Also, I wonder if having an 8 VC count makes the Axis advantage overbearing? May have to play with a bid for something like this

Yeah but, isn’t it more fun to actually be able to complete objectives, regardless of minor/major distinction?

I feel like repeatedly calling it quits during midgame doesn’t seem to give that same feel of accomplishment?

I was looking at the rules for revised and saw there were multiple win conditions back then:

8 VCs - Minor Victory
10 VCs - Major
12 VCs - Total

I’ve read that '42 is pretty much the next successor to the original after Revised, is it feasible to to run with these victory conditions or are the new rules/setup too different to make this feasible? (they seem quite similar at a glance)

1) Game came with 12 industrial complexes, setup using 10 of them. Does this mean only 2 can be purchased during the game?

2) Is it really worth it to buy AAA? Tanks seem far more versatile for +1 IPC in cost, as AAA can only move one space at a time, can’t attack, and die if they encounter combat units without support. The only pros I see for AAA is:
**-**They may hit more than one unit. However, this assumes the territory is being attacked by 2+ air units, and even at 3+ the probability of hitting at least one is only about 42% when a tank’s chance to hit is 50%.
**-**They have preemptive strike.
Is it really worth?

3) Do you guys use any house rules to speed up the game? Does anyone use the 1941 objective “capture London/DC/Tokyo/Berlin = victory”, or a +2 VC control (as opposed to +3)= win? I personally don’t mind but my friends tend to prefer faster games. I would’ve purchased 1941 but this seemed more feature-rich and you get to play with more units.
