I didn’t feel like I had many options for US1, but I know that they are slow to “spin up,” as it were, so hopefully I didn’t leave myself too wide open. After I submitted, I realized that I left some lonely Infantry in Central US. More rookie mistakes, I’m afraid.

It’s all good.
You’re not doing bad.
Next rookie mistake though, is that it’s Russia’s turn now. Before I can go. :) So please… do post it.

So, any suggestions to salvage at least a glorious defeat? Lol
-
LOL Switch sides?

OK Marine,
Do you want the NO BS Sit Rep? Your position IS recoverable, but you’re on the edge of more than trouble.
THE GOOD NEWS,
1. Economically, you still make more than me every turn. As long as that stays that way, you are winning the game. As soon as that changes… you are losing the game.
2. Japan’s ground game is turns away from Mattering in Asia, You won’t see much heat from them in russia anytime soon
3. Germany doesn’t have much in the way of an offensive into Russia this turn. This is your chance to regroup, and try to build up a standing russian army, that will buy you enough time to get the allies in the game.
4. The Americans have not lost too much of their starting fleet units, and you’ve got some GREEN threat on both sides of the board.THE BAD NEWS
1. The economic game is swinging my way
i2. Russia now only has infantry and AA guns left, they are cut off, exhausted, and about to get squeezed.
3. Africa has fallen to Germany, this is VERY bad news. be smart about what you do there (I’ll give you some help)
4. Japan has 4 transports, and a factory on the mainland, it won’t be long before the pacific is yellow
5. The american fleet is in the pacific mostly… and would be better suited in Europe. But it’s too late to change plans now, you’ll have to adapt!BOTTOM LINE
You’re not defeated yet, and you’ve still got some fight on the board. As long as you’ve still got some fight in your heart, I say you give me a run for my money.NEXT TIP
Take a peice of paper, and title it, LESSONS LEARNED, then in point format write down all the things you’ve learned, like medium stacks being bad, always double checking that your capital isn’t exposed. Not leaving Russian planes on the front line, or exposing tanks to my forces, and especially NOT forgetting to move units, like Russian subs and so on.You will learn your own lessons, and have a record of what you have learned, which will make you a better player for the next game, and we can go from there.

One more thing Satin…
One of my tournament teams has more or less folded, and there’s only 1 player remaining on the team. His name is The Desert Journalist… and well, heh, he’s never even played global, and he needs some SERIOUS help.
So I’ve opted to join him, in my OWN tournament, to vye for the title, until such a time as I can replace myself with someone else (who gets eliminated).
Care to join us? It’ll be a bit of a trial by fire, and we might lose if you screw up, but you’ll be in the trenches with me, so as long as you can carry out some general orders, you should learn how to survive rather quickly.
-
First of all, thanks for the advice. I think I can adapt the American strategy a bit. There is still plenty of fight in my heart, so don’t worry about that. Good Marines don’t doe. They just go to Hell and regroup.
I’d be willing to sit in on your tournament team, and I feel I would actually do better in a situation where I am given some general orders.
I am sorry for slow responses and turns today. I had an interview this morning, and I am hoping to hear something more about it soon.
Just let me know what I need to do for the tournament game. I, like Journo, have never played Global. I’ll have to do some reading this weekend. If I understand the little that I have read so far, Global uses the Europe base rules and the Pacific special rules plus the A+3.9 errata. Is that correct?
-
Take your time, there is no rush here.
If I understand the little that I have read so far, Global uses the Europe base rules and the Pacific special rules plus the A+3.9 errata. Is that correct?
Sort of… If you went out and bought, Europe, and Pacific, you could play Global (At the back of the Europe rules, is the rules for global).
The Alpha 3.9+ stuff, is changes made by larry, to the rulebook, and the setup cards, to make the game better, more balanced, and fun.

You will have noticed two different sets of dice rolls for the same battle in Archangel in your inbox. Shortly (within seconds) of making my non-combat move with the British, I decided against my option, and I wanted to change it. I rebooted the game and replayed the battle. The second time around my fighters stayed alive, but I removed them from the board since they didn’t live through the initial skirmish. Typically this is not something I would do since it can lead to integrity violations and borders on cheating, but this is a learning game. I have no problems conceding victory to the Axis. I just wanted to see if my idea was correct, and how it would play out.

I played the japanese turn, and it errored out, and wouldn’t let me post… I saved the file, and it’s goofed.
I could fix it… but… would you prefer we just start a new game?

I debated taking West Russia, but I figured it best to put some space between the Nazi advance and the Motherland. I still don’t feel completely confident on my stack sizes, but I think that I am doing better than last time.
What do you define as a medium stack? Is it a stack that approaches the size of the stacks bordering it, yet not clearly larger?
