@Arthur-Bomber-Harris said in In how many hours can you complete a G40 game:

@The-Captain if people are experienced, but not masters, they can complete two games in a marathon game day (15h or so). The game takes about the same time for 2-5 players.

Highly experienced people with careful battle calculations will take more time per round and play 3x more rounds before the outcome is decided, but it is rare to find high quality opponents.

True that experienced players will think things over more, but especially round1 they start with a plan. New players might start by looking at germany and going so what will i do. Experienced players already know in advance they play germany and already desided their buy and moves before the game starts. Same with japan.

A few things that i normally do to speed the game up.
4 color dice. So each combat round can be rolled in 1 go.
IPC update phace, during combat move place upside down roundels in the land combat areas. If you win leave them there, this phase you flip them over and update the income tracker.
Reorganize phase, inactive player will make neat stacks of the units on the board. So during combat/non-combat you dont swap units for chips you do that when your not doing anything.

sorry, missed your edit. can you redo when you do anz?
