@jonahawesome said in Cold War / Using AA 1940 Global war board:
I’m setting it in the mid-1950s / Late
Experimenting with it and making I can get some ideas from y’all
what is world at war? i had never heard of it before i joined the forum, could somebody tell me what it is
its an expansion by Xeno Games. LOTS of new rules (ex. Germany can buy SS troops, America has the national guard). BTW, France is in it.
I’ve heard that the map for it is really badly designed, though.
so i guess it’s not the same map as world axis and allies? i thought it was like the same board
not the same board at all. the neutrals are worth money, Chinas a lot bigger.
is it as much fun as regular, or europe or pacfic?
So much more historically accurate, and the fact that it starts in 1939 is cool. Other then that…not really. Takes a year to play and 2 player sit and do nothing for like 3 turns, plus the rules arn’t very clear. If you wanna get one from them get East&West, thats a good game.
what about their game “the great war”? that looks pretty cool too… has anyone here ever played it before?
Never played that but I got the map. That looks good.
it would be hard though… there were no fighters/ bombers or tanks in 1914, so what other units could you have besides infantry and artillery? maybe you could have a cavalry unit which moves at 2 and attacks and defends at 2 and costs 5, or maybe a machine gun unit which defends at 3 but only attacks at 1 and moves at 1, but costs 6?
didnt they get tanks 1915?
So just for the first couple of turns you would have no tanks.
