Hi Emiel & Ron,

This weekend (Friday 26th November - Sunday 28th November), 2 players from The Netherlands are coming to Denmark, to play Axis & Allies Global 1940 with us.

We’re playing with the complete Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

I suggest you contact them on this forum (Cornelis is the name on this forum).

Hi,

We have a group of A&A enthousiasts (around 6 people) here in the centre of the Netherlands. It would be fun to meet others and play some sessions.

Most times we play 1940 Global.

@snurkert hi…are you englisch of ben je nederlander, ik woon in brunssum en ik speel vaker met een vriend axis & allies

[snurkert]

@ron I am native Dutch. Since this is an international forum I think it is polite to use English.

[ron]

[snurkert]

@ron We are close to Amersfoort

Hi snurkert,

We have 2 members in the Netherlands - Cornelis Post & beserker - they are both on this forum.

They are dedicated Global 1940 players.

You should contact them - they have been here in Denmark twice to play with us:+1:

Hi ron,

We would like to meet with you guys and play.

We are coming to the Netherlands this October - to play with our friends in the Netherlands (Cornelist Post & beserker).

You can contact Cornelis Post on this forum - and maybe we can find out something:+1:

@the-captain hi…looking forward to october…we gonna make it happen👍

[snurkert]

In pre-covid times, when we played A&A 1940 Global, a single game took months 😉
We gathered once every 2 weeks and played the whole afternoon. In an afternoon we usually complete one or two turns.
How is that with you guys? Does this game also takes so much time?

@snurkert hi…als we 1914 doen zijn we ook 8 uur verder…1940 en europe en die oudere versies een uur of 5 …maar we zijn wel een dag bezig

@snurkert

We play one round in 60-75 minutes. Mostly all players have prepared their own strategy - and know what to purchase and do for the first 2-4 rounds.

Early in the game its around 75 minutes per round - later, when most units & formations have been build up and are in position for massive attacks, it takes around 45-60 minuts per round.

You can see some of our games (Game Reports) with pictures and descriptions, at the Global 1940 Game Report Thread - on this forum at the House Rules Section.

@ron

Hi ron,

I’m not able to read & understand the Netherland language - please, write in English language.

@ron

You can also find our Global 1940 Strategy Guide - in the House Rules Section.

@the-captain

The turn times you mention resemble ours. That’s cool.
So, under normal conditions, it’s not really feasable to finish a game in a day. Although the last game we’ve played ended in turn 4 by US capturing Japan, but this was an exceptional case.

@snurkert

We always play Two-Player Games - 1 player controls all Axis Nations and the other player controls all Allied Nations.

This is the most easy way to coordinate a Game Date - and by far the fastest way to play, since you don’t have to discuss with any allied players:relaxed:

All meals are prepared in advance for breakfast, lunch & diner - and we consume all meals while playing.

So, we start at 08.30 - and a game mostly lasts for 10-11 rounds, which means that we finish at around 22.00 or 23.00.

By this time, if the game is not completely over, a Victory is within sight anyway.

When we plan for our Multiplayer Axis & Allies Weekends - we start playing Friday at 19.30 - and usually end Sunday at 16.00.

During such a weekend, we have planned more time per game - and usually plan for two games for each player.

The Two-Player concept is also used in those weekends.

@the-captain

We tried that also but it is a bit unsatisfying that you cannot complete the game until the end.
Usually we setup the game in the attic where it can stay untouched until we continue some other day (I have a very spacious attic)
