Re: Strategies?
After 3 games in a row, we didnt use nukes, I think the game seems to favor the “allies” or the west kinda heavily. With America’s air and sea lift there’s not much chance russia can keep up. Even when china takes India early their tanks can’t make it in time to save russia. I may try a round without air and sea lift so troops move by transport only to nerf america a bit. Any thoughts/ anyone else played this?
The west does end up w large piles of fighters so perhaps nukes favor the eastern coalition.

RE: Global war 2025 balance/strategy
Just an update: upon further examination we’ve discovered that China and the caliphate can use rail to move units to russian front and also that infantry move two spaces in non combat phase. This will dramatically alter my initial assessment of the balance of the game.

RE: Bonus Movement is Unrealistic Nonsense
@shadowhawk without bonus movement it would take america two turns to get from eastern US to Africa (on some not all maps). Not saying I disagree with your idea but that maps were designed with bonus movement in mind.

Did they make a different version of the original game?
I seem to recall my uncle owning the original game but the map was bigger than the ones i see now and instead of a tri-fold it was six that folded into a square. Am i getting Mandela effect on this? I remember specifically getting yelled at for folding it incorrectly which wouldn’t happen with a normal tri-fold.

RE: Bonus Movement is Unrealistic Nonsense
@SuperbattleshipYamato I agree. My point ,i guess is that Eliminating the naval bases ruins the maps that have them, which I think everyone agrees. The older games worked without them but the sea zones were different.

RE: Bonus Movement is Unrealistic Nonsense
@SuperbattleshipYamato yeah but a whole turn to move ships only 2/3 across the Atlantic would make america less enjoyable. Some maps only had 2 spaces between east US and africa.
