If UK or ANZAC strikes first at Japan, both of them will enter war with Japan but USA will stay out. USA has no appetite for war, and will only declare war on Japan at the end of Round 3 unless provoked. Europe is at war, and there is now a power vacuum in the French Indo-China and Dutch East Indies. Tension is mounting between Japan and the Allies - UK, ANZAC and USA. Japan is at war with China, having captured many of its coastal regions.
The game is about World War II in the Pacific theatre. I have only played less than half a game of AAP40, so here are some more-initial-than-first impressions. AAE40 ( Axis & Allies Europe 1940) just came out, and I'll definitely buy it eventually. AAP40 ( Axis & Allies Pacific 1940) came out last year, and I have recently bought it. When I heard the announcement that there would be updated versions of Axis & Allies Europe and Axis & Allies Pacific, and they would combine to become one big global Axis & Allies game, I had more-or-less already decided I would buy both games. I probably should arrange some kind of Axis & Allies month to play all of them one after another. Unfortunately despite owning so many games in the series, the only one that I have played more than a handful of times was the 1984 (global war) edition. The only games I didn't buy were Axis & Allies D-Day which didn't interest me, and Axis & Allies Spring 1942 which being a global game I felt wasn't necessary since I had the Anniversary Edition. Axis & Allies Revised), Axis & Allies Battle of the Bulge, Axis & Allies Guadalcanal, Axis & Allies Anniversary Edition, and now Axis & Allies Pacific 1940. I hope it wasn't.Īfter the 1984 version, I bought Axis & Allies Europe, Axis & Allies Pacific, Axis & Allies 2004 edition (a.k.a. I remember winning the game, but I'm not sure whether it was helped by any unfair rule lawyering. We were both completely new to this type of game.
I have completely lost touch with him but I somehow never forgot his name. I still remember the name of the colleague from India, Puneet Karla, who was my roommate during the training, whom I first played the game with. But the game indeed looked very impressive, so when I could buy it myself after having started work, I was quite excited. I guess even if they had, it would have been too complex for me. My only memory about that was my parents wouldn't buy it for me. I first encountered the game when I was much younger, around 1986. I have always been a big fan of the Axis & Allies series, since the 1984 Milton Bradley edition that I bought when on company training in USA, back in 1997.
