@Wizard League play is the only way to go… It is really “fun” games that count… So you take it with a little more seriousness then a fun game… But like right now I am trying many different things… Making it fun and different for me… I am used to playing live and TripleA allows you to take your time and try different layouts, moves, and situations… something you can’t really do in front of your opponent in a live game… Also the community here is great… I played a game took a 2 year break and just came back and people are treating me like I have always been here… The page is fabulous and I am very grateful that it is here… So find a game or two – heck I will play you if you like… I just play for fun and experience is all… I want to win, but don’t care if I do…

Excellent work!! I sure wish I could afford something like that!! It is just nice to see on the board… So much diversity.

Hi all!! Coulee Con 2019 is in LaCrosse, Wi

It is a small con-- about 650 people in its 5th year… I will be running a Global 1940 game on Saturday, Aug 17th at 9 am if anyone is interested. Hoping to have enough players to have a fun game trying out new ideas with new players… If you are in the area I hope you can come on down.

Trulpen is a fun player to play with!! I have to admit he will make you think!!

@SS-GEN Great reports and even better photos of the whole thing… Thanks for sharing all of you. Looking forward to coming the next time!

@barnee Barnee Sir Dudley doesnt care what he gets to eat… He will spy for you for any food… He prefers full hamburgers to be honest!!

@Caesar-Seriona No, but they did do it in a month and each turn in the game represents how long? 3 months, 6 months… If so taking out France should be relatively easy.

@barnee Thanks Barnee!!!

Wow, this is some incredibly great work you are doing… And thank you so much for sharing!!!

@Folgore77 Thanks Folgore!! I had a great time and it was great meeting you… The game has lighten a fire under me to play more A&A and trying to get people in my area to play… I plan on returning if I can beg–get Carl to drive again!! Hope to see you again!

Very good. Yes from playing the Anzacs they really need to hook up with the British and US as fast as possible otherwise there is really no threat for the Japanese down there since it does take time for the US to get there to really make a nice group. What country did you play this game? Carl, got diced – that is funny – that normally never happens to him - he is incredibly lucky normally.

Ray,

Thanks for all the pictures!! Looks like you guys had a great time.

The chart looks interesting. Is the new technologies something you guys have been playing with lately or is it just new!!

Looks so fun!!

I like both of the options. Tokens or Flame markers… The flame markers would bring special attention to the damage they are doing.

Maybe we could use something really distinct like a flaming marker for convoy box damage so that it is clear and obvious. A lot of times there are so many units on the board you can’t really see the map. Just an idea. The map is so good and has so much on it really don’t want to see it changed.

Yup, understand it was only 21 ipcs… But it doesnt allow the USA to have any type of air force that it actually had in the war. I mean I couldn’t even think of having a bombing force or a large navy. USA is really cash strapped. I understand you are trying to balance the game the problem I have is that Germany is so large numbers wise in comparison to actual history compared to the USA and the UK.

@gen-manstein

Well it was interesting in that you said I should have 3 transports groups of 5 transports. I had 3 groups of 4 and could not have spent a single more ipc on them because I only had minimal air and minimal navy. If Germany would have had any more air he could have destroyed the fleet. So I don’t know where and or HOW I was going to get MORE to Europe than I already had. I was getting about 40-50 a turn from Ryan and 80 on like turn 4. I am curious on how you would go about getting 3 groups of 5 trans, navy, air and ground units?? The ipcs to do so just aren’t there. Unless you abandon the Pacific and you don’t want that to happen either. You just can’t have it both ways. Just saying.

Justin played Germany and did one heck of a great job at it. I played the US East and UK and had a hell of a time dealing with all the subs Germany and Italy had. I had to deal with about 33 subs in all in the Atlantic… Talk about a lot of fun–not. Justin put up with my many mistakes like with Tactical bombers being a 6 then a 4 and then a 3 for taking out subs. Many a time Justin had to correct me with my rolls and he was very patient each time. I could have done a lot better in the Mediterranean and was too focused on Europe proper but it all worked out. Italy ran rampant in the med but did not even try to take Cairo. Problem was Justin had a lot on his plate with Germany and Italy so it worked out the way it did. Thank you all… Had a great game but I am so sore from all the up and down. LOL

If you are in the Milwaukee area and would like to learn how to play this version – Like I am… Talk to the General and see if you can get an invite and come!!

@gen-manstein Looking forward to being there!!! See you all tomorrow!!

@gen-manstein

Ray, those are some awesome pieces!!! I bet you they cost a pretty penny!!! I love how they look.

Mark

@gen-manstein

I honestly think a cost of 8 is way to low for a med. bomber than can do 1-6+1 points of damage to a territory. I mean in the regular game a 15 cost bomber can only do 1-6 points of damage. I think this makes the med. Bomber way to strong.

I also don’t agree that land territories should be able to be bombed. It really only helps the UK bomb France and Europe. It won’t help Germany in bombing the UK. I just don’t see how it helps everyone and equally in any way.

I like intercepters and separating med. bombers and hvy/stg bombers but disagree with all the damage they can do for their cost.
