@panther Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, I have finished translating the whole rulebook, but I’ll be sure to use if I ever translate the 1940 and 1942 versions. Right now, I’m going to work on the Anniversary version instead, even though I don’t own that version (nor the 1940 and 1942 versions). Thank you very much for your help.
Reports?

I have been teaching my 8 year old to play with this game, and so far it is great. He is working on math, pre planning, geography and causal skills. I think this game is perfect for a quick fix and or for teaching. I think there is currently a significant Axis advantage although my proof is only antidotal, after I have a few more games with someone who knows what they are doing or against myself, I will have a more definitive answer. But I will say every build counts in this game, and pre-planning is a must, any singular bad build can loose you the game, especially for the allies.

Interesting that so much strategy is being thought out for this game as when we first saw the reviews we were thinking this was remedial A&A. I’m starting to think this might be too difficult for the ten year old. I’ll have to let him be the Axis I guess.

This is not a game to be taken seriously. That’s why it would be fun for kids. Tanks that blitz from one side of Asia to the other?
Also if you want to teach history try and go with a historical game. -
so is the lesser amount of IPC’s is really the secret for it playing faster? does that mean if you cut the IPC’s of europe in half you could finish a game in a few hours?
-
Probably. Would be unfair to the Allies though as they start with fewer units and their extra income is compensation. Thinking of US in particular. Might be worth a try. Global can get tedious, so Europe often my choice of game. What would you do about the NOs? They could double Germany’s and Italy’s income.

1/2 rounded down for those as well I suppose.

For all the guys that dream of a wife or girlfriend playing Axis and Allies with them, then 1941 is a very good start.Â
lol I got looked at like I was from Mars when I asked her to play a game of '41 with me.

Try again, but this time tell her if she beats you (at the game obviously!), you will buy her some shoes.

I did get her to play one game of D-Day about 6 months ago.
