Generally pacific builds consists of a 2 to 1 ratio of subs-destroyer. Following turn is 5-6 bombers. This forces Japan to start building fleet instead of troops for India/China crush.
I just had to give som additional thumbs up fo9r this comment :D Buying other combat ships than subs, dds (Or CW + ftrs) is rarely correct. the 2 to 1 ratio shos that sean knows how fodder works and how it is the most important thing in these battles.
The only reason to stop buying the subs is if japan for some reason dont respond with fleetbuilding and only buys planes instead. But then you should win anyways :D
which is why i said that it didn’t work against a too planeheavy japan. on theory, the DDs + other surface ships ofc needs to be enough to stop all the planes of japan + 2 rounds of plane only builds of japan.
What would prevent japan from attacking your fleet of subs-destroyers with air and a few destroyers. With 20+ planes they can whipe out your whole fleet with minimal losses as subs cant even hit the planes.
I normaly go for a carrier heavy fleet followed by subs destroyers for attacking power. Ideally i want my carriers to bait an early attack from japan that i can crush in the counter and get his carriers and BB out of the way so anzac and UKP can clean up the rest.
Global 42 Quicker, faster

there might be a few errors, but its pretty close

Here is a triple a file depicting the starting set-up (not counting any loaded transports)
Could you post a non-triplea link please? Like jpeg? I can’t see it from this computer.

I have taken pictures of the new setup.
I just don’t know how to post them. -

just use the snip it program from your accessories. mac and linux has one too.

This setup changes the turn order though…

The Russians can take back 5 tts for a total of 7 IPCs, attacking 17 German units with 36 Russaian ones and the Germans are unable to counter as they have a third of their strength in the West. Looks hard for the Germans, but they can make headway in the Med.
it would be a brave UK player who builds an Evyptian IC.
UK starts without a Med TT too, so cannot threaten much.
It looks interesting and my friend and I shoukd get a few turns in next week. -
Can you edit the turn order in G40?
Or must a new game be created ?

Well, over at Harrisgamedesign, Krieghund said this:
Yes, it’s legit, but there are some errors in the post that need to be corrected, most notably the turn order.

Wonder what the actual turn order is then…

Turn order is
Russia-Germany-Italy- UK pac & eur - Anzac - Japan - US - China - FranceThe board feels empty for me compared to G40
The German bulge in Russia is getting crushed on Russian turn 1 for sureStill I see lots of interesting decisions. US have ground troops at Guadalcanal and can already strike other Japanese islands
Pictures of the initial setup (sorry for bad quality)
http://s1365.photobucket.com/user/duboismerci/library/?sort=3&page=1 (uploaded each pics 2 time my bad again)Only problem I see is that the setup says 1 italian mech inf in Tunisia but also says 1 french inf in Tunisia
and Shan state is empty, seems kinda odd for me -
So the turn order is normal G40 ?
That is much better :) -
Nothing is concrete about G42 yet.

Why?

Too few units. Not very interesting I think.
-
I started a game
I am at turn 3 and everything seems closeGerman made a tactical mistake but the imperial navy task force is next to Sydney preparing for an assault.
-
Too few units indeed, looks like an almost direct copy of the 1942 2nd edition setup, tweaked to fit the bigger board.
Rather than a “from the ground up” setup.
Good news is, in the spirit of my some what well know Global 1941 setup, I have made a global 1942 setup with more units. -
Looks real nice
Could you link your 1941 setup? -
This setup was copied and pasted by someone, 99% accurate since November.

ANZAC should have 2 infantry and one AA gun in India though.

Thanks for the pictures texasranger! :)
oztea, I’m going to use your 1941 and 1942 set ups as well at some point. Variant set ups are very interesting! :)
