The reprint could have re-organized the setup charts, which are not very rationally laid out and appear to just wander around the area and put the units in a different order in each list. In the better organized versions, the lists are alphabetical, or some snake around the land then the sea–but it would be more rational to have some uniformity to that, rather than just a messy list without any rhyme or reason. As to the tournament rules, the game is VASTLY different in that setting than OOB. The NOs add a ton of money, the tech adds a lot of randomness. I think the tech favors the allies because they are well-positioned to invest in that starting on turn 1, and would probably make better use of most of the random outcomes than the Axis. I find both games to be quite imbalanced, towards the Allies. There are no other maps where fighters can fly in one move from US to London, then from London unblockably to Moscow (over the top, 4 moves). There are more layers of buffer territories for moscow–almost as many territories in the “maze” as global. In the 42 scenario, the Germans just punch themselves out really quickly trying to fight in the russian maze. And the 5$ tanks are a big boon for Russia because it can fight Germany on even terms. You might argue that goes both ways, but in most of our 41 and 42 games, Germany has to buy DEFENSIVELY, all game–not just $5 tanks. The Allies have easy choices of what to buy–tanks for russia and fighters for the other two powers, until Russia is absolutely untakable. India without a factory is a lost cause. Both setups are an easy 5-turn KGF, OOB. In the tourney, its a 6 turn game with less than a 6 bid for either side. The Allies won 1-2 more games than the Axis did, in 2018, under these parameters. I think the only way this is possible is for the Axis to grab Sydney, India, Karelia, and then hold those, plus the original Axis cities. They can lose 1 and still win a tie, I believe. Not having watched the invitational games in detail, that’s the only conclusion I can draw from the available data.

I perpetrated the Sneaky Karl on Dave in Game 216. On J2, I messed up his takeover of the spice islands, and ANZAC got +10 (whereas Japan lost about 12-15 income for 2 turns). The delay in the USA entering the war makes this a shaky, fairly break even move on J2. I don’t see most Japan players waiting to take the big money until J3 anymore. All that is needed to blow this move is to leave the troops on the transports during the interturn.

Glad people are still experimenting with this, its a quick and easy way to balance the game. Dave and are using a 23 bid for Global40, i’ve won the last 2 games. I estimate the taamvan mod has a similar effect. G42 has 3 tanks and 1 fighter in Urals, that’s probably where I got the idea. Its not close enough to mess up the opener much and the income nerfing effect doesn’t begin until a turn after the war in Russia does. The OOB NOs are more-or-less fine (except some could be reduced to 3, as in my mod), unlike BM and AA50 they are sparing and uncomplicated. It’d be nice to push some more dynamic play with that part of the game but as it is, it directs the action just where it needs to be (malaya, norway, java, egypt, med etc.) That’s the problem with the bid, it puts pieces in areas where they aren’t stricly needed (russia). Even 16 changes the UK game quite a bit…
