The Triplea java-based game has an option for “Honorable Victory” here either side wins if it has attained a certain amount of VC’s by end of a round. The Default I believe is 14. The games I’ve played against the (so-called) “Hard-AI” have all been won on this rule. The Axis have clearly lost at this point and I don’t have to go the extra hours necessary to achieve the OOB Victory Conditions. I’d suggest this added rule as it doesn’t change any of the other gameplay.
In how many hours can you complete a G40 game

@cmmiles said in In how many hours can you complete a G40 game:
@The-Captain we never use modified rules. But a G40 game takes us at least 20 hours minimum. Therefore, our group has been hard to schedule lately so a faster version would be great. I haven’t been on the forums for a while and came looking for a tourney ruleset to speed up the game when I found your question posted.
Tournament ruleset is a minor change to the game so you dont need to learn a lot of new things. But it really speeds up the game and streamlines it a lot better.
Takes about 8 hours to complete the game with that, mostly because of the play order difference making it so you can play 2 countries at the same time.
And it fixes some balancing issues because of the turn order. -
@shadowhawk which tournament rules do you use? Have a link?
