Hello guys, coming back to 42 2nd edition after playing Global War 36 for a nice little BBQ, Beer and Axis and Allies event tomorrow with some good old friends. I might play UK this game and I wanted to know if the attack on sz37 with all available is still the preferred action for turn 1 as this might be the only chance for the UK to take out japaneses capital ships Another possibillity would be to just strafe the japanese fleet in SZ37 and retreat all units to the SZ 35 or 31. Retreating to 35 is more risky as more japanese air and naval units have enough range to attack. Retreating to SZ 31 should be pretty safe (don´t have the board in front of me to crosscheck).
Any thoughts on this? My first buys with UK would be 2 Bombers to India 1st turn (good for counter attacking the japanese fleet if they decides to attack the rest of the UK fleet) Also the bomber which landed in Kazahk first turn can be used for that counter attack. Turn 2 I would buy 3 Fighters for India to hold it. Of course Germany would not threaten London in this szenario.
1942SE at GenCon was awesome.

Yes, VanGal has sent me these and I’ve just posted them in the Pacific 1940 section. The tables cover the second editions of both Europe 1940 and Pacific 1940.

the new sculpts for italian airforce suck VERY hard. are they a b52 and a p51?
and sorry if i ask but… why tactical bombers are disappeared? -
Which game Red Sun? You mean Europe 1940 2nd Ed?
Italy has its own sculpts at last.
Macchi 202 (like your pic?) and Piaggio P108. The Tac is the very good SM 79, torpedo bomber.
Why have you chosen an Italian Fighter as your picture can I ask? -
Thanks 4 your reply Witt!
From the lil preview pics of italian aircraft models seen in this forum i thought to recognize foreign aircrafts for italian aviation (namely p51 and b52) and therefore i was so depressed. Now i’m totally satisfied :-D
i have an italian mc 202 as avatar 'cause it’s one of my favourite WW2 planes, especially i love regia aereonautica’s camouflages and the white cross.
moreover italian air force used lots of different aircrafts which i like very much (macchi mc 205 , fiat g 55, reggiane re 2005, mc 200) .
But i didn’t even know about the existence of a such cool strat bomber as the piaggio 108 was :-o
so thx!! the one who will post a pic of the S.M 79 a&a model is gonna be my hero :mrgreen: -
Thought one was posted, but everything else was and the Tac was forgotten (in error.) We are going to have to wait another 10 days I suppose.
Thought you might have been Italian when I saw the Macchi; that is why I asked. -
