W E    S U R R E N D E R ! !

Don’t drop any nukes please!

[Elrood]

What a dull end… i had no major battle… only took blows and traded land for time…  :cry:

[Private-Panic]

Japan was irrelevant (i.e. merely surviving) and Leo believed he was going nowhere with Germany.

If there was some way Japan could have been relevant in the situation we now find ourselves Seb I would love to hear it.

Of course the trick is not to get yourself into that situation! Still have in mind the J1 DoW being okay if J then takes India thought and someone has now done that against me so will be ready with that for a future game.

[Credulous]

Well I enjoyed it. First win…

Adam’s words back in May inspired me to try really, really hard…

@Private:

@Beginnerallies:

Where is the best spot to launch strategic bombing runs as the allies?

For Japan it would have to be Iwo Jima, Okinawa or the mainland.

Bombers taking off from Guam and Wake Island (each with an AB) can also land in the above territories.

@seancb:

Anyone care to share thoughts or experiences buying 4 strategic bombers on turn 1. Assume no J1 DOW.

Never done it and find it hard to imagine I ever will. The USA’s starting ipcs can buy 1 AC, 2 figs and 2 DDs, for example. Four bombers attacking such a fleet would have a 14% chance of success.

The bombers advantage is movement. That is unlikely to be advantageous until US2 or US3, as others have pointed out. Even then the US’s primary need is often to add defence (ACs & figs) and blocking (DDs) power to its fleets, so that they can be safely forward deployed as a threat.

I look forward to playing against an opponent who proves me wrong!

What’s going on now then? Seen the IM’s (from today can use Whats App again as phone credit reset).

[Elrood]

I am trying to convince the others to http://www.boardgaming-online.com

Thats a site dedicated to “through the ages” online.

I just dont know how to teach leo and adam the rules… they are more complex than A&A i say… although the online engine prevents game errors or unallowee moves.

You have an idea how to break em in?  :roll:

[Credulous]

Bear in mind Seb that I’ve never played it either! Its long been on my purchase list along with Twilight Struggle, but never got round to it. Hopefully this birthday/Christmas. When I do get it Adam and I can learn it in our monthly sessions (although is it any good two player?).

I’ve just got a £50 reward at work, but I’m going to contribute that towards Star Wars Rebellion which looks incredible, and is also very highly rated on BGG.

I think it would be a shame if we stopped playing Global 1940 but is Leo too busy nowadays? Maybe if we adopted a slower pace without the relentless pressure to take a go as soon as it was your turn might help?

That is probably true. I have asked Leo whether it is the case.

[Elrood]

We dont need to stop. But a new game would be nice for a change…

PP and Cred… may be go to boardgaming online http://www.boardgaming-online.com
And create an Account. I guess it would be easiest if I teach you and then either of you has a call with the big man and guides him through?!

Just to get thinks started.

Seb

Happy to give it a go Seb. I have come down with a cold though and my head feels like mush, so can I hold off for a few days - by which time I may actually take it in!

[Witt]

I forgot to move one of the German Subs out of SZ107  to SZ103.
Japan, please do.

Have you played Germany yet, PP? Seb has played both.

[Private-Panic]

I don’t think I have, so perhaps it is me as G&I then. But I think J is up next in this variant? So need to wait for Seb which means he can say whether he is happy with that.

[Witt]

Seb and happy in the same sentence? You kidding!
You can be Germany and go to the Ball, Cinderella. We don’t mind.
