Differnt starting dates for the global game

The other thread hasn’t been sticky’d yet.  Here it is.

Alpha + 3 Charts

I find the AI does a much better job on the latest 1942 game. At least as Axis.

@Surrender@20:

Also as a side note. Sitting there using a calculator defeats the purpose of playing a game. It’s a matter of your skill and ability to size up a battle. Not using a computer to play in place of yourself. I won’t stop someone from using a calculator…but they have 20 minutes. Use it wisely. 😛

I normaly actualy use a laptop computer iso a calculator. But that is just for the buying part.
That way i can buy most of my countries in advance while the other player plans his combat moves and i can quickly modify them and never go over the costs.

Cuts down buying from 5 minutes to about 1 minute.

But how do you handle the big stacks then because counting the units takes up some time. Especialy later in the game stacks can be in the 40ish units

Will these ever be updated for second edition?  They are too great to be forgotten.

Thanks for info. Will plan on coming next year.

17, the bid follows classic bid. you can go 20-13… jeez

STOP MAKING THIS MORE COMPLICATED. HE ASK SIMPLE QUESTION AND YOU MOCK HIM. THEN WONDER WHY FORUM HAS ONLY THE SAME PEOPLE.

But yeah I’d house rule against japan cheese and give axis a bid. It’s simple, you move in allies sz territories you declare war. thada!

FYI Adobe Lightroom will compress the pics but still keep best possible resolution. There are other tools but this one is straightforward to use and the full version is free for 30 days. I’m a creative photographer and use it all the time.

To change picture size - import pics first. Then select pics to change, click Export (bottom left corner) and under File Settings / Limit File Size To, put in the size you want. You can also clean up the white balance and tone to take out that yellow tint.

An oddity for me today:

J5 and Japan just took Iraq.

No one else has touched the middle east due to various reasons.  India is turtled and earning 5 ipcs.  London was taken and some bad roles seriously hindered the UK overall.  U.S. just liberated London and is starting to gather in Pacific (2 turns til at full attack ready)

So now Japan has Iraq with 5 inf and the SZ has a transport, carrier with 2 planes, a sub, and a cruiser.

I’m thinking I might put a factory there and be a giant PIA the rest of the game.  Threaten Cairo that way.  Or support my attacks on Russia… about to finish off China.
