@Foxtrot:

Good morning! After about 7 years since I last played Global (Alpha 2?), I’m hoping to get a game starting with a friend. I’ve dusted off my old set, and computer folder of resources and aids, but it appears there have been a lot of developments, and I’m having trouble getting up to speed. I’ve return to the Boards here to ask for help. Below are some of questions:

1. Does “G40.2” refer to the Global rules in the Pacific Second Ed. rulebook?
2. What is the current/latest version of Global 1940 rules and setup?
3. Is there a new version or revision planned?
4. What resources should I download before playing; are there definitive FAQs or modified rules?
5. Is there anything else I should know, or be asking?

Thanks, Eph

1. Yes
2. See https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=28703.0
3. No
4. Latest rulebooks and FAQ are linked here: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=28703.0
5. Just come back in case of further questions.
:-)

Yes and yes.

@Maddog77:

My sons and I will play a round or two an evening. Sometimes it take almost a month to complete a game, but we don’t get burned out on it that way. It helps having a room I can leave the game up in too. We have been connecting up w/ others through these forums and playing 12-14 hours games! That works too!

This is a good idea.  I could leave it set up for a while and play by forum.

How would I go about doing that?  Could anyone direct me to the correct area?

Cheers.

@cenator01:

I think this depends on how many new player you have.
If there are 3 veterans and only one new player, give him USSR.
If there are more newbies than veterans, then let them choose, but maybe dont go 150%.
To my experience:
DON’T TELL THEM WHAT TO DO! Give them an overview of their possibilities and goals (USSR: survive, UK: harass Italy, Germany and Japan, US: Go by force, and finish them off)
Its easier for new players to play the allies, because of their very clear objectives (Do not loose), whereas the Axis have to figure out a way to win. Much more preparations have to be taken, to get you on the win. Its much easier to loose for the axis, due to stupid mistakes.

the national objectives are handy guide aswell…

Thank you very much

According to Larry’s most recent posting the US NO’s are below.  So the US only gets their starting 35 IPC’s and then add the NO’s below when at war, correct?  Nothing else.  We are under the impression it was 35 starting plus 30 when at war PLUS the NO’s on top of that 65 for a possible 90+depending on the NO’s accomplished.

United States
When at War
1. Collect 15 IPCs per turn for complete control of the continental US and Mexico (WUS, CUS, EUS).
2. Collect 5 IPC per turn if the Allies control 5 of the 7 following islands. Midway, Wake, Marianas, Iwo Jima, Caroline, Solomon Islands and Guam.
3. Collect 5 IPCs per turn for controlling the Philippines
4. Collect 5 IPCs per turn for controlling Hawaii, Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, Line Islands, and Johnston Island
5. Collect 5 IPCs for turn for controlling Southern Mexico, Central America (Panama)and the West indies

You are correct.  It’s the base 35 (assuming they still own all of their original territories that comprise of that 35 ipc’s), plus 30 for being at war, plus whatever amount per NO they have fulfilled for that turn.

Incorrect; the +30 was originally an NO that was split into the NOs listed. Thus, the US collects 35+NO’s for whatever they have.

Argh, I can’t keep up with the continuing changes to the OOB rules.  /sigh.

Krieghund i put them on the board in horizontal position and each time i use one (no matter where) i put one of them verticaly on the board. It helps detecting where the kamikase locations are.

@tytyboogie:

my question is lets say russia takes a german territory on there turn(2) and has there land units in that territory…on the U.K 's turn (4) in that same round…can U.K.  planes safely land there in that russia territory that they took over from germany. so basically do u have to wait for the entire round to be over before any friendly planes can land in a territory.

Any territory that starts the turn friendly to a player (in this case, the territory that russia captured) has no restrictions for movement, repair, etc.  Naval bases, factorys, airfields would all be operational, and you would be allowed to noncombat land planes there.

This is also why it’s better, if it’s possible, to liberate Russian factories with another power than to wait for Russia to liberate them, as russia would start its turn with the factory able to produce units that turn (as opposed to russia liberating it, and being forced to wait a full round).
