  1. 9 out of 10

    Good addition of the air element, which adds another layer to strategy. Good introduction of France and China to balance out the early Axis runaway train. The downside of the expanded card deck though (even with the new discard rule) is that economic warfare is not a painful as it once was though. And even the Axis players don’t have to worry about running out of cards in most games.

  2. 9 out of 10

    Never played original AH or AM (or original base), so no point of comparison. The new cards seem well-considered, though many (esp. the Bolsters) are very edge-case. One interesting side effect of narrow path cards is that it makes them easy discard fodder. Given discards are mandatory, and often non-trivial, it creates even more interesting asymmetry (the UK and US for instance, barely notice the discards, while Germany and Japan face really hard choices). The air units give a bit more resiliency, though I'm not sure I like the luck of the draw. I still struggle with France and China. They can't always be relevant (that would be too ahistorical), but I have yet to find it worthwhile to make them relevant at all. I think there's a good case to be made for playing in either mode (Total War vs Base QMG). Base feels more pure, more abstract. TW has a lot more card flow and more opportunity for "big" turns, but also a little cruft and overhead.

    확장이 들어가면서 프랑스와 중국이 추가되고 카드도 보강되었는데 룰을 제대로 이해하지 못한 초코 때문에 첫 테플은 별로라는 느낌을 받은것 같다. 다음에 하면 잘해야겠다.

Total War is the first expansion for the second edition of Quartermaster General, that provides players with a great number of new playing options, without dramatically increasing the play time.

Among these new game features, the most important is the introduction of Air Forces that brings a whole new dimension to the conflict. Air Forces help the players to defend Armies and Navies in the same space, or to attack adjacent Air Forces in battle.

Another new key feature is the presence of new forces: Chinese and French forces, that enlarge and change the opening setup, introducing many new strategies. A new tactical point is introduced into the game through Bolster cards, a new type of cards that are played directly from the hand as reactions to game play. “Last but not least”, the introduction of new alternate “what if” cards, that represent historical strategies that were considered but never executed, as Operation Sea Lion, the invasion of Britain.

With these important changes the game is still simple to learn and quick to setup, but these new tactical moves at player’s disposal in this expansion set increase the fun and ensure a further and greater replayability!
