Thank you! Seems like G2 is better than G3.
Power Groupings - Global Game

The nine player game would quickly become an 8 player game with the inevitable elimination of France.
Well, if you had a good group (like the dream a and a group) you would take a full day and make it like an event, with drinks, meals, all sorts of stuff. Role for powers, and then kind of make it so that an eliminated power b/c an advisor/co-controller with someone (a good example being France and Britain).
Or the eliminated french player could make lunch for everyone :-D
In that case, I vote that my grandma plays as France :lol:
-
If I remember reading somewhere (I can’t remember) correctly, the global game will consist of up to seven players. My guess would be that UK/Anzac will be seperate but controlled by the same player. And France/Russia would also be controlled by the same player as well. Again all of this is according to somewhere I read that Harris was only going to make the global game 2-7 players, I could be wrong though.
Larry probably intends for some players to play 2 countries, however they will have seperate economies, so with 9 countries, there could be 9 players.
-
Yeah that is true but I don’t think anyone would actually want to just play as France, or even ANZAC for that matter……

It will be best playing with 4-6 players, however 7-9 players can be possible for some newbies to team up with the expert players.
US,UK,USSR, GER, JAP- expert players
ITA, ANZAC, FRA, CHINA- newbie players. A ten year-old could play China.
7 maybe the best in this case though with 5 exper players and 2 newbie (one plays ITA and the other plays ANZAC, FRA, CHINA)- this keeps the newbie from being bored I think.
You can play with 9 but you will have a couple people drop out possibly because of the long turns. I think 7 is the BEST you may have for people to commit to a full game all the way through.

If you have that many people wanting play with half of them being newbies, I say reverse what you’re suggesting and give the “major” powers to the newbies and let the experts play the “minor” powers. Then when some of the “experts” get knocked out, they can help out the newbies as teammates/advisers/co-captains, at least for one game.
And hey, with the UK Pacific having a separate economy, why not have 10 players? :-P
-
Very true, The most I’ll play with is 6. 4 will still be the usual though. :-)

I usually play just 2 player games, sometimes three. I just have trouble getting my friends into playing it.

You have to let them win every once in a while.

I am proud to say that I have quite a few friends who are willing to play, so much that one has to be left out for now. He gets to play settlers of catan on the other months though. I could muster seven up probably twice or thrice a year, but no more

Well it’s not that, we can’t even play a full turn most of the time because they get bored and want to play PS3 or something.

We need to get some new friends or maybe we can all move to the same city. Hell, let’s start our own city called Axisandallies, USA

Is that near Lake Woebegone?

@Yoper:
This is my guess:
Two player game: One player controls all Axis powers (Germany/Japan/Italy) and the other controls all the Allies (the remaining powers).
Three player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers - all the Axis powers, United Kingdom/ANZAC/ France, and the United States/Soviet Union/ /China.
Four player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers - all the Axis powers, United Kingdom /ANZAC, Soviet Union/France, and the United States/China.
Five player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers- Germany/Italy, Japan, United Kingdom/ANZAC, Soviet Union/France, and the United States/China.
Six player game: Each player controls one of the following powers or group of powers- Germany, United Kingdom /ANZAC, Italy, Soviet Union/France, Japan, and the United States/China.
Is this what you want or what you think will be in the rulebook?
-
I really think the power groupings will be optional.

No, I don’t think so. For 4 players, you want a 2vs2, so it’s:
- Japan
- Germany+Italy
- UK+Canada+France+USSR (assuming FTF, is better having the one dude at each side of the board)
- India+ANZAC+China+USA (same reason. You can split the UK income as you wish, OOB or not, you can guess what I’ll do :-P)
For online, allied split should be, for saving time reasons:
- UK+USSR
- USA+China+France
