You aren’t limited by the number of playing pieces you have in the box. Therefore why bother adding extra boxes to take up space? You can reuse the units that died when you buy new ones.

I read a Tweet where Amazon is shipping E1940 2 weeks early. Is this true?

This might be a dumb question but can China get techs? While they can’t benefit from all of them, War Bonds, Long-Range (for the Flying Tigers), and the one which lets artillery support 2 infantry could all be really useful for China.

Well djensen, because of you I broke my oath and got Twitter. Europe looks pretty amazing! We need Global shots please lol

Plus the setup for Global isn’t going to be exactly the same as Pacific or Europe. Some placements will differ

I too would love pictures please!

China can buy and place as many units as they can afford in a turn. They can place them in ANY territory(ies) they control including those just liberated from Japan that turn. They can place every unit bought in 1 territory or spread them out as they see fit. Territory values don’t place a limit on placement.

Well I know it’d be illegal without permission but doesn’t the company reserve the right to post it? I know not many would and I figured the answer would be no but I hoped lol

The weekend after it comes out we’re gonna have a global game played on my brother’s pooltable. I wish I knew more people who play too. It’s always dependant on my brothers. If 1 doesn’t wanna play the other doesn’t either which means none of our friends do either

Hey I’m sure I already know the answer but I’m hoping I’m wrong. Will the E1940 manual be posted online before the game comes out so we can study the rules and dive right in when it comes out? Or is it more likely going to take at least a few months?

So Europe is equal in length to Pacific? I was gonna go by that but i wanted to be positive so i didn’t need to build it twice

I’ve read 2 different measurements on global game. I’ve read that it’ll be 5’ and I’ve read 70" which is 2 inches shy of 6’. If anybody has an exact measurement that’d be awesome because I’m working on building a cat guard and i need to know how big to make it

I still only have like 3 AAA games under my belt total (which is sad since i bought 1942 some months back then discovered p1940 less than a month later buying it). AAA is awesome but i think after techs are (re)introduced i feel ther is just 1 thing missing. How cool would it be if there were event cards? Some random and some that could be played on another player. “Lose forces to disease.” “Add 1 to all of your fighters rolls this turn due to faulty parts.” “Hurricanes cause losses in random sz determined by a die roll.” I think those cards could make for a whole new dynamic and have potential to be a lot of fun if done right. If the cards are drawn just like every 3rd turn it wouldn’t make them too excessive. What does everybody else think?

@robbie358:

3. Why are the convoys and kamikaze symbols on the damn board so hard to read?  I play with a bunch of old people that can’t see well. (<–- thats a joke guys)  You know who you are.

On my board I outlined the convoys with a black Sharpie and the Kamakazis with a red one. That worked REALLY well. I’ve not seen a kamakazi attack either.

Thanks Fanofbond. I had just woke up when I replied, so I wasn’t thinkibg straight.

I think that the navalbase and airbase get discarded. I also think I remember the rules saying the allied power to liberate the Chinese territory puts a control marker under the AA gun. I’ll reread them today and answer for sure if nobody beats me to it.

@Razor:

7- Japan roll dice, starting with lowest numbers wich happens to be the carrier. If hit, remove a sub. Then Japan roll for the Tac’s, and then for the fighters. If hit, they must take out the attacking fighter. Then BB roll and may kill a sub if lucky.

Where in the rules does it say you gotta roll from the lowest number first? I’m pretty sure you can roll in any order as long as you declare which you’re rolling for. “I’m rolling 2@3    first” “okay now I’m rolling for my 1s”

@The:

@ascendancy:

If there are no friendly ships under attack, there is no way that you can scramble. The planes are only allowed to support other units and not to start attacks on their own during the attacking players turn. See page 14 in the Rulebook.

Incorrect i believe. An Amphibious assault is an attack, and so you can still scramble.

That’s right. Like somebody said earlier, a single fighter (or tac bomber) can scramble to prevent any bombardment. At the same time if there’s planes that CAN scramble, the player who’s attacking can send planes to the SZ since there’s a CHANCE for sea battle.

Also remember you can’t bombard with more ships than land units (I don’t remember if they all have to unload from a transport but I think so).

Thanks for the link I knew about that ome it’s just a lot to temember. My week off I’ll look over it again. Thanks again gamerman.
