Thank you again for all the helpful advice. You were right on my misstep with Germany building 10 units on Paris instead of 3. You also have good ideas about buying artillery, which I was thinking because you can combine them with infantry to get attack or defense at 2. And the United States targeting Norway/Denmark/Western Germany combined with bombers is helpful. Thanks again for all the great advice from such nice players; you guys are awesome.

Fav country in g40 now that its out
-
i havent played g40 yet lol :-P
-
I like Italy. If your fleet can survive past round one, you can dominate africa and the Middle East! The Mediterranean becomes Mare Nostrum!
-
I voted for Britain. This is the only power that has action worldwide from start to finish in this game.
-
I like Britian, but would like it more if the RN was able to survive G1.
-
Haven’t played yet, but I say Germany or Italy. I like Italy because they can be a little piece #$% (there I didn’t type it!) then rise up take Africa, and fend off the #!%#!* U S A invasion!!!
Also Germany’s always been my favorite.

Dylan, where did you get your avatar?

Also France so it’s never your fault when you lose.

US. The increased IPC is always fun to play with.
-
I said Italy because they can go from 10 IPCs to 40+ if the dice Gods are favourable in the first round and, of course, if they are controlled by an competent commander.
I’m surprised so few said Japan. I’d say they’re my second favourite.
-
japan because of the naval combat and all that air power
uk is proboly my second favorite

That is a pretty cool avatar Dylan.

I haven’t played G 40 yet but my Fav country will probbably be the U.S.S.R as always because I like their tanks. My order will probably be:
U.S.S.R
Germany
Italy
Japan
U.S
U.K
ANZAC
China
France -
My favorite?
France.
-
-
I just love the “newness” of it.
I also like fighting defensive battles. China and France are good for that.
-
I love the United Kingdom, because of their extensive hand in every theater of the war.
I’ve never played as any of the Axis, but I’d like to play as any three of them.
-
FOUR people voted France? Weird. I mean, France would be my favourite if they weren’t doomed to be useless by their first turn. I mean, the colonial infantry and the sparse ships could win a battle or two, but nothing beyond that.

I’d want to controll France as the allies, but I wouldn’t want them to be my only power. They can have some fun with their destroyer, but other than that their infantry are next to useless.
I was really hoping for a Free France rule where they could collect income and mobilize troops (maybe just infantry and art) in Africa. I’m not sure if adding this will imbalance the game too much, though. I’d still like to try it out, at least to not doom the French to complete uselessness.
