Wonder what the actual turn order is then…
Turn order is
Russia-Germany-Italy- UK pac & eur - Anzac - Japan - US - China - France
The board feels empty for me compared to G40
The German bulge in Russia is getting crushed on Russian turn 1 for sure
Still I see lots of interesting decisions. US have ground troops at Guadalcanal and can already strike other Japanese islands
Pictures of the initial setup (sorry for bad quality)

Only problem I see is that the setup says 1 italian mech inf in Tunisia but also says 1 french inf in Tunisia
and Shan state is empty, seems kinda odd for me
So the turn order is normal G40 ?
That is much better :)
Nothing is concrete about G42 yet.

Why?
That’s why:

Too few units. Not very interesting I think.
I started a game
I am at turn 3 and everything seems close
German made a tactical mistake but the imperial navy task force is next to Sydney preparing for an assault.
Too few units indeed, looks like an almost direct copy of the 1942 2nd edition setup, tweaked to fit the bigger board.
Rather than a “from the ground up” setup.
Good news is, in the spirit of my some what well know Global 1941 setup, I have made a global 1942 setup with more units.
Looks real nice
Could you link your 1941 setup?
This setup was copied and pasted by someone, 99% accurate since November.

ANZAC should have 2 infantry and one AA gun in India though.
Thanks for the pictures texasranger! :)
oztea, I’m going to use your 1941 and 1942 set ups as well at some point. Variant set ups are very interesting! :)
I was excited when I first saw this but there is way too few units. I will try this out, but most likely I will be making some revisions. Too bad. I bet they playtested this as much as they tested 1914. :-(
Why is this in house rules? Isn’t it official?
I posted it in G40 topic but it got moved here.
I don’t know why.
I see no official word from Larry. It looks like an Oztea setup and not anything Larry made.
Take a look here

krieghund confirms that it is legit

So it is like alpha 1 of G42
It could be something Greg “asked” to run at his event.
Wrote himself, submitted for approval, and got rubber stamped.
Larry himself would probably have made some noise about this if he had any hand in it.
On a related note, an updated and permanant thread (that I’ll update) for my 1941 setup.

The changed turn order means for the first time in an A&A game, the Axis cannot prevent the Canadians landing in the UK or the 4 US units landing in North Africa.
The two German Subs in the Atlantic are sitting dead too and the UK can build 30 IPCs of Home Fleet to cover the Scapa Flow Battleship.
I find the turn order weird.
If Japan goes before UK, who is to stop them running riot too?
That US Solomons fleet is dead and the Japanese Carrier and Battleship off Borneo will survivd to fight another day and not get hit by a combined UK/Anzac one two.
Ah found the turn order on here.
Let me know how it plays out. Not an appealing map to me and I am not interested in being a guinea pig again.
You would think the NOs would change.
