I agree with the production value for such a pricey game. We used the OOB Global scoreboard. We didn’t run out of chips yet but Infantry has been a problem. There’s a lot to like about this game but quite a few nuisances as well. We’re currently paused at round 10 I think and not sure when we can play again. My new work schedule is not very accommodating. Glad you like the game, we found that it could go either way but it’s hard to tell with one incomplete game under our belts.

It’s too bad your new schedule is not accomodatring. I was looking forward to being able to join you guys for a game day. Sounds liek you guys have a good thing going with the space and the company there.

It’s a pretty ghetto set up in a damp garage but we love it. We’ll be able to arrange something hopefully in the summer. Aside from the new job I’ve got some other shit going on that’s not making things easier to play but once things settle down here I’ll let you know.

The blog also has some exciting news with links for game developers and players alike. The Boston Festival of Indie Games is coming up and they’ve asked me to notify you all about it. Check out the links at the blog and thanks for listening.

A sober episode? Does that equate to more turns? LOL. Looking forward to it. You guys are playing Anniversary? I’ve never played that one.
-
We tend to slow down when we’re sober. Anniversary is the best game. Drew the map myself.

What do you think about Global vs Anniversary?
-
Anniversary, hands down.
-
Really? Interesting. Just more playable and not as complicated as Global?
-
Global has a great deal of structure in the first few rounds, boring for USA and Russia for the first couple hours. It’s a great game but Anniversary is much better. Quite a few more options.
-
I havent had a chance to play Anniversary, but I do enjoy the epic scale of Global
-
Well I guess we know what we’re playing when you come down to the Falls don’t we. Custom drawn map. You’ll love it.

Be sure to post pictures…

Looking forward to it fer sure. I’ll read the rulebook ahead of time.

Tried playing a game of Anniversary a couple months ago. Seemed way too simple after playing the amazing game that Global 1940 is.
That being said, hopefully the 1942 setup of Global will get better and allow for a faster game start.

Pics have been few and far between on the Blog lately, sorry. I’m finding it hard to even edit the podcast these last few weeks but I’ll try harder. If you want all the pics that I’ve taken you should follow us on Twitter @dicetruction. Shameless plug I know but I’ll throw in another Twitter address that you’ll love (not by me but everyone on this site should open a Twitter account just for this account. It’s called WW2 Tweets from 1941 @RealTimeWWII it follows along through the war day to day with articles and photos from during the war. Awesome account.

Just give it a once over, it’s essentially the same as 1942 with a couple extra rules for developments and such

Yes, Global is scripted, but I love all the units and sweep of the game.
You guys at Dicetruction kill me. When I used to live in Idaho, I had a buddy who I used to stay up all night with playing A&A variants we created. We often polished off a 24 pack of Natty Light and then tap into some Carlo Rossi. (Hard to believe now how we could drink that shitt) Needless to say, around 1am the game would go weird places. The variant we had was based on the World at War by Xeno, an A&A knock off. I was going to adapt the variant to the Global map. If I ever get it done I’ll post it on the site.
