Interesting. Yes the ability to put subs in the med probably greatly increases their utility by precluding the uk from placing a destroyer in the english channel to protect a landing in Morocco, which hopefully bus Italy some time to earn some objective money. I know they only have two, but with such a small economy the NOs increase Italy’s capacity to contribute by quite a bit, proportionally speaking.
What do we know of the -42 Scenario?

@Imperious:
russia 1st trun= only 1st round
axis germany,japan + italy(optional)
allies u.s.a, gb and russia after 1st round also russia = ussr ok lol!Thats something that looks similar to AARHE which uses the Revised map and takes place in 1942.
1st turn:
Soviets
Axis
AlliesAll other turns:
Axis
Alliesthat’s the proper way to state it.
Item:Hey IL,
thats how we play all our games. It speeds up the game, and no one is left standing around waiting to play. Its more fun to have everone in action at once.
We use several of those AARHE rules. Victory City- INF placement. I am attempting to have more of the AARHE rules adopted, but I have run into rules overload- with attempting to splice AA50 unit values, costs, TechTable etc… into our game.Item:Dante thanks for the map for 1942. Ahh, now I see, where your edit visuals have helped, me. I can not remember If I told you I had given you editing credit on the AA50PlayersAid map for all your help.
I will study and see where I can revise my 1942 AA50PlayersAid map with your information-and of course your credit. I am about 90% done, having a hard time deciding, what those last few placements in Europe. I feel this 1942 map will be the most speculative of the two(1941/1942.)Do you guys agree? -
Except for the rules and the techs not changing, everything about the 1942 scenario is speculation at this point.
-
1942 set up is the last secret weapon of the game.
I would like to have a May 1940 scenario and July 43 scenario made with some starting technology in the latter. Ill get to work once things are known.

Greetings Timeover51,
I am new to this online community. Thank you for many of the detailed posts you have written. I appears, it drives IL, a little buggy, when you go off on those historic tangents, but I usually learn something.
Especially, when you and IL cross points, interesting reads.
Also, great to read you have modified AA for some historic simulation classes.item:total speculation 1942, I love this. I want to see how close we can get to Larry’s actual force deployment for 1942.

IL,
I am of course rather new to these boards. I just wanted to thank you for the many detailed posts. They have made good reading.
item:1942 the challenge, can we deduce Larry’s force deployment from the meager clues?
Item:A 1940/1943 I look forward to seeing those ideas. -
Setup 1942
interpret by Dante
based by photo boargame.geek and Revised
What the heck is this post all about??
Is it the -42 setup or is it just some hoax?? -
The picture that could be 1942 is a game in progress. Its rather impossible to extrapolate for example where the 2 German bombers in the Atlantic came from. Some of the ships positions only make sence if a turn had passed because some nations simply have too many ships.

Is it the -42 setup or is it just some hoax??its a guy who already made his custom map so he can play the game. Thats what happens sometimes. Nobody knows the 42 set up.

ok i wouldn’t mind seeing the ww2 map in 1942 if anyone has proper pics and i mean PROPER thats the real deal then lets see it
P.S. i think 1941 setup will give the axis a better chance then the 1942 thats what i think anyways……

I have studied that picture for several weeks.Man…you guys are CrAzY……Studying a picture that you “think” is the 42 set up for several weeks…. :? I have finally found a group of AA & WW2 freaks just like my self! :-D
Thanks for all the pics and speculation so far on this thread, its really cool! And thanks to Krieghund for introducing me to this site. I’m pretty new to all of this forum….“stuff”…I never saw the point in all the “talk”, but after getting sick of looking for A&A freaks like myself in my own city and coming up real short I thought I would look online for others that eat sleep and breath all things A&A and WW2. After reading these posts it looks like I finally found the right place!

Yes we eat, drink and sleep Axis and Allies here. Fanatics are what we need. Roll up your sleeves and get to work with the rest of us.
I think 42 will have to wait till oct 23 to find out. the picture we do have is a game in progress im afraid.

yep long live a&a
1942 set up will give germany a higher chance in operation barboss and japs in the pacific since usa had 1 carrier left for a long time but its dice rolls that rules this game -
Greetings all,
Here is my AA50PlayersAid1942 Maps. There are Two,
Item:one called 1942Lite,
which gives the basic 2004 Revised setup on the new map, Plus new countries delinated from 1941 setup with a sprinkle of New cruiser units added to the game, and/or the smallest amount of speculation.
Item:one called 1942Heavy,
which provides the heavest speculation, such as, if you believe each country would have a battlewagon as its nations flagship,
(which up to this point Larry has provided;)This also rebalances the so called bid, requirement from 2004 Revised for the Axis.
So, heavy involves Germany keeping its battlewagon, relocated to the Baltic Gruppe. This Heavy map is translated from the lone photo of 1942 game display at Gen Con, which also included random piece placements. I elimanated many of those. So, this map is a reduction from that display. I also, cross referenced with Dante’s map. Yes, this is a more speculative, let me see what you see,
" loose the Dogs, cry havoc "

Reality, is somewhere inbetween the two maps,
enjoy. -
is the gorgia islands worth 1 ipc to show its importance in the reallife?

welcome, I am rather new myself.
Yes, I stared at those pics for several weeks, but I was drawing the AA50PlayersAid maps 1941,1942Lite, 1942Heavy. I wanted to redraw the 2004 Revised game board into a real map and along came those pictures, so off I went.
There are links to those maps here somewhere.
I have been attempting to absorb many of the older posts pm this site, to catch up to where the online communities have been. Man they have covered a lot of ground. -

im only here to find out new stuff about this. Don’t forget the free cookies :-D

I thikn 2 things for the 1942 setup which is usa has men germany is gettting ready for the next assualt for russia and great britian taking more interest in india/pacific
-
im talkingabout reallife not the real game though i hope 1 of these features get to be in it

This is bizarre. Four pages of more or less no actual information.
The AA50-42 setup surely seems clouded in mystery…Anyhow, we DO have the Abattlemap AA50-42 Setup…
Could anyone comment on how that setup was created?
Is it at all based on the actual setup charts, a guesstimate based from GENCON pictures, or is it just some extrapolation from the information we got about the AA50-41 setup (which we by now know is wrong)? Anyone knows?
