1942 Second Edition Preview 3: Game Review by Variable

Wow! Thanks for the amazing feedback! We really appreciate you taking the time to go through the whole thing so carefully. We hope you will share this with others interested in learning the game.

Audio balancing with other folks is always tricky. We did our best.

The Geronimo Easter egg is available in both videos. Each has one subtle error. Find them and win a prize.

Forming 1942 Second Edition and 1942 Online research/testing group for strategy/tactics. Writeups to be published as guides in time. Games will be played on TripleA v5 and 1942 Online and TripleA v5 (Larry Harris Tournament Setup) without bids.

Applicants must be comfortable with discussion of mathematics and exact details and are expected to contribute meaningfully. This is not a group for casual players, nor is it a group for players that want to develop “secret” lines of play.

@P@nther:

3. A&A Classic (usually of 1986 or sometimes 1984) - we have another dedicated subforum for it.

Well “dedicated” might be too strong a word… it’s not even called the “A&A Classic” forum (I really wish it were).

I’m thinking about using the planes on the CV to support ground assaults for the UK rather than the US. Too difficult to get US troops across the Atlantic in reasonable numbers.

@Cow:

Rommel I made my scientifically proven starting setup changes.

I know about those. I love them, but I meant a whole map redesign (example: China has 3 territories). That would be even cooler.

@P@nther:

Where did you find the 1941 rulebook as pdf for download?
Please provide a link.

Thank you :-)

I’m mistaken. I knew I had 2 copies of the 1941 rulebook, … we played using 2 rulebooks!!  Duh, I bought two copies of the 1941 game.  There is a scanned version of the 2e rulebook available (where I do not know) but I was looking for an official pdf version that contains text not just images.

Sorry. I’m easily confused!  :|

@Variable:

I happen to be a fully vested lemming that must buy everything with Larry’s name on it. Did my pre-order for 1 each. Bummer about getting them together is having to wait until July to get them when the second game comes out. On the plus side, added a pre-order for the new Fortress America and got free shipping on the lot. July is gonna rock and I will be buried in plastic!

That is awesome
