I can only guess that the reverse can opener means that US can clear SZ´s which can then be reinforced with british sea units because no european axis have their turn between them.
The most common use of that tactics as far as I know is the liberation of Denmark by US followed by a british surprise attack on Berlin.

Hello gents,

me and a good friend of mine were playing the lovely oztea41 version and had
a blast so far.
No I feel like I am screwed as the japanese player. I see no chance to find a safe place for
my fleet and invasion looks like it is inevitable.
So far I have played prettty conservative with the Japanese player but still see no chance against the combined
fleet and airforce of the allies in the pacific theatre.
Any idea what I made wrong here?
Also any idea were to find good position for the Japanese fleet?

Cheers and have a nice weekend fellow generals.2020-11-24-Japan R7.tsvg

@hbg-gw-enthusiast Yes your online really is a tutorial for me. I am currently at Round 5 of your game and I keep watching it :-)
Of course you are right about the G2 attack on France. The solo game I am doing is more of a rule learning game to me with no real strategic value so far. Reason being is that I am waiting for couple more parts from HBG to
finally have all units available.

I have changed the ANZAC nation. Only thing I could not change was the order of play.

for the given szenario I would also prefer to send the fighters to Taranto, simply because the damage in the long run is much bigger if you destroy the italien navy rather then the Bismarck.

Have been playing the 39 setup for a while now on TripleA but I would love to see the map printed out same size as global 40. Is there a map file out there for oztea´s 39 setup which I can print? Or is it possible to extract the mapfile from TripleA itself?

@hbg-gw-enthusiast Doing the same thing with my game. Recently bought the light blue parts for Vichy French.

Tried it already multiple times. It is really great and adds a new perspective for Asia.

Did this in the past occasionally but since Covid hit us and we moved to a bigger flat I played Solo games almost every week if nobody is available on TripleA. Benefit for me is to setup the game G40 quite often (a bit of a guilty pleassure to me) and explore new possibillities by adapting starting moves from TripeA games.
At the moment I play only 3G40 (YoungGrasshoppers Tournament Edition) because of the new order of turns and the strategy change that comes with the rule chnages.
To keep the “opponent” behaviour unpredictable I tend to use a dice to determine scramble decision (a 1 will cause scrambling actions for the defender). Saw this online in a YG video and I thought it´s worth to use that.
Still looking forward to meet friends for the post-Covid Face-toface games.

@victoryfirst just check the latest setup by downloading triplea with the oztea41. That’s what I did for my board.

Hey guys, I am from Stuttgart and also play Global 40 or Global War 36. We already had 3 weekends the last 2 years where we played GW36 for 3 days.
Let me know if one of you is interested. If you need more information about it, please checkout my channel plus playlist

Hello guys, coming back to 42 2nd edition after playing Global War 36 for a nice little BBQ, Beer and Axis and Allies event tomorrow with some good old friends. I might play UK this game and I wanted to know if the attack on sz37 with all available is still the preferred action for turn 1 as this might be the only chance for the UK to take out japaneses capital ships Another possibillity would be to just strafe the japanese fleet in SZ37 and retreat all units to the SZ 35 or 31. Retreating to 35 is more risky as more japanese air and naval units have enough range to attack. Retreating to SZ 31 should be pretty safe (don´t have the board in front of me to crosscheck).
Any thoughts on this? My first buys with UK would be 2 Bombers to India 1st turn (good for counter attacking the japanese fleet if they decides to attack the rest of the UK fleet) Also the bomber which landed in Kazahk first turn can be used for that counter attack. Turn 2 I would buy 3 Fighters for India to hold it. Of course Germany would not threaten London in this szenario.

Hey Kilroy, finally I am back on track.triplea_36714_2uk.tsvg

@kilroynothere Hey Kilroy, yes the last 2 weeks were quite busy. We had to do lot´s of stuff with school stuff for our kids and my wife is sick now the second week in a row. It´s just a simple flu but since she got Covid last year every small infection like this leaves her sick for at least two weeks now. But I think I will be ready to continue our game this weekend as my parents will visit us and I have some spare time then. The following weekend will be totally awesome. We have planned a Global War 36 game with some other fellars from Europe and me from Friday till Sunday. As this is the first time for me playing this game face to face I am thrilled.

@kilroynothere Hey Kilroy,

things are ok in the old european part of the world. Always intense discussion between politicians from all parties how and if to support Ukraine. Apart from that it is a extremly mild winter and way too warm. But our kids are not sick now which does not happen too often. I have to travel to a customer tomorrow who is located in Cologne. That will provide me some spare time to proceed playing TripleA in the hotel.

@kilroynothere yes there is a possibillty that I loose London. Let´s see how that works out.

@robson Hey Kilroy, here is the next german turn.Looking forward to it.

@kilroynothere Yes I made a mistake during non combat movement. So we can move on from here.

@kilroynothere Well the dice gods decided to change the luck between the battles :-) Could be an intereting game. triplea_36714_1IT1.tsvg

@kilroynothere now that break was absolutely related to christmas and family. Hope you had a wonderful time with your loved ones. Back to business, need your scramble orders for the axis. :blush: triplea_36714_1UK1.tsvg
