Your a good man Grenade. Much success to you!

Was a lot of fun! Hope to do this again.

Thanks for the shout out!

I find it interesting to see both persons videos.  We tend to notice and speak on slightly different views and ideas.

No discussion for a while now…

Any new conclusions about this strategy?

What’s about an airbase at Gibraltar and moving Egypt fleet west? Yet, I guess there was this topic deep down at forum’s splanchnic times ago but couldn’t find it…

If you’re like me then you have people ask you every year around this time what to get you for Christmas. If you’re tired of getting socks and sweaters and would like some wicked stuff to pimp out your A&A board or get that sweet new Anniversary game then I have your answer.

I’ve created a video for you to send a link to those people who ask you what you want for Christmas. All you need to do is go there and figure out what you would like, make a list, check it twice, then let them know the number of the item(s) that you want. You don’t need to watch the whole video either. Below the video in the description box I’ve listed the time in the video that the item will be shown so you can go directly there. It also includes the price and where the item can be found so it will be easy for your grandma to pick you up a set of E-Bards Capital and Victory Cities or whatever it is that floats your transport. Or you could not do this and enjoy your new soap-on-a-rope that smells like Old Spice.You can find the video here;

@TheAlabamaBushWookie:

Not meaning to necro a post here, but I was trying to get in contact with HBG, as I can not get an answer from the HBG website and I’ve sent HBG a message on this forum, but it doesn’t show up in my "sent"box.

Their facebook messenger and email are the best ways to get a hold of them:

Yes I agree that more VCs needed in PTO and Japan should have to work to get that 1 more VC in the PTO. I do have a VC Capital in Manchuria for my 40 game but with not having 18 inf in area it doesn�t seem to get pressured much.
Singapore is out of the question due to Japan being so strong by islands from G40 game reports. Got to make Japan earn it. Just some thoughts.

I’ve settled on my house rules (for now) and so I’m going to release my files for a free download for anyone that’s interested in using them or even just checking them out to get some ideas for your own set. The link to download them is at;

I also made a video with my house rule set that I use and the copy that I have sent to Young Grasshopper to put on the prize table at the Grasshopper Invitational coming up. It gives a summary of all of my house rules with a quick explanation of each as well as a close look at the units and markers. You can see the video here;

The 17 hour game was Global 40. We played 1914 for 7 hours but it was never in doubt after about 4 hours or so.

I use sea planes for convoy raiding and as tactical bombers against a naval force with target selection on a 1.

@GeneralHandGrenade

To keep the discussion alive, i´ve been making some strategy videos.

Here´s one for the UK:

Thank you stormchaser and welcome to the forums (officially).

@Argothair said in UK Strategy -"Middle Earth":

The fighter+sub bid in the Med is interesting

No one else does as of yet. Although I have seen people do the same attack but with 2 fighters from London. Which is highly dangerous. One game I was playing axis and was disappointed to have 2 hits.

Some very excellent ideas here, thanks General for pointing me to this section!

No Trenacker. Just get a white primer and don’t forget to put on some sort of clear coat after to protect them.

Thanks Tirano. The reason that I didn’t take Southern France on the first turn is because I want to disguise my trip to the Med. I want the UK to have to bite on Sealion and they won’t know that the Italians aren’t taking S. France until after they have taken their first turn. Other than slipping a couple of units into Northern Italy (which I try to do inconspicuously)I have given no indication at all that I’m going to the Med. I don’t need to put units on the complex in S. France right away anyway so it wasn’t necessary to have it on the first turn.

This pic is of IL’s map and I am making a custom table for these smaller 1 on 1 games. Will have the wing affect on end like my 2 custom gaming tables with 1 dice box and battle boards. I will post pics when I get it done. Guys in group looking to play this game.
I’ll be able to take it anywhere I want to play.

Yes IL I know about the flooring. Just ain’t around. I’m still looking.

Thanks GHG for making these videos. When I get the time, I will be sure to check them out. Thanks again! :-D
