Sry for the late reply, i was having some internet problems, but now I am back!
Oh, there was a typo :D I often use China’s 1942 setup for 1941. It doesn’t impact the game that much actually, but it helps China not to get steamrolles in R1 and basically be irrelevant then. But for competitive play, it might make quite a difference (I am not that competitive so I am also not good at estimating any balance shifts there^^)
sorry for the late post, we had some kind of internet blackout here so I could only use internet via phone. now my PC is powered up again as well :)

@VictoryFirst hey, sure thing :) I am not sure how fast I can play though because there is a lot of work currently, but I#d be interested nevertheless :)
Do you have any preference as to which side to play, which bid to use, whether you want to try some fantastic setup changes like the China 1941 setup in 1941? :D

i dig so many changes in your map, like Urals worth 2 IPC, India being worth way more, China being worth less in terms of IPC value, the additional ICs… so much cool stuff there! But one question: Why is turkey Soviet-controlled?
Oh god, this looks so awesome!! I just asked for permission to download it. Can’t wait to try this!!

@Stucifer Oh, I just read just Kazakh message, thank you for the edit, although it was my mistake :) On a different note: If I remember correctly, you also used to play a game with a friend in which you strengthened China by making their troops Soviet (or something similar). As you know, I am also a fan of alternative setups and I always wanted to make the 1941 scenario so that a “Japan first” is actually possible (I know, quite ambitious). I think you also mentioned that giving India an IC only works partially because it is often quickly captured by Japan.
I therefore tried a different approach that gave India an IC AND relocated UK’s Transports. I also used China’s 1942 setup with a relocated Fighter (although, this could be optional). I played a few games both as Allied and Axis against the Computer and I found it pretty balanced. The UK can spend IPCs against Japan but at the expense of helping Russia. If you don’t mind and have the time, I really appreciate the feedback of a seasoned player. :)
here is a screenshot to show you what I changed exactly (I didn’t circle the +1 Inf in Egypt and the Chinese setup change though):
