Has anyone else tried a French tactic of (F1) A. Taking Spanish Morocco, B. Mobilizing Portugal and consolidating the transport fleet; (F2) Borrowing the mobilized Portuguese to swing down to SZ 23/ Togoland with a significant force; (F3) Move French transports back towards Canada and using the French African Task Force to Gain IPCs for France and to eliminate the Germans in Africa?
Time of games
-
I’ve played 2 games with friends and we ended it around round 5-6 each time (5-6 hours).
I played a full game myself and it lasted 16 hours.
Does anyone have friends that will actually finish the games up to +14 hours. It seems like the game is too long. Most of the last 5 hours is just one side clearly winning and just trying to capture the capitals.
My question is, is anyone finishing games that aren’t solo testplays?

We hadn’t finished after 6 hours, and I surmise it would have taken another six minimum to complete it. Now I understand why the belligerents agreed to an armistice!
On the other hand, now that we’ve got a lot of rules hammered out, I think the game will go MUCH faster next time (maybe 30 min a turn, instead of an hour a turn).

Yea, the rules are a hurdle the first time through, then they feel good after you get the hang of them.
