I think it arrived!

@panther Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, I have finished translating the whole rulebook, but I’ll be sure to use if I ever translate the 1940 and 1942 versions. Right now, I’m going to work on the Anniversary version instead, even though I don’t own that version (nor the 1940 and 1942 versions). Thank you very much for your help.

It’s a general concept of every A&A game (at least those on a Global scope, also 1940 Europe and 1940 Pacific).

I was confused by the rules for a while regarding that. I thought it was each group (all units that hit a 1, all units that hit at 2) roll for all the units.

When I moved on to Global 1940 and brought that mistake with me, it led to a problem where 12 US bombers (give or take) were unable to sink a Japanese fleet of 1 aircraft carrier, 1 destroyer, 2 fighters, and 1 battleship.

I figured it out later on, and I’ve been playing correctly for a year.

@andrewaagamer That’s a good analysis. So you can’t really stop an invasion attempt but you can see it coming hopefully and can put enough defenses to defeat it.

Where I was puzzled was I thought there was a way to prevent the landing but besides stationing a huge fleet offshore a decent ground force seems to be the way.

Thanks very much for your advice!

@panther
Interesting. Thank you.

Yeah, well, there’s nothing rose in terms of accuracy. I’m waiting on people’s responses on the accuracy of War Room and Global War before thinking about purchasing them.

I’m cool with a simpler game. I love Global but it takes a long ass time. Our group plays every two weeks for about 12 hours per session so we never finish a game of Global in one sitting. We like to mix it up and play Classic, 42, Anniversary, and Global. When we play the games other than Global we tend to get two games in per session. Sometimes we don’t finish the second game but we generally do. My particular group might not want to play a game that only lasts 2 hours, 6 times in a row but a short game like the one they are promoting is something that could fit between an AA50 game and a Classic game.
So far all we have is speculation and poor promotional information that contradicts itself. WE shall see. I promise this though. When I get hold of my copy it will remain inside the shrink wrap until our next game session and whether we are in the middle of a Global game or not we will open it and play it all in one day and it will end up being reviewed on the Dicetruction Podcast.

Check us out on iTunes but don’t listen back to the beginning cause recording quality sucked a**.

Oh wait! this is supposed to be Russia Ideas….

My first act as ruler of Russia is to execute Comrade Stalin and allow the Red Army to retreat without fear of their family being killed.
