Will Anyone Play Europe 1940 Separately?

Great Quote TitusAndronicus, and the fact that the game comes out on a Tuesday makes it all so-real. I might have to take a vacation day, or hell just take the week off.

@TitusAndronicus:

Here’s what will happen to every A&A playgroup known to man:

Beforehand while talking about it everybody agrees it will be best to play E40 stand alone to get the feel of it.  But the very second E40 comes in the door somebody will suggest setting it up with P40 “just to see how huge and awesome it is.”  After admiring the scope and insanity of the global map numerous high-5’s, whiskey shots and general alpha male behavior will ensue.  Then, caught up in the moment, one person will suggest playing it for kicks just to see what its like.  Everybody else had already been thinking this the moment they laid eyes upon the finished product, so the request will be welcomed with open arms.

18 hours, 12 vodka-cranberries each, a carton of cigarettes, no fewer than 20 private strategy between powers and nearly infinite referrals to the rulebook later a victor will emerge.  Even after this marathon nobody will get any sleep; “what-ifs” pouring through every players mind:  “How can I better synergize London and Calcutta?”, “How the hell am I gonna deal with all that Russian infantry now?”, “Since when did Italy become so beast-mode in Africa?”, “I should have protected the Middle East better!”, “I better build more mechanized infantry or I’ll never get to Moscow”, etc. etc.  The next day the weary-eyed warriors will be too hungover/tired to go to work or class.  They will talk and gloat and whine about last nights game to the point where a new one gets started.  And so on to infinity…

This is about global folks, and we all are going to play it first.

That was full of win.

I am 20 and my group is all younger than me, but no younger than 15. So there is never a dull moment. Good for you though. In our case, we’d never be able to find 9 players.

Whats a group?

A group being a non-technical term for your typical sphere of players. Mine, for example, is 5. My play-group usually consist of 5 people total, including myself.

No. Not a bio-sphere. It is rather like a levitating, light emitting sphere that showcases our awesomeness at playing the game.

Mines a very BIG sphere.

Mine is the sphere from the movie Sphere, or Michael Crichton’s book, whichever you prefer.

unfortunately my group only includes myself at the moment.

No one should play alone. If i could id donate 4 people in m group to you cuz my group is 9. then id have 5 and youd have 5.
