@Kreuzfeld said in Why is Global better than Revised?:
@SS-GEN It is a very good game. At least 40% of the rules are relating to optional units. Most people play with most optional units, but a lot of people play the vanilla version.

NEW- Official Global 1942 version of the game- by Larry Harris
-
Different starting setup. Different NOs.
Same rules other than that?
No politics right? Everyone at war? Turn order?
~
Germany can’t go first because he would start with about 42% to take Russia. Pretty close to a coin flip to sit down and instantly win or lose the game.Japan would have to go first in this version or Russia could BS Japan by rolling mech over starting round 2.
Version requires a little bit more play testing in my opinion.
-
The NOs are meant to be the same, ignoring any ones while not at war.
Japan and Russia still have their pact, but it can be broken by either side as usual.
Turn order is different too(Russia starts and can reconquer most of its lost territory). -
Well I am not too enthusiastic about this version.
I would have to see the full turn order and see how full cheese plays out.

…

…What about Korea then? In 2nd Edition it is part of the pact (other than in Alpha+3.x)?
-
they should get rid of that pact for this version.
-
Turn order is the same but Russia goes first , which makes Germany last
Everyone is at war except japs and ussr , so Mongols are still a factor -
Yeah no dur.
They should start Japan and Russia at war and get rid of politics completely.
-
They should call this Allies crush Axis…. one look at the eastern front under this set up and I can see Germany is going to get crushed.

Why can’t Oztea’s version get “official endorsement”.

It needs moar lettuce.

must be hard for a cow to see itself in a processed shape, plus the cheese, plus your little farm friend in the shape of strips. mmm strips of pigs.

He can probably take comfort from knowing there is probably little actual beef in that product…
-
For knowing 2 people who worked at Wendys, they actually prepare the patties on location using fresh ground beef. That might or might not have been frozen is not the point :mrgreen:
-
Im so happy to hear people asking for official endorsement of my setups.
I would love for larry to say something about them.The only thing he did say about it was
“damage already on factories and already damaged battleships, thats neat, shows the war has progressed”
Or something like that.What I would like to hear is
“me and Krieg will give it a shot” -
Set it up last night. I agree Germany a little understrengthed on the Eastern front. Otherwise I like it. USA has Solomons and a fight brewing in the South Pacific. Like it.
-
Yeah its a good idea- making the 42 and all but it definitely needs some adjusting and playtesting…way too few pieces. The Axis are way to thinned out and spread out. In Global, the map really works against the Axis and when you spread them out even further it just magnifies that descrepency. I still don’t understand why Oztea’s version was used. It has enough pieces needed and it also starts with everyone at war. :? :? :?
