Couldn’t even find anything man. Go ahead and post if I’m what’s holding you up.

@allweneedislove:

@djensen:

Except the victory conditions, it looks like the rules are the same as 1942. Same with the unit prices. Stupid $6 tanks.

wow that is crazy

so economy and purchasing are very minor in this game. when germany starts with 12ipc the purchases mean very little to the overall outcome of the game.

more importantly all versions up to now it was important to take territory to keep your economy running. now the pieces on the territory are FAR more valuable than the territory itself so attacks and defense will be decided accordingly.

That’s one of the first things I thought about.
Maybe because the units are so much more valuable that people will be hesitant to attack, which is what pushes the game’s length upwards.

Col. Ty Webb

Just with my bare hands?

Let me get the calculator…

add the fear in their eyes as life left their bodies…

divide by 3.14…

equals √-25 or 5i

Col. Ty Webb

Had a long delay in my turn. A friend called I haven’t spoken to in a while in the middle and when I got off with him I forgot I has started. I checked the map to make sure that I got all the Non Coms in, but be prepared to make a possible adjustment.

@Gamerman01:

@Col.:

Don’t see what’s wrong with hoping more people play Axis and Allies.

Nothing, of course!

You misunderstand me. I just think that if someone gets bored trying to learn a medium game like 1942, that starting them on a very light game like this new 1941 is highly unlikely to result in that same person ever playing the very demanding Global 1940.

If you can get him to play this new game, I’m happy for you! Just found it amazing that you think he would someday play global 1940 when he doesn’t have the patience to learn 1942.

There’s a difference between learning and actually playing. Once you’ve learned how to play you might like the game, thus making it fun to play and not boring. Once you learn the mechanics it all comes done to scale.

Most of the friends that I have played it with have said they see where it could be a great game once you got the rules down, but it was taking over an hour a round to keep going over the rules, movement, combat sequences. Once those are figured out, even on the easiest A&A game, you can move up from there with just a few rules and pieces added each step.

Col. Ty Webb

Maybe there’s a rule that you can’t blitz through China. An Acme speed bump if you will.
It reads “US Supported Chinese Forces” on both the Chinese territories. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Col. Ty Webb

[quote author=Gamerman01 link=topic=27527.msg970102#msg970102 date=1338998719]
I don’t remember who wrote that they hoped this would lead to playing Global 1940 with their friends.

I totally agree, allweneed, that you should be able to have a great time playing this game in a short amount of time with buddies. It looks perfect for that.

Just saying that’s a far cry from playing Global 1940 with the same people, if they have a problem with time commitment on less involved games (less than Global) like Revised or AA50
[/quote]

I wrote it.

I haven’t even asked most of the guys I know to play 1942 because of the playing time. The few that started didn’t play long enough to like it before getting bored with the slow pace of a newbie.

If this game can be played in an hour and a half, they might find they like playing and be willing to give 1942 a try. After getting the hang of A&A mechanics they may like 1942 and be willing to move up again. But none of this happens if if they don’t play 1941 and like it.

Do you suggest I start with HBG’s Global 1939 and work my way down to this instead?

Don’t see what’s wrong with hoping more people play Axis and Allies.

Col. Ty Webb

Also wondering about abilities like submarine’s surprise attack, or SBR.

Would think they would be removed for simplicity, but with the destroyer present the sub rule may stay.

Col. Ty Webb

I didn’t notice the India IC. That could change things from the regular game play as well.

Col. Ty Webb

I posted the initial IPCs a couple posts back. They are interesting.

I guess because the US and UK has to purchase a navy that they get the big difference at the start.

Any easier shuck for the allies, but German air power has a further reach now too.

Col. Ty Webb

I see they increased the listed playing time on it to upwards of 3 hours :?

With less IPCs (from a glance I think the US starts with 17, UK with 12, Russia with 7, Germany with 12 and Japan with 9) there could be a tendency to delay attacking with the inability to replenish your losses.

36 to 21 in initial setup seems to really favor the Allies so I’m sure the Axis have more troops, which would historically be correct anyway.

Still, hope most games don’t take the three hours it’s now saying.

Col. Ty Webb

Thank you!
Haven’t even looked at it yet, but thank you!

Col. Ty Webb

I’m with Variable. I may rip the game, if I think it deserves it, but I really hope it’s something I can get my friends to play. Then maybe Spring 42 won’t seem so bad, then maybe Europe or Pacific 1940 then global. I’m most interested with the map myself along with the initial setup, just for that reason.
The cardboard is a bummer, but I have chips if need be.
I’m just really hoping this is a game that stays true to A&A yet can be played in an hour and a half almost every game. Depending on the map, maybe there are some different setups and rules we can make to make it a longer game if wanted, but Right now I just want a true introductory game.
