“1. Time, it takes up to 6 hours to play the game, realistically, and that can be hard to crank out in an day.â€
I have NO problem with the amount of time it takes. I may only get to play the game once a year, but it’s the best weekend of that year, without fail, every year.
“2. Players, it it great to play G40 with more players (and it’s pretty sweet to have them) but trying to convince 5 guys to play one game for a whole afternoon isn’t easy.â€
Find better friends. Seriously. I have to drive 5 hours to get my annual “War & Bourbon†weekend. Totally worth it.
“3. Money, in G40 there is so much money poured into each economy that one power rarely can’t replace their losses. This leads to games that can go up to 20 turns! Don’t get me wrong I like the things you can do in G40 but it seems to get ridiculous. “
You’re doing something wrong if it’s taking 20 rounds. And units cost so much, it’s pretty easy to lose a lot more than your income on any given turn.
