The most effective russian players I’ve encountered are the ones that are able to build up a force that is able to threaten a counter on a german stack. If a good german player wants to go for Moscow they are able to get it, however I’ve seen plenty games where the UK/USA are putting enough pressure on the German player for him to stop just in front of Moscow. If the Russian player only has bought inf at this point there is not much of a threat for the German player to keep russia contained and slowly kill it economically. However if there is a stack of paired inf/art the pushback power is a lot bigger and thus Germany can be challenged and Russia may be able to break the German wall.

Looks great! Thanks for making these.
Found a typo though:
For ANZAC it says the are “Politically Tied to ANZAC”. I assume this is meant to read “UK”.
-
Will correct and update shortly. Thanks.
-
Also from the ANZAC chart, movement range is missing.

yo bob can you add a aditinoal casulity strip on the attackers side for me? then pm me w/ the file?
-
yo bob r u doing lary’s alpa setup?
-
Bob will likely wait until it is final on the Alpha setup

This is correct. When the the changes are final I will make new setup charts.
I actually tried the alpha setup this weekend and it was much better than the OOB setup. Hope you guys try it.

When I open them, I get a JPG. How can I format it proportional to a 8.5x11’’ paper?
-
Also, is it possible to change the format? For some reason, i can’t print JPG’s
-
Sorry, I have them in PNG. How can i convert to jpg, which I can print?
-
you should download the complete zip file which has them in png format and is clearer. If you want them to print in 8.5 x 11 Simply open them in “windows photo viewer”. Select paper size as 8.5 x 11 then print. you should select 11" x 17" for the national production chart.
converting to jpeg is a bad idea as it will blur the image. Just about any photo editing program can convert them to jpeg. the easist (not necessarly the best) method would be to open the files in paint then click “file” , “save as” then click the drop down menu and select Jpeg. click “save”
P.S. converting to bitmap is better since you wont lose quality.

So, how do I open with “windows photo viewer”?
Are there printers that can handle 11"x17"?
-
right click on the file and select “open with” then click windows image viewer. 11"x17" is a standard size of paper known as ledger. any professional printers (and upper end home printers) have the capability of printing this size. Worse case scenario: go to kinkos and pay a little extra for them to print it.

Bob,
First, thank you very much! These are great. I found one minor typo in the UK setup chart.
“If London is captured by and Axis power, that power will received the United Kingdom’s player’s unspent Europe IPCs only. If Calcutta is captured by an Axis power, that power will received the United Kingdom’s player’s unspent Pacific IPCs only.” Emphasis are mine.
You should conjugate both as “that power will receive” using the future tense. Thanks again!
-
I will fix in an upcoming update. Thanks again for the help proofreading.
-
Is it possible for me to change them so that the setup charts have the alpha setup instead of the OOB setup?
-
I’d rather not release my source material. There will be alpha setup charts when larry makes it official. Be patient. If you guys want the alpha setup sooner help larry by playing the setup and posting your observations at his website:

The sooner Larry (with your help) gets the setup gets balanced the sooner i will release the charts.

Since you don’t want to release the alpha setup charts yet, I assume you did not post this: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/59390/global-1940-setup-cards
