Personally, American Football is my favorite sport to watch. I would watch Hockey and Basketball if they were in Seattle.

Basketball is a SAD fourth place to Hockey, CFL, Young Grasshopper Live Stream.

Except basketball makes more money than all those put together by a factor of 3. Curry makes on average 40 million a year. Who in NHL does?

Ah, YGLS, the best sporting event of all time.

@GeneralHandGrenade:

Who cares about Lebron? He can’t skate or shoot a puck to save his life. It’s been decades since they’ve seen a hockey game in Cleveland. I can’t even remember a single player who suited up for the Barons. Now they have to settle for watching basketball. Poor buggers.

Their football team is doing them no favors

@Imperious:

Lebron will not be happy

Poor, poor Lebron…

BREAKING:

NHL accepts Seattle’s application to expand the NHL. Season ticket drive to start shortly. And knowing Seattle, we will fill any stadium you ask of our fan base.

@General:

The poor snakebit Sharks don’t even get a mention!

San Jose right?

@Gargantua:

The Canucks is the ONLY team you need. Your life won’t be complete until they win the cup; which means you might just live forever.

When Seattle gets a team, it will be a great rivalry between the 2 teams. Also wouldnt be surprised if either expansion franchise wins the cup before you guys do  :-D.

The Canucks are the only team near me. Other teams on the coast are the Ducks and the Kings. My friend is a ducks fan.

Also, any team suggestions that I should follow before Seattle gets a team? Give me a reason besides “Just because”

@GeneralHandGrenade:

Totally sailed that one right over your head Hunter. I’m sure Stuck Tojo would get it. It doesn’t seem to matter how many first overall picks Edmonton gets, they’re still looking for a team that can play in the league. :roll:

I am still learning the teams in the NHL. I new to this. I want to be ready for the Seattle Team  :mrgreen:

@Gargantua:

Quebec City needs a team back. It was BS they were stripped of the Nordiques! And the stadium infrastructure is already built! Waiting for the team.

I agree. I watched the Good Friday fight as well (It was suggested by a friend who is into hockey). Geez, each team beat the living tar out of one another.

Yeah, and so does Houston, Kansas City, and Quebec City.

@Imperious:

NHL needs to shrink to about 3 teams :roll: Lebron James could be one team

Lmao. Anywho, Seattle mayor approved the Arena remodel. So there is a high chance Seattle gets a team now.

To add on to this, Houston and Quebec City want teams as well.

Thoughts on where it will go? My preference would be Seattle.

I like the Ideas proposed by both these guys. A thing I would like to add is kinda how the Chinese operate in AE. Along with their purchase, they get 1 infantry for every 2 territories they control.

@Charles:

I’ve said it once, and I will not stop.

Global 1940 is imbalanced because China is useless versus and decided Japanese assault.

Don’t give more money to the biggest ally in the game.  Help the small guys.  China is perfect to upgrade for more reasons that one:
1: they are ahistorically underpowered
2: Japan gets deeper into China round one than they were in 1945
3: Strong China prevents Japan from helping with Russia so much
4: More Chinese fighting Japan = more American in Europe
5: Simple setup changes and house rules can easily be implemented to without upsetting common things like J1.
6: Most people make it like China is useless, but giving them a better chance will provide an all-around funner experience.

Some suggestion:
Add Chinese infantry to the empty spaces
Let them buy artillery all the time
Let them buy AA when Burma road is open at beginning of turn.
Allow Russian volunteers to be converted into Chinese troops. (Historical)
Use some other well-known house rule like forcing Japan to cover every Chinese space or a partisan will pop up.

Wow…, I like that! Those are good ideas

@Young:

Give the Americans a battleship off Washington and a battleship off Honolulu… That’s my quick solution for G40 balance.

Have you ever play tested that?

I know you’ve said that your group doesn’t like any kinds of bids that affect the Axis opening moves any way.

Giving stuff to the US doesn’t really affect the Axis opening moves.

If you are giving the US a Battleship in Hawaii, then you are effecting the Japanese turn if they decide to go after the Hawaiian Fleet. That could manipulate them to go for it now. I usually find Japan goes for it Battleship or not.

I would agree with that. No airtight strategy exists for the Allies. The best way to play is to do reactionary play because the Axis have control of the game at the very beggining.

Isnt that the reason why “Middle Earth” almost unbeatable, unless you do a Sea Lion? It helps a lot of areas. (India, Egypt, Moscow, etc…). Its where its placed. There are a lot of 2’s in that area, along with 4 VC’s, 2 of which are capitals. Whats that old saying about the middle of the board wins the game? That applies here as well.

Curious, what exactly do you think needs to be changed with the national objectives. Add some, take some? You dont want to hand the game outright to one side.

I would like to counter and throw 2 destroyers in Washington instead, and keep your Battleship off Hawaii.
