Hey everybody what’s up! I have been playing Global War 1936 for about 9 months now with a few friends and we enjoy the game very much. I am a big of HBG and what they are doing. However, after each match of Global War I play, I am left wanting something more out of the game. After a bit of thinking and some sifting through this forum, I decided to try and make my own alternate version of Global War. Before I get into any details, I would like to state for the record that I was inspired to create this variant by Bud Tarentine and Mike Koffey so they deserve a lot of the credit for what I’ve done here. I read through the thread they created and liked a lot of the ideas they had so I wanted to try and implement some of them into my own version.
What I’ve done is take the rules of Global War 1936 and just add in some new rules and concepts to make the game a little more realistic, although I am not totally sure if what I’ve come up with is realistic or not. I am not looking to totally change the game because I really like a lot of what HBG has done with GW1936. I already have some rules put down on a document that I am willing to share if anyone is interested, but I have not been able to play test them just yet so I do not know how these ideas will play out. I am also looking for some input and other suggestions, whether it is constructive criticism or whatever, from the community on some new ideas to help make this variant a little more realistic. All of this is a work in progress and I will be looking to smooth out the rough edges once I get to play test this. Hope some of you find some use out of this! Please let me know if you have any interest, comments, or questions!
I should also mention that I am using a D20 for this variant for various reasons, this means unit combat values will be different. I have reworked the reference sheets for each nation, I have added/taken/modified things, and I have also created unit charts for each nation because I have introduced a measure that changes how units are taken as casualties in combat.
