Yeah, the Europe and Pacific 1940 games were released last year.  They’re each about $60.

[mojo]

@souL:

Maybe we could divide the US up into regions if we have to.

east - west :D

I would say North-South, but all of us who are signed up are Yankees… :wink:

Not all of us…I am a spy hiding out… 8-)

Not to be confused with the old Europe or old Pacific.

You buy Pacific 1940 AND Europe 1940, and the 2 together give you global.  The global rules are in the Europe manual.  But you need to go to Larry’s website to get the latest ruleset - just print them out.  So if you find P40 and E40 for $60 each, in other words G40 costs you $120.

I use my pool table when I set it up…she does not seem to be upset at swapping one game for another :)

[questioneer]

Since I’m from Detroit area and US is filled I could spot for Canada- Global only though.

[450thMSAF]

you can add spots bro

[dutchmand]

Just like in the world cup or the world classic, a player of a certain heritage can play for another country…

My father was born outside Utrecht in 1943 during the Nazi occupation, my grandfather a sergeant in the Dutch military when the Germans invaded.  In order to balance out the country selection, I’ll play for Holland.  My brother will play for the U.S.

[DarthMaximus]

I also added in the game totals.  I think its accurate.  Looks like the 3 games played will be G40, AA50 '41, and Revised.
We might have to move DefS to the Canadian team.

Looks like we might be able to get two Canadian Teams, Two European, and possibly 4 US teams.  I’ll have to go through the players and games to see if it works out.  Otherwise we can do mini-tournaments to see who represents which game.  If that’s the case we won’t get to 8 teams, but we could get 2 US, 1 Canada, 1 Europe.  Where the excess players would have at least had a chance in the “play-in” tournaments.

[DarthMaximus]

Here’s how it could shake out with G40, AA50-41, and Revised as the games.
With 4 total teams (2 US, 1 Canada, 1 Europe).

Team USA

G40 - Ol’ Blood and Guts, SAS, Gamerman01, 450thMSAF, BigBadGoo, Questioneer
AA50 - DarthMaximus, JWW, Ol’Blood and Guts, Soul, Mojo, SAS, Gamerman01, BigbadGoo
Revised - DarthMaximus, JWW, Mojo

Team Canada + NZ

G40 - Axisplaya, PGMatt, cts17, Captainhook, Definitive S
AA50 - PGMatt, cts17
Revised - NoMercy

Team Europe

G40 - Captain Kong, Funcioneta, GI_Joe, DutchmanD
AA50 - Amon, Yoshi, GI_Joe, DutchmanD
Revised - Amon, Yoshi, Funcioneta, GI_Joe

–----------------------------------------------

Team USA would need qualifiers for each game.  (3)

Team Canada would need qualifiers for G40 and AA50.  NoMercy has no competition at this point. (2)

Team Europe would need qualifiers for each game.  (3)

As a reminder, you can try to qualify for as many as you want but you can ultimately only play one game once we get to the World Cup portion.  Also, Europe can actually field two teams as is pending how you would want to match up players for each team.
One more Revised player for Canada and they can field two teams as well.

We’ll keep going with sign ups and see how things look at the end of August.  At that point we may want to consider starting some of the preliminary elimination matches or figuring out a way to form the teams.

[TheDefinitiveS]

May as well call it team Commonwealth.

[Gi_Joe]

Maybe i don’t get the point in this, but do you mean to play qualifier games to participate in the last 4 teams?

Do we wait for this qualifier games until the end of August, when the signing in closes?

BTW, i think it’s for the time being better for me when i don’t play G40, but to play revised.
With G40 i’m still a starter and the first few games didn’t went too smooth  :-D

Let me know.

I missed that.  I didn’t realize you had Revised down as well.  I editted my post to show you in Revised as well.

@Gi_Joe:

Right, once sign-up closes then we’ll worry about trying to narrow the field down.  I’d be open to each team deciding on there own as well.  For example if there are 6 players for Europe and they all agree to make two teams and have three on one team and the other three on another (without ever playing a game), that is fine by me.  But again we want to get the best Teams possible.  Again we can talk about that a little later.
This initial sign-up was just to make sure we have interest in this sort of unique format.  Which we do.  We’ll be able to field enough teams to make it worth it.  It’d be nice to get a few more players though, so we could do 8 overall teams.

Correct about the qualifying.  An example might be better.  Take Team Europe G40. 
There are currently 4 players who said that they could play G40.  Since there might only be one slot for “Team Europe”.  We’d have a little mini-tourney to decide who represents Team Europe in the"World Cup" for G40.  We’d do the same for AA50 and Revised if needed.  To get your 3 players for the final Team Europe.

Obviously you don’t have to play in any or all of these, if you wanted to focus on just Revised that would be fine.

I just wanted to list the Teams/Players a bit differently in the above post so we could see team by team, which games (G40, AA50, Revised), might need time for preliminary matches.
