This seems interesting. I’ll try it out.
Global 1943 Expansion, Revised
-
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. -

Novgorod the same. Am I missing something ?
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Anyway, Novgorod’s Panzer Army is now understrength and no longer active.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

@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.

We have made a minor correction to the Global 1943 Revised Set Up:
New Britain was mistakenly given a 1 IPC Value Marker in the Japanese Set Up.
Also, Hainan was not mentioned in the Japanese Set Up. Hainan has a 1 IPC Value Marker - this has now been corrected in the Set Up.
The Rulebook has been corrected as well concerning this 1 IPC.
Note:
The Starting Income is still 81 IPC for Japan. -
Nice! I assume that applies in the 1940 rulebook as well?
