Unfortunately leaving it for a week isn’t an option. We could take pictures and reset it, but the players tend to change based on who is available.

I like the grand battle idea, we may give that a whirl.

I have a group that plays G40 in person twice a month. A typical play scenario is to play 12+ hours until we’re wiped out, then have a heated arguement for about 30 minutes over who would actually have won if we continued for another day or two of playing.

Does anyone have any ideas or techniques that they use for determining an actual winner in a limited timeframe? VC’s? Units on the board? some type of point system? etc.?

The game is OOB, and that isn’t going to change so it’s not an option. ‘Freezing’ the game until the next session is also not an option.

Thanks,

apologies for the delay, I didn’t notice that we were bracketed up yet (it’s fishing season so I’m not too focused atm ). I pinged everyone to get the game set up and going.

hmm. Taking the island did trigger TripleA to ask for Kamakazie orders, and I thought that was consistent with the rules. either way, I’ll finish the turn later today.

I’m bringing 1 Anzac cruiser and trans to Phillipines. Do you want to Kamakazie? If so, how many?

Vold

here’s something odd. I did the German turn yesterday but saw today that it wasn’t posted. I thought I may have done it locally by accident, but I checked and the dice server was utilized so I did do it PBF. However, something happened and it didn’t post to forum.

I can’t recreate the turn from the dice emails, so I redid the turn. Nothing extravagant happened on either version of the turn. In fact, this version leaves me a little worse off than the other one if I recall correctly.

It’s the best idea I can come up with to move forward unless you have a better one.

I apologize for the mix up.
