@Col.Stauffenberg:
We think the allies have enough advantages as it is, so we won’t ever be using the 42 board
actually i wrote my previous post wrong… it should of read…
using the board as is (the Revised Board) makes it easier for the allies to hinder the axis… the alaska territ and Sea zones in the revised board means the US can move easier from western canada to either the pacific or atlantic especially with bombers, its also easier for the US to stack units in western canada so they can protect alaska, move to eastern to jump on transports and if need be get on transports built on california to move to hawaii, in Revised the SZ55 is adjacent to both Western USA and Western Canada, in Spring '42 its not, also in revised Western canada is adjacent to SZ63 which means its easier for usa to attack that Sea zone from Western USA. all this makes it easier for america to respond to Hawaii or any pacific movement and harder for japan to stall america and help Germany.
I agree the lines are hard to see in germany on the new board, we got used to it, but on this forum there is a redesign to the 42 board thats much clearer and definitely worth printing to use for the game. but those changes to the territories are important to the game and change strategies.
ive played both boards extensively and revised gives the allies particularly america a slight advantage in comparison to the 42 board
