@seancb we also use a giant piece of plywood because any oval table we could find won’t fit the whole board. Its much better to have something under the board (or vinyl) because prevents the board from getting knocked or moved and has at least some sideboard area for piles of chips and drinks and extras. Still, we need dice pits and another area to put most of our stuff because the game is simply that yuge.
Africa style

So have you guys tried to hit france with germany for 1 or 2 rounds of dice and retreat to let italy nab it? To try and do a more africa heavy style game with italy? My dice were too good… ended up taking france :\
Or alternatively cross turkey to get to africa?

taking turkey can be done bu germany at round 3
but problem is spain: the US has a far shorter chain, straight from US to spain
not to mention south-american income and troops -
It is an interesting thought, but I believe Germany needs the cash more than Italy.
I guess it would really depend on what England does, but then, you won’t know that until England’s turn.
