A French destroyer and a British cruiser have been sunk off the coast of Denmark. We decided on the country groupings up front, and then randomly assigned the players.įrance had just fallen to the Germans. Heng played Germany and Italy, Allen played Japan. You start at an earlier point in history.
#AXIS AND ALLIES GLOBAL 1942 SERIES#
This is one of the key differences between the 1940 series and previous A&A games. In AAG40, Russia and USA are initially not at war, and may only join the action in Round 4, unless provoked, by being attacked, or USA may also enter war if Japan attacks UK or ANZAC. France is moderately well defended, but everyone knows it will fall to the Germans soon. Lots of U-boats (submarines) in the Atlantic ready to sink merchant ships (reduce income of the Allies). We had to play on the floor because the game board was just too big.įrom the point of view of the Germans. Many were taken in a hurry while playing. Note: Sorry that some of the photos are blurry.
#AXIS AND ALLIES GLOBAL 1942 PLUS#
Setup plus a quick overview of the rules took us an hour, I think about 40mins for setup, 20mins for rules.
I had originally planned to arrive slightly earlier to set up the game, but Heng and Wong arrived very soon after I did, and we ended up all setting up the game together. They have even printed out the reference sheets that I sent just a day ago. We all reached Allen's place before 9am, all having already eaten breakfast. I have played half a game of AAP40 once, but have not even played AAE40 by itself. Instead of lazing at home or wasting our youth at shopping centres, Allen, Heng, Wong and I spent a productive work-like 9-to-5 day at Allen's place, playing for the first time Axis & Allies Global 1940 (AAG40), which combines Axis & Allies Pacific 1940 (AAP40) and Axis & Allies Europe 1940 (AAE40) into one monster of a game.
