Oztea's global41 setup pictures


  • Actually, this setup has gotten a little dated.

    When I get my 2nd edition in the mail (friday hopefully) I will set this back up and re-tweak it a little.
    Did some research and there are some minor inconsistencies.

    BIG question though.
    Should I just remove all free french units, and put them down as Vichy units, and treat them as an Axis version of China?


  • Updated setup to account for new AA gun rules and other minor changes.

    This should be the last incarnation for a while, playtest reports are welcome.

  • @Bob_A_Mickelson:

    Now all we need us a 1939 setup.

    I made this a while ago

    If you dont want Axis minors or Dutch just replace Axis minors with Germany and dutch with brits, but the pacific dutch pieces will be removed then

    Global 1939:

    Nations: (in turn order)

    Germany, 14 IPCs (starts with 20), Axis minors 8 IPCs
    Russia 35 IPCs
    Japan 24 IPCs
    UK 35 IPCs, Dutch 14 IPCs
    USA 52 IPCs
    Italy 10 IPCs
    ANZAC 10 IPCs
    China 12 IPCs
    France 17 IPCs

    Relations:
    Germany, Axis minor, and Italy VS. UK, France, Dutch, and ANZAC
    Japan VS. China
    Russia can go to war on turn 4
    USA can go to war on turn 4
    Japan can declare anytime
    Russia Can Attack East Poland
    If Germany takes East Poland on G1, It goes to war with Russia

    Dutch Capital is Holland Benulux (no VC)
    Axis minor Capital is Romania (no VC)

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

    Thanks for the setup OZTEA!  I`m going to try it out soon!


  • The Euro-Axis have been getting the short end of the stick. Expect some changes soon.

    One of which will be added damage to London
    10 Damage on the Industrial complex instead of just 5.

    Germany runs out of subs too fast.

    Im also STRONGLY considering removing all French units, and treating them as Canadian, and making that a separate economy.


  • Im going to release an updated version of the setup hopefully by the end of the day.
    Germany and Italy will get a slight rearrangement and boost (germanys airforce is dramatically under represented)

    I still don’t know what to do about the French (should they be vichy?) or what about canada (could they be blue or become ANZAC)


  • How about Germany only get the revenue for European France and leave African French possessions as French, or “Vichy”, so neither side collects the revenue?
    Canada could be Blue.


  • On second thought, adding Canada as blue would be more problematic than I am ready to deal with.
    The Vichy stuff remains German so they start with more cash on hand on G1, and so the other allies get distracted by having to reassert allied dominance over those territories.

    What I was very close to dabbling in was putting down more French units, and adding a special rule for French units:

    • French units can’t move unless Paris is liberated.
    • French units defends for whoever controls the territory (in the case of naval units, whoever controls the adjacent port)
    • French units only defend at 1 when attacked by allied units and only defend on the first round.

    This would let me add French units to Syria, Morocco, Southern France and French naval assets to the Mediterranean, that all basically just sit there.

    But adding more rules isn’t in the spirit of this project.

  • Tanks a bunch for the updated version, when I go to F.M.G.'s convention in Toronto in April, I’ll set this one up if its anything like the one we were playing a year a go or so its a lot of fun again TANKS a bunch
    Suprise Attack


  • Beware, the allies seem to have the advantage here. Germany’s table is too full of options, and they can’t ever seem to get a raid in somewhere. The UK gets too beefy.

    You pretty much MUST kill the UK carrier on G1, its a real annoying piece because if it lives the UK can dump a lot of planes into the med and liquefy the Italians.


  • Turns out I was wrong.
    USSR got steamrolled, as Italy snuck Egypt.

    The pacific is balanced.

    The USSR Far Eastern forces have been moved westward by a hair, and bolstered slightly. And a fighter was added to there.
    I warn everyone….you NEED to move these units westward. Moscow will not survive without them.


  • I think I’m going to add Gargantua’s “battle of the River platte”.
    Use a German Crusier as the Graf Spee, a British Crusier for the Exiter, the other two boats Ajax and Achilles were both light Crusiers so go with Destroyers.
    The Exiter had 8’ guns the Graf Spee 11’ guns the other light Crusiers would have smaller guns than the Exiter, so balance wise maybe a German BB, and a British CA and DD.
      Interesting……very interesting
    I’m not gaming this weekend so I wont be able to post the results for a week or so


  • Graf Spee sunk in 1939 so i don’t see need to add ships that aren’t available.  Of course for fun factor, it can work.

    In that case, the UK CA and DD’s should be farther away about SZ90 and German CA is a 3 space mover ( just that one ship) and starts off in Madagascar sea zone next to one UK transport at Cape Horn. A second one should be also in range, but If Graf Spee bites the second one the UK task force should be able to intercept. That gives some decisions similar to what happened. Graf Spee can take her chances with UK force or turn back to Indian Ocean or dash under Argentina.


  • IL reminds us that Graf Spee was sunk in 1939.
    This is a 1941 setup.

    I have considered penning a 39 setup myself, but I don’t like that time frame. The farther I get away from 1941, the more fine tuning I need to make to achieve balance.

    With all those turns leading up to the big clashes, so much can go wrong that by the time you get deep into the war, its already over for one side or another.


  • 1939 does have merits for a setup.

    Iceland and Greenland would have to be attacked to be occupied by the allies.

    Some neutrals can be either strict ( Dutch), or pro axis ( Yugoslavia)

    The compensation for the axis starting so economically weak, is either give them a reserve IPC fund at start that kicks in incrementally for the first 1-3 turns

    OR

    Give Axis a double turn at start ( some aspects might not be possible such as two build periods)

    I got a map for 39 with changes based on this for the Europe 40 map.


  • Yes it would be just for the fun factor, and with the need to have the move be a 3 spacer then you would need to add a Naval base, and that starts adding too much.
    I think it would be interesting with the 3 outcomes of the battle
    mutual destruction
    Axis advantage
    Allied advantage
    I’m taking this weekend off from the big board, wifes B.day, hunting season opens, and some small side jobs to finish.
    I enjoyed the map of the Graf Spee travels
    Tanks S.A.


  • Well i was just saying that one cruiser moves 3 spaces.


  • Yea looking at my WWII maps the one move was huge, that or the lines were drawn wrong on the Global map.
    On my personal 39 war the boats are where they were before the war started.
    I use the naval mini’s and the map is 6’ by 9’, movement for the fast boats is 4 spaces, 1 is convoy speed, 2 is sub and slower moving ships 3 is for the faster but not the fastest
    4 = 30+ knots
    3 = 25-30 knots
    2 = anything faster than a convoy
    1 = convoy
    lots of pieces and labor intensive set up, rolled on a 12 sided.
    we dont play it often


  • Playing myself in a game now and it went great.
    Russia gets really strong, but has to stay locked in Moscow.

    The UK is just a hair too weak now that I started their factory with 10 damage….it REALLY makes economic attacks worth it.
    (its almost like old fashioned direct IPC damage)
    So a few of their units will move around, and they might get +1 or +2 units in Egypt, which continues to fall consistently and spectacularly in all play tests
    Perhaps I don’t harass Italy enough, and they get big enough to take it, but I feel it may be something else.

    Expect a few moves on the setup, which I may post in a new thread with new pictures.
    I may move on to a 1943 setup next.
