I based off what they pretty much had at peak of war. I didn’t do the 1 piece equals so many. I just made it like Uk 6 BB and spread them out. US I had 7 BB but reduced it to 5. 4 damaged in Hawaii at start of game. If it had like real 4 light cruisers and 2 h cruisers I just made that 2 normal cruisers and 2 more normal cruisers. To eliminate the 3 diff pieces. Everything else straight up with tweaks to setup as we played the game.
Yes the eastern front setup is more like spring of 41 than dec. 41 like pac is. based on the game balance and timing to work
Out. As u see the battle of the Atlantic is at its peak too. More like dec 41 there. Only issue in most games if not all is the d day invasions. Most happen before June of 44 in all games but to get correct US wouldn’t attack Europe until turn 7 or 8 with torch happening sooner
That would be a major setup change and year of turns.
I have my own map for game too.
Global War 1940/41

Those look Nice And would most likely be cheaper in the long run
I had a friend get out of playing because of work issues, and I was able to use those pieces as trade fodder to get the amount of each piece a i needed from each country
as an example I have 12 PzIV Ausf G’s which is the german tank you see, Now aquire the same # of tanks for each country depends on the country. Some are uncommon and some are rares. Japan was the hardest to collect btw.

I am working on the Axis Minors, Toldi tanks, T-26, PZ-38t
I have Dutch ships, Candadian, Australian, as well as France.
It is growing! I am also adding Light tanks to each country so that i will have them as the game progresses. -
Thanks for the information, I suck at painting and even if the minitures cost more I think it evens out on time spent on painting or paying someone else to paint it for me.
@coachofmany:
I would buy “Panzerschiffe” 1/2400 which are smaller than AA Min’s but larger than AAA from the box.
You can get destroyer for $1.50 , cruisers for $3.00 and BB for $5.00
Then paint them what you want.
This is the way I am going. -
I can paint, but do not have the time, I will have to pay! :cry:
-
Who do you get to paint your pieces? Is there a service? Also how much does it cost?

How about some comments on the game play?
-
where did you get all of those units?
-
Gameplay was fairly smooth and balanced. USA went with a KJF strat but Japan was still able to get to Moscow but not in great strenght. russia stalled germany for the majority of the game but if USA had went to europe germany may have fallen for good earlier. leaving japan in russia faster and stronger but alone.

Thanks for the links to the game pieces. A +1 to you.
-
the pics from the game is awesome. my buddies and are going to test the game today. are you still working on a 1939 version?
what programm did you use to create the map?
i can’t wait to play this!
are you all from the states? -
Great pics!
I have played this map many times and it always sets up for a great game. Recently, I have used the Minor Axis & Allied Powers rules to further enhance the experience. Again, this map is perfect for this rules extension.

Hello all
I am going to try and set up another game in late Nov. or early Dec. Hit me up if you are interested.
-
Where is the game going to be played?
-
Did anyone try the Abattlemap module I made for Axis & Allies Global War? You can use it to play anyone with a dice server.

@Brain:
Where is the game going to be played?
Wisconsin
-
Wisconsin? You’re name should be Cheese Head, not Deaths Head. Just kidding. :-D
I would love to play, but I am a long ways away.
I would love though to see pictures of the game after each turn with some commentary.
-
I get to involved in the game and forget to take notes, to post with the pics. I will try harder next time
-
That would be great.
-
Let me know with enough time so I can arange to be off that day. I would love to play it again.
