No worries. I’m going to try and get to Japan’s turn shortly. I’m at work so I need a chance to get to my laptop. Hopefully I can so you can get USA and Russia’s turns if you wish.

As I stated before I’d play with you at Global or even one on one sometime. Maybe after we are done this game or something. I’m newer to the game as well. Still working out good go to strategies as the Axis. As the Allies I struggle. Still deciding which theatre USA is best used in for my game style.

As for this. You have a good force on either side which is rare for me. Against my friends I usually roll them with Germany. Not the case here though.  :-D After this is complete I wouldn’t mind a couple suggestions from you on where I can improve my gameplay. As I said, always wanting to learn.

That AA hurts. Especially when my other bomber rolls a 1 damage. LOL

You’re a very good player. I’d like to play a team game of Global with you as my partner one day. Preferably allies, just so I can soak up some knowledge.

This all reminds me of the time I declared war turn 1 with Japan for the first time…

“You can’t do that! You have to wait until turn 4! This isn’t 1942 here!”

Grabs rule book and reads

“Sh^t I guess he can do that”.

I mentioned this because I find a big help for whoever is playing the USA/China/Anzac is declaring war right away. I find it very boring not being at war and I could imagine for less enthusiastic A&A players it’s a “I’m never playing this again” type of deal while going through all those turns watching the Axis and UK Europe take forever to play and all you can do is build armies. If a person is feeling like it’s long and drawn out game then when it comes to their turn they make sure to take their time just so they have some playing time too. And yes we could switch to Global 42 but we all would rather play 1940. I’ve never attempted a G1 or even G2 before though.

Can anyone tell me if the grey and red plastic chips for Europe/Pacific 1940 1st edition are the same as the grey and red from Europe/pacific 1940 2nd edition?

The mini dice idea for tracking plane movement is a good idea and one that my gaming group uses. Even on turns such as G1 and J1 where we know everything can land in Western Germany/Kwangsi. This might take up and extra couple minutes per turn but saves a good 5-10 minutes at non-combat to try and figure out what has what for moves left and also the inevitable argument that will occur when your opponent says “that can’t land there”!

I’m looking to invest in my own trays for components to seperate everything. Once I do that I will combine my global and 1942.2 games, piece wise, into one. I currently do not have a game room so storage is what is slowing me down in doing this. It’s easier for me ATM to place everything back into the Europe and pacific boxes.

I messed up. I wanted to place 2 Inf in Karelia on my place units turn, instead I put everything in Germany. Just noticed. Could you edit that and take 2 Inf off Germany and add 2 Inf to Karelia please? Is that possible?

I need a couple more dice rolls like the Karelia defence now.

This is a major issue for me and my gaming group. Four turns is the max in about a 12 hour span which seems ridiculous. If we are 3 it takes even longer. Our 4th player is like a once or twice a year kinda player. On a two or three player game. After Germany goes, Russia moves it’s east forces before it even purchases then Japan does its purchase and combat move phase at the same time Russia completes its turn. It makes a difference a little bit, but we still do 4 rounds in 12 hours.

Would you like your Hawaiian submarine to submerge or stay and fight for Pearl Harbour?

Russia got some really good luck on the dice/Germany didn’t on R1. The Soviets are the dominant force on the Eadtern Front, ATM. Nice work and good luck. Happy battles.  :-)
