Is there a set up to play 1942 on a global board?

I was wondering if there is a way to play AA 1942 using a global board? Has anyone tried this? Maybe someone has already come up with the set up and rules?
Thx

Larry Harris, the creator of Axis And Allies himself, made a global 1942 Scenario.

@crusaderiv:

No. In fact i’m talking about historical accuracy battle.
If you make war you start with your strongest force.
Germany, USSR and later the Allies, used the tanks, planes and artillery to start the battle not with the infantry.

It really doesn’t make a difference as far as rules go. All defending units get to return fire regardless. If you’re assigning casualties i.e. tank vs tank etc. That would be incorrect. Except in the case of some naval units, the defender may assign hits to whatever unit they choose and may return fire.

I may not be understanding what your concept is. Please explain. If I am assuming you correctly you need to read through the rules again and it may give you a clearer idea of the combat sequence.

I’m not trying to be rude. I think your post could be a bit more descriptive. It will help people answer your question better.

@crenk:

I am thinking about using infantry from previous AA editions to represent neutral army strengths on the board. I am planning on spray painting based on strict neutral, favor allies etc. My question is this: I have extras of every nation, so what model would be best to represent the different nations? In other words, which infantry would be the closest match to what the neutral nations army would have looked like?

MY THOUGHT SO FAR:

South America:
Venezuela-? American
Chile-? Germany
Argentina-? Germany
Brazil-? American

Africa:
Angola- UK
Mozambique- UK

Mid East:
Saudi Arabia-? UK
Iraq- Germany-? Yes
Persia-? UK
Afghanistan- UK

Europe:
Turkey- ? UK
Greece- ? UK
Bulgaria- Germany
Yugoslavia- ? UK
Switzerland- ? American
Spain- ? Germany
Portugal- ? American
Sweden- ? Germany
Finland- Germany

Asia:
Olgiy- USSR
Dzavham- USSR
Ulaanbaatar- China
Buyant Uhaa- China

Any insight or thoughts would be appreciated

Hi, my opinion in red in your post. Spain and Sweden were based from the political situation in A&A Global War 1939, where they can become pro-axis and Turkey pro-allies. Cheers

Yeah, I saw this item too. In fact, I was watching it just to see if it sold. The auction ended without a sale and the seller has relisted it. I couldn’t believe the price when I first saw it.

Did anyone check out the game pieces? They look pretty cool but are quite a bit bigger than A&A pieces. He has some pics comparing them. The factories are HUGE. A lot of the land pieces, particularly infantry and AA guns, are on these big bases the size of poker chips. In fact, you are supposed to use poker chips for stacking purposes. You would need such a huge map to handle all of those larger pieces. The aircraft carrier piece he showed next to an A&A aircraft carrier and it dwarfed the A&A piece. The ships are almost as big as the A&A Miniatures pieces, but not quite.

I wouldn’t mind having a copy of that game just to check it out but not at $1250. Maybe if I were a millionaire with money to throw away, but unfortunately I’m a simple working stiff.

I do have something in mind but unfortunately I will have to let you know at a later date.

All I will say is: It will be lighter in weight and will be easier to carry around to conventions!

I Will be discussing it with Jeremy from FMG this weekend at the FMG Board Gaming Weekend.

I will keep you posted!

Well you could have everyone roll a D6 and the highest one gets to move first that would make it hard to plan out the game for everyone.

Or you could take the number of battle victories that turn and use that as a basis of who goes first. The country that has the most victories has the combat initative and then gets to go first. In cases of a tie use the current IPC value to determine the tie-breaker.

Just a few thoughts.
