True, the Weapons Developement is Early 1943.
We’ll correct this flaw asap on the TimeTable.
It seems that the US Elite Tank unit is correctly dated at the TimeTable as well as the rulebook - Late 1944.
Global 1943 Expansion, Revised

In the Early 1943 Soviet Set Up, the Soviet 1st and 2nd Army Groups are organized this way:
- Soviet 1st Army Group: 10 Infantry units, 1st Tank Army, 3rd Soviet Army Corps
- Soviet 2nd Army Group: 5 Infantry units, 5 Artillery units, 2nd Tank Army, 2nd Soviet Army Corps
A new set of pictures with the entire Global 1943 SetUp will replace the recent pictures at pg. 1 in this thread.
The reason for the new pictures is in order to show the Army Group Markers (roundels) instead of the “obsolete” Army Group Flags - to avoid confusion in the SetUp when the SetUp Pictures are compared to the SetUp Charts.
We expect to release these pictures in Early 2024.

Can’t wait!

Concerning Japanese Kamikaze Strikes:
Japan has not used any Kamikaze Tokens when the game begins in Early 1943.
This is unfortunately not mentioned in the rulebook, even if it seems obvious since Japan controls all islands/sea zones that are eligible for Kamikaze Strikes in Early 1943.
-
Thank you for clarifying!
-
For the Global 1943 Expansion the pictures that are available at pg 1 in this thread are not updated according to the Revised SetUp Charts.
We expect to update the Revised SetUp Pictures in February 2024.
-
Good to know!
-
For the Global 1943 Expansion, we are working on the SetUp to include the Flak Tower rule (see thread: Flak Tower).
We expect to be able to release this SetUp in Late 2024, after play testing.

Sweet!

Printing Error:
We have discovered 3 printing errors in the Japanese Set Up:
-
Hainan is not mentioned in the Japanese Set Up. Hainan must have an IPC value of “1” - and a Japanese control marker.
-
Palau Island does not need a Japanese control marker… the number (1) described in the column should be placed in the column for the IPC value instead. Palau Island must have an IPC Value Marker at “1”.
-
Kiangsi is not mentioned in the Japanese Set Up. Kiangsi is Japanese controlled from game start (Early 1943).
We naturally apporlogize for those shortcomings.

Thank you!

The revised pictures for Global 1943 Expansion, Revised have now been added.
Please note the German Flak Tower unit in Berlin (Germany).

@The-Captain I believe I discovered an error with the British starting IPC level from the 1943 setup. In the rulebook it says ‘47’, but I arrive at ‘46’. Here is my calculation:
British start the game with 45 IPCs.
Positive:
ANZAC territories (10)
Libya (1)
Ethiopia (1)
Syria (1)
Iraq (2)
Persia (2)Negative:
Burma (1)
Shan State (1)
Malaya (3)
Kwangtung (3)
Borneo (4)
Solomon Islands (2)
Gilbert Islands (2)The total positive is +17, and the total negative is -16, so a net income of +1, thus 46. Did I miss anything?

The German U-Boat Bunker will be introduced soon.
The German U-Boat Bunker will be a permanent part of the German Set Up for Global 1943.
More information and pictures will be released in Late 2024.
-
Is this different than the subpens ? Or German U-boat pen
-
It is the same rule - we just need to implement pictures for the Starting Set Up.
-
As part of the Optional Rules, the Waffen-SS Panzer General unit is being play tested.
Play testing is expected to end in Early November 2024.
In the SetUp for Global 1943, a Waffen-SS Panzer General unit will be part of the German SetUp from game start (Early 1943).
More information will follow to show details in SetUp placement, combat details etc.
