I decided to make some national reference cards for the Global40 game to help new players who joined in on my games. Basically I used PowerPoint to put as much relevant information onto the cards as possible, so they may not look as polished as some people may make them on these forums. I wanted to share these however if anyone is interested. I think I do not have enough posts yet though so I cannot post a hyperlink for people to download them. If anyone is interested ask me and I can send the google docs link so you can take a look.
Global 1942

Who else has played Global 42? Has anyone else found a huge axis advantage, not so much with Germany /Italy but Japan is a monster. Round 1 Japan takes out the US force around Solomon’s and Pearl Harbor and usually has India by round 3 or 4. The only way to try and mitigate the Japan is for the US to throw all their money to the Pacific. Do other groups bid for the allies?

Japan is ridiculously strong (but then is on 1940 too).
Germany can be held a while and Italy should not grow at all, but the U.S. must invest nearly all its income in the Pacific.
Still makes a refreshing change from 1940 though.
