Will Anyone Play Europe 1940 Separately?

Well from reading Larry’s posts on his latest game with the global setup it seems that Japan is between a rock and a hard place because of those Russian infantry. But to get back on topic heck yes I will play Europe separately mainly for the same reasons you have, lack of time and space.

I will definatly not play them together unless i reconfigure the set ups.

Also, a concern is naval movement because these maps have so many sea zones, it can take like 14 turns to move from one end to another. Thats not right.

@Axisgirl:

You mean move from America to America? just use the suez canal

Even better… use the panama canal  :wink:

@Axisgirl:

Ahh you know what techn Im reeaally excited about?

“Improved Mechanized infantry” Imagine a 2-2-2 Unit for just 4 IPCs? I would but them instead of tanks in Europe!

I would guess that "“improved Mech Inf” means your mech can carry one additional infantry piece each, not that it would affect attack value

Are you crazy, I will barely play Europe 40 it’s self, like look at your maps, they are huge, but you don’t want to play this the way it comes, and you could probably house rule to make ships move faster.

I imagine I will play E40 jut as often as P40 just as ofen as G41 and just as often as G42.

Each of the games has its own interesting nuances and strategies and each one is exiting and stimulating in its own right. When I have a big group, and/or lots of time, its AA41 (Anneversary) with a smaller group its AA42. And If I have just one very experienced opponenet we can play AAP40 (or any of the others.) I imagine G40 will be reserved for a large group of very experienced players when we have a whole day or weekend to play.

Can’t wait!

Parties are good.

@cminke:

for me at all depends on time, mood, date, and people

Well including me I hang out with 14 people usually so, yeah.

I will play seperatly to get the feel. Maybe 1-3 times then Pacific 1 more time then combined from then on.

So after you’ll never play them by it’s self from then on. That’s kind of harsh.

I dident mean it THAT way. Sure ill pull them out once in a while but I play with 9 ppl we need two games to play. So global with 9 estimated.(US,UK,USSR,Germany,Japan,Italy,China,ANZAC,and France) Well take turns playing major countries. Just a good way that we can play one game.

Well the turn order (in global) is…
1. Germany
2. USSR
3. Japan
4. UK
5. ANZAC
6. Italy
7. USA
8. China
9. France

Also France and China are supposed to be played by another allied player, but don’t need to.

I know but like I said we have 9 people and we agreed when we get global (I payed for all so their mine  :-D) we will take turns. We draw out of hat for frist time then switch off.

Man I wish I could find that many people to play the game in person. You know we should have a game when this comes out! We could have games where every power was controlled by a player, man that would be awesome! I’m going to make a thread right now!

You could, sense France will be knocked out of the game one round one or two have that person be India.

Yeah I might actually try a few 10 player games.

Im lucky. When I moved where I am I was surrounded with my kind. Axis and Allies fans. We play every 1st and 3rd saturday. I therefore have to buy every new game. (Thank goodness i get donations from my fellow players).

That is cool. For me it is like pulling teeth trying to find people.

Perhaps we should try playing a few games of Pac 40 with active Russian units on the board with maybe a new inf coming on the board every turn, and perhaps a few inf from the “middle East” could arrive on Turn 3.  If that has no effect on the game then we know what were walking into.

You could even have 11 players and make a western us player and an eastern us player.
