We going to see you at Gencon?
Unfortunately no, due to a combination of work commitments and geographic distance.
Preview Copies of 1940 Second Edition Arrived

@P@nther:
…
- New setup, in a few territories it’s quite drastic.
…
New setup for Global (other than latest Alpha) or for the theater games only?
Well since he is discussing the Global version, I would say he meant the Global setup.
- New setup, in a few territories it’s quite drastic.
-
No, I’m talking about the individual games but yes, it applies to Global as well and at first glance, it looks like the new setup matches Alpha 3.whatever.
Judge for yourselves and let me know:

1 less artillery in Berlin…
Just starting to look.
-
Russia (Europe) is the same.
Germany is the same except -1 artillery.
No time to check the others.
-
USA is -1 fighter EUS
The rest on Europe board is the same.
-
Of course… this is all assuming Djensens entries are correct. I’ll try to check the descrepancies against pictures Squire posted.
-
To clarify…
France is the same.
Italy is the same.
Russia is the same.
Us is the same - 1 fighter EUS.
Germany is the same - 1 artillery BERUK to check…
-
italy has a strategic bomber for northern italy instead of a real bomber
-
ugh usa is missing lots of stuff… it is like they forgot to list usa.
-
Russia (Europe) is the same.
Germany is the same except -1 artillery.
No time to check the others.
Typo.
-
ah this is just europe haha.
-
No I think you are right on Berlin? Â I checked the setups…
the US fighter is a typo CONFIRMED though.
COW, a strategic bomber IS a real bomber… tactical bombers are different.
-
YEP, you were right D, typo on Germany and USA.
Check the box covers here yourself.

EVERYTHING IS THE SAME AS ALPHA 3 SETUP SO FAR, except I haven’t double checked UK.
-
lame oh well. was really hoping the allies would be fun to play for once. As soon as the pacific connects to europe for a global game, that is it.
Europe alone is about even, pacific alone favors japan, hence global favors axis.
Nothing you can really do about Japan though, you nerf it and japan doesn’t even get to blow up, you buff usa and it makes KJF the dominant strategy.
Was expecting some changes in the europe half.
Maybe a couple more russian inf or something.I’d like -1 inf italy-1 inf berlin.-1 inf greater southern germany. -
US now start with major ICs instead of minor ICs.(Deleted - this is for Europe only.)

I included the photo on the setup chart page. Just click on it to get a larger version.

you can win so many games with a surprise take over washington move, only works the first time though.
Damn, one of my full cheese strategies is ruined.
See what you would do is on g2, get carriers and transports and a destroyer, that is all you need. load one carrier with italy fighters. ship it to sz 103 on g3. you can build carriers on normandy g3, so you can get more of your air in the fight on g4.
Bam take down east usa.
your odds are pretty good if some of your subs made it out of round 1.
~
now that usa has a major ic… it can drop 10 inf. BOOAll in strategy that only worked once in a blue moon ruined. whatever
-
Now that we know the Pacific- and Global setup, too,
it turns out that the one and only difference in the (Global) Setup is in Egypt:Alpha 3:
- UK: 2 Infantry, 1 Mechanized Infantry, 1 Artillery, Naval Base
- Anzac: 2 Infantry
Global 2ndEd:
- UK: (2-1=) 1 Infantry, 1 Mechanized Infantry, 1 Artillery, Naval Base
- Anzac: 2 Infantry
-
I think Alpha3 was only 1 Inf .
Krieg said to make it 2, if you played Europe only, because you then omit the 2 Anzac.
