We keep the same play order as the rules say,  with the exception of:  Some times we roll to see what power starts first.  This makes the game interesting and your strageys have a bit of a change up
Try it some time AA fans……It can be really fun and challenging

I am starting to think that  IL  is a youtube junkie as well as a  AA junkie  LOL

I work up in that area from time to time,  send me  a PM some time.  who knows    maybe we can get a game in some time
I havent played with 5 people in a long time

We have a new Tech  for AA 1942  The USAF has a new MOAB  ( mother of all bombs  )  It is a 21,000 pound MOAB  whish is replacing the 15,000 pound ( Daisy cutter ) which was used in Iraq and afghanistan.  I feel sorry for any that gets hit by this.  But remember  WAR IS UGLY

This can be a great asset to any world power that gets its hands on this baby.  this is truely a game ender

I have included a pic of the MOAB

Good luck all

Guns of navarone or something like that was an ok movie also

Here is what we do from time to time
Add up all the starting units value for start up
USA        236
Japan      255
Germany  321
USSR      168
UK          226

At start up; You can pick / build what ever units you want per territory  as follows
You can double what ever the value of your territory is piece wise
( example )  If india is worth 3……you can put 6 units there for build up / set up
Capital cities are unlimited
You can put IC in any territory you want… but it does counts as a unit and you can only produce what the IPC value is per turn for new units
we roll the dice after set up to determine which power starts first
We also roll a dice each for starting tech after order is estabilished
this is a fun way to play every once in a while

Good luck

That should work,  happy warring and good luck droppin da dice

I will,  Thank you for the tip IL,  I do like the TRUE history of that era

Well its not a movie,  but  i like watching the old series of  baa  baa  black sheep

Yes  spring 42 map should have a long row of numbers on the bottom of the map
