This will be my first game of Global, I have played Europe before, but I need help. What should I do in the Pacific? I don’t want to spend to much attention to something, and the Soviet Union is in between Japan and Germany, how do I get out of that?

-Thanks

Side note:
When playing Pacific, player 1 is Japan, player 2 US, and player 3 is UK and ANZAC undoubtedly.
But who should get China? Player 2 or player 3?

Always take France. Sometimes take Normandy. Never take Southern France.

The allies can (and usually will) still win the game if being 30-40 IPCs behind, IF they can correct this pretty soon. Let’s say in ~5 turns max., they must at least get a total equalization of both economies.

Having said that, if there is no visible possibility to (at least) equalize, the allies will have lost the game even if their shortfall is only small. I have no exact figures here but I bet the allies will have lost the game even if their shortfall is 5 IPCs per turn only, if they have no possibility to repair this.

Sometimes every IPC (per turn) counts…

@Baron:

@Young:

I like your idea of reducing the UK NOs to just Malta for UKE, and just Malaya for UKP, however… just like Japan needs to side step their own NOs to take away UKP’s NO (Malaya), Italy should do the same around Malta, or get help from Germany.

Sorry, I miswrote my intent. I really like your two NOs as they were.
I was just emphasized the main interesting target from historical POV.

Cheers.

Thanks a lot for the help. At first I did not find the save games, but found them in the end, the small attachments at the bottom of certain posts. Thanks again, greatly appreciated. Think it will be interesting to review games from good players, a lot to study and learn I guess.

Tips about good players to study?

@cyanight:

I found you… Im SteelerLou, lol… I had made an account for a Steeler give-away sometime ago, lol. Actually plan to use a couple of your house rules this weekend. The NO’s, Strategic Bombing from AB, Neutral Blocs and Groupings of minor countries with majors.

Awesome, I see you, and if you’re not on twitter often I can always come here and inform you of scheduled game days so you can get the in game updates. Thanks for trying my house rules, the best one of all is the Strategic Bombers needing to leave from an Air Base in order to get the +2 damage bonus… I can see a rule like that fitting in nicely with the official rules.

I was in the same exact dilemma, I finally got AAP40 right before the news that there would be reprints and just got AAE40 2nd the other day. They pry won’t like me advertising this but I called WofC and they are sending me the AAAs from Pac 2nd edition at no charge when I explained my situation.

correction in 112 reason, you will need to judge whether you can afford to lose air or a ship if he is lucky enough to get 2 hits. Just remember what you bought and how much you can afford to replace air. I would lose a ship over air cause a ship does not help you sealion or barb as much as your air does.
