Difference in start setup?

I find Ozteas playable w/o a bid. '39 hasn’t been playtested as much. Japan usually steamrolls china so you may want to give a few guys to China. It doesn’t rally take any longer as the first few turns go pretty fast. You should read the game notes if you haven’t played it.

@poloplayer15:

Young Grasshopper has the right idea. The only way that you and your group will get better is by beating him. Each game you will get better. you will minimize your mistakes and capitalize on his. This is how i became a better player. my friend would always crush me. his German juggernaut verses my pathetic red army. Now its pretty even every time Barbarossa happens, and its not just on one front. Its world wide i can stem his advance or cripple his force so much he has to think twice before attacking.

On top of that, try to play against multiple different players, either on this forum, or on TripleA.  You can learn a lot of new and effective strategies.

@texasranger97:

Are the NOs the same?

Yes, look here:

they asked this in the faq to find out the answer. I know the rulebook needs an update.

@calvinhobbesliker:

It may have swung it towards the axis

Sooooo….what was the point of changing the rules then?

Oh whoops at first glance I thought you made the cards but now I see it is Bob.

@Omega:

Still need to know the units per nation

There is a list at the Europe 40 entry of boardgamegeek.com, and someone posted a list of his units here on the forum (prolly on page 2), which lead to others posting theirs…showing quite some differences.

I am still missing all my Russian units…  :cry:
