NEITHER.  There is an official version of Global, set in 1942.  So essentially it’s G42.  The set up and turn order is different, but with the same 2nd Ed rules as G40…only most of the political decisions have already been made and everybody’s at war.

I need to check the rule again but basically it allows the fighters to escort bombers or defend during strategic bombing.  Sounds like an interesting one to try …

I will set up a game later and let you know…

Cheers,

Great news. Let’s switch over then. Will create a new thread shortly.

Thank you Witt, I’m definitely rusty with TripleA, deserted it for more than one year already.

Combat - Japanese

@JDOW:

I played that opening in my current game vs bmnielsen. However meanwhile I think the merits of having invincible subs are outperformend by the big ships the Allies remain. I even don’t think that despite the carrier buy UK is forced to buy units in UK only. Sea lion still too unattractive even against an invitation by UK.

I think that opening should be combined with a Moscow rush. the advantage is that Axis has a little breath in the west due to the invincible subs and Germans usually don’t lose Air G1.
If Germans decide to play a slow and long game I still think its better to remove the capital ships. Those ships certainly came back in round 4-6 and the Allies can invest more money in air/amphibious units and need to invest less in ships to protect TTs.

Agree that Sea Lion is not suppose to be an option ; threatening it however is important to my mind, because it forces UK to defend, and not to invest massively in Africa from start.

For sure, letting big ships alive should make it painful for Italy. But as I said, I think there are several possibilities as good G1 :)

I’ve never played the BC game before…but our new game is started!
the map is a little different from now, but it’s still pretty cool. It might be a long game since the whole world is going at it!

Good game AeV, I enjoyed it!  Hit me if you want to play again some time.

Yes that sea battle was hugely important for your momentum. I misscalculated it a bit.

I have now started a new game when I’m playing tha allies again. Good luck!

I think so, Looks like Japan was going down and Germany wasnt going to win it in 2-3 rounds.
Good game
Look for the new one
S.A.

I concede. Great game, fun to play Japan when it gets that much power! Congratulations on 3/3 victories :mrgreen:

Yeah, I concede now. I played a bit rushed, and made a lot of errors I see. I could have sunk all your transports with Japanese planes at one point… One more rematch - me axis? Same bid is ok.

sub in 98 and one in 91

If you think 9 is enough :? But sure, set it up :wink:

No problem

Let me know if you want a game ever, league or casual.
