Axis and Allies 1942 Second Edition vs the Original Game (1989)

@domanmacgee

I used to play this version often some time ago… I might remember wrong but I think Germany is strong enough to take down Russia alone some times, just because Germany is so strong at the beginning and sometimes one less than average dice result would kill Russia early. It doesn’t mean Allies can’t hold but it’s tough the first 8 rounds for Allies. Once passed this threshold the chance of Allies victory improves over time typically…

You are exactly right!  Thanks for quick clarification. :-)

Oh my gawwwwwd.  I’ll have to get some.  It’s too bad HBG is sold out!

Add another destroyer for the States in sea zone 11.  I believe that should bring it close to balanced.  This will allow the 2 transports to survive putting a lot more pressure on Germany earlier in the game.

The files were finally approved. Here’s what I posted in the BGG forum:

I recently uploaded to the BGG files area the following player aids and helper files for Axis & Allies 1942 2e:

Setup and Profile Cards:
Setup (front) and unit profiles (back) for each nation that are easier to read than the ones included with the game. This file is meant to be printed on 5 double sided sheets, one for each nation.

Player Aid with Sea Profiles:
A player aid containing pictures of each sea unit profiles, order of play, turn phases, combat sequence, victory conditions, and a color coded stacking chip chart. This file is meant to be printed on both sides of one sheet of paper.

Player Aid with Unit Profiles:
A player aid containing unit stats, order of play, turn phases, combat sequence, victory conditions, and a color coded stacking chip chart. The back contains the unit profile chart from the manual. This file is meant to be printed on both sides of one sheet of paper.

Victory City Flags:
A collection of Victory City flags. These can be used to create stands to show which side controls each victory city. I printed them on label paper and folded the flag around some small posts to create small flag standies to place on the board.

Enjoy!

Great news, thanks  :-)
