So just an update to my game status.  We only got up until china’s turn then everyone wanted to quit.  Unfortunately we did not get to play much at all so kinda bummed me out.  With that I cannot report how balanced I feel the game was.  Hopefully get to play sometime again. -Leon

Thanks for putting everything into perspective for me.  You have changed my mind and I am willing to give NO’s a try for sure  :-D  Do you happen to know if anyone has ever made any for France?  On the off chance they are alive? -Leon

I really appreciate all the input.  I also noticed the bonus IC’s countries get for objectives.  Such as Italy getting IC for control of the Mediterranean.  In general do these bonus create large amounts of money going around?  I remember in the original A&A money was sometimes tight.  So aside from the smaller nations, do larger ones such as Germany get huge amounts of money for a ton of units?  Or is it not as bad as I am thinking?  I will be playing for the first time in 3 days, and to be honest I am not liking the country money bonuses. -Leon

I sincerely appreciate everyone’s input.  It is quite a shame to not give France a chance at the game, since prior to the war they were the strongest country in Europe other than the Soviet Union.

Hello all.
    First time poster, long time fan of axis and allies and newbie to these forums.  I am going to play my very first game of global 1940.  I am pretty decent at A&A games.  I noticed France has 0% chance to survive in anyway here.  It was not so the case in real life.  Just wondering if anyone has tried a game where France went first then Germany?  If so how did it turn out?  I am strongly considering doing that on sunday when my friends and I will be playing.  Any advice or tips would be awesome, thanks. -Leon
