@Panther, thanks, that link is gold, I hadn’t found it in the “axis-allies-rules-pacific1940-corrections-faqs.pdf” (Feb 1, 2010), but now I see it’s also there, p3:
" Q. Are the Canadian territories (Yukon Territory and British Columbia) controlled by the United
Kingdom?
A. Yes."

Where are you from?
Hi, I’m Michel, living in the Netherlands. Mostly boardgaming and rp-ing the last 20 yrs, but have been a fanatic wargamer in my youth.

What Axis & Allies games do you like to play?
I own Pacific 1940 since about 10yrs, and unboxed it tonight :cold_sweat: only, to discover it as solitaire during the holidays. Main reason is no friend available or interested to play such long games.

How often do you play?
Well, I’m discovering the game, so that’s that. Not played any other wargame for years, played ASL, a lot of tactical games - Napoleonic to more recent - before the advent of computer or online games, e.g. Air Force, Dauntless, Submarine, Ambush!, The Great Patriotic War, Napoleon’s Last Battles, Panzerblitz, and more recently Britannia and the more abstract, less wargamy Shogun.

Do you use any customizations (tables, painted pieces) or house rules?
Nope, got to discover the game first… feel quite daunted at the complexity of the “open field”, infinite options, and “unit purchases”

After having read the rules and looked in vain for real-time recordings of games of Pacific 1940 2nd edition to get a realistic feel of how it all works, I am still confused… :anguished:

Glad I found this community and look forward to check game logs and other sources…

@The-Captain , thanks for letting me know !
I’m in Eindhoven. By US standards, close, by Dutch less so.

Let’s see :blush:
First I have to find my way through the forum and understand how to find archived games and view them :grimacing:
