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.

@coachofmany:
@Dispatch:
Are the rules/setup on Boardgamegeek the most recent version?
Yes, expect some minor revisions in a week or two.
Are the rules only available on BGG, or are they here somewhere as well?
-
Use BGG since any updates will go there too. The new map will not require new rules, but I am in the process of revising the rules to be a “stand alone” set so you don’t need to read the G40 rules. There will likely be a few minor changes over the last set, but nothing major. It will be posted to BGG for download after it has been reviewed and approved by Tigerman and Coach.
-
Do you guys sell a printed fullsize map?
I’ve seen the whole piece package available.
What I’m getting at here is I want to spend the $500 or whatever, to order the map AND all the accessory pieces for it. Will a kit like that be available? Or will I have to take the .pdf to a printer myself?
-
HBG prints the map for you on some very nice vinyl. No paper. This stuff is much better. Here is the link to the map:

The Revised version should be out around Monday and can be ordered in two sizes. I have the smaller $60 one that works well at 34" X 72", especially in the revised version it will be good. For the ultimate GW39 experience, shell out for the epic 47" X 96" version at $100. If you have the room to play this, you will never put it away. Rules will need to be printed along with setup charts etc on your own. Files are all on BGG here:
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/113337/global-war-1939
Finally, to get all the pieces you need for the game, you must own Europe and Pacific 1940. In addition, here is the link for the special GW39 set to buy from HBG that will cover the rest:

Included there is a listing of everything in the kit. Buying it this way saves a bunch of money over buying the individual pieces. I will include a pic below. Hope that answers all your questions!
-
If I buy the revised map, will it be compatible with Jeremy’s d6 variant?
I just bought an Italy set from FMG, and am waiting for the German set. do I need some from HBG above what I got or can get from FMG, in order to play the game now?
-
I know that you are revising the map, so I’d like to ask: Can you put ROME closer to it’s real location? (withouth changing the game mechanics)
Rome should be in the middle of Italy, you’ve put it where Venice is located.
Thanks!
The revised map will be identical to the old 39 map except for certain name changes, larger Europe,Japan, and Great Britain. Hope this doesn’t keep you from buying the map!
-
I’ll buy it yeah, only it will be funny with my friends (all being Italians) pointing me Rome every 5 secs :(
-
Actually I’m adding victory cities and Rome will be geographically correct

I have many Axis and Allies, (Pacific, Pacific40, Europe40, Anniversary, Revised, Spring 42)

Bottom of post includes a list of what stuff comes with the piece pack for the D12 version. So Im sure we will need some of what is listed there. I too am using the D6 system, and Im not exactly sure what I need for that.
Field Marshal Games created the D6 version, so I will try and ask him.
-
The D6 setup charts are on BoardgameGeek.
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/113337/global-war-1939
From the charts you should be able to tell what pieces are required.

Cool we’re going to try it this weekend.

Guys,
––I’m going back and re-reading all of the hundreds of pages concerning HBG’s Global 1939 since I/we now have found additional players I’ve ordered the larger map and units set. It’s taken quite a while,…but I feel it’s a good investment in a better understanding of the rules/game.
----Great Work Doug & Adam!

Hi all.
Would it be possible to buy an editable and digital file for this map? I would like to make some customizations on my one.
Thank you.

Hi Coach.
I think I previously posted this in the wrong thread.
While browsing the expanded rules on the HBG site i noticed the Australian division marker rules. We will now be able to utilize division level units with these rules using the division markers provided by HBG. I started putting my order together but noticed there are no UK infantry division markers. Will any be produced?
How is the Island Warfare expnsion coming along? Is it on schedule for release this summer?
Will we ever be able to purchase resource markers individually or always in sets of ten?
-
I do need to produce some UK Infantry markers, i will put that on our list.
island Warfare is delayed but we are looking on the best way to produce these sets with our factory.
We are actually changing the way you can purchase pieces on the site, no more ones or two, there will be a 5 min. on pieces and markers. We have to do this to keep us going. -
Thanks Coach,
Will standby.
