BBR 6.7

@questioneer Yes, I’ve played BBR exclusively since I found it almost three years ago…I don’t check this forum often, so I know this is somewhat belated…I can give you a full rundown on bbr and it’s active online community if you like.

Hi @GAME-GURU

That would be cool as I’m not super familiar with it.

This is a cool house rule mod too

IMO, the beauty of classic and the nostalgia which got many of us into this hobby was that a game could be completed in a day…BBR is an 8 rd varient, timed for 6 hours per side in tournament play…among many other tweaks that enhance gameplay, the genius of bbr lies in a railing system that greatly speeds up land movement, blockades so one dd cannot block entire fleets, and a victory point system that rewards nontraditional play.

It stays close to source material so the leap from g40 to bbrr is not very large…one rd and you’ll have 90% of the ruleset.

I’ve taken looks at other varients… needless complexity for the sake of historical accuracy or multi-day games…not interested, especially with a group of guys with busy lives.

Hi @GAME-GURU

We started playing Axis & Allies (Classic) in 1993.

We could play a game in 3-5 hours - even after we started using the Expansion rules from Gamers Paradise (Axis & Allies Expansion 1 + 2 + 3).

Those were great days - and we had busy lives as well.

Over time we made a few choises concerning time and effort in playing Axis & Allies - since all of us were (and still are) busy with work, family etc.

The primary choise was that we did not want a great game of Axis & Allies to end quickly.
When we choose to play Axis & Allies now and then, we would rather have more Fun & Challenge than a quick game.

It would be the same as if we told our children: “hurry to finish what ever you are playing - so you can start playing something else”…
That wouldn’t make much sense…

So, I can say now that we are a group of some of the most dedicated Axis & Allies players this World has ever seen.
We mostly play Global 1940 combined with the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
A game lasts from 6 hours up to 12 hours - depending on Strategy, Skills and Determination.

The Global 1943 Expansion is a slightly quicker game with a maximum of 5-8 hours.

Anyway - when the Global 1940 game is played in combination with the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion the Fun & Challenge is on an unprecedented level.

We wish you tons of Fun & Challenge - no matter which level of Axis & Allies you play.
