Would it be unbalanced if Germany went before the Soviets? The Germans should be able to start pushing towards Stalingrad in 1942, not being driven out of Russia on the first turn.

Yeah it’s really more like 1943. The Germans have lost the initiative on the eastern front.
I’m planning on going to a A&A tournament and I’m going to do G42. Anyone have any grand strategies or good tips for all Countries? If anyone is willing could they make a list on what to do with each country.
Thanks!
Also I think the setup is more supposed to recreate the 1942 SE game we love and bring it to Global rather than creating an actual G42 setup.

Are you going to Battlefront Dayton? Headed there in November.
You can check out last year’s GenCon championship game if you haven’t already on Board Game Nation’s YouTube channel. A very strong Japan strategy and US strategy are discussed there.
Japan seems the most well-positioned to win by Victory City condition outright, especially if Axis receive a bid. Germany loses a lot on the Eastern Front and goes much later in the turn order, so there is less pre-planning you can do there, but getting a carrier, transport(s), and taking Leningrad ASAP is a pretty decent strategy; there are a lot fewer boats in the Med, so I’ve seen players go for Egypt still although it is certainly a big risk if the USSR is pushing you out of Ukraine and holding Leningrad.
That's 'cause a droid don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose.
@Stucifer I am going to battlefront dayton! That’s awesome you’re going to! I have seen the board game nation coverage. Do you suppose U.K. middle earth would work or no because of the limited rounds.
@FranceNeedsMorePower @Stucifer @mikawagunichi We will all be there, would be sweet to battle in person! I’m hoping to get my NA copy autographed
@Daaras That’s awesome! What’s NA? That would be cool to play in person. How would we know if we were playing together though?
@Daaras Ah do you mean North Africa?
