Welcome CraneDeNicollo. My friend got me started on Global 1940. I have also started playing Global 1939 which is a very complicated game but plays like Global 1940 with slight rules variations. Recently, my ten year old grand daughter took a real interest in the game and my friend suggested the 1942 second edition version. It was simpler but still a real challenge. I have one a game against my teacher in the Global 1940 so I felt some what confident as I entered the game but soon found myself scrambling to just survive as my grand daughter lead Germany in a global tear. She says she wants to be President some day…God help her enemies if she makes it. Now she plays the ANZACS and China in the Global 1940 game pretty much on her own. Both games are great but her trouncing of her grandpa in the 1942 games have inspired her to learn more. If you are wanting to gain experience and learn stratagies, I recommend 1942 to start with.
Revised BB newbie question
-
Long time A&A player, first time Revised player.
Rule book states BB takes 2 hits to destroy. First hit, lay on its side. If it survives battle, replace on board in upright position.
Does this indicate that it is “repaired” automatically if it survives battle after taking one hit?
i.e. German BB attacked by US takes one hit. Russia attacks next attempting to finish it off - how many hits does it take to sink it?
-
Yes. BB’s automatically repair after battle if not sunk.
-
Though, many have made house rules that dBattleships are repaired not at the end of the battle, but at the start of the next round. This simulates the time needed to actually repair it and simulates simultanoius attacks by allied nations on battleships. Not to mention, it’s just more fun if a submarine can damage it and another from a foreign nation comes to sink it. gives subs a chance to actually do something other then look pretty.

And some people I’ve talked to have made it a rule that BBs repair only in a SZ that borders an IC…
-
I think that rule is a carry over from one of the other versions of A&A (Europe, Pacific, etc.)

Isn’t that how it is in World at War (1939 Version with France and China?)
I liked that one too, but it resulted in battleships camping friendly industrial complexes.
