New Britain gets an extra buck like the other Islands in “Pacific Expanded” ? Just double checking. Right now I’m just using edit in triplea to make a saved game. I’ll do the xml work once I get the new machine up and running.
Lots of changes ! Gonna play like a new game ! Were these mostly a nod to history then ?
Edit
I double checked setup card and Wake does get it’s Airbase in case someone doesn’t notice it.
Here’s the save:
You’ll have to edit the extra buck for New Britain or subtract as needed until I do the xml update. It’s good for rd 1.
I’ll crunch through again and check everything against the setup cards when I do the update. Idk if anyone has this with triplea but if you do any corrections are welcome :)
Hmm … can’t find the Heppster Rock On picture. Know it’s on here somewhere. Whatever :) Rock On !
:beers:
Edit
Quick update. Added the buck to New Britain. Visual only. Still have to manually count it.
Edit 2
Couple more fixes. PG in Novgorod is inactive and W Ger Fctry is above ground.
Global 43 Expansion 1.2.2.tsvg
Edit3
Wow I totally screwed this up. I just copied over the stable save with a prerelease. lol Whatever I’ll try again later
@The-Captain is W Ger Factory above ground ? It shows it in the setup cards but I had it undg originally. I don’t have the original setup cards anymore. Maybe I screwed it up like i did russia lol. They were only getting 34 bucks
West Germany is the same setup from original to the setup changes. Unless as mentioned IC is underground
Also does Italy still get starting income of 18
I’m assuming based on it wasn’t tweaked in new revised 43 rules.
Novgorod the same. Am I missing something ?
True,
The only “change” to Western Germany is an Air Base & Naval Base - we forgot to place those facilities in the original 1943 Set Up… but nobody noticed anyway…
The Underground Factory in Germany is the same as in the original 1943 Set Up.
Well even 43 rules originally had an NB and AB unless u updated original.
I have BBR version 2, 4 and 5 map. Gotta figure out which map I’m going to use to see your 43 setup on. Lol
Yea - our Play Testing Group went through the World War II Historical Atlas as well as some WWII Situation Maps from 1942 & 1943.
Combined with the experience from the first 168 Global 1940 Games, we completed 32 Play Testing Games with this Global 1943 Revised Set Up.
Even though the Axis Powers are extremely close to an Economic Victory from game start - Early 1943 - within 3-4 rounds of play, the Allies can even out the Axis lead if they combine their strategies.
During play testing, for the most part Germany were able to stabilize their frontlines in spite of the enormous Allied armies that push forward from all directions.
Japan is also able to reinforce their outposts in the Pacific - and keep the War away from the Japanese Homeland.
In Asia, the British forces are difficult to hold back - and when combined with the surviving Chinese forces, Japan must fight with skill & determination in order to hold the line and prepare for further advance.
The Global 1943 Revised Edition is extremely well balanced.
The Balance of Play only depends on what strategy the players choose.
We are playing game no. 3 now, after the Play Testing has ended - and we expect this game to be completed by the end of this week.
A Game Report will be available shortly after.
@general-6-stars
The BBR Map that we use is identical to the Original OOB G40 Map - with only 1 change: Celebes is worth 4 IPC.
In other words:
Players can use the original G40 map.

yea i don’t have the original setup cards anymore but I do have the triplea one. Although a couple mistakes I just found looking at the new one.
Anyway, Novgorod’s Panzer Army is now understrength and no longer active. They do get a extra Inf though

Could u please post the 1.2 rules here.
Thank you
@general-6-stars yea first page of this thread. When I copy it the pdf thing or something screws it up so it wont work
Anyway, originally Novgorod had a Panzer Army, 5 panzers and 1 Panzer General along with 1 Inf. Now they have 2 Panzers, 1 PG and 2 Inf.
