Not only would USA have had air supremacy but they were fully mobilized in both the Atlantic and the Pacific and would have performed the ultimate pincer tactic on Russia.

Every time in history a major naval power has been up against a major land power, the land power will always win. Its all about logistics.
Woohoo let’s throw even more people into the meat grinder of war after two of the most horrible wars in all history. I’m sure everyone back then would have been for it!
Historically, no country ever succeeded in conquering Russia…
Except for Germany in ww1

Not because they couldn’t, but because they didn’t.
@Imperious:

Incorrect, Russia was not conquered (in fact Germany conquered less of them in WW1 than in WW2). Just Lenin did a pact with Germany (Brest-Litovsk peace if I remember well) because he had to fight with zarists while kaiser accepted because he has too much to do against UK and France. As much you can say a minor victory for Germany since Russia lost Poland and also Baltic States, never a conquest
The powers than were more close to conquest Russia were Mongols and France. But Russia was not a nation at XIIIth century (just a bunch of small powers as Moscovy, Kiev and Novgorod) and Napoleon had to retreat from Moscow and finally lost the war
It’s higly difficult any power could conquest the full USSR. As much, conquer so much that russians would want coup Stalin. But even then you would change Stalin for someone that easily could be undemocratic anyway (Putin is not Lincoln, you know). Few profit for such high price
Thread derailed…
Lets get back on topic.
A global game with different setups I think will require even more playtesting and therefore will reduce the amount of testing on the global game for 1940.
IMO a bad idea.

Man, this aint the 1950’s. Larry just put the numbers in a pc and print out a balanced set-up. Then some of his buddies play a game and this is the testing. We are not talking rocket science here, buddy.

Well hopefully they can use that same PC to create a computer version with a better AI.

And we recieve a poorly tested game…
What is the miraculous “computer program” you speak of…
There is no substitute for human players playing lots of games to see if the game plays one way or another. For example… most games of AA50 playout KGF, where Japan rushes to moscow. A computer is no substitute for the human mind.
Lets just test one scenario for the duration, and get it right so that the initial setup allows lots of possible routes to victory.
I dont think it was THAT bad…just a couple of typos…

typos like the incorrect spelling of palau are not THAT bad.
not enough tac bombers
the wrong setup with missing naval and air bases, additional minor complexes, and wrong type of complexes
a difficult to understand/incorrect rulebook
control markers made of cheap cardboard that is too thin to pick up
cheap carboard instead of plastic pieces of anti aircraft guns, industrial complexes, naval bases, and air bases
game boards that came warped and will not lay flat on the table
the two game boards that do not line up perfectly
these are THAT bad
this is a shame as the game is very fun to play. despite all these major problems it is still the most fun axis and allies game i have played
Won’t the global set-up be Europe and Pacific combined with no changes. If both games are balanced, the global game would then be balanced, Right?
I think that the global game will sell seperatly so the can sell us all the sutff that should have been in the game in the first place.

They have already stated that there will not be a separate global game. Everything you need will be included in both the Pacific and Atlantic games.
