G40a3.9 MrGreen(axis) vs SethTheNewt(allies)

@zlefin said in G40 OOB zlefin (L+45) v BobbaRossa (X):

this makes me wonder again how much the axis advantage in victory conditions affects the games overall balance; that the axis can win with less than a full victory, whereas the allies basically need what amounts to a total military victory.

I don’t think it really factors in. TBH, I’ve never actually seen the Axis win by sacrificing half the board. Have heard of it once in a game two other folks were playing, but it’s always been a loss in my games. The Axis clock is very tight and unforgiving.

@Panzerstahl-Helm Thank you! It was a good game indeed and seeing how you caused me different challenges throughout has given me some new ideas how to try and counter them more effectively/look out for them in the future. I used the opening move of taking the German planes to eliminate the French Med Fleet in G1 to my friends local OOB G40 game and created a very different game for our group. Still a lot to learn with the new unit interactions - especially with the Germans!

I’ve got midterms this week but would be good to start another after they are done. Does next week work to start a new game?
