RE: D/FW 1940 Global or 1942 Revised
I am in West Fort Worth (pretty much as far away as you can get from McKinney). I would be willing to travel to the East side to play some time this fall or I am willing to host as well. I prefer to play with 3 and I have a friend in Arlington that would be up for it.

RE: How to KJF
Do you all suggest KJF in Global? I have never done that. It was my go to strategy in 1942 Revised but seems a little more difficult with the political situations.

RE: Taranto Fail… What next in the Med?
@Private:
I recently played in a game where my UK ally did lose at Taranto, with a -58 ipc loss on the battle.
Italy retained 2 TTs and immediately took Egypt. My ally and I continued the game and lost in ten rounds.
I believe the only possibility of turning the game around needed to begin with allied fleet off Gib, which required such an investment against the vast resources that G and It had at their disposal that J would get an easy ride. To my mind the asymmetric victory conditions meant that R had to be saved (or Rome or Egypt taken) to deny an axis victory in Europe.
My ally did not share that conclusion so we never pursued it with the focus it would have needed. Of course if we had done so we might have lost in less than ten rounds!
In my first game where I lost Taranto (3rd game overall) I was able to win but it took 19 turns. We were all pretty new to the game so mistakes were made EVERYWHERE.

RE: Unit representations and timeline
Sean,
I don’t have an answer on the timeline stuff. That came up in my last game when we made it to 19 turns before the Axis surrendered. We joked that a young new Roman Catholic president was taking Washington by storm, the space race was just kicking into full gear, and a group of teenagers from the UK had become the hottest band on earth. We had assumed it was the early 60’s but with the 6 month per turn theory it would have only been 1949.

RE: Taranto Fail… What next in the Med?
Hey All! (sorry for having to use full names for some units, I haven’t picked up on all the short hand for them yet)
Thanks for some good advise (i.e. surrender :-D). I realize now that I could have added in the fighter from Gilbralter.
What I had been using was the Fighter from Malta and all sea and air units from SZ 98 giving me 1 fighter, 1 tac bomber, 1 AC, 1 cruiser, 1 destroyer. (I move the transport down to SZ 81 so that it would be safe from Italian fighters)
The first time I did this there were only the two Italian fighters scrambled and I just barely lost. The second game I tried this there was a German fighter added and I lost by quite a bit leaving the battleship and all 3 scrambled fighters.
It is very tough to keep Italy in check after giving them the Mediterranean bonus and losing that whole naval fleet. I like the idea of purchasing mec inf and a tank or two on the first turn with the plan of putting them in UK to hold off a sea lion threat but being able to place some of those in South Africa if Taranto fails.
I will keep reading up and I really appreciate all the help and humor.

Taranto Fail… What next in the Med?
So I have just started playing G40 and in my two turns on the Allied side we have failed to roll well in a Taranto raid using all naval ships able and flying in fighters. What would your next move be in the Med. after you have lost all units involved in the Taranto raid and left the Battleship?
Please be kind. First post and very new to the game.
