@Cromwell_Dude:
Curious. I don’t dispute differences in the maps. But, how are they major? And, how do they make a difference with experienced players?
1st… In revised… if you had a bomber on britain… you could attack boats in SZ 63 now you can’t because Alaska is extended to the top of the map and Western canada does not touch that SZ. this could also affect moving planes to Russia through the north.
2nd… In revised SZ 55 also touched western Canada, fighters there could attack the waters of pearl harbor and land back in W. Canada.
3rd… In Revised Central America was drawn next to Cali and was not adjacent to the gulf of Mexico. those men there had to move to be loaded on a transport. In 1942, its adjacent and now you can immediately bring those 2 men with you on turn 1.
These are major when considering USA Strategies for attack and defense. In revised I used to park some bombers and planes in Western Canada… from there the bombers could reach SZ 13 or SZ 60 and threaten the Japanese coast and the entrance to the Mediterranean… also landed Fighters on eastern canada, from there they could attack SZ 63 and the SZ’s on the western coast or could fly to Britain if needed fast.
Personally i prefer 1942 Map… if only it was bigger and clearer boarders
