@mr_stucifer Oh god, that is even worse than my Pearl harbor defeat the game before :D Damn, forgot to wage an attack in Burma, but maybe this would have also failed :D

Btw, thanks for bearing with me and only playing one or two rounds a day… Currently, i am quite busy but I try to come back to do my turns as quick as possible :)

cloud7707

@mr_stucifer Okay, I want to do a bold move, in which order do you want me to remove units there? (I know, this could swing the battle heavily in one of our favor, depending on how well you or I do :D)

cloud7707

@Stucifer sure thing, no stress :) just tell me when/if you find the time for a casual game

You can also download this Scenario and play it on TripleA! the following link should enable you to download the file. If there are any problems, just reach out to me.

here is a screenshot of how the new objectives appear in-game:

I just adjusted and slimed down my proposed scenario. I have played a ton of games to check for balance (via PC, myself and partially other players) and it really seems well balanced. There is a link to an altered WordWar2v3 file for TripleA if you are keen on testing this scenario.

I hope you enjoy as much as I do :)

Hey guys, since I am constantly messing with my National Objectives, testing them, trying to incorporate Feedback, I did one more adjustment which are progressive objectives:

e.g. you now get 5 IPCs for fulfilling “Lebensraum” fully, but you still get 3 IPCs for only fulfilling it partially. All other Nations but the US got these and I think this change is a lot of fun. Also some other objectives have been adjusted because they seemed to be too easy to get for certain nations.

Again, you can also download the Triple A file and copy it into “downloaded maps” and you can play it :) Just use the link at the end of this post.

And a final Screenshot that shows the changes in Triple A:

Use this link to download my map. Make sure to copy it into “downloaded maps”… where you store all your other games of Triple A.

Axis & Allies 1942 3rd Edition Feedback and possible solution:

I read through many comments and criticism on how the 2nd (and 3rd, which I will focus on here) have only limited options of playing (if you want to win). Although the Larry GenCom Update balanced it out a bit more, there are still many things that have to be addressed (like Egypt falling if the German bomber survives/ China falling so quickly and being a highway to Moscow for Japan/ Russia being trapped from both sides without much options before help arrives/ …)

Unfortunately I cannot provide a source, but I heard that in 1942 online 2nd Ed. The Axis would win 70% of all games, whereas in 3rd Ed. GenCom Setup it went down to 55%. However, it still means that Axis has an edge.

I am not able to make an official 4th Ed. Set-Up, but I somehow want the game to be balanced in a way that there are more options for play and that there isn’t 90% of the time a KGF because resources in the Pacific are often not efficient and you cannot really stop Japan from taking all eastern parts of the Soviet Union. A second Pearl also seems like a very strange idea if you consider historical accuracy.

So what do I want to achieve in particular and how do I want to achieve this? Here is my list:

A balanced game for both sides
Multiple options for a game with a multitude of possible strategies
A Setup that does only change minimal things… I don’t want there to be a completely new setup
A setup that takes historical accuracy into account
A setup that is accepted by the community

How do I want to achieve this?

I will further read into posts by people and their perception of the game and what they want the game to be
I want to invite all active players of 1942 to join this conversation so that we can hopefully get a setup that is accepted by the majority of the community.

I know, it is an ambitious aim, but I want to do my best in hopefully getting to a great result. I will soon post my first ideas of what I envision. In the meanwhile, you are more than welcome to post your thought!

Cheers!
