Game 19 - Chris & Brian's EPIC 23-Turn Playthrough of Axis & Allies Global 1940 

I liked how you explained your strategy in the beginning, definitely keep doing thet

Your narration was perfect: well organized to keep the runtime (relatively) short, but insightful enough to let the viewer know what strategies were going on in your heads. Very cool!

I love this game. I have the global and had a friend make a custom box of wood to look like a WW2 artilery ammo box and smaller boxes to fit each country. They all fit inside the ammo box with the maps. He even made custom dice rolling trays for each side. It's a verry cool looking set when I bring it out to play with friends.

epic

Can't say thank you enough for your channel. Nobody else does long form videos of entire games that are actually watchable like this. Crank you up to 1.75 speed and receive an incredible dose of experienced gameplay. Thank you again!

That was an emotional rollercoaster! Also, this video has been a big help. I started my first game of Axis and Allies yesterday and have been studying the rules/strategy to prep for when my turn happens tomorrow. (We played for 3 hours and I still haven't gone yet!) 😂 That is because I am playing as Italy which, as you know, comes last in the turn order. However, and am confident I can win the Mediterranean! The British player is a player and is scared by the number of ships Italy has, so he will either retreat or take my lone cruiser instead of killing my battleship. Either way, it works for me! After that, I plan to Focus on Egypt and prepare to take Gibraltar the next turn. Wish me luck!

Insane game. the house rules definitely favor the allies, Japan when they took sydney couldve declared game over in out of box but then the war would only be half as long, so I'm glad I got to watch this instead. Great back and forth. Hope you record more games. the outcome of germany's eastern front as always decided the whole war... interesting how larry harris was able to make the game this way (and very historically accurate

That... that's not where the Urals are... Great video! just kills me every time you've said that XD

wow 23 turns, it will take me a few days to watch it all lol

Brian, you do great with commentary- very efficient, with a bit of humor.

Fairly new to your videos and I love them! I have found them helpful to my gameplay. As a fellow Michigander based out of Kalamazoo it’s good to see other ganders playing :)

strategic talk up front is great! (as said by the 3 years late guy)

Excellent house rules, loads of strategies-a real eye opener. Well played all around

Such good gameplay by the both of you! I was seriously impressed by both the Axis and Allies' strategies, each playing their own strengths. Brian, your commentating cracks me up. There are some things I like about your house rules, like the additional pieces. The tokens thing I'm neutral on, but the factory and military base addendum seems to break the game personally. Not to take anything away from Chris' gameplay (it was great!), but I do feel like the house rules favor the Allies a bit too much. I think your factory change would definitely help. Thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Keep the videos coming!

Once had a two player 18 hour game. No idea how many turns it took.

Fantastic game, going to put some of your house rules into our next game.

Continue to say the strat at the start

Love your games very epic game well done to you both. We play a lot of G40 myself and my boys, but lately been playing d day

i really like this

i love the lak of ground troops by the axis. no wonder they lost. and i mean you Chris.

Liked the talk

Would have been nice to cut up the edit for specific parts of the game that some may have questions about.

Watch at 1.5x speed. Makes it worthwhile as not having to spend 2.3 hours

Great video!! Ps. the Ural mountains are to the east of Moscow not in Ukraine-Novograd.

Dang I just started playing this game online and it must be a big headache trying to follow where everything is going when playing on board. Do you write on paper all your moves before executing them ? Just wondering how it is done (Since I never played on board)

It would be cool to see an Axis and Allies style version of “Operation Unthinkable.”

Great video bryan. I think Germany would do a lot better with an immediate initial focus on the east (buying tanks in round one and attacking the Soviets on round 2. I am 31 minutes into the video and at this point, Moscow seems pretty impregnable. )

Military bases produce as much as the IPC value of the territory they're built on, up to a maximum of 3. Make this change and maybe the Axis will someday win again

"What would the 2000's look like at that point if WW2 went this way". Lmao at turn 24, the 2000's probably would have come and gone already

How much to buy a military base? . Good walk through, thanks

See how did Russia change the momentum? every game I play (and we are pretty experienced) Germany crushes Moscow and Japan comes from behind, Russia is donesky, AA is a great game but they all boil down to the same thing if Moscow falls the Axis have won and they rush it as they have the economic advantage against them, Russians are essentially helpless.

What’s the house rules you use

How long does a game of global take?

Your war goes little bit like real time.

Hi Chris, you can't buy a major complex in Malaya. Only in "original" territory with a value +3IPC.

Will you post your house rules?

The Allie’s won when they first landed In Gibraltar and the entire German force pulled away from Moscow just from the threat of the Allie’s, they hadn’t even landed yet. Probably the worst move I’ve ever seen any axis, Germany threw the game so hard 💀

Great video! But I feel like japans delay on action on Pearl Harbor or the Middle East has given all the momentum to the Allie’s.

I suprised to see US not being aggressive vs Japanese. Japanese can do whatever they want. Seems to me Americans are too scared in Pacific

Italy, with a little German help takes Africa. UK goes down not a threat. why cannot people see that. 0

this is not a Chris and you game. stop lying. this is a solo game.

I love this game and I have always been tempted to get 1940. But it boggles my mind that with there being so much action and so many units in Europe that the board is so badly designed. The amount of wasted space in areas where there are rarely any units, southern africa etc. And europe spaces being tiny is really off putting. Especially when looking at this version where unit numbers and pieces for facilities are increased. It's so messy
