The poll has been reset to decades. I didn’t put 10 and under because I would assume a 9 year old or under would A. not have an account or B. not be good enough to really matter. If you don’t mind voting again it would be cool to see a more precise counting

Yes grasshopper I am fairly young, and I didn’t expect so many people older than 30 or so still playing. Sorry

I’ve played both and spring '42 seems just like revised but with simplified rules. It seems that the territories and everything are the same, unless i’m thinking of another game. Hope this helps

This will definitely be a great game to watch hahaha.

I wish I could be there and bring my play group. We are all young as I said before and I think it would be a great learning experience, and I think it would be neat to put faces with names and meet everyone but sadly I can’t :(

@knp7765:

Some people think that since they have such a huge income that it’s easy to play USA, but really in some ways that is the hardest country to play.

Agree with this. We used to just stick the newer less experienced players as the U.S. but that proved to be bad for the allies cause when they when the U.S. entered and all the other allies needed their help, they weren’t ready and allowed the Axis to go “hog wild” and win the game.

About the U.S. having enough production to win the war…… I think it depends. It seems no matter which board they spend on, the other board will grow to powerful and win. I Personally Think that the U.S. should try to halt Germany and Italy first because all but one victory city they need to win are on mainland Europe, while Japan has to move around to capture them, and they must invade Anzac, Hawaii, or Western U.S. Spend enough in the pacific to keep the Japs at bay while eliminating the German threat in the Atlantic and Europe. Just my thoughts.

I thought the U.S. could get involved after Japan attacked FIC or is that just that Japan losses the NO?

That makes sense. I was only just introduced to it last year and Global 40 was my first game that I owned.

I was just wondering what the average age for a player was. I’m 16.5 and most of my friends are around that age, but I hear alot of people talking about their wives and rules for 21+ so i’m just curious.

Looks amazing! Is the forum layout going to be the same as is or changed in someway? Looking great, can’t wait!

Thanks how are casualties choosen because in your game it seems as if you just keep rolling without intervention until your ncm

How do you get the dice rolls on the forums?

Love to play a game online but not completely sure how it works.

I like your strategy and I think it is very good. What you pointed out about the U.S. is my biggest pet peve in the game, especially with the V.C. But about my Japan strategy. Pretty straight foward…

Buy 3 trns J1
Attack all i can in china, moving forces in manchuria south and splitting korean inf between manchuria and korea. Group main fleet around Home islands, and smaller fleet of 1 CA, 2 DD, 1SB, and 1AC with fighter and tac off of caroline islands. Load up trns on turn 2 and move south in position to take D.E.I., Burma, or Philipeens turn 3. That smaller fleet off the Caroline islands deals with the ANZAC fleet and used as blockers to stop U.S. for invading home islands until my main fleet can regroup there.

Thanks I’ll try that next time. Also I’ll probably poke around norway, france, and italy with U.S. and U.K.

I just figured the russians needed as many units they can get. I was going to do it anyway to destroy or just wound that stack

In our most recent game the us and uk invaded normandy and liberated Paris multiple times however the us was shouldve invaded west germany cause it was wide open but sailed his trns back to us even i said buying more would be faster as he already had the units in eastern us

The pourpuse is to destroy the germany inf stack in finlan plus if u succeed and also take norway then thats 2 territories for that russian NO. Tonight i will probably roll it out a few times to get a better understanding.

Sorry to barge in, but while were on the subject……

What would the odds be of 5 inf 2 fig and 1 tac bomber -vs- 7 inf?
