Japan’s Turn!
Have you and Malachi taken a look at Second Edition 1942 yet?
I hadn’t checked the site for two months, logged on one day and saw 1941 and 1942 SE were both new. I kind of thought they were going to do a Global 1940 Second Edition before a Spring 1942 Second Edition.
Map for 1942 SE looks pretty cool. Not sure why they changed the AA Gun mechanics to the global mechanic. I like the idea of a realistic KJF with the India factory in place from the get go, also more countries in Asia for Japan to slog through on the way to Moscow, and more European countries for Germany to try and defend. Read that it was even harder for the allies to get a KGF going however due to extra German forces on the board on turn one.
I kind of like the version we are playing, though. Never thought it would become obsolete (and hope it doesn’t)!
I actually went and picked up both new games,41-42 2nd
haven’t opened 41 & I have 42 setup right now(just checking it out against myself)I haven’t seen the CRUNCH for a bit but would like to have a face to face with him soon
I agree with the setup,there’s a lot of potential for the allies.Tho they say the axis are still to strong.Sure would love to try a game.
Cant wait till they get it setup here,I think it will be on Triplea before they add it to the battelmap.
Triplea is a cool site & you can also still use this forum to play games(I could explain to you how it all works if your interested in the future)
For now this game in my opinion is the simplest & must fun to play!

I’ll wait to see if your USA sub will fight or submerge
Submerge the sub in SZ 52 please.
That’s my answer, but I’m curious (since you play allies a lot) if you usually do that? I like to save the sub for a counterattack in that sea zone during USA’s turn, using BB/2 Fighters/Bomber. If you feel that is too much help, you don’t have to answer.
I do usually submerge the sub,tho I have seen people just go in with the sub so in that case you would surely stay & fight.
