Global 1942 Setup Charts

@SuperbattleshipYamato Got it

Over a year ago, there was a discussion thread somewhere on this forum (I can’t recall in what section) about GTO’s demise.  As I recall, GTO was supposedly saying that it was shutting down temporarily and that it would return sometime in the following year with a new game that it would be offering in some kind of partnership with Larry Harris rather than WotC.  The details were quite vague, and nothing seems to have come of that initiative…assuming that it was indeed an initiative that had any substance to it, rather than just speculation.

Go the main A&A.org page for the Europe and Pacific setups. The Soviets get 28 IPC’s, instead of 37 IPC’s to start. Once the Soviets are at war in Europe, they get a 9 IPC boost. The US starts w/35 IPC’s, instead of 52. I would read the posts in the Europe 40 and Pacific 40 sections for more info and strategies.

@AllyAxis:

@orania:

There is a major IC in Paris. This isnt possible with A2 rules. Captured Major IC turn into a small one.

Really.  I didn’t see that one in the rules I downloaded.   No Majors in non native territory can be built.  but France falls to a minor?  Didn’t see that one at all.

Holy crap your right.  I guess it only mattered for France since Britian did not fall  or russia. Not sure if we placed that many forces there anyway.  Because the Germans did not build that many forces there throughout the game.  The italians moved troops in,  well maybe before berlin fell late in the game the Axis player on turn 9 may have built more forces there,  but largely he used the Italians to defend western Europe and built germans in West germany to defend Denmark.

Ultimately I don’t think it impacted our game or its outcome,  but will note that for the future!!!

Good find Fire Knight but I already found it a few days ago. I’m waiting now for a 1942 setup.

Hey Field Marshal, no problem in posting on other site, I put them out here to share……  Sorry so long in getting back to ya, I hadn’t been on here for a while.

I have another idea that I’m might post soon if there’s am intrest…  It’s two documents that I use to track the game for fun and if there is a mistake you can refer back.  The’re simple, I didn’t want it to be time comsuming.  One is a grahpic global map and I just fill in the territories as they change powers.  It interesting after a game to flip through the images and watch how this changed hands and played out.  The other is an exec spredsheet that tracks the powers IPC count, keeping a real time comparison of the balance of power with percentages and graphs created when the IPC numers are put in.

Is there any timeframe to which Alpha+2 will be officially released?
Thanks.

@UN:

Eh, sure.

Guess I better change mine then, UN Spacy won’t do.
