Ya get the 48" stick, and I like that ministers chess set with more squares on board.
Have you ever cheated at an A&A game?

I think I miss counted my income by 2 because I accidentally counted FIC when I didn’t control it for one round, but reclaimed it afterwards. I asked my opponent “did I collect to much two turns ago” he said “I don’t care about $2 man”… and that was that. So my answer is yes accidentally, but I did tell him. I also illegally scrambled planes from ANZAC by accident, but I told my opponent about that as well.

Does ‘accidently’ forgetting to point out your opponent should have 34 IPC not 33 for one round?� He really could build an AC and 2 fighters but with only 33……well he did get that missed 1 IPC the following round…
No, I do not believe this is cheating. It is an error that is the other person’s fault. Even so, I almost always tell the person if I notice that it has happened. If you do notice and don’t say anything, you are playing pretty cutthroat. To me, it diminishes any success you have because the game is not as real or legitimate as it could have been. The only way I might not say is if the game was not a particularly friendly one… but even then…
I am also okay with letting people roll research dice out of order; if they forgot to. Or collect money from a previous turn that they neglected to do (so long as they can mathematically prove it and it does not alter previous events in the game). I know some people (one really) who always makes a big deal out of stuff like that, when the problem was an honest mistake or omission. I think you are just a dick at that point.
A victory with any hint of cheating is not worth having for me.
Same. Therefore I do not cheat. If I notice I have made an error, I will fess up and offer reparations.

Great way to live life and play board games, I try to play/live that way as well. If anything, I try to be honest/agreeable to a fault, allowing missed non-combat moves 99% of the time. I do this to have ‘money in the bank’ so to speak knowing I will eventually screw up and want to withdraw some good-will from the bank of karma!

That is an additional benefit. It will inevitably happen. If your opponent knows you aren’t a hard ass yourself they will usually overlook the common mistake.

Cheating is stupid. Victory with it always has an asterisk next to it.
It’s just a freaking game and if you have to cheat, you have major psychological problems and should address them rather than play games IMO.

During my first ever game of Global (and never having played either Europe or Pacific either), I accidentally counted my armor as costing only 5 IPC’s for a few rounds. I didn’t mention it, because it made no real difference as to the outcome of the game. We didn’t have the time to finish it anyway, and the situation on the board was “undecided” regardless of whether or not I had a few extra tanks because of the error I made.

I made the same exact mistake the first time I played global, I did tell my friends that I made that mistake, but not until later and they said it was ok. I’m pretty sure that the had made a similar mistake.

I caught someone buying aircraft carriers at $14 a piece, he said it was a mistake, and I believed him.

At least you guys didn’t only collect only the Europe IPCs for Russia for half the game, when playing global.
Yeah, and we all wondered why Russia was getting crushed so easily. Me most of all… :roll:

Just like all the steroid use!
