A&A Pacific 40 “Fog of War” (2-Board Double Blind) Variant

Description

Both the Axis and Allied players will have their own boards (in separate rooms) set up as normal at the beginning of the game, and thus will have perfect knowledge of their enemies’ opening dispositions (pre-war security is apparently not that tight!). Setting up enemy dispositions is optional, but advised to keep track of their likely movements.

Axis players cannot enter the Allied room; Allied players cannot enter the Axis room. The facilitator can enter either at will. The facilitator must monitor the active player to ensure that all rules are obeyed during the various phases of their turn (special attention ought to be paid to the Purchase Units, Combat Move, Non-combat Move, and Collect Income phases to avoid miscalculations, as well as movement and placement errors).

Player symptoms include heightened tension, auto-glossolalia, and all-consuming paranoia.

Enjoy!

Great idea, Variable!

I do agree with Love, however, that tac bombers should only cost 3. They’re sitting ducks to air attacks without accompanying fighters.

Would be interested in seeing your take on how to best incorporate tanks into the game… Although I suspect that A:0 / S:0 / L:2 / Cost: 2 would be the best and easiest way to run it.

Mechanized Infantry really wouldn’t have any role in this battle system, unless they came up with non-island land territories. Which I hope they do! I’d love to see another game that used this system; it’s really innovative, would be great to see it resurface in sometime in the A&A family of games.

Heya, I live in Verdun and have most of the games, so if you’re cool with crossing the bridge maybe we can get our game on. PM me with your contact info and we’ll see when we’re both free. -MIR
