I’m glad you saw that - now I don’t have to tell you about it
Felt like a game ender, but when I survey it looks like USA/ANZ might still be able to survive.
Disabling 3 carriers for 2 turns is huge.  I need to see if I can take a stand in the Carolines now, too

[gamerman01]

And yes, the shipyards MIGHT save my bacon…
Hmmmm… noncoms

Sounds like Yoshi has been lucky for awhile now from what I hear

Lucky AND good.  But he doesn’t play 1940 yet so you don’t have to worry  :-)

[gamerman01]

Oh, that’s right, a sub came from 33 so I can retreat to the Carolines.  Definitely going to do that instead of to 54…  Stops bombardment without costing a plane scrambling…  I actually have a good chance to defend Carolines this turn…  :-)

[Karl7]

I’ll meet this “master” yoshi any time on the G40 forum… I’ll meet anyone ready for a G40 game.  G40 is the apotheosis of A&A games in my opinion.  Just the right amount of complexity with playability.  I looked at the that massive global game from Historical gaming and it had a lot of problems.  Territory size, spacing etc.

G40 is it.

war!

no neutral crush eh?      probably for the best, unless the UK is doing it.  Ouch.  I hate  to think that uk med fleet could land troops in sukr!  ag… might break the siege!    :|

Yeah, I don’t think he does G40.  Yet.  I’ve only played him once and it would have been good but he got a great defense in Russia early in the game that crippled me.  He rarely loses though.
G40 is incredible and I’m just starting to really taste it here a little bit.
I looked at the total world war manual and it looks like too much for me.  I couldn’t figure out Third Reich back when I was 18 either, but no one to show me.  I still own it.
Enough talk

With the game totally on the line in the Pacific, I finally decided the 6 units in CUS needed to head toward Hawaii and Australia ASAP.  Spain isn’t nearly as attractive when I don’t have waves coming from the USA.  And Turkey was tenuous anyway, and the British don’t have the reinforcements to threaten from the Black Sea.  Considered it all - trust me.  That USA turn took me pretty much all day.  Which is why G40 will probably remain #2 in my book…  But you can play well with not a lot of time, seemingly.  It’s taken me 5 times as long as you to put out a competitive game, and you still might slam dunk me in 12 rounds

[gamerman01]

Hm - just realized if I had taken North Italy I would have a great shot on Italy with the UK.  Oh well, I’ll use all the air on the Germans and avoid the AA for another turn…

no, I hear you… global’s a time hog… I;ve been chewing on it since it came out.  The original theater games were seriously flawed.  P40 was Japan sure win, Europ 40 was allies sure win.  G40 alpha 2 was pretty good in my book.  G40 3.9… well, lets see  :wink:

off to bed for me.  Will get Italy first thing tomorrow morning.
