Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anybody has played BBR with G40. I’m not big on “Variants” of any game. However, with G40 being way too long (thus TripleA and G42 tourny versions to play in one sitting) I was somewhat interested in this. I downloaded the rules, and wow! This is amazing! Can’t wait to play! Basically G40 with slight moderations and improved victory conditions. It looks like it’s really gaining steam with a lot of people too. HBG’s 1936 Global War and other of the like seems too complicated- like G40 on steroids. That’s NOT what I’m looking for. IMHO, BBR takes a good game in G40 (minus the long victory conditions) and high bids and makes it great. I’m interested to hear if…

1. Anyone plays it here, can you play it on Triple A?
2. For those who have played several games? What to you think of my early assessment so far?
3. For the critics, what are the cons in your opinion that makes you play other options.?(I’m assuming if you want something more involved, that you look for another variant game).

I would play, but I just got into BBR (BloodBath Rules) Ruleset for G40. Pretty popular these days…with tournaments in 4 cities now. Probably the best version of the game I’ve seen yet…and I’m not one for house rules or variants either. You should check it out…You can search quick rule tutorials on Youtube.

Long time Triple A player that has returned recently. It’s been several years so I forgot how to set up a Triple A PBF game. G40- 2nd edition. I downloaded Triple A. It will come back to me once sometime reteaches me again.

@The-Captain Yes, interesting that these rules may become “official” at some point. Personally, I like BBR for its simplicity and not overly complex.

1. You can actually finish the game in one sitting.
2. Rules are minorly adjusted or tweaked to maximize dynamic play.
3. Tech and objectives are slightly adjusted to open the board for more strategy to a new level.
4. Play and action are so much faster and impactful in this version.
   In a nutshell, its just more fun!
   …and as they say…
   “Once you BBR…you never go back!”
   So true!
