Thanks for the info. Good news is it will be back in stock at some point. Bad news not sure when that will be. We are anxious to begin the plunge from 1942 second edition into 1940 Global.

Is this set no longer available at retail? I can not find it anywhere. I did find it secondhand on eBay though.

You can check out the game in progress on my Youtube channel….

I had a bunch of videos on my old channel. I have started posting them again on my new channel. Below is a link to what I uploaded last night.

It’s a great game. It is a masterpiece board game.

In our games the centrals usually win if the Russian revolution rule is in play. If it’s not in play, the allies win.

Odd,

You make great points. I have to over your math again for Italian front. I also think we need to look at Russia’s reinforcements if they do not attack Mesopotamia. By all means keep suggestions coming as it gives more ideas for our ne t game.

Spain was attacked because USA had 4 tanks and could take Spain without losing money. In that game allies were hoping Paris would hold out for another turn. It was a gamble, and it did not pay off. At that point in the game the centrals were in the drivers seat and the allies were desperate to increase their income.

Keep in mind every time you buy transports for UK in round 1 or 2, it means less boots on the ground. It’s a trade off. I think it’s better to use French transports for moving UK troops to western front. Granted, using the French transports is slower.

I like the opening move. When the Russian rev rule is not in play, I usually go heavier into Russia.

Ignoring Italy on turn 1 is one way to go. However,  Italy will be coming at AH with a nice stack on round 2. In addition, they have units in Albania they activated in round 1.

They will be able to attack Trieste on round 2 and contest it.

Stop by and check it out. One note, all chips regardless of color represent one unit. We just love looking at Super Stacks of units.
