Mr. Giovdb
Set ups? Not sure how to help. If you feel like those players have too little fun waiting for the first 4 turns to go down, try playing the (canon, by Larry Harris) G42 setup at the top of this page. It has no diplomacy limitation as in G40, except for Mongolia.
Alternately, you could have Japan DoW turn 1 (we call this J1) and while this is a choice and has limits, it does get the action started a bit faster.
I hadn’t noticed Larry had released official 1942 rules and set up for global. We will give that a try at the end of the month. Sorry for resurrecting this thread.
