J’aime! Finally! I even have my name in it! Excellent. Time to prepare my men for Equatorial Africa! We must show our disloyal comrades our power! Destroy l’irreplacable cruiser!

Here is an interesting idea my group had: cruisers attack twice during bombardment but only get a hit on 2 or less.

Thanks! Aside from being slanted toward the Axis like in Anniversary 1942 it is a great change of pace.

It’s all great! Artillery is great for Russia, Mechs are great for Germany, crusier and tactical bomber are useful for Japan USA and UK, and AAA add nice defense.

Forenote: many players out there insist the Allies are at an advantage; many also say that the Axis are at an advantage–like me. I particularly think Japan is at an advantage–particularly in China. So to balance this simply give the Chinese more units. Easy simple and makes it a lot funner for China and more fair to the Allies. So here is what you do: add 2 more infantry to Yunnan. This makes it pretty tough for Japan to knock out and gives China a much better chance for artillery turn one.
Now add 2 infantry to Chahar and Anhwe creating some more fights for Japan and a reduction in their forces. Note that Japan can still make a J1 attack without too many problems.

The poll shows that Europe is preferred.

Indeed. One player was even crazy enough to load Russian units on UK transports and take Sardinia and Sicily.

Good to know. I was just about to come up with a strategy to invade the neutrals with Russia lol

This applys the starting setup of 1942 Anniversary Edition to 1941.
Rules changes:
Artillery AAA And cruisers are added. Battleships and carriers now use the rules of Anniversary and cost 20 and 14 IPCs respectively. AAA use 1940 2nd Edition rules.
Italy: Now its own power with a capital and IC in Southern Europe.
China: May only purchase infantry. Gets one infantry for every two territories it owns. Can only move in China(Northwest Szec Man Coast). Does not use IPCs. Pretty much same rules as in Anniversary.

Feedback appreciated! Will update!

All neutrals are the same– west Africa or anywhere. The rule for the NO States that to very Axis or Pro-Axis territory and if the Allies attacked a neutral all neutrals are now Pro-Axis thus implying that it would be eligible. Interesting.

This is a mod which adds the units that are not in 1941.
All new units act exactly as they would in 1940 2nd Edition. Note that battleships and carriers retain the rules from 1941. (For instance no bombardment still)

Setup the game as in the rules(make sure you are using the latest version which includes 6 infantry in Russia, an infantry in Northwestern China, a destroyer in SZ 11, and 17 IPCs for the US.

My dad plays with me a lot. Hes 52. I was a late child ;) There is no need for me to let him win; his years of chess have really made him great( my friends swear he knows how to throw dice to lol)

RISK? When I got that my past birthday I said, “Thanks a lot but I couldn’t; it would be betrayal to Larry.”

P.S. Worsham could you take a look at my 1941 with 1940 units mod? I added all the other units to the setup without changing anything else.

Always take France. Sometimes take Normandy. Never take Southern France.

Anniversary is very good as well. Unfortunately I don’t own it and only play it with a friends game.

1941 is fun. Anniversary is slpplendid. 1940 is magnificent. 1942 well I never played.

Canada doesn’t rock, it’s people do ;) never met a Canadian I didn’t like.

Thinking of the sculpted, why do most of them (Italy is exclude) have a number from 1 to 20 for the infantry?

A competent German player will take France 99% of the time. If he cant Italy will. Never ever attack all three French territories.

That depends. If The UK/ANZACdeclared war on you, you can ignore the US.  But if you declared war, then this US is at war with you and you must fight them.

3rd Edition? You aren’t puling my arm are you? Or are you improvising on the future?  :?
