Yeah, I wish they put the couple of rules not in both books in the global section at the back.
Europe has the straits rule.
Pacific has Kamikaze and China rules.
If you’re aware of that, it isn’t too much of a problem.
What is your most insane game of Global 1940?

There was a game i was part of which saw Italy invade and take Washington DC. Italy also had a Major IC in Brazil. The weird thing that occurred was The Soviet Union had a part in taking back and liberating DC. Germany was pretty much decimated early in the game by horrible rolls and dumb moves (mostly on my part). The game lasted around 35 rounds or so and took several weeks. It was just an overall odd game. Japan ended up with most of Africa and ANZAC built a pretty formidable Navy and Air Force due to neglect by Japan. Anyways I gotta say although it was a blast, I hope I don’t have another game like that for a while, it was pretty rough.

A KJF that failed!
Japan managed to keep the US at bay a few turns too long while Germany gained an insurmountable lead. Massive tank battles in the Middle East between German tank columns and US and British forces resulted in a German move into India. Germany had also managed a full on assault on the US East coast and took most of Canada, South and Central America. After boxing in Japan, the US tried to contain Germany’s expansion but failed. The game was called for the Axis after Germany and to a lesser extent Italy controlled all of Europe, Africa, and Asia. The only thing that may have changed the game (or prolonged it) would have been the ability of China to move its massive armies out of China – a rule I think should be changed, say if there are no Chinese occupied territories left.

I do not believe KJF is ever the solution. SJF is much of the time.
I assume your Italian major in Brazil was OOB, it’s not valid in Alpha 2.

Had a game come down to Stalingrad. Germany controlled it, but Russia took it back. Japan then took it back again, but Calcutta took it from the Japanese. Italy retook it barely with a single unit, so the Axis won when Germany began its next turn.

Are you sure it does not start over with Italy?
-
Even if it did, it’s highly plausible that no one had anything left to attack it with.

hmmmm, this would be a good scenario to post in the FAQ to get an answer from Krieg or Gamerman. -
At the end of the game (it was going way too long) Japan occupied Washington and London but had lost their capital to ANZAC and Berlin had been captured by The Soviet Union. The only powers left in the game were Italy, USSR, India, China and ANZAC. Had the game kept going, the Japanese soldiers in London could have easily liberated Berlin.

Now this sounds like a crazy game. Japan takes out the US and can still liberate Germany. Wow!

Anymore insane games?

Think I am going to have that game against LuckyLindy in the league soon!

well this not on global 1940.
I was playing as the axis in the revised Edition.
At the End of the game:
Germany had Western Russia, North Africa, UK, Persia, and Eastern Canada.
Japan had Pacific, Asia, Eastern Russian, Africa, India, Western Canada,Australia and ALL of the US.
No allied Territories were left.

Well I don’t have Japan liberating Berlin, but this was an…odd game.
The strangest move was Italy pulling out of Africa to recapture UK.
But what made this strange is the power went out at 7:00 pm, on G2. That means that Sealion was fought in the dark (1 flashlight only).
-
wow, lots of weird games.
-
any more?
-
this idea is crazier than it actually happening but…
back in OOB europe, USSR took Berlin…via AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT!
he left his capitol lightly defended (something like 4-5 inf) and russia sacked it with 1inf, 1arm, 2 ftr, 1 tac & 1 BB offshore! lol
shame they took that tran away…
lol -
Germany finally took Russia, United States invaded Berlin and failed, but the UK was there to finish Berlin. Fortunately, Italy took London. We called the game after that because the Allies had control of the seas but no land units left in the European theater and Germany had the ability to liberate Berlin.

Deffiantly the game where USA did all the work. (I am Canadian) Anyways I was the US and kinda Russia. Anyways the gane went like this for each country
Germany: turtles all game….
Italy: Makes African gains going back and forth
Russia: Has all this infantry ready to defend
E England: just fights navally and fights for Africa
P England: Holds assets and takes DEI
Anzac: makes a navy with little earnings and sends fighters to India
That stuff is all boringJapan: decides forget the U.S. Sends everything including navy towards the pacific India and china and USSR. All 30 planes. He basically has all these forces ripping through china and getting poor dice eventually gets hit by American airforce
I was like okay… Small transport fleet with my awesome fighters who tech roLled jets and + 1 attack. So I pooped on Japan which he left empty basically. Then I sent my fighters to China and got lucky roles. Go to the Russian front. Not one attack… Its like they are friends or something. So the attack on the eastern front was American. Roughly 100 fighters since I was making 10 a turn. The eastern front is won. With the russian army which did nothing take the capital. Same for Italy.
France: got screwed
Pooped on Japan: First game we were making code names for everything.
