We are playing this weekend and we are allowing 12 hours, 9am-9pm. 1 hour per turn is a good pace!!
for the first turn or 2, after that you should get a complete game round plus most of another round in 1 hr. |

try this to speed the game up.
Since your using an updated '39 map of my map, try letting the Japanese player start his turns, during Russias turn. since all of IJN's naval power and Most of it's Army power is out of reach for the ruskies, you should be able to start IJN's turn "early" but you still would use the normal turn order. Just don't let IJN roll any dice till RU is completly done with its moves.

thisd also works for Italy and USA, until USA can influence Italian moves, you can also start USA turn "early". You can do this with most Countries. Start new country turns during the previous countries Non combat moves and Placement. The map is rather large, so there is always space on the map to start country turns early without screwing with other countries abilities to act normally.

Not to mention after 2-3 rds of play, the board cleans up and everyones turn goes quicker, especially if players know what they r going to buy and do b4 their turn starts. the reason I think this game takes so long is the vast number of units to move around for all the countries. But once everything is basically in their respective stacks, things move forward nicely. Also you might consider not only using Fleet markers, but also Army Markers. These work really well and keep the board clutter free. Its alot easier to move 1 Army Marker then 20+ individual units and chips.

I am late to the party but I love the whole idea of this. I want to order a map but I play with colleagues at work over our lunch hour so it takes forever to get through a round - say about a week per turn. I just don't know if I have room to setup a 4x8' map - though that is what I covet - you mentioned you'd rework the territories so 3x6' was less cramped. How is that board vs the bigger one now.
Incredible effort by the group here. Qudos.

This revised map is still a work in progress!! But it will be a better map, and a not so crowded map!! |

46" X 96" (1.16m x 2.44m)
34" x 72" (.86m X 1.8m)
I believe this is correct.

So if I want to score the 34" x 72" map it is worth waiting for a new revision in about a month?
