Germany: took over western Europe (france) within the first two turns and landed 5/6 transports in Scotland on turn 3. I hate that because that doesn’t allow Russia to enter war when they only take over Germany.

Russia: I purchased mostly men every turn and a couple artillery and just kept building up my defense. I also started moving 6 men and the 2AA from Eastern Russia back towards Moscow

Japan: He moved just about every sea unit of his down to zone 36 or Borneo, and he used all of his fighters to take out the 2nd nothern most part of the trail and also moved his men from Manchuria into China’s territories

UKE: I purchased 1 AA a couple mech inf and all men and started building up in Calcutta
UKP: All men in UK, and I attacked Italy sea units in 96&97 (Was told to take out as much as possible) but this did not work,  Germany flew in a plane to southern Italy which was then scrambled along with two other Italy fighter in the sea zone 97 battle.

Italy: My brother then proceeded to take Alexandria and Egypt within the first couple rounds after I lost sea zone battle 97 on UK1. Pretty much all of Africa is about to be his. He also moved into Southern “New Europe” taking Greece and then onto Syria.

US: I followed a tip and purchased two Aircraft Carriers and 1 BB US1, and then another Battleship, a sub, destroyer…Just bought ships and started shipping towards S.E. Asia where Japans Fleet is waiting for war.

Thank you

It’s gonna be my first time playing as Allies so I’m sure i’ll make plenty of mistakes but thanks for the general ideas giving me somewhat of a direction i should head in.

Thanks  guys, you are all great.

So you can’t build in IC in Borneo, Hawaii, New Zealand, etc?

How so and can I get a link?

I ask this because I saw some users asking to play against one another.

I do not believe they do…My brother might

I will be the Axis…

and forgive me for not understanding all the jargon yet, but what does J1, J2, etc mean?

no islands can have major?

As stated above, I’m about to embark on my first global game with my uncle and brother.

We’ve been playing 1942 second edition for a while now but this is our first time for Global second edition.

Looking at Germany, Italy and Japan I’m trying to think of same basic strategies to victory and i’m sure some of the same rudimentary strategy from 1942 applies, but with the new country bonus income and it being my first time, I’m not too sure.

Could someone give me a couple pointers moving forward into my first game.

can the UK uprage its minor industrial complex in S.A. to a Major?

yes.  Provided you won, of course.  It’s the same as moving extra units into newly conquered land.   (Basically, they were too late for the fireworks, but just in time for the pizza and beer.)

Wait!!, you can move ground units into a newly conquered territory if they weren’t in the battle???

This is what i need to know. I’m in the middle of a game right now.

Just saying that the U.K. takes a German territory and then the U.S. land there and the U.K. pulls out so there are just U.S. men in that U.K. controlled territroy. Could the U.S. somehow put a Industrial Complex in that territory?

Thanks in advance

@trihero:

What would also help if if you tell us how your uncle manges his airforce and defense in W. Europe. Then I could tell you how fast you could/should be getting into Europe to help Russia survive.

He leaves minimal men in W.Europe and S. Europe because he has overwhelming force the next turn to get it back so he realisticly don’t lose money. Me and my bro tried to land UK in Western E/ than fly 6 fighters(U.S) and some of their ground units to stop Germany from retaking it.

MY Uncle bridges a tank and a man the first turn to Africa.
WE know though that we can hold AFRICa by building a complex and taking a fighter or two there. IF India isn’t there to slow down Japan, Japan will be threatening Russia on rounds 3 and 4.

The problem we always have, by the time US has enough units to do some damage in Japan or Germany, the Russians are close to extinction.
Have you guys ever tried shipping men from West U.S. to East Russia?

Germany builds all tanks and maybe a fighter a round.

Japan builds 3 tanks with its complex(After it takes China) in  Kwintiang and some men in Japan to bridge to Manchuria.
THEn maybe a fighter or two. Also, in rounds 2 or 3 they put a complex in Manchuria(6 tanks a turn on land in East Asia.)

Why do people want to abandon India( Then Japan could get to Russia even faster)

Ok, me, my bro and my uncle have played 7 times (We are all good players/knoweldgeable) The Allies are 0-7 in the 7 games. We have not been able to get the Allies quick enough into the Battle so they can stop Germany from taking Moscow. We can stop Japan in India and Germany in Africa. Its always too late when we think we can get to Germany.

These are the rules we play
Rules: NO OPTION RULES
        NO Victory Cities
        Global Domination

You can conceide at any one time. Please get me a strategy to help out Russia and take down Germany and Japan. Thanks

what i’m trying to say what are some rules people do not know about in AAR besides the big ones like artillery, battleships, etc. Or just things that are legal that would make a big impact of the game if people knew?

Respond freely.

Thanks :-D

Thanks in advance

Is that a rule or is that how you play?

Sorry for being technical about it. Im in the middle of a game right now at my uncle’s.

THanks :-D
