Oztea's 1942 Global Setup

[oztea]

They are both for 40.2
There are 2 threads because one is a 1941 setup and one is a 1942 setup.

Hi Oztea,

we are playing '42 now, and I wonder a bit about Japanese choices… they dont really have any. US is so overwhelming, that they can only pull back starting turn 1. No reall aggressive potential (like the choice to attack Hawaii in J1 in the '41 scenario)

I dont know yet if it was just poor choices by the Japanese Player, but in Turn6, Japanese territory and fleet are pretty much gone and only Germany is holding up against the Allies… Doesnt really look like an Axis win… yet… with all allied resources pushed at Germany…

Did you get similar responses from elsewhere? We will try '42 again, but may be there have been some balancing suggestions already - especially for pacific scenario.

P.S. we plan a real boardgame this week (no tripleA) and I am torn between Oztea '41 and '42,
'41 seems to be better balanced but '42 promises faster action…

[oztea]

42 still has balance issues. The farther along the timeline we go, yes Japan does lose a lot of options.

41 is my pride and joy. 42 was created because Larry 42 feels hollow.

Ok, I have got the same impression! :) Keep up the good work- we will probably start with Oztea '41 today on the Board, since '40 2nd, takes to much time to evolve… (which we dont have, being young parents and all)

It was easier to make 41 because it is little more than just a 1940 advanced 2 turns ahead (with some minor historical fluff here and there)

But 1942 was from the ground up a different beast, being probably 5 or 6 turns into a 1940 game

[Elrood]

agreed! 8-)

That stupid Bismarck cost me my first game of '41 as Axis… I tried to save it and bring back to Germany and ended sacrificing a whole round of income in the attempt… throwing good money after bad, its called I think…  :roll:

But the choices you can make in '41 are really what makes it worthwhile. Really good stuff.

[oztea]

Well thanks!

The Bismark only exists as a nod to history. Trying to save it is a fools errand.

I first had to realize that…  :mrgreen:

I TOTALLY Love this! GREAT WORK OZ!

Did you make a 1939 setup for 1940 Oz?

[barney]

Midnight express has one http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=33457.0 page 3 has the global one

Thanks Barney! Can’t wait to try it! Maybe France will get more of  :lol: a role in it.

Added to triplea. It’s under “Experimental”. This concludes the Oztea Trilogy of Global 40 Mods. I guess he could mod the 1940 start, but seeing as how his suggested deployment of the Kriegsmarine solved the sealion issue, I think that’s covered as well :relaxed:

Is there a printable version of this? All I see are .tsvg files.

[barnee]

@17Mark71

The tsvg files are for triplea. The regular Global 40 game is what it’s played on. Just a different setup and bonuses and techs auto activating

Can someone confirm turn order for the “Ozeta 1942 Global” version. Thanks!

[barnee]

@monroe It’s the same as Global 40

[Monroe]

@barnee thank you! So Germany goes first…

[phd_angel]

I took a look on the setup and appreciate the effort, but what’s the intention and purpose behind this mod?

I read elsewhere in the forum that this setup is about realism, but in 1942 Brazil was still flirting with both the US and Nazi Germany, and saw that Germany has too many territories in West Africa, so I got confused about the realism claim.

Thanks for the clarification.
