By 1943 Russia had 2-5 times as many tanks as germany on every front. 2-10 times as many planes. 2-5 times as many artillery pieces, and 2-5 times as many infantry units. Remember Germany had to send 15-20 % against the allies in the west. Norway, france, Homeland Germany, Denmark, and other occupied states, while as Russia had nearly all of its forces Against Germany since Japan was NEVER going to attack russia after it had previous battles against Russia and saw it was hopeless as well as Japan had its hands full against the other Allies. This is just Russia VS. Germany. The allies (UK, Canada, and US) had 10 times as many tanks as Germany and 10 times as many aircraft. Japan was equally screwed. US built over 100 Carriers in WW2. Japan had a total in the 20’s, but never at one time due to battle losses. The US built over 1,300 warships. Japan could never have handled this. No matter what you say the Axis had about a 5% chance to win WW2. this only if Moscow would have gotten taken, but if you read military history you will see that this probably wouldn’t have mattered anyway seeing as how Russia moved its factories back into Siberal in the Ural mountains region. Germany never could have taken Russia due to Russia’s huge size as well as huge manpower advantage, industrial advantage, only one front to deal with, and the fact that their front lines were in Russia meaning tanks and airplanes could drive and fly strait into the battle off the assembly line. While as Germany’s front lines in 1942 were far from Germany’s industry. If the game was ever played to history allies would win 98 percent of the time with two equally skilled players IMO. This is why the game is made to recreate history sort of, while being playable so that both sides have an equal chance of winning.

Awsome dude! very VERY much appreciated!!! :-D

The setup and NO charts are fabulous. I noticed one small problem with the UK setup chart. There is supposed to be 1 Infantry and 1 Fighter on Normandy/Bordeaux but it’s not on your UK Europe setup chart. I don’t know where you could cram it in because the UK chart is pretty full. Maybe on the last line over on the Pacific side?

Thanks for pointing that out knp7765!
I have made the changes and I replaced the original file.
Thanks!

Sorry :/ Btw you are awsome :p

I see what you’re talking about! Ummm…so I don’t have to change it again, we’ll just say that the NO’s for the USA are “all applied once at war”. :wink:

Man your FAST
That’s what the wife says :wink:
Thanks for the effort. looks nice -
Man, what a great job! Thanks!

-
thanks smiley boy :-D :mrgreen:

Great job. We will use these in our Alpha+2 game next week.

Hey just purchased the global game about 2 months ago and have just managed to play a global game 1 week ago. I have downloaded the Pacific errata and updates and picked bits and pieces up for Europe but im unclear on what this alpha+2 is with extra NO’s and starting positions, and differnet turn sequences. Are these official changes or are these to unofficial as to make the game more balanced. Sorry if this has been explained somewhere else but this seemed like the right thread to ask.
Cheers

Very cool, thank you.

These charts are proposed changes from Larry Harris and will most likely be in the next prints of Europe and Pacific.
Here is a link of the “out of the box” version:

Nope! Thanks for letting me know! I will have make the changes and re-post them on Monday as I don’t have the original files with me.

Here’s some setup cards I made for the Alpha +2. Not as nice as TwistedAries but it’s my small contribution.
-
Sorry to do this, but I just noticed 2 more omissions:
JAPAN
Kiangsi = 3 infantry, 1 artillery
SOVIET UNION
Ukraine = 3 infantry, 1 minor ICI find that last addition very interesting. Now Russia gets 4 ICs. On one hand, it will make it a little easier for Russia to get troops to the front. On the other hand, it could make it easier for Germany or Italy to build up for taking Stalingrad or even Moscow. Really looking forward to trying this new version out.
