12L AA50-41 Gamerman01 v LL(+12)

Pretty tough luck there in Z12.  No point in continuing since you broke through into the Atlantic.  Well played.

Cheers

Thanks - really good sport to say well played after all the important luck being on my side, it seemed

Again, I say to you well played because making it interesting for 9 rounds was definitely an accomplishment.  One last time - sorry about the dice - but we both probably learned things from this game anyway.

Unfortunately that is both of our league games for 2012…  As you know I’ve been busy trying to keep up with the others, but I would always welcome a game with you.

You don’t play G40 yet, right?

With you, I would welcome a 1941 or 1942 AA50 game with tech, but without tech would be ok, too.  If you’re interested in spending time on a non-league game.  I haven’t played 1942 for so long…

Feel free to decline

Cheers, and thanks once again for the good sportsmanship

I am interested in learning about the Global game.  I could play a game with you in that?  I think I am going to finish my game with souL and not take any more AA50 games until the next league starts.

I do have one other active AA50 game, against Tyzoq.

Great, Lucky
Like I said, I have my hands pretty full with games right now, but whenever (any time) you want to play Global with me, just let me know.  I am a teacher by nature, so I would enjoy helping you learn it.

Do you have access to a rulebook - online or anything?
Have you ever watched or played in a G40, E40, or P40 game?

Cheers

I read some stuff on this site a while back, but that is all.  I have not seen a rulebook, are the rules even final?

:-)
It sounds like the latest (Alpha 3.9) is going to be in the reprint, so I guess it’s final.

Actually many of the out of the box, original rules, survived.
Most of what was tweaked was scrambling, strat bombing runs, setup, NO’s, Mongolia (Sino-Russian relations), turn order, AA guns, submarines blocking amphibious assaults by lone transports, convoy disruptions, and 3 techs.

OK, so he did change an AWFUL lot, but still…

Actually, a lot of the OOB rules are repeated in the current Alpha 3.9 rules.  You can read them (I printed them) at Larry’s site.

I can brief you on whatever topics you want - you can learn it by asking me questions, or just tell me what to explain…
Have you read much of the 1940 FAQ thread?
Again, have you actually watched a game?  If not, perhaps you could look at my current game with Karl - if you don’t understand something, just ask.

[LuckyLindy]

Good idea, I could go through your game with Karl.  How do I view the maps?

[gamerman01]

You just need the G40 module for Battlemap.  I’ll try and find it for you here.

Try here:

It might work to just go to the first post and download the installer and re-install battlemap - I don’t remember.  If that doesn’t give you the 1940 module, you should be able to find it without too much trouble.  If not, let me know.
