The third try worked… but obviously the first two tries were posted, too…strange…

Incredible - with these Russian dice results I would have had best chances to win the Caucasus-battle, which I of course did not fight due to bad chances…

Anyway - what do you think about moving on?

I’m ready to resign …. as I can’t do anything apart from delaying the inevitable…

Just let me know, we can continue of course, if you want …

@redrum:

…
Did you want to start a new game on a different map?

Yes, that’s what I meant. We could continue maybe with 1942 2nd edition, just to get to the current ruleset.
But I am open to other suggestions…

@redrum:

Sounds good. I’d say go ahead and start it up. I haven’t played it before so if you have any major pointers that would be appreciated.

Fine.

We move on to the ruleset that was developped for Global 1940 2nd Edition - and (as a simplification) 1942 2nd edition.

Major changes are:

• AA Guns now shoot at a maximum of 3 planes each. So you must have more than one AA gun in a territory in order to be able to shoot at more than three attacking planes. You need for example 2 AA guns to shoot at a maximum of 6 enemy planes.
• AA Guns are no longer subject to capture but can be taken as casualties. They will be autodestroyed if attacked and no other defending unit is available. They still can be moved only in NCM. They no longer defend against SBR, because
• Factories have a “built-in” AA shooting at every SBR-ing bomber.
• Unit prices are slightly different (see TripleA) - Tanks cost 6.
• A transport is not allowed to offload land units for an amphibious assault in a sea zone containing one or more ignored enemy submarines unless at least one warship belonging to the attacking power is also present in the sea zone at the end of the Combat Move phase.

This is what came quickly to my mind. I will point out possible other aspects when I recall them.

Russia’s going first.

Rolling for sides:

Even - redrum=Axis
Odd  - redrum=Allies

Rolling 1d6:
(1)

Awaiting your first move  :-)

Ouch… bad luck indeed.

Let’s see how this turns out - my battles are always good for similar dice experiences  :wink:

I’ll continue tomorrow.  :-)

TripleA Turn Summary for game: World War II v5 1942 Second Edition, version: 1.9

Game History

Round: 1

…
        Place Units - Russians
            EDIT: Turning off Edit Mode
            Turning on Edit Mode
            EDIT: Removing units owned by Russians from West Russia: 1 infantry
            EDIT: Removing units owned by Russians from Ukraine S.S.R.: 3 armour, 1 artillery and 1 infantry
            EDIT: Changing ownership of Ukraine S.S.R. from Russians to Germans
            EDIT: Adding units owned by Germans to Ukraine S.S.R.: 1 armour, 1 artillery and 1 fighter
            EDIT: Turning off Edit Mode
            1 artillery and 3 infantry placed in Caucasus
            1 infantry placed in Karelia S.S.R.
            2 artilleries placed in Russia
            1 fighter could not land in Ukraine S.S.R. and was removed

When studying the map I wondered where that German fighter ended.
Now I know… TripleA did not realize that - after the edits -  it was a surviving defending fighter, but - due to the territory owner change in the edit - assumed that it landed in a territory that was not friendly at the beginning of the turn, so destroyed it.

However, I came back from work just minutes ago (10.30 pm here) and feel too tired to elaborate a G1 move right now.
Will do it definitely tomorrow. I hope to come back to a quicker pace then.  :-)
