Transatlantic Alliance: Global 40 TripleA Test Game #1

[Guest]

@P@nther:

I had to use Edit Mode for two Japanese fighters to be placed on the new AC.

No problem. One thing I have discovered is that it will not let you place the fighters at the same time. You must first place the carrier, then do a second placement for the fighters.

[Panther]

Yes, that was exactly what I experienced, too.

[Guest]

I am going to do the US and save it here at work since there will be no dice rolls. I will post the turn summary with the map. When I get home at 7 tonight (my time), I will take care of China and the UKs

[Panther]

OK, fine!  :-)

Let the war machines roll!!!

[Panther]

Very impressive! :-(

[Panther]

I’m happy that in the tournament you’re not my enemy ;-)

[Guest]

I think between us we will do well  8-)

[Panther]

It was of course a good idea to test playing before going into the tournament.
I must admit that at the moment I feel a bit uncomfortable with this game.
Don’t understand me wrong - it’s a lot of fun to play.

But it is all a bit confusing: declare war or not and the resulting implications for example.
Is it better to declare war as soon as possible or later? Bringing the US to war at what point of the game…
As Germany when to attack Russia.

I already figured out what I would change in J1.
I think I lost some tempo not bringing a transport to SZ 36 in turn 1.
Let’s see how this will continue…

AA50 and Spring1942 seem to be as a picnic in the park compared to Global40 :-)

I like the J2 attack. You are right about the other games being a picnic  8-).

I have not figured out the attack on Russia yet. Personally I prefer to go after England.

Strange, the turn summary for the British were not posted :?

[Panther]

Or maybe you forgot to trigger the posting?
How did you do it on turn one?

[Guest]

That is weird because I thought I did post turn summary

[Guest]

I looked at the map and at least it shows the UK turn.

[Panther]

That is strange. How does it work?
Can you do all movement and combat and Ncm and UK placement and then trigger a turn post? And after that place UKpacific and do another turn post?
I supposed that was how it worked in Turn 1.

Or is it just one turn post for all. In that case I would wonder what happened on turn one.
:?

[Panther]

But never mind… We’ll see in turn 3 what will happen.
I will test this in a test game and eventually inform Veqryn if necessary.

I will continue later this evening when I’m at home :-)

[Guest]

It was do all buys, combats, and noncoms on UK’s turn for both UKs, as well as place units for UK. Then you post UK. After that, it has you place units for UK Pacific and post.
