I used to play this version often some time ago… I might remember wrong but I think Germany is strong enough to take down Russia alone some times, just because Germany is so strong at the beginning and sometimes one less than average dice result would kill Russia early. It doesn’t mean Allies can’t hold but it’s tough the first 8 rounds for Allies. Once passed this threshold the chance of Allies victory improves over time typically…
Finally! Non-Moscow Axis victory! Do the Allies stand a chance?

@Most:
And on the back of the book it should read in huge font: this book is most likely filled with enormous and unforgivable errors. Please visit WotC.com/forums/wescrewedupagainbecauseweonlycareaboutMtG/ for how to REALLY play the game.
You can say what you want. I just report it. I didn’t write them…

Never said you did.

I’m confused on how long you need to hold the 9th city for, for example if Japan takes India for the 9th city do the Axis win after US turn or do you need to hold it for a complete turn back to Japan’s next turn to win?
-
At the end of the current round (after the end of the US player’s turn) which would be the end of entire round of play.

Damn, I think Global 1940 is the other way and I assumed 1942 was the same, I would’ve won the game already. Now it looks like the Allies are going to rebound for the win… grrrrr

total victory or a 10 standard victory is better than 9. I can’t trust these guys to print decent rules anymore, then again 10 is the same as total victory, if axis got 10 allies may as well concede anyway, because it means they don’t have berlin and russia is axis.
Come to think of it, I don’t think anyone played the VC variant rule in revised.
VCs are an optional rule in this imo.

Honolulu should be taken out in my opinion, it worked when you HAD to capture a Major Capital to achieve victory, if they balanced out the Soviets with Germany it could work

I’m so glad i can to this forumn and found out the extra Allied VC! Our latest game is going to be played different again! Which is good.
-
Don’t think I’ve played to a 9 VC win. Agreed that Hawaii being a VC makes it almost impossible for allies to win, or at the very least it forces America to go pacific or give up a free VC, and then all the axis need to do is hold onto easy to take VC’s.
