This is a great alternative set up for 1942 anniversary game . Love the turn order and how the Americans right off the bat get action in the pacific theatre. I have played this set up twice and have seen the axis and allies both win a game. I can vouch for this scenario as I had a blast playing it. If you want more pieces and naval action quickly in the pacific then give this one a try.

I’ll play you in a couple weeks to test for balance, if you wish.

Sure. I already tried it and it was interesting. The Axis might have an advantage but I guess the Allied player didn’t had much of an idea of what to do.
-
I am going to try this sometime soon. Hobbes, if you keep coming up with cool stuff for AA42, I might not have to buy another AA game. I was thinking of picking up AAE40 next weekend but won’t need to now. Might even think about selling AAP40. The only room I have is just enough for AA42 to be played and with the things that you have done here there is plenty of variety to change things up so it doesn’t get stagnant.

Shouldn’t Germany start with 33? It lost West Russia, Ukraine, and Belarussia, so it lost 7 ipcs. Thus it should have 40-7-33 ipcs to start

Yes. I’ve fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out.

what about IC on western USA?

How have games been going so far with this setup?
-
1 actually. I tried playing it afterwards but at the time couldn’t find anyone interested.
-
I’m still interested - just have too many other things going on at the moment.
Hopefully, right after Christmas I’ll be available.

Can you post a battlemap with the new scenario set-up?
If you do so, I will take a look at the game and seriously consider a game (unless I see some crazy flaw that I would discuss here).
-
I don’t use battlemap, if that’s what you’re asking for.

Based on AA50’s 1941 scenario.
I apologize, I just realized this must be on the Revised map.
I saw AA50 1941 and just assumed it was on that board.the turn order grabbed my attention because I think that the AA50 turn order where UK always follows Japan makes a Pacfic campaign very difficult to achieve for the allies.
