2nd edition board using G40 pieces and 1942 rules?

@skay85 The Rulebook can be found here.

@MrBill13:

fellow world domineers,

After a bit of a vacation from the forum, I made the mistake of reading a post that said the “LHTR” is essentially the bible for tournament play. So of course i had to read it. I have to ask because unless Hasbro came out with some modifications to the rules, there are some conflicts.

1. The rules that came with (my copy anyway) of spring 1942 say that strategic bombardment cannot total more than twice the territories worth. The LHTR says no more than simply the value of the territory. Since I don’t play in tournaments, which is the overall accepted procedure.

2. When I played classic, every Ack Ack we flew over could fire on your planes. Spring 42 says that only Ack Acks in a country being attacked fire on planes. LHTR goes back to the classic way. Again, which is generally accepted.

3. Nothing is said in the Sping 42 rulebook about weapons development. And I ask again, is this generally accepted, or do these particular rules only come into use during tournament play.

Thanks for your indulgence…

The sequence of releases/rules is Revised, LHTR and Spring 1942. LHTR is a middle step between Revised and Spring 1942, you can see the differences between the 3 rulesets on the attached .pdf made by Krieghund.

Concerning your questions.

The strat bombing on Spring 1942 inflicts damage on the IC (up to double the territory’s value), on LHTR it removes IPCs from the player (up to the value of the territory).
2)On LHTR/Revised AAs can fire during Combat Move. On Spring 1942 they only fire during combat. There’s no tech on Spring 1942.

Do you have to be logged in to see the pictures? How do i post more pictures, without browsing?

@White:

I would like to insert the technology research of 2nd edition into Spring 1942.

@Herr:

You’re right about the paper IPC’s - they’re missing from the Spring 1942 edition and I also use the IPC notes from my second edition game.
I don’t recommend using the technological advances from the old game in the 1942 edition. Apart from A&A being better without tech anyway (imho), the second edition advances are really unbalanced and tend to disrupt the natural course of play, to some degree even turning it into a game of chance rather than skill.

I don’t like tech myself either since Classic but I’d say that you if need to have tech on your games then check the AA50 tech chart. It has nearly all of the techs from Classic and 6 new techs.

@ragnarok628:

wait, so the number of pieces DOES limit how many ICs can be on the board?

No. The only edition where the number of existing pieces limited the number of units you could have on the board was on Classic, in the booklet that came with the rules addendum.

i agree but if you really wanted too it caould wor for like 8 ipcs (or ten since you can place em any where)

@Krieghund:

No, it doesn’t.

Thanks Krieghund.

@Imperious:

should upload in 5 seconds.

Aah, much better, many thanks :) (The problem is I have only about 500 MB left on my HD, so I simply can’t afford to keep your .pdf’s on my laptop :roll: )
