Oh…
I’ve been playing wrong this entire time???
:disappointed:
Thanks for clarifying though. I’ll take that into my next physical game.
Global 1940 & 1943 Expansions Game Reports
-
Concerning the planning of Global 1943 Strategy - and how to win the Global 1943 game, players should take the following into account:
- Study the Global 1943 SetUp carefully by setting up your game with all game pieces
- “Play” the Global 1943 game with your self for at least 2 rounds - and repeat this “Playing The Game” sequence a couple of times until you feel comfortable with troop movements etc.
This will give you a picture of how you must re-organize your troop positions - Plan a Global 1943 Strategy according to your experience with those play tests that you perform with yourself.
- Play test your Global 1943 Strategy with another Axis & Allies player - and adjust your strategy based on the game results.
Remember:
Whether you win or lose the game does not depend on how well you know the rules.
It is simply a matter of how well you can “read” the game as the game progresses - and react accordingly to the situation as the game progresses.Our experience shows that even a new player can defeat an experienced player - simply by reacting correctly to the situation during the game.
You must be able to know when to purchase Paratrooper units - and when to mass produce Infantry, Panzer, Air units etc.
The best advice we can give is to carefully study the multiple Game Reports on this thread - and use those Game Reports as inspiration for your strategy.
