National Objectives

Hey!  For shits and giggles I have recently used anniversary’s NO’s and 1941 set up on my second edition board.  It works great!  It adds more spice into the game! At first I thought the axis were going to cream the allies due to the NO’s.  It actually plays pretty even maybe even favoring the allies.  I also added Italy as a minor just like anniversary.  You should try it out. It’s something different than the normal 1942 second edition set up. 😜

Here’s a list of 1942.2 national objectives – I wrote it just for you! Each NO is worth 4 IPCs per turn.

Russia

Lend-Lease Support: Russians control Archangel, and at least one Allied surface ship is in Sea Zone 4 (White Sea).
Trans-Siberian Railroad: Russians control at least 3 of Novosibirsk, Evenki, Yakut, and Buryatia.

Germany

Scandinavian Iron Ore: Germans control Norway and there are no Allied ships in Sea Zone 6 (Baltic Sea).
Eastern Oil Supplies: Germans control at least 3 of Egypt, Trans-Jordan, Persia, and Caucasus.
Mare Nostrum: Allies have no ships in Sea Zones 14 through 17 (Mediterranean and Black Sea).

Britain

Mediterranean Campaign: Britain has at least one unit in Algeria, Italy, or Southern Europe.
Commonwealth Brigades: Britain controls at least 3 of India, South Africa, Eastern Australia, and Eastern Canada.

Japan

Chinese Hegemony: Allies have no units in Sinkiang, Anhwei, Szechuan, Yunnan, Kwangtung, Kiangsu, and Manchuria.
Secure Oil Routes: Japan controls at least 3 of Borneo, New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Caroline Islands.
Non-Aggression Pact: Russians have no units in orange territories, and Japanese have no units in red territories.

USA

Pacific Island Bases: Allies control at least 3 of Iwo Jima, Wake Island, Hawaii, and Midway.
Liberation Army: Americans have at least one unit in France, Northwest Europe, or Italy.

NOTE: Some of the objectives were revised based on our recent playtest! Pacific Island Bases is now easier (control Hawaii instead of Okinawa), Lend-Lease Support now requires a surface ship (not just a sub), Scandinavian Iron Ore now requires only that the Baltic Sea be free of Allied ships, not that the Baltic have a German transport, and Britain’s submarine-free-Atlantic objective was replaced with the Southern Med campaign.
