@thrasher1 Our group plays China at War, Turkey at War, Fighting Railways, and Diplomacy. We have played others, but those 4 are our favorites. Diplomacy is starting to wear out it’s welcome a bit, as far as I’m concerned. It adds a lot of fun to the game, but it heavily favors the Allies. Some games it can really swing things.
Global War -1936-1939-1942

The most important thing has got to be scale though, we don’t need massive north and south Americas.
Also, it would be neat to have vertical connections on the map so bombers can fly over canada and into russia (for 1945 cold war games)
Multiple territory japan, multiple sea zones around it too.

been waiting for this one for a while

Purple might not be the best choice for impassable terrain

I use standard AA pieces and colors for this game but I am happy to see them expand into this game.
On that note I do use the Ottoman pieces and would like to see a few new pieces in that color.

This looks and sounds amazing. :-o
-
Very exciting! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Looking great!

This looks very absolutely awesome! Are there any plans to release an initial PDF file of the map and word document of the rules on the HBG site, as was done with the 1939 map before the revised map version was released?
-
There will be NO release of the PDF of our maps.
-
Ahh roger that coachofmany, can’t wait for the release then! I am loving the Risk piece cavalry units, a really great idea.

I’m very excited about the updated rules, but I’m not fond of the new map. In the closeup of the South America pic the text around the coasts and the graphics inside the territories are very busy and distracting. My group prefers a cleaner look. The extra graphics are interesting to look at, once, then they get our way during play. Just constructive criticism. :)

I’m really looking forward to this map. The increased detail will add a whole new level of strategic depth in my opinion. I’m picturing columns of panzer edging ever closer to the Volga River. It certainly expands the possibilities for house rules. Combined with the accurate geography and political boundaries of 1936, this will be very impressive!

Is this project still in the works? I’m very excited about it.

.It is. Working on 3 setups and many new features. Look for it in the fall of 2014

Any chance you might go with a hex sea zone scheme?

General Doug,

––I, too, would prefer a map w/o the pretty but distracting artwork such as the B-17 in the Pacific on your 1939 map (which is otherwise excellent). However, I DO like the “waves” on all of the coastlines.
––I’m guessing here, but I’d imagine that this map will allow longer games including the Evolution of the game Units, like from Pre-war Battleship, to Battleship, to Heavy Battleship. Is this correct? If so, this game varient will undoubtably have the largest impact on A&A gaming yet!
––I’m certainly going to be anxiously awaiting it’s release and will be watching for all of the updates.Three cheers for the HBG gang (again)
“Tall Paul” :-D

How big will the map be? Will it be the same size as the current revised 1939 map?
Thanks,

Really like this 1936 variant from what I have seen so far :-)
Maybe now I don’t have to play like 80 hours of WorldInFlames to get a complete, satisfying WW2-feel.
Great game though very long playing time :cry:.Units taking time to produce very nice :-D. BBs/CVs taking like 2 years in reality, but at reduced IPC cost compared to current cost, ofc.
Speaking of IPCs, I missed the IPC values on the maps?! Guess that’s just a ‘test-feature’ ;-).Hopes up for a slightly more sophisticated combat system (with less dice rolled?) that is more forgiving and softening up (very) bad/good rolling.
