^^a good thread with in depth explanation of LL if you dont know what it is or how to use it
LL can really speed. up attack decisions because you pretty much know exactly what youl need to win battles and its not hard to figure out what youl have left after the battle
If Germany and Japan can take their turns simultaneously each round, it will make a big difference (only works in group games).
ask eachother in the beginning of each round if germany will attack russia, if not, do both of them simultaneously, and already start working on japan. The same with the US if they’re still neutral, do them while it’s Japan’s turn, same for China. Italy and Anzac can go together also. Already plan what you’re buying for your next round and change if ur opponent has done something you totally didn’t expect.
I must have been really tired while I posted this this should be in global 1940
Play with a chess timer… :evil:
We play as young grasshopper
That’s a good idea, but part of the fun is watching the opponent, and you’ll miss stuff if you guys play simultaneously…
have people go on same turn…. Like this:
Germany, Italy
Russia
Japan
Uk, ANZAC
USA
China, France

Do not do this lol
It will break the balance of the game.
1 -You can combine Germany with Japan if both are not a war with Russia
2 -You can do China and USA turns simultaneously for most the game
3 -Use lowlouck dice
4 -use a timer
other than those 4 things theres not much you can do without changing the game
I would never combine Italy with Germany or Uk with Anzac
I agree. Putting Euro Axis together takes away can opening but it also makes Euro Axis very strong…
Germany/Italy combined would be unbeatable, totally absurd to run these 2 together
Combining UK and ANZAC would not even come close to making up for it (UK/ANZAC income still split up where Italy can spend its money right alongside Germany in the same theater)
It’s not hard: When USSR and/or US aren’t at war and there’s no DOW’s coming (round 1, 2 and maybe 3) run all those together if possible. Or do Germany and Russia together, and Japan and US together. You can also tack on France with that if they aren’t fighting together with anyone.

How about:
Germany
Russia
Japan
USA, China
UK (europe and Pacific)
Anzac, France
Italy
i dont think that would do much to speed it up :P
France and china should not take more than a couple minutes max at any rate
Yeah.
Here’s what I think (bare minimum for a 2-player game with some not at war and no DOW’s coming):
Germany and Russia
Japan and US
China
UK
Italy and ANZAC (once those 2 inf. are gone)
The best turns to combine are Japan and Russia, in most games they are not at war and both turns can take some time
I bought a timer for our next game but am not sure how to use it. My initial guess would be set it for 10 minutes and when it goes off the person must finish whatever he is doing currently and then collect income.
3 minutes for purchase/repair phase
5 minutes for each following phase
On GTO for both 1942 and revised its 90sec for purchase/repair and 3min for the rest -this is standard
Id say G40 requires more per phase however

LOL
" Ok after this i am going to do a important move that will change the tide of the war, and make it impossible for the axis to win!" BEEEEPPPPP “ahhhh man”
:-D Well - how many men did Stalin lose when he just sat at his desk the first few days of the German onslaught in shock and did nothing?
This would be a great rule for me cuz I work fast! Breaking everything up into three minutes sounds overly complicated - why not just one total block of time - “ding” - your done?
