All test games are 1 vs 1.
Basically, we always play 1 vs 1. This is the most fun - and each player get maximum challenge.
And it is easier to cooridinate games this way.
Concerning wives - they knew from the beginning that Axis & Allies is part of our lives. Besides, they mostly spend the time shopping etc. anyway.
During yesterday’s Global 1943 test game, we experienced a German Combat Engineer unit in North Africa - after the German Take Over of Italy.
This unit worked together with a German Panzer General and a few other land combat units.
It reminded us of a rule that we play tested years ago: Desert Combat Formation.
We’ll look into that by January 2022. This rule might re-surface.
