@Charles-de-Gaulle said in Global 1942 Scenario by Larry Harris:

This version is great but after dozens of games I have been disappointed. It seems Allies have an advantage in Europe and Japan has an advantage in Pacific. Russia crushes a lot of German forces in the beginning while Italy has it pretty tough in the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, Japan is way too strong and always takes India. The only possible remedy is if the US focuses more on Japan alleviating the European Axis and the Pacific Allies. Am I missing something?

Just playing around with this 9 years later, but I came here. Perhaps someone else will.
Additionally, this is the tournament version. There are very high level players who know this version backwards and forwards. I am a fresh recruit. I make observations so that they might be corrected. Let’s go!

There is one power that is wildly different in this version and that is Russia. Certainly, UKP and Anzac are nerfed AND the Russians in the east are fewer in number. However, Russia is a beast. If Russia presses for Berlin with no consideration for the victory conditions, the Allies are in trouble. It will stop the economic victory but will likely lose to the Pacific victory city strategy.

Simple solution: the Russians need to support India. I’m in turn 3 and have just purchased 10 infantry and a plane. I landed most in the Caucasus. 5 aircraft for Calcutta. I built a British factory in Cairo and two Brit bombers in South Africa. I will continue to build aircraft for the Russians and Brits to send to India until it is stabilized. Meanwhile I am in an arms race with Japan. I plan to go high in the Pac to pull resources away from India.
