Things you can do in a seven player game if you get shafted being China

@Soviet-Steamroller said in Captured Industrial complex in China?:

So long story short it is better never to make any assumption when going back and forth from 1940 to Anniversary right?
If it is not clearly written down then don’t assume it!

Sounds good. However, there are many parallels in the rulesets. But not in this specific case - neither in other cases.
Better check the rulebooks/FAQ, as “assuming” or “believing” is sometimes misleading indeed. :wink:

In case of doubts just ask of course! :slightly_smiling_face:

Slackaveli, the tech is the same as old rules and continued in to Global, except research is not lost like it is in Global.

thats what we ended up  after lots of arguing. Sad that we didnt notice that para.

Thank you

I voted '41 w/o NOs.  However, my vote is pretty meaningless since that is the only type of AA game I’ve played  :|

I do believe that the '41 scenario without National Objectives is pretty balanced with perhaps a slight edge to the Allies.  However, it seems that ultimately if both teams play well it really comes down to dice in determining the victor from my experiences thus far.

Welcome to the forums Merlin!  My brother, a work friend and I played a game this weekend.  We started at 9am and went on till 6pm!  The game did manage to finish with Axis getting 16 Victory cities.  Our games usually take a long time because we do not get to play often, so my brothers and cousins go at a slower pace.  If you get to play more frequently, people will fall into their groove and the game should start flowing faster.  Good luck with the next game!

With bombers reduced to 12 IPCs I think we will find that they rule the waves. Also with what experimentation I have done based on the now know to be incorrect '41 set up the Baltic fleet goes down much more quickly and painlessly for the Allies.

House Rules!

They always add flare like what you were saying attack on russia only formidable until japan attacks them which would be really historical and maybe making territories like “midway” worth an ipc for the axis and not for the allies love house rules like that

That is another good option. Seems we agree with USA and UK should not be played by the same player  :-)
