I have Revised (2004), and I will be getting 1942 2nd Ed. Because the Revised map is pretty much the same as 1942 1st Ed., I figured I could just play 1942 on the older board. I have the instruction book PDF. I also saw the set up info on the Resources page, but I was wondering if any of the members here actually made their own cards or if they have a really good scan of them or something like that (I would be printing them out and laminating), because let’s face it. I just have no skill doing that kind of stuff. Thanks =)
The new set-up
-
This is the new set-up
It looks like Russia start with a battleship, and Japan start the game controlling Australia

That setup was created by chimps. Only a chimp would stick an American in Poland or not bother to think in the utility is actually spending 10 minutes to set the game properly for a photo that will last 10 more years. This is how chimps work and think when they fall out of their tree.

Setup AA42= Setup Revised
Only difference:
Sea zone 10 Usa Cruiser instead CT
Sea Zone 30 Jap Cruiser instead CT
Sea Zone 35 UK Cruiser instead CT
Sea Zone 13 UK Cruiser instead Battleship -
what is CT ?
-
CT means DD.
Thi means that (considering new cost of units equals to the Anniversary cost): UK has 1 less BB(20 IPC) and 1 less DD (8 IPC) while has 2 CA(24 IPC), receiving then 4 less IPC in ships. USA has a CA(12) instead of a DD(8) gaining four IPC and Japana has a CA (12) instead of a DD, gainig also 4 IPC.
So IPC-wise the Allies have 4 less IPC in the setup, maybe a way to balance the game without requiring bid?
-
This cannot be the setup. Even a chimp would not start the game with China, Australia and India in jap’s hands
It can be a joke or a photoshop work, of course :-D
-
And no chimp would put a U.K. battleship of the coast of South Africa.

This immage of board is not the setup

C’mon guys. Is there ANY A&A game that has the board set up on the back? I’m sure they all have some mythical mid-game scenario set up. In which the Japanese have China, Australia and Hawaii, leaving the Russians secure enough to buy a battleship and the british hurrying to save South Africa.

Exactly! That is not the set up. USA didn’t have infantry in Poland.

Shhh, don’t tell anyone but that’s Otto Skorzeny. :wink:
