It should be just as likely as Germany’s planners thought it would be in WWII…

What that % is, I don’t know…

Myself and a friend play G40 and have the game in the New Albany, IN area if you guys want to try to set something up PM me.

Played my first game of Global this weekend. It was a lot of fun, but very long.

I screwed up Barbarossa after a successful Sea-Lion. I shucked my German troops in by tranny in the north and split my main walking army body going around that marsh in the middle of Russia. Before I knew it, a Russian counter attack on R 4 or  5 killed one of my two main armies and I was out numbered and retreating in the south.

Should I be walking a big stack of troops south around the marsh and transporting a northern force then later through Novo in the north? How many troops do you leave in London?

I still won the game but I really need to clean up the German eastern front strategy. I really like all the new territories, although it’s much tougher and longer of a conquest. Thanks for any help.

If playing the latest setup of global, do any of you buy tech?

Going to start playing this game and the strategies I’ve read seem to avoid it?

I mean, couldn’t a country like the USA buy a tech token or two and get a few rolls and likely a tech before Japan even declares on them?

Thanks for any help/ideas.

I’m pretty much a novice at this.

But I’d take whatever ships you had left after turn 1 to sz 2. Should at least be one destroyer and transport left.

Build a carrier and park your couple fighters on it. Also build a crusier and transport.

Turn 2, move fleet to France or Norway, build another carrier and crusier and have the American planes parked on it during US 2.

By this time if he’s still building bombers you should be doing damage on the eastern front with Russia.

I’ve got my first live game of AA50 coming up this weekend, been playing a little against the “Moore N’ Able” AI on AAA which is not very hard to beat. Just started learning and reading these forums and reading some games over the net.

The guys I’m playing with play without the National Objectives.

How would that affect the general strategies I see on this site?

My thoughts as a fairly new player:

For Axis:

1. Germany/Italy maybe don’t have to push as hard against Russia, and focus on securing Africa’s IPCs?

2. Japan focuses on the money islands and SE Asia even harder?

For the Allies:

3. Egypt isn’t as important to hold, better to shift forces towards India and try to build the IC there?

4. The small islands, and Philippines and Hawaii in the Pacific become pointless for USA, focus on SE Asia and Africa in tandem with GB?

5. Russia plays pretty much the same or supports China more?

Anyone have some ideas/thoughts for me?

Thanks!
