Kind of racist isn't it? What's wrong w/ playing Irish folks? Or german?

Me and my son plan on attending Global.

If you want to come up this way I enjoy hosting. My son & I also travel to play too. Crusader1 was just up last weekend and we had a great game. If you want to host we'll make the trip down. We're gonna head over to WI shorlty to battle w/ SS & Grh2 (Just as soon as I get this cast off my broken leg and am more mobile)

 Â If both sides do everything right and dice aren't ridiculous, then sealion will work about 2 out of 3 tries.

You got that right! Last weekend I think I had the worst dice I've ever rolled. I couldn't roll a 1,2 or 3 to save my life. Most of the night it was 4's, 5's & 6's. That can be very demoralizing and hard to get past.

Did ANZAC and France get free rolls?

ANZAC did. Not France after the 1st round. Have to still have the capital to roll.

I was introduced to a interesting house rule. All teams except China get one Tech roll at the begining of each round of play. Germany ended up w/ 4 of chart 2 and the same for GB. Made for a very interesting game indeed.

In our game the US is spending everything in the Pacific but hasn't  moved from the sea zone off Hawaii due to my positioning of ships and planes in the Carolines and sea zone 6. Most of my airpower is in the Carolines along with 3 carriers fully equipped with fighters and various other ships and i have ships poised off the Philippines ready to counterattack.

So why arn't you smashing the US fleet in Hawaii then? And taking the island while you're at it?

A freind I met through these forums came over Friday evening and we started a Global game in my Bunker game room. He brought his nephew along so it was me and my son (Mad Pup) playing the allies and he and his nephew playing the Axis. Turned into a 16 hour game that was decided by a climatic battle between Germany and Russia after a stalled Barbarossa attempt. Ended at 9:30ish on Saturday. The Axis won. It was a very enjoyable game against some strats I was very impressed with. Man I love this game! So glad I'm finding more folks who enjoy it as much as I do.

this act is treated as attacking a strict neutral, so all strict neutrals become pro-allies.

Really? Even though I'm simotaniously attacking a Russion territory ajacent to it? Is there some place in any of the rules that address this? Or is this just an opinion? (Not that I doubt you YG -I just want to be right instead of my son  besting me  )

I know that if Japan attacks a Russian territory ajacent to the Mongolian neutrals, the Inf. in those territories are instantly activated and become Russian. The question I have is regarding if I attack Amur AND the Mongolian territory of Buyant-Uhaa at the same time, does that mean the Mongolian is treated as attacking a strict neutral so all strict neutrals become pro-allies? Or do the remaining Mongolian units still become Russian? (I hope I'm being clear enough)

According to above post, if I'm reading it correctly, says all KK's have to be declared befor rolling the dice? (Ex: Japan says I'm going to expend 2 KK's on a BS, 2 on a ACC, and 2 on a DS) Is that correct?

Very well done! Looks you really put some thought into the design and practabilty of the design. Impressive.
What game map is that? I havn't seen a AA board like that one. 

Nice. Gives me an idea or two for a portable Global table.

Oops. We're playing a game tonight. My son noticed there's no number 50.   
LOL -I know what I'm fixing when this game is done. Guess I just didn't want my age on the score chart. 

I've always wanted some type of large magnetic IPC chart. Last weekend I finally found the time. My son and I went to Staple Office Supply and picked up magnetic white board, some 1/2" letters & numbers, 1/8" black artist tape and managed to find 12 round magnets. Turns out they're the exact diameter as the team markers so I was able to glue the markers to a magnet for each country. After crafting the the board together, I mounted in between two dice towers then fastened the towers to the table.

After we finished that, I thought some of the stuff from one of the original Axis & Allies games of mine would make for some decent wall art. Note game board on the wall and the team set-up charts on the ceiling drop down above the bar.

Now I just need someone to come over and play a game or two!
