I view the essays as para-historical entertainment from someone who contemplates the board waiting to find an opponent.
Welcome to the forum and try the game online. It’s much more interesting than writing and speculating about the game. :wink:
Length of Global 1940 games

In our experience some games can go for days. We dont play the Victory City conditions we just get to a point in the war when its clear that one side will win. We usually get to a point in the day where we finish that turn and start with Germany and end with France writing down what each country has and where. We can get a good 6-8 hours of playing in a day and with some games going for days thats alot of hours. Curious to hear how you guys go about games

Face to face, the fastest game was 3 hours, germany uber failed sealion. but the game usually goes from 8 to 12 hours before a winner can be determined. I have heard of same games lasting a full day or more.

I guarantee we had games go a day or more. T-1 can be a couple hours on its own. I have been playing since the 80s when the first game came out. I can remember playing over the whole weekend

It depends on if the players know the rules and are experienced. Many times we would play with 4 or more people and would simultaneously play; such as:
Germany would go and Japan would go at the same time if they didn’t indend on attacking Russia.
Then Russia, UK and USA/China would go at the same time
Then Italy/ANZAC/France at the same time.That way it is like having a 3 Nation turn vice 6-8. Of course if Japan attacks Russia, then you have to throw in an extra step so Japan can respond to Russia’s movements (if it matters).
In this way we can get a turn done in under an hour (1.5 hour for first turn).

10 to 14 hours.
