World War II: TCG Now available for iOS and Android for Free

Hi everyone!

It appears there were a few misprints and missed updates in the files on the Game Crafter site. Apologies to those who have purchased this game prior to today.

**Here is a list of errata and clarifications from any copies purchased prior to 23/08/2021:

ERRATA

CONTROL AND ROUND TRACKER MAT ARVN Starting Production Points should be 22, not 23. PARU Starting Production Points should be 13, not 23.

2) GAME BOARD/MAP

US Control Markers missing from the following territories;
** Bankok, Nkhon Phanom, Ubon Ratachathani. PARU Control Markers missing from all Thailand territories. ARVN Control Marker missing from Sadec. Country names missing.

3) RULE BOOK

Page 2: Armored Personnell Carriers are NOT in game (removed from components list). Page 7: Special Unit Rules and Placements: ARVN - “New ARVN units are placed in Saigon. If Saigon is controlled by Communist forces, ARVN may not place new units.” Page 7: Units and their Values: “*Helicopters are available to purchase by the US and ARVN player powers only.” Page 8: ANZUS: Anzus units deploy in Saigon, or if Saigon is controlled by Communist forces, Dixie Station. Page 11: Special Political Rules and Effects: Anti Communist Forces: The Silent War (Cambodia and Laos): add to first line “(Units starting the game in these territories do not count unless they move and remain in Cambodia or Laos)” Page 13: Bombers: “You may not conduct bombing on any territory you control” Page 13: Bombers: Bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail: “Bombing the Ho Chi Minh Trail is not considered invading and therefore does not allow the VC player to gain additional troops”

CLARIFICATIONS

Can Covert units move on the covert map?

No, covert troops remain in place. If they move, they are no longer covert and must be placed on the main board.

PARU has units starting the game on the Ho Chi Minh Trail. Are those territories US owned at the start of the game?

Those territories begin the game as ‘contested’/occupied and not controlled. If the Communist forces do not take them by the end of the first round and PARU or other Anti Communist forces remain, they will be controlled by the US (or other Anti Communist force).

I looked that game up on HBG’s site and I noticed something that I had ignored on something else I bought - it may be what you need. In the description of the game, in the first paragraph, is a critical sentence: “Game rules and setup charts will be provided by a download link after purchase.”

Assuming you created an HBG account before you bought the game, your account on HBG has a link to download the game rules on your account page. Login to your account and go to the order you placed to get the game. Take a look on the order form. The line for your game should include a line that says: “Spanish Civil War Game Click Here to Download”. If you click on the “Click Here to Download” you will get one of two response: either a download of the pdf with the game rules, etc… or notice that says: “Download Expired”. If you get download expired, open a trouble ticket and ask for a new download link. You will have to wait for Doug, et al., to come back from the holidays, but they are attentive and helped me out (gave me another copy of my download) when I complained about my problem.

I hope the above helps you get your rules.

We just got a couple of these in at the game store that I work for.  Has anyone here played it?

Apparently it was designed by a sub commander, Andrew Benford.  I think that some of the components look interesting, like the acrylic sonar overlays.  If anyone’s interested, I can try to give it a play and post a review of it here.

@toblerone77:

John I’m guessing you may have it already, but Battle Cry 150th Anniversary edition is readily available and improves upon the previous edition with almost twice the battle scenarios.

Anyways good luck with your search.

Tolerone77, I have two copies of that one and the original, and it is a great game, but I I wanted one that plays like Napoleon in Europe and this is as close as gets, till HBG produces their new Civil War game.

Thanks for mentioning it and thanks for wishing me luck. :-)

No problem John. If I find it I’ll send you a link if I find it anywhere.

Thanks buddy! :-)

If I do it, it must be dirty. :evil:

This game is good, but it did need to be longer and harder.
