Also remember that one piece is NOT one unit.

A BB may be a single BB 9plus obligatory escorts).  But a FIG is at least a squadron, more likely an entire air wing.

I was wondering how long it took to play the Europe Axis and Allies. Also, what are the differences between Europe and the world versions? If the units were the same, I was thinking about just printing a copy of the map off at Kinko’s and reading the Manuel on line.

But that was not 9 VC as counted for game victory.

Sure, the Axis REACHED 9 VC at the end of G’s turn, but then lost a VC to UK in the same turn, then a capital VC to the US in the same turn.

Since VC’s are counted at the end of the turn, that was only 7 VC’s axis, with the capital los being critical.

You count the VC’s after US’s turn.  And, if at that time, the Axis have 9, you might as well hang it up because it means that they totally control Europe and Asia, and Germany gets to build again (probably with $45 or more since they hold all their starting VC’s plus at least Leningrad).  So even if the Allies are poised to strike, Germany gets to reconfigure, redeploy, and place lots of new units before the Allies get another swipe at the Axis
