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.
I made an axis and allies utility app that includes a battle calculator, and supports Global 1940 rules. On iOS it’s called “Axis & Allies Utility”, on android its called “Utility for Axis & Allies Game”
Yeah, I loved the intent behind the NOs but in practice it just means US does KJF so they can protect their production.
If America even helps Europe anymore it’s either sending bombers to UK or helping Russia from the Japan side.
I want to clarify, Alpha 3 votes will convert to Alpha 2 if Larry does not give us Alpha 3 until after the tournament starts. However, he should have it out long before the tournament starts, I hope.
Signups will have a new thread once we determine if we want partners (which can be fun, but trying if your partner get the Flu or has to go out of town!) or singles and which ruleset. I won’t even start the thread until mid August at the earliest due to IRL stuff.
Partners would have to partner up before enlisting in the tournament. If there are singles that cannot find a partner, they can elect to be added to a list and I’ll pair them up, first come, first paired. Assuming we go partners not solo.
Teams would be:
Axis:
Player 1: Germany/Italy
Player 2: Japan
Allies:
Player 1: England, India, Australia, France
Player 2: Russia, America, China
@Tommietomaat:
the unitcolors of italy in anniversary and europe 1940 are the same
but the quality of anniversary is a little bit poor.
the europe ones look more sturdy
And how about the units of the other nations?
I played Japan last weekend. I didn’t have too hard a time, however I tend to play a very anti-US strategy. Therefore I was able to manage them as well as I had been able to in the Pacific game. I even had him spending more on the pacific side. Russia was actually what tended to throw me off because I had to constantly be prepared for a potential invasion until it was my time. Luckily I had set a trap and Russia invaded Korea, allowing me to trap him between my navy and land forces.
If your looking for more specifics then let me know, otherwise that should give you a slight idea as to what to expect.
