Of course the defender did not decide to submerge.
Second is the same above except the cruisers are now DD’s. I gather that the planes can target the subs so long as there is a DD on the battle board. Also, what if the DD is destroyed in the first round of combat do you continue into the 2nd round of combat as if the DD was still there or since it is gone now subs cannot be spotted so fighter hits do not count.
Hopefully this makes sense. I know if I just sat down and thought about it, I might be able to rationalize these concepts. However, I would rather have the experts confirm.
Thanks in advance for your help.
