What's the first thing you'll do upon getting Europe 1940?

First thing I will do is ship all pre-orders (I will get it a few days before release  :-D )

Then I will open it and set up the Global game…  Then I will sit staring at it for hours in all it glory thinking of all the possibilities.

Suppose I jumped the gun with inviting friends.  Should it read.

Open the box, looking for missing units and typos, wait for replacement pieces and clarifications?

ducks from the incoming flames  :-D

@calvinhobbesliker:

Connect the boards and set up everything and take in the epicness!!!

.  Yep that sounds good

I’ll probably open it and put the two maps together to look at the global game, and then my friends and I will play just Europe 1940 to see how good the game is and learn the new rules (there’s always new rules).

@Imperious:

I will milk India and feed the calf’s.

LOL

Put the two boards together.
Ponder setting it up correctley, or perhaps set up a 1945 cold war brewing scenerio.

Look at the bored for about a minute.

Of course, but to me the picture says they don’t match up.

It would totally figure if WOTC made such a mistake.

You know very well Cal Moore did something to our game. The question is whether it’s more typos, missing pieces, ect…

They don’t fire that guy who determines what goes in the game, nor do they fire the guy to does the typesetting.

Of course i hope i am wrong, but something always happens and if not all the better.

Put on clean underwear.

Yay im one of those pre-orders! I’ll just focus on G1 strategy no doubt.

ah, yhes…thu meny spellyng mastakes that wii kan reli on.  So very true.

whos Cal Moore?

UN Spacey,

A-town here as well.  You ever play Axis and Allies at Great Hall Games off Lamar?  I need some practice with the new rules/Pacific40 before August.  I got a copy of AA50 and Revised as well.

@idk_iam_swiss:

whos Cal Moore?

The head chimp at WOTC.

I will probably go to the furniture store to buy a new table. I have serious doubts that the game will even fit on my table! What is it something like 36x60?

write an angry letter cause they forgot to include mech inf and tact bombers…

It’s 70" x 32" plus you need room for charts and pieces. I too will prob be looking for a new table.

That size is almost the same as a Warhammer match. Add charts, dices, money (sacked from old games  :-P ) and similar stuff, and you have the same size. Interesting coincidence

my dining room table has a center insert of 18" that will “just” fit the global board.

I think the players are going to have to keep their charts and pieces in their laps. That way no one can get up untill the game is over.
