The cost structure and transport rules from 42.2 are the same as the global game, so if you ever want to transition to the global, 42.2 would be a closer match, though there are many more diplomatic rules, the carrier unit is very different in global (16 cost attack 0 defend 2 2 hits) We found it for $42.

I spent just as much on 1941 from Toys R Us. Took that back and ordered 1942.2 off of Amazon for around $60.

So yeah, grab one now!

I am just curious about the balance….in previous thread I saw a few discussion saying it favors Axis but there are also folks saying the game is balanced without bids… Are any change on the opinion since then? It seems to me Axis is strong at the beginning (it always is ;-)) but I haven’t play enough to come into any conclusion.

Don’t forget the political situation at the time is totally screwed up to… Turkey did, in the end declare war, on Germany, Italy did too and declared war on Japan, Russia and Japan agreed not to attack each other till 1946, Japan recruited troops from Allied control India.

@Lozmoid:

WoTC, I’d be glad to do proofreading for free games

Man, I would gladly do it for nothing!Â :-)

@wittman:

Seeing the game early would be payment enough!

I agree completely. I’ll proof read the read for free and I’ll even sign a stupid non-disclosour and keep my mouth shut about what the game is like.
