Also…
All units are expendable, if the expenditure accomplishes something. Most units will be expended, but the challenge is to have them go in a way that they gave their money’s worth. Another important aspect of the game, which should be apparrent to a veteran player, or one with intelligence, is shielding of units. Some units (the more expensive ones) need to be protected by the less expensive ones. Infantry need to take hits for tanks, Destroyers and Cruisers should take hits for carriers… etc. Being able to scrape your expensive and better units out of a fight is essential for continuing operations and saving money. Make your enemy bleed more than you do.

OK, you can vote up to 3 times and if you will:
indicate how the length of the game correlates with the # of players,
how enjoyable that game played considering downtime, length of game etc etc
and if you ran out of any pieces especially Italian cruisers :-D

4 players. Takes a eternity. Run out of Japanese control markers :-P

I played two games, one with five players, one with six players. Both games took a long time (6.5 hours and 9.5 hours) and both games ended with my side having 12 victory cities and thus in a draw according to OOB rules. We didn’t run out of any pieces, though game going on next to me ran out of Japanese markers! The game was fun both times, though too slow and long for my taste, and I would have liked the game to have ended in something other than a draw.

I’ve played probably six or so full games. 42 once the rest were 41 W/NO and tech. Every time with three players. Idealy we would have a fourth. Anyone near Seattle?

played one with 3 (just testing the waters, so to speak), and the rest with 6. the USA ran out of BB’s once, and Germany ran out of control markers in a different game haha
-
3 Players total, but we’re building up to 4. Hopefully we’ll hit the magic number 5.

We play with four,
hoping to add another. We also speed up the game by going all Axis then all Allies. We are going to add timers, to keep the game moving, we include a 6.5 hour time limit on our games, with pizza and beer, or in my case a shot of whiskey can not be with held.
