Confirmed: NOT a joke, game will be released

It certainly is a wonderful game. Enjoy!

I’m with you there, Marc.  I once tried purchasing a transport for the black sea, as G’s planes were either all dead or out of range.  I was planning on funneling troops right past West Russia, however it turned out to be a waste of money.

LOL There’s practically nothing on the board!!!

I would keep pumping out MEN.

The more men Japan builds, the harder it will be for the US to take it, and they won’t be able to afford it.

The same goes for Germany.  Infantry are going to be your best friend here, you’ve conquered Russia! Now it’s about killing everything off of the mainland.

As Japan, I would build up Fighters after securing my capital.  They have long range, are cheaper than boats, and the US will have to buy expensive carriers to keep them away.

That’s awesome! Can’t wait till tomorrow when I get to take the new board to the game store.

Don’t think about the actual game, and just think about the BOX.  If the BOX is the same - and the title, and it’s categorized as a first or second edition, then it IS the same -version-, by definition.

Just like ALL editions of Classic are lumped into one category, so should Spring 1942 be. And so should Global be.

They are loosely the same map/base game, with adjusted rules.

Also, if you’re going to lump revised in with 1942, that’s the same as lumping all of them in with Classic?  Roughly similar map, same powers, same concept. Crazy!
:(

V1 - Classic
V2 - Revised
V3 - Anniversary (1941)
V3 - Anniversary (1942)
V4 - Spring 1942
V4 - Spring 1942 (Second Edition)
V5 - 1941

Simple, elegant, beautiful, perfect. no?

As Djensen did with the 1942 2E game, I thought I would field a list of any issues players can find that may need to be addressed and hopefully corrected in any future print runs. So here goes…

Obviously, the biggest mistake so far is that the National Production track on the game board states 15 IPCs for the US when it should in fact be 17.

Other things I noticed in the rulebook:

The set up chart for the US states for sea zone 42 “carrying 2 Fighters”. This is odd and should clearly have been omitted or just shortened to “2 Fighters”. There was no need for the word ‘carrying’.

Page 11 under combat movement examples shows a German Artillery unit invading a Soviet territory along with some other German units. As we all know, there is no Artillery in this game. A small thing I know, but new players may get confused.

Page 13 shows a German Tank blitzing in two diagrams. The first one (on the left) is incorrect as it shows that although there is a movement arrow leading the Tank out of the Caucasus territory, there should not be a second arrow leading out of Caucaus (as the Tank has only just entered the territory). The second diagram is correct. Â

Page 22 under Industrial Complexes. The first instance of the words (Silhoutette printed on map) should be removed as these words are already printed just underneath in the very spot where you would expect to see them. That’s my impression anyway…

Page 2, third paragraph. Albeit a small thing, it would be nice if the word allies could start with a capital ‘a’ (Allies as opposed to allies).

Is there anything else people would like to add? Thanks for reading.

is the release date still the 27th?

software glitch nothing more.
