Will Anyone Play Europe 1940 Separately?

[Make_It_Round]

I’ll try to play E40 at least 3-5 times before playing Global, just to get used to the new map and theatre-specific strategies.

I doubt that I’ll ever play P40 on its own again after E40 comes out though… it’ll only ever see use as a G40 board.

[Marauder]

Our group will definitely play E40 right away - the scope of the theatre specific games (and space and time wise) fit our collective availability much better than the G40.  But we will have to forge time out of nothingness to have a game of G40 before too long!

[LHoffman]

I probably won’t even get Europe until Christmas. My usual group consists of me and my two brothers and my two cousins (who are brothers). My brothers and I got Pacific as a birthday gift in April. My cousins plan on getting Europe as soon as it comes out. They might play Europe before we combine them to play Global, but I will not be… We are all itching to put them together and have our massive game. I wouldn’t be surprised if the first thing we do that weekend is play our first Global game. It is unfortunate that school starts the day before Europe comes out though.

I’ll probably play E40 separately at first and every once in awhile after “Globalizing” just for the heck of it.

Yes, I will to see if it’s unbalanced like Pacific 40 are not, just like I’ll still play Pacific 40 seprate. I think you need to play quick games, and at least for Europe, I’d rather play Europe 40 then the old one.

I doubt it will be as unbalanced, unless the playtesters are the same as in P40

How is UK like India? UK actually will have a large navy much of which will be intact after turn 1

Russia like India? Russia will be making 30-40 ipcs, as opposed to India’s 6-13

Then Italy will build an airforce, and theres nothing in Germany’s way other the n Russia, but in Pacific you still got China to worry about and Italy may help as well. So I think they will be equally hard

[maverick_76]

Well from reading Larry’s posts on his latest game with the global setup it seems that Japan is between a rock and a hard place because of those Russian infantry. But to get back on topic heck yes I will play Europe separately mainly for the same reasons you have, lack of time and space.

[Imperious Leader]

I will definatly not play them together unless i reconfigure the set ups.

Also, a concern is naval movement because these maps have so many sea zones, it can take like 14 turns to move from one end to another. Thats not right.

[Stoney229]

@Axisgirl:

You mean move from America to America? just use the suez canal

Even better… use the panama canal  :wink:

[Stoney229]

@Axisgirl:

Ahh you know what techn Im reeaally excited about?

“Improved Mechanized infantry” Imagine a 2-2-2 Unit for just 4 IPCs? I would but them instead of tanks in Europe!

I would guess that "“improved Mech Inf” means your mech can carry one additional infantry piece each, not that it would affect attack value

Are you crazy, I will barely play Europe 40 it’s self, like look at your maps, they are huge, but you don’t want to play this the way it comes, and you could probably house rule to make ships move faster.

I imagine I will play E40 jut as often as P40 just as ofen as G41 and just as often as G42.

Each of the games has its own interesting nuances and strategies and each one is exiting and stimulating in its own right. When I have a big group, and/or lots of time, its AA41 (Anneversary) with a smaller group its AA42. And If I have just one very experienced opponenet we can play AAP40 (or any of the others.) I imagine G40 will be reserved for a large group of very experienced players when we have a whole day or weekend to play.

Can’t wait!

@cminke:

for me at all depends on time, mood, date, and people

Well including me I hang out with 14 people usually so, yeah.

[Proud American]

I will play seperatly to get the feel. Maybe 1-3 times then Pacific 1 more time then combined from then on.

So after you’ll never play them by it’s self from then on. That’s kind of harsh.

I dident mean it THAT way. Sure ill pull them out once in a while but I play with 9 ppl we need two games to play. So global with 9 estimated.(US,UK,USSR,Germany,Japan,Italy,China,ANZAC,and France) Well take turns playing major countries. Just a good way that we can play one game.
