RE: "Cone of Silence"
I do not like “Table Talk” regarding strategies and missed moves/opportunities in Multi-Player games (as long as it is 2 vs 2 or 2 vs 3, etc…)
Players can all talk at the start of each new round to plan general strategy…but thats it.
Not really the original point of topic…but, what the hell…

RE: Flight Stands For Global…
You can buy small flying bases from games workshop for $4.50 each….
They are pretty good…kind of big on the bottom though…check them out! -
Victory conditions…...
Bring back the old economic victory condition for the axis?
Thoughts?

RE: Taranto Raid- standard???
The entire UK fleet gets destroyed G1….
They are under threat of invasion for the first 3-4 turns of the game…
The UK objectives are unachievable…at least for a really long time…
There income is split up…
No Taranto raid = quick loss of Africa and more UK IPC’s gone…Taranto is plenty fair…

RE: TripleA needs your help
If money is the driving force regarding development of the new rules set, then I would suggest a set annual usage fee by triplea - $5 or $10 bucks a year or something like that to help maintain the site and to pay for development of new games. I think that just about everyone who is familiar with triplea would be willing to pay that. Some people simply will not donate…they are in it for the free ride…gotta push 'em to open there wallet a little…

RE: Arbitrate our Game
Slight allied advantage….
Germany is too boxed in…Kudos to the axis though for actually pulling off a second Sealion…all though i am guessing that is why you do not have an airforce anymore…can always buy more with your ill gained IPC’s :evil:

RE: German sub buy…..
My intent is to choke off the british isle until at least turn 3, probably turn 4…maybe 5 depending on US build/move and how creative the UK player is…
…then disperse the subs in different directions to force the hunt with numerous destroyers that have to be bought and which won’t be bombarding me later! or to use them in a concentrated attack/strafe including the luftwaffe to thin the UK and or british fleet…thats where the extra bombers come in (which also are handy for ground attacks)

RE: German sub buy…..
2 replies…and already branched out into a secondary topic with no comment regarding the original post/thought… :|

German sub buy…..
Anyone try a heavy mix of german subs to carry out convoy disruptions on UK? Specifically - 4 subs on station minimum to choke the british isle itself….
Call me crazy…I bought 5 subs and 3 hvy bombers on G2 to maximize offshore threat against allies. Really projected force well and had my opponent sweating pretty hard…Until G3 - 2 fig/2 tac/4 bmb against the mixed UK/french in med…They ALL died and I only killed the AC and Dest.
Friggin’ dice…
Anyways - I feel the strategy was still pretty sound - maybe 1 less sub and bomber to get a few more guys on the ground…but…I don’t know…
Everyones thoughts would be most appreciated…

RE: How to balance Global 1940?
If you went all Europe against me Stafano you would lose ANZAC in a hurry, and be facing troop landings in Alaska, Canada, and WUS……I am not saying I could take WUS unless you are really not paying attention…but I would make you turn right back around and stall you for SEVERAL turns trying to cover the backdoor you left wide open…

RE: Most viable turn to declare war as the Axis
J3 has been working well….

RE: How to balance Global 1940?
I have floated this idea several times on a few different threads. The only draw back is that US could just build ground/air units in WUS/EUS and walk/fly them over to whatever theatre they are pushing into…still…it does create a slight stall, even if the US player does that. It does not change the game through addition/subtraction of either pcs or IPC’s, and is also a little more realistic. I am all for it personnally. Played 2 games with it that way so far…one win each so far…I will let you know in about 20 more games… :-D

RE: The worse German defeat ever
You took out russia, had egypt….and lost?
Sounds like you sat around a little too long your first few rounds after taking out moscow.
-
RE: Any experiences with a global J3 attack?
I have been attacking J3 unless the US is postured to attack somewhere vital…if that is the case I go on J4…
Pretty tough to get going fast enough waiting until J4 though…

RE: Is A&A 1940 global really worth it????????
I’ve played four games, and the price for playing is so far about six dollars an hour, plus my buddies played for free.
$6.00 bucks an hour?!?! At the rate my buddies drink - it is costing me $6.00 every ten minutes!

RE: Axis Win
You bought a BB on G4? You had Moscow on G4? Did the russian player drink his IPC’s away?

RE: Challenge
Have played 3 incomplete games that got played basically to develop general strats and to get familiar with the game.
4 complete games - all to the allies, 2 pretty easy, 2 close ones.
ZERO mistakes by the axis can be made just to keep it close.
Be aggressive as hell with the Axis….and go J3…J1 and 2 attacks where the 2 that the allies won pretty easy…(J2 not as bad…but still bad)
I really think the US player MUST split there income…N.O. can go either way per US players discretion, but theatre money must be spent in corresponding theatre. We will be playing our next few games this way…will report back in a week or two…
