dang it!!  this map doesn’t have the brit acc moved from 92 to 97.  will send correct map shortly.

[boldfresh]

ok, there is yet another problem with the map i posted…  i will send again  :roll:

[boldfresh]

ok guys, my apologies about those noncombat moves not being included in my original map and still not complete on the second map.

third time is the charm, i believe.  dutch, please have a look at the map and make sure its right!

I thought I put my mech in Alberta, but looks like from the write-up that I put in in Central…  oh well.

[boldfresh]

Yes u originally had put urn mech in Alberta.  oh well no big deal.

[boldfresh]

FYI all games going forward are going to the 2nd edition ruleset.

[boldfresh]

2nd edition rule changes are:

1. korea is no longer excluded from the mongolian-russian defense agreement.  ie if russia enters korea, it cancels the agreement and mongolia simply becomes a strict neutral.

2. 1 less british inf in egypt

3. yukon territory is merged into british columbia (or stated another way, no one ever enters yukon territory).

but again, those changes are NOT IN EFFECT for our game, just any games going forward in the tourney.

[dutchmand]

Those are stupid changes. I wish they’d just leave it alone already.

@DutchmanD:

Larry and whatever other designers have made MANY questionable changes and decisions the past 2 years.

i waited 2 years to start playing global because i knew they were going to be changing it so much.  presumably, any changes at this point will be very minor, as these are.

[gamerman01]

Well I enjoyed playing through the evolution and having input into the final game.  Having played it several different ways, I know what rules I prefer.

Here’s my take after all the dust has settled:
The Mongolia rules suck.
The split victory conditions suck.
The Russian NO’s suck.

So I think 2nd edition is a regression of sorts.  Change the above 3 issues and you have a much better game.
But I guess since you skipped all the Alphas you don’t know what you’re missing… all that matters is you’re happy I guess.  Stupid that fighting over Sydney or Honolulu or Calcutta is often for all the marbles.

Well, just my opinion

[boldfresh]

Any update on when we can expect Italy?

[boldfresh]

I am envisioning a big meeting tonight at the Axis headquarters at South Harbour.  Smoke fills the room as the three generals maniacally pore over the map.  A crucial moment in the Great War approaches, and the weight of this moment brings every second into crisp clarity.  A hush falls on the room, and Mussolini begins to speak……

[Bjergmose]

Two of the three generals attended the Weekly gaming session.
Italy was told to move but is still in hiding. Maybe he lost control
and is held prisoner at some remote mountaintop?!

Adolf, get me Skorzeny on line two!
Help Benito out from his cave.

Jerngreipner should move very soon, but we seem to have lost our momentum :-)

Did you know that a Danish soldier was on the team that rescued mussolini?
Know you do. Stoffer Jernslips (Iron-tie) was his nickname (he got the Iron x).

Back to the game….eventually.
