How long do your global games typically last?

[rhesusman]

I want to put one together when I have the time and I'd like to know what you guys estimate the average number of turns to be and the average number of hours so I know how much time to budget.

It lasts about the same amount of time that it takes to grow a beard.

Depends on whether you go 'all the way' or stop when the war is irretrievably turned in one sides direction.

First game I was in lasted 9 hours until it was abandoned (allied advantage was insuperable).

my group's first game of global is 23 hours (and counting)!!!!!!!!!

[Tavenier]

My only global game so far lasted 4 hours before the Axis gave up.

First Europe game; 9 hours. But we talked, went through rules, ate, drinked and farted.

My feeling is that Europe shoudl take 4-6 hrs, global 5-8.

Do you all think AA50 and Global should take the same time...?

I have played 5 games so far.  Two games had  axis concessions within in 8 hours.  Two games were called a draw after 15 hours and the other game was somewhere in between.

We've played one so far and it lasted about 5 hours. Germany took England on G2 and we played a few turns out past that before the Allies figured it was hopeless and surrendered.

I started a game in the morning of August 25th, it's now been seven days and I'm on Italy's turn in the fourth round.  I have no kids or cats at home to destroy the board so I got it set up on my dinning room table and the room stays closed off from traffic.  Told my wife that it's not the Dinning Room anymore, it's the War Room.  I'm just playing by myself taking lots of time to think of the best moves to make.  It's been very interesting.  Right now it's leaning twards an Axis victory but the tide may change.  I'm at that teetering point of the game, could go either way.  I had found a couple of mistakes I made along the way, the biggest one was not understanding at first that the UK now has Canada to help get a ships in the water, (was still thinking old game).  A strange start also because Paris refused to fall to the Germans.  It's sometimes amazing how many times the dice can be so one sided.  France couldn't roll anything but ones and twos.  I would have been better playing Yatzee cause I think they got two of them.

Our first game of Global ran twelve hours--I want to say it was about nine rounds.  Didn't play it all the way out, but Axis had pretty much run out of momentum, so we called it.

1st game I won on G3 with UK takeover. It took about 4 hours. 2nd game we called a draw(i believe i was ahead as axis). It was 2AM and we were too tired to continue. That game was about 8 rounds. Italy was kicking A@#, they had run out of roundels!!

So....no one has finished a game yet....(myself included)
