  • This game doesnt come close to the G 40 Its like a giant classic that has been cut up into more spaces and some new units


  • Seems more board-gamey and less of the “experience” of G40. G40 feels like a war. Like you get anxious as you’re planning and executing. I’m kinda over this already. Want to start a G40? Same thread? New thread?


  • Sounds good to me I’ll start one tomorrow and that way I’ll have some turns separating my games, It’s tough having 3 or 4,  I. 3’sand their so simular that you get confused and mess up or forget something.
      Look for it tomorrow


  • Sounds good.


  • Yeah, I’ve got 4 games going and I just did a J5 and by the time I got to NCM, I had forgotten what game I was playing and what my purchase was. Moved like 19 planes and the navy, got to the place units phase and said “Huh… I thought I bought an airbase in this game… uh oh… looks like I need to completely redo all of that!”


  • Its good to meet an other addict. look for the A 3 6.1 is the real game although this looks like it could be a good game to beat on. I’ll need scrable orders for the 2 sea zones 110 & 111, I’ll look for the post
