1942SE at GenCon was awesome.

AA50 & AA42 had larger tournament turnouts than Global. AA50 is also considered the “masters” given its the largest attended event. Hence the priority….

Should be that way into the future too. Few people will devote 10-12 hours to play a single game. Its hard enough getting people to devote 5-6 hrs at a time for AA50 and AA42…

I would still like to see g40 elevated to equal status as the others instead of relagated to a 2nd class game.  If we get more global players to these events, then maybe it will happen.

How do you suggest we get players to devote 10-12 hrs to this game. Remember if you even had Single elim, and had 8 “teams”, you would need all three days, 8 on Thursday, 4 on Friday, 2 on Saturday. Sunday is a no-go for obvious reasons.

What do you suggest?

P.S.  My suggestion would be a “1942” start date with the global game. Thus, you could finish in less than 12 hours, and perhaps get more players.

Except none of the global games that my partner an I played at Gencon lasted more than 6-8 hours.  Hell, the g40 tournament was long over before the 50th ann and the 1942 tournies ended. I am willing to bet that one of the reasons there were not more global players was many of them(members of this website) could not make it to gencon for what ever reason.  My suggestion would be a time limit for the game and to have an IPC victory condition for the axis if time was really that much of a problem. Â

Anyways, can you please explain how just because there were fewer teams for global, means that they don’t deserve the benefits that 50th ann/1942 recieve?  Wouldn’t better benefits (at least equal to the other 2 board games) encourge more players to participate? Â

If ever Global brings in the most players (and thus the most $ for WOTC), then they should get the “best” or first choice of prizes. On that I’d agree. But they havent done so (far behind AA42 and AA50) and probably will be. You still got a game (albiet 1942 chose before you) so its not like you got a bad prize. Just not first choice.

As for “equal”, well WOTC only gave Greg 1 version of each. I’d assume once its released he will have more versions to hand out as prizes. After all, the LAST anniversary edition, worth $400+ wasnt given to the winners of the Anniversary tournament…

Where are the pictures of the new map changes or any new pieces?

Gve me some time. I’m working here……
