Did did not scramble to defend 113, because the odds were overwhelming but would be glad to re-roll if you wish.

@Kastjeman

All players that we are in contact with are playing only or mostly Global 1940.

Maybe you can contact Victoryfirst at this forum - I think he is from Holland also.

@Ghostglider Ok. Finally (3 rounds of nobody hitting!!?), I hit once and killed DD as you desired, but you also hit on the return. So not sure what you want to do 1 v 1.

@newenr85 said in newenr 85 Loooking ing for G 40 Euorope or Pacific:

Yes, I’ve been there, but since I’m a newcomer, I didn’t want to jump into a game and risk ruining the experience for anyone.

heh heh dive on in brother. People will be happy to have you play :)

Let em know your new, some might not have the time at the moment and are looking for an experienced player.

Some will wanna play though :)

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Understood, thank you for looking!

@Brian8

I don’t know. This kind of thing requires a lot of experience and experimentation, and I don’t have either for this game.

As I stated, I recommend 20-30 IPCs for the Allies and go from there.

@surfer

lol I just looked at Political Rules. No wonder I missed it :)

Thanks

@tmartin

you know, on second thought, I’m not entirely certain of that. Will ask @crockett36

Do you know if Oz’s 42 uses the same turn order as Larry’s 42 ? Or stay the same as 1940 ?

Would you ask him ?

Thanks

Edit
Just read through the thread again.

Screenshot from 2025-12-27 08-38-49.png

I don’t think I ever asked him though. I just went with how he listed the players starting units. I’m leaning towards it’s the 1940 turn order.

@JuliusBorisovBeamdog Thanks again, I’m all set. Enjoy your holiday

@barnee OK. so this is a serious thing ? How many peeps?

Always in Europe? None in Japan, Taiwan, or Korea? Or California ?

@Hansolo88

Yes I’m using chips :)

@yazoinkergrapft Yes, the United States is allowed to declare war. If it does, the sea zone immediately becomes hostile, as there are enemy surface warships in it. However, since the United States is not declaring war until the Collect Income phase, during the Combat Move, Conduct Combat, and Noncombat Move phases the sea zone is still friendly, so the United States can still occupy it freely. On Japan’s next turn, its units in the sea zone will be starting the turn in an enemy-occupied sea zone, so the normal rules for that situation apply (those units must either move away in combat movement or attack).

Thank you, Panther!
