US

After over 2 years of testing cards and changing them to suit my game I had them finally printed up. Here is back of cards and US on other side.

Well map is done. Not perfect but better than old map. Pic of 2 maps side by side.

Ya Sarge as I said I know what you mean. Here’s my 5’ x 12’ Table.

Pacific setup

Yo I was approached and ask to remove my SS GEN name to not include SS in name or refer it to like Super Subs but I’ll just go with what I have now. No problem here and my intent was never to offend anybody with it.
Cheers !

Pretty much done.

New recruit !

Happy happy happy. It was just a quick design and show. Not final or official.
Your chill pills are getting weak again.

So the issue is you don’t like any surface ship passing through a sea zone by a enemy sub undetected ?

Same rule for a sub if no destroyer present. Based on sea zones huge bodies of water so not that easy to detect transport ship.

The game is based in 42. Time frame early Jan or later no idea. Wolf packs at there peak in Feb 42. So maybe Larry was thinking Wolffies were on the decline so he just for go the convoy raiding.

I have made a advanced 42 game with added convoy boxes to a map and a bunch of other things to spice it up. Added Tacs to so they can convoy raid a box. I have 3 German subs in the Atlantic so if Germany wants plus 2 more in Baltic can raid 4 boxes turn 1.

I don’t see nothing wrong with rule. Here’s the map I’m using. If interested in.

U do make a valid point about when subs are not on the coasts transports should pass through sea zones without sub stopping. For 42 can’t remember if they do but they should get to pass through in combat and non combat based on ships can go by subs undetected like subs can move by enemy ships if no destroyer present in that fleet

@the-captain said in Global 1940 Play Testing Capital Defense:

Play Testing has now ended and the Play Test Results have shown the following:

1. The Battle of Moscow mostly included a Soviet Army Group consisting of 1 Soviet Tank Army and 1 Soviet Army Corps defending against massive German forces.

Multiple Play Test games were completed - and it seems that the final German assaults on Moscow were not delayed in time, even with the increased defense capacity of a Soviet Army Group.

For the most part, the German Luftwaffe was allocated to The Eastern Front with 100 % of it’s strength available for the final attack on Moscow - mostly as a consequence of the increased defense capacity of the Soviet Army Group in Moscow.

2. The Battle of Berlin was completed only during two games. During both games the
   Reichshauptstadt Berlin Defense Area was defended by a German Army Group consisting of
   two German Panzer Armies.

Other defending units in Berlin (Germany) were German Volkssturm, Heavy Waffen-SS Panzer units and multiple other Specialized Combat Units such as Combat Engineer units, Paratrooper units, Me 262 units, Elite Infantry etc.

The results were devastating for the Soviet, US and UK units that attacked Berlin.

One game ended with the Fall of Berlin - the other game ended with an Allied Economic Victory - with Berlin still on German hands.

The Capital Defense rule will be part of the updated Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion rulebook.

So is the now new Russian partisan updated rule the counter for to weak of a Moscow fall ? I’m sure you looked at Germany and the D day landings where maybe Germany is to strong. Just saying the key balance is when Germany sends 95% of there planes to Moscow then there should be way weaker Germany on Europe front
defending that turn.
But of course your games don’t really go much further once Moscow falls to the point of Germany must almost split the air to defend Moscow and get rest back to defend berlin. Just discussion here.

@karl7 must not be windy where you live

I thought kurt would be bigger lol

Hmmm might not be Kurt Fungas Barnee.

Kurt was the little one on Jack Ass.

Congrats Karl 7 !!! As the norm. lol

C24 looking good as always !

Gonna now move 1 German sub from Baltic to sz with 2 German Subs in Atlantic to 3 on setup. Based on time frame if it’s early 42 this gives Germany some decent battle of the Atlantic action.
Also since a plane can scramble with a destroyer present on subs only attacking.

Maybe those 3 subs will just hit convoys and split up and force allies to come and get.
Gives Germany maybe a sub fodder or 2 and plane attacks later. Then maybe not

Where is the setup charts for this ?

@dead-head said in Global 1942 Scenario by Larry Harris:

Hey all.
New to the forums. Love Axis & Allies. I have played several board versions, TripleA and steam.

Going to play Larrys Global 1942 setup in a couple of weeks on a lovely LT.Dan / Siredblood map print.
Is Larrys 1942 variant still considered to be a fairly balanced setup by the community?
I find it a bit weird that the US player so easily can take out two german subs before the german player can use them at all.
I want that destroyer in SZ 101 to be a cruiser, lol.

No. I’m doing a advance 42 game. I’m looking at in my setup moving 1 German sub from Baltic (3 on Setup) ( have convoy boxes) to the sea zone in Atlantic ( 2 subs already there ) where they have the option of bringing 3 subs to US coast and only 2 going towards UK fleet turn 1. Since if this game does start technically early 42 then Germany was at there peak in subs in the Atlantic. The German bomber stays in Berlin plus I have a paratrooper there to give Germany another option for that bomber.

Ya. Gonna get a map with Italy too. Gonna have to swap out BB and trany to become Italian.

What do think IL ? Just go with Italy and not the regular map ?

Here is the Italy add to map. Increased Germany 2 icps and +1 to Italy giving axis 3 more icps. Need to see if they can contest Cairo and hold Tunis or hold Tunis from the sandwich.

As of right now just testing normal map with no Italy. But Germany income raised 3 more Icps.
