Game recorder graph sheet

@Locke888 When I first started playing G40, I created laminated cards for each power. One side features the initial setup (including unit cost, movement and attack/defense values), while the other has that power’s political situation, national objectives/bonus income and the overall order of play. I’d post them here for your use, but I can’t find the files. :angry:

I know others have done something similar - check in Customizations. To cover basics, such as the phases of each turn, etc., it’s easy enough to produce your own “cheat sheet” and make several copies for the players to share. I’d also recommend printing out a copy or two of the Europe/Pacific 1940 2nd ed. index I’ve created and attached below, as it will speed up searches when questions arise (as they always do).

Regardless, I believe the intention of a sticky - is to make something stand out…  12 items  vs 3 or 4 is a bit much…

Some of them are even locked, and I doubt are used - like some of the stuff pertaining back to October.

@Gargantua:

That makes it obviously quite difficult to persuade other people to play with me…

Lie.

It’s only that long now, because people are still JUST starting to play.

I think that he said his group hadn’t played it before, so I think it would still take a while.  And even if all the players are used to the game, it is much longer than previous A&A games.

Random note: a lie is to deliberately mislead someone.  That’s not what polybios is doing, so you shouldn’t accuse him of it.

I agree with the thinking here that we should stick to OOB rules for at least a little longer. I don’t mind a few official changes here and there. I always use the errata and FAQ’s that are released after a game comes out due to misprints in the manual or an obvious balance problem (AAP). However, these sweeping changes are too much too fast. Its almost like a few influencial people screamed too early and no one else was able to say, “lets slow down and take a more methodical approach to the changes.”
It seems like we are being caught up in a rushing river and can’t get out. Alpha is evidence that the squeaky wheel gets greased.

I will stick to OOB rules until something official comes out and then evaluate it. If there are a few reasonable changes I will use them, but if it is anything like these Alpha changes, I most likely won’t. I never used LHTR for the same reason.

The two games that I have finished (in one go) have lasted 13 and 15 hours respectively.  I have played 4 others in an ongoing format where we would play a turn every other day.  All of these games lasted over a week.

These are really nice and easy to read.  Printing out and laminating them.

Thanks a bunch…
