I’m looking for some G40 forum action. Either side is fine by me. I’m sharpening up my Allied skills, though currently having 3 games as the Allies on the go i wouldn’t mind being the Axis either.

IM me and we can get it started. I promise several turns a day.

Maby if the allies are winning they could make your stay at the game verry annoying.
Once japan lost its fleet and has the US parked around its mainland its as good as dead.

So maby the allied player could first capture all the islands japan has with a single transport. Your turn will consist of skipping because no money and nothing to move. Allied player will have all countries to play with guess you will get bored from the game.

@thedesertfox

Yeah, I’ve read that and I believe it. I think until 1943 or 1944 the Americans had more ground units in the Pacific?

Yeah, the US built a ton of ships. For some reason the US never gets to seemingly similar numbers in the game.

@Ichabod:

Max Moscow purchases until the Allies prove that it will be defended G6. Than at that point defend and go for the economic victory.

And if the Allies are dropping enough into Moscow to keep it, Japan should be absolutely owning the Pacific and bringing in 70+ ipcs.

Maybe that is because beer and boardgames is taboo in my family? ;)

If you are really interested in getting woman to play:

1. Don’t pick your close family
2. Don’t be a poor sport
3. Don’t bother with girls (›18)
4. Don’t take forever playing
5. Be enthusiastic

I know this all might sound a bit weird and arbitrary, but trust me. I even used my sweetheart as a test subject.

I found that the ideal woman to target is the competitive ping-pong/video gamer who is experienced with life but still youthful. No girly girls or feminists please–they are not sportsmanlike and tend to pretend that they are overwhelmed. You want quiet woman that know how to make you shake without saying anything.

FYI Adobe Lightroom will compress the pics but still keep best possible resolution. There are other tools but this one is straightforward to use and the full version is free for 30 days. I’m a creative photographer and use it all the time.

To change picture size - import pics first. Then select pics to change, click Export (bottom left corner) and under File Settings / Limit File Size To, put in the size you want. You can also clean up the white balance and tone to take out that yellow tint.

@Young:

I don’t play TripleA, but I imagine one can’t change the initial setup. However, in our table top games, players like to rotate different sides and nations fairly so everyone gets a chance to play something different. To achieve this, I think the Russians should trade their fighter in Moscow for a S. Bomber, the Americans should trade their destroyer in Hawaii for a Battleship, and the UK should trade their Mech Infantry in London for a Tank.

Maybe upgrade the cruiser instead

That should balance the game without the need to bid… What do you think.

Does anyone have the link to the aircraft range counters?

Yup…one you make yourself - print’em out, cut’em out, glue’em on some stock - and the other you buy. Still a choice.
