A second post in one day? What is this? Well I thought that as we're heading into a new decade I might make a little interlude to what that means for gameplay, especially since this is an important one.

Feel free to discuss my choices and see if there is anything you think I should have included but didn't (I left out quite a bit that I felt will be a natural part of gameplay anyway).

I really enjoy reading your thoughts on moving forward into the 1940’s and WW2. I admit I am particularly worried about Thomas. I can’t wait to see what happens!
You and me both! He becomes a YA in 1943 and I really want him to survive this war! But we'll see what the game or dice decides and play accordingly.
I took a look at the family tree yesterday, and by my drafting rules 5 out of the 10 men in the right age will be drafted/volunteer to go, one of which only half the war. So it turns out I'm fairly spot percentage wise so far. But it will be interesting to see what happens to these young men, and in two cases their wives who are left behind. Amanda says she's not at all fond of the idea of needing to work outside the home! I might actually find that interesting to play.
I added one thing to the list in the post, rations. For the duration of the war, I will turn on the simple living trait for all homes and limit the amount of meat and sugar they can buy.
