Speed it up. 40G games the list of general ideas


  • some ideas I like to Speed up the game , without really changing it

    Battles

    Second in command
    *When doing the battle fase
    use two not playing gernerals to fight small battles for you
    Example , playing as Germany
    you have 2 large battles and 3 small ones    , let your second in command (japan)fight these small battles for you,

    So 4  rolling players
    turns and bankers
    Germany’s , Second in command Japan 
    Russia’s turn , Second in command  USA
    Japan , Second in command  Germany ,
    USA , Second in command  Russia  ,
    United Kingdom , Second in command  Anzac ,(If 2 players control UK, the US will be , Second in command of india,)
    Italy , Second in command  Japan,
    Anzac , Second in command UK banker USA
    France

    Income face IPC’s
    the player that is acctually waiting should calculate the IPC…
    the Income fase takes up time and this is not nessesary when playing with alot of players

    turns and bankers
    Germany’s  the banker Anzac
    Russia’s turn and the banker Anzac
    Japan Banker Italy
    USA Banker Anzac
    United Kingdom banker USSR
    Italy banker USSR
    Anzac banker USA
    France banker USA

    The banker should help with the purchase fase.
    he will deploy the units in the deploy zone.

    Ordering units right after your own turn
    this is a Side rule and could change the game a bit

    order your units right after you finish your turn
    (you ont have to show what you are buying (keep it under a cup,until its your turn again)
    the rule is this:
    when you don’t have to change the order when its the beginning of your next turn
    you will get 1 IPC for discount
    and/ or if you want to change an order you have to pay an extra IPC

    Well what could we do faster? without changing the game ?


  • I would highly, highly recommend going “Three-Turns per Round”.

    Axis Powers go first.

    Then, Russia & China go.

    Finally, Allies go.

    If you have 8 players that know what they’re doing, this makes a very intense G40 game happen in about 7 or 8 hours.

    Axis and Allied forces can attack together.  Russia may not attack with Allied forces.  China also may not attack together with Allied forces.
