@gamerman01 Hello I will take my turn soon,. I’m quite busy. I will get to it this weekend, it’s a busy week for me.

@Booper @Daaras Daaras is Britain and Russia I’m everyone else. If Daaras is scrambling his UK fighters I will scramble my French one but if not none will scramble.

@Booper I need to clarify who is who before I say. Meaning with Daaras. I’m inclined to say no scramble though.

@crockett36 Yeah I’m not super great at the other side but would be willing to practice.

@Titus I will look into to that thanks!

@Titus These are wonderful, I wish renegade would make a mat for Global using your design for the map.

@Booper Sounds good to me

@SuperbattleshipYamato Sorry still quite busy…

@FranceNeedsMorePower @Daaras @Stucifer @crockett36 Oops did not see the new page till now, when I replied I replied to Crockett turn question. Happy Thanksgiving! I would agree, really the only way for the Axis to win is to get through the forces in the Middle East, which seems impossible. Had a great time, wonderful game!

GG,

@vodot Happy Thanksgiving! No there are no changes so far as of yet, the only issue is balance currently. The rulebook progress is not the greatest, i have been busy with a lot of work lately and had little to no time to work on it. I’m re-thinking the design of it, I plan on just having a google slide show of it, think that would be easier for the amount of information with this variant. Hope you enjoy, let me know if you have any feedback. I’m also here to explain rules if needed.

Adios,

France…

@crockett36 I believe you are

@Stucifer Nice, I do like G42 a lot more then OOB, really hope Board Game Nation hosts another one :)

@Stucifer Are you guys practicing for BattleFront 2026 now?

@Daaras Are you guys practicing for BattleFront 2026?

@SuperbattleshipYamato Sorry have been really busy lately I will try to getto my turn soon.

@Stucifer About round numbers, our first and second games we could have made it to 6 rounds. But we did/could not due to victory conditions and there being no way to overturn them. What was the time for you guys like, was it skewed? We did a lot of pre-turn planning to the Axis were spending way more time than us. I would recommend that, no one else we played quite did that on the scale we did. It is also the first tournament for many folks like myself, usually in GenCon you can at least make it to round 6. My strategies as the Axis also aim for a round 7, which… became an issue on the last game, (we only did 5 rounds). All of our opponents spent way to much time as the Axis. Even the last time our Allied opponents spend almost 2 hours more than us, and spent 10 mins on purchasing. I get it, btu still they should be doing more pre-planning. The USA’s buy’s do not need to and should not plan for anything pass a round 5. All you need to do is defend Hawaii and maybe Sydney, and drop some drops off in Europe or something. My tip is, first buy is all Europe, then the rest of the game is all Pacific. And that worked really well for us! Does that answer the question?

@crockett36 I know I have just been really busy getting back in the swing of things. It’s also my birthday weekend and we are doing activities (meaning my family and I), so I should be able to take it soon like on tuesday.

@crockett36 You should try the tournament next time :)
