OK!
a very very important lesson was learned in trying to play this, and that is to only play when you have enough players to spread out the drinking. Two players trying to play this will end in disaster every. single. time. And let me just say now, Owwwwwwwwww :oops:
We had successfully made it through 3 whole turns before I cant remember anything. I believe the game was stopped when one of the “observers”(someone sober who was watching to make sure things didn’t get out of hand or dangerous, strongly recommend doing that) watched my opponent, as Germany, try to invade Italy 3 times and realizing that I had fallen asleep, but before doing do I had taken to using French pieces to represent newly mobilized Soviet forces. The strategic situation that I found this (painful) morning was pretty grim for all involved. The Germans were pushing on Rome, while the British were in full retreat in Africa. London hadn’t been invaded, but that wasn’t much of a force there anyway. The French were entrenched in southern Russia and the Ukraine, while the Soviets were holding the northern half of the country and trying to fend of the Germans in Belorussia, and it looked like the French in Bryansk as well. The Japanese navy had completely surrounded Australia but had lost control of the Philippines to a large US fleet, that had neither air-cover or transports and men. The US fleet was made up of 4 destroyers, 3 cruisers, 2 subs, and 7 battleships, for some reason.
I hear by recommend that the 21+ A&A liquor list only be used in a game with 4 or more players, ideally 5. In a two person game I will strongly insist using the beer list, which I’ll be working on now, please make your suggestions now. :-)
