Could you play global 42 with the balance mod or is OOB just right? I didn’t see a BM3 map for the global 1942 and was wondering if anyone has tried it.
POLL: Best rounds to start the global war?

True, it all depends on your preference and the strategy and skill of the opposition.

Our group experienced many, many Allied victories over 2 years of gaming before we started attacking early and often with the Axis… now they win all the time.

Too much experience can be bad for the allies.
Experience makes people soft and less likely to make an iron mountain and actually try to defend something. You can’t win a game running.
Merge China and UK Pacific. If air hits china so be it. If Japan attacks the merged units so be it. You will kill lots of units, you will dent his stack, you will cut that air down. Frontload everything. If you are stacking up, shove the Russians, shove the American navy, shove everything forward at the same time. Japan cannot attack everything at one time.
If germany takes his air to north africa, shove the Russians toward finland, land usa/uk air on it to defend it. Just shove it.
Clear out africa, get the russian guy on the territories.
You have to be aggressive. You have to have a plan to get air into Russia to make it hold. You got to make things happen. There is no sitting back.

If you do not get a bid, you need to win with grit. -
You say ‘just shove it,’ but if the axis attack works in yunnan or the pacific, or wherever this stack battle is, the allies may not be able to recover. One time I did stack Yunnan with everything that can reach. Japan had a ~40% win ratio per triplea. Well, he attacked anyway, and now dead chinese fighter, dead indian fighters, dead allied everything in asia. japan won going away. with those forces held in reserve, japan couldn’t have advanced as fast.
I get what you are saying though, but all I am saying is that if you present Japan with lots of juicy targets, he will oblige somewhere.
-
Japan will attack and win somewhere but not everywhere. The Russian far east divisions are good for distracting japan.

True… but if Japan’s choices are destroy the american pacific fleet, destroy the joint indian/chinese army, or destroy the russian army- they probably kill american fleet utterly, buying them several turns of dominance in the sea to systematically win asia.
