The Battle for Caucasus / Japan doing heavy lifting

My friend and I decided to play the 1942 version as well. I'm playing the Axis. Japan is doing the heavy lifting so far.

I feel like Germany has a really hard time mobilizing troops in this version of 1942, since its factory is so far away from where the fighting is taking place. Against an aggressive Soviet player, this could be a problem.

Do I have a chance of taking the Caucasus? The photos were taken at the end of round 3.

G1 Optional Mediterranean

Friends,

It seems to most, myself included, that the German Mediterranean Fleet is doomed after G1. Meaning the loss of Africa follows. Agreed? That being the case, I propose this move: On G1, Germany loads up the tank and infantry in Libya, and retakes Ukraine (with bombardment, air and local infantry from the mainland if needed). It adds 2 German (1 is a tank!) ground units in the Russian theater and puts the Fleet in an annoying place. This makes Russian counterattack(s) require a bit more unit count, possibly rescues a tank, lessens the impact of UK's Affrica offensive, and through Ally oversight or bad Ally dice keep the German Fleet alive a bit longer.

Thoughts?

Caveat: This assumes the loss of Ukraine R1.

Can you add the Soviets to just the Pacific side of the board?

With soley Pacific 1940 could you add those 18 societ infantry plus 2 AAA that spawn in Global plus a Soviet IPC tracker, and maybe a minor industrial complex? I was thinking this could lessen the effects of a J1 attack but Is it possible to do this without breaking game balance? Cuz when I tried Japan got destroyed by the Allies.

Which version should I get?

Hey all, recently decided to get into axis & allies as I’m a huge ww2 fanatic and grand strategy fan. I see that there are many versions of the game but I’m wondering which version is the absolute best starting point? My LGS has North Africa and as a long time fan of the North African theatre that’s got me intrigued but I’m up for any of them. I am aware that 1941 is a more streamlined cheaper version designed for new players but part of me wonders if it’s worth getting it if I know I’ll probably end up upgrading later on anyways.

Mixing Axis and Allies Units

Has anyone incorporated units from other AA versions into this game? Such as mines, sea mines, scout cars, and anti tank guns from North Africa? Or block houses from D-Day? Or Infantry only factories from Zombies?

Typically I avoid house rules but lately I've been wanting to add more to Global.

Bonus Question: Does anyone know of a prewar setup for 1939 or sooner?
