Oztea's 1942 Global Setup


  • Following victory after victory, the German war machine pushes onward. Deep thrusts cut into the heart of the Soviet Union, threatening vital points across a broad front. Industrial centers such as Moscow and Leningrad are besieged, as the German army prepares an offensive to cross the Volga and conquer the oil fields to the south. The United Kingdom, ally to the Soviets, finds itself being strangled by a fleet of German U-boats, marauding the North Atlantic and sinking vital supplies from the Empire. Worse yet, the Japanese Empire has declared war on the western allies, and struck at the American Navy in a sneak attack at Pearl Harbor. In the chaos, their empire has expanded and absorbed the various colonies in the South Pacific. Their forces have pushed themselves to the limit, but now threaten bastions of western power such as India and Australia. The war has become global, and the great powers must engage in a total war, for the world stands on a razors edge, will the Axis war machine roll onward to triumph? Or can the allied powers stem the tide, and push back the enemies of the free world? The year is 1942, and the world is at war.

    Alpha +3 (2nd Edition) Rules are in effect, All National Objectives and special rules.
    Politically, the game begins as if it were the FIFTH turn. All powers follow any relevant restrictions. (Neutrality, etc)

    Special Rule for Soviet naval units: Soviet Pacific naval units must remain adjacent to original Soviet territory while the Soviet Union is considered neutral in the Pacific Theater.

    As the war dragged on, breakthroughs in military technology changed the face of warfare. As an optional rule, some powers start with, or will gain automatic access to certain technologies on certain game turns. All players must agree to use the optional package. Research attempts can be made normally by all powers, re-roll as normal if you already have the indicated breakthrough. You gain access to these breakthroughs before the Research and Development phase on the indicated turn.

  • US infantry in share DNG with japs?


  • Whoops….supposed to be new guinea. Thanks


  • Also added a US sub in SZ 1 and forgot to place US units in SZ 25 1 Sub, 1 Destroyer


  • Ok, Its about done, I could not make a french aa, so i gave them a UK aa since UK goes right after and AA guns are not used in attacking.

    Global 1942 Oztea Setup 2nd Edition 4-09-2013.tsvg


  • Edit mode didn’t let you add a french AA?
    (the file I downloaded has a French AA in Syria)


  • You file helped me correct some errors. There are NOT supposed to be UK ships in 106 (my mistake)
    And Germany is supposed to have units in Tobruk


  • You also incorrectly have 2 german mech infantry in west germany



  • There will be some small tweaks coming late tonight. Mostly for the allies, perhaps 6 more soviets and an anzac unit or two


  • Some minor tweaks were made for initial balance.


  • can you bold the changes next time?

    Global 1942 Oztea Setup 2nd Edition 4-09-2013.tsvg


  • Well most of the first batch of changes were mistakes or omissions on my part from the original setup.

    Any further balance related changes will be either underlined, italicized or in color.


  • Another batch of changes, mostly units given to Russia and UK. Sadly, too many to highlight in the main text so I had to copy/paste from the word file again.
    Sorry to not hold to my word.

    The changes were
    +1 tank & fighter AMUR
    +1 infantry, NENESETIA, URALS, SAKHA
    +2 AA NOVGOROD
    +2 AA RUSSIA, +1 tank, mech, arty RUSSIA
    +2 infantry VOLGOGRAD
    +2 infantry TAMBOV and ROSTOV
    +1 arty Egypt
    +1 infantry and tac bomber UNITED KINGDOM
    +1 Fighter QUEBEC
    +1 AA gun SCOTLAND
    -1 arty NEW GUINEA

    To make it easy on you I touched up the setup file myself, should be 100% accurate.

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

    thx.

    Of course… Greg Smorey wants to convince everyone, that alternate setups were his idea.

    I know the truth Oz…


  • @Gargantua:

    thx.

    Of course… Greg Smorey wants to convince everyone, that alternate setups were his idea.

    I know the truth Oz…

    If you bother to read the post Krieghund just made in the other thread, you will see that is not true.


  • I really like your 1941 and 1942 setup for Global AA, allot of action in all places.

    But we played your 1942 setup 2 times now, and it seems that Russia falls to easy and to quick. In the first round Germany takes out Novgorod and in the seccond round it centers its forcess in Bryansk and in the third it powers in to Russia. And it seems Russia can’t do a thing to stop it. Besides this Germany has also taken out Egypt that also can’t be hold for the allies.

    The pacific side is more balanced I think, It must not be to difficult to take out India for Japan, but Sydney and Honolulu are well protected and give the allies a change to push the japanese back.

    But we find that when Russia and Egypt fall the game is pretty much already over for the allies, after 3 rounds of play and there is not much to change this…

  • Customizer

    I just noticed some starting income errors:
    Japan = 57 IPCs, NOT 56
    United Kingdom (Europe) = 35 IPCs, NOT 36
    Italy = 14 IPCs, NOT 13

    Also 1 setup error. You have a Minor IC on New Zealand. New Zealand is an island and ICs can not be built on islands. Should put the IC on Queensland.


  • The NZ minor is not an error, it wasn’t built there, in my setup it starts there.
    Just like japan is an island, the IC starts there, isn’t built there.

    I have been considering giving ANZAC an airbase in Western Australia so US fighters can move to India to protect it (its getting steamrolled)
    And perhaps a few more land units for ANZAC (+2 or +3 Infantry)


  • The issue of a weak Russia and weak Egypt will be addressed.

    CHANGE LOG
    +2 Infantry Caucasus
    +2 Tanks, +2 Mech Infantry Russia
    +2 Fighters Novgorod

    +1 Infantry UK Egypt
    +1 Artillery ANZAC Egypt
    +1 French Infantry Egypt

    +1 Infantry, +1 Mech Infantry, +1 Fighter, +1 Airbase Western Australia
