Global War, 2nd edition - due 1\. November 2015

John Brown

Thanks John. I will keep a look out for that sets release.

No problem.

Warwick, if you go to HBG’s website and look under the battle pieces on the left side of their front page and click on the country of France, checkout their picture gallery, by clicking under the picture of the French set and you will see the whole set.

It is going to be an amazing set. :-D

Maybe I missed it, but is there a 39 setup ? Or do you use the 36 setup but just jump to 39 ?

All they have ready right now is the 36 set-up, Coach (HGB) said they’ll have the 39 set-up out in a couple weeks (which hopefully means by the end of the month). Still waiting on the Anz Nation Ref Sheet BTW.

I have started to setup the units on my map (bought the 4’ x 8’), and it looks awesome. You get two, 2 sided battle boards (attack/def on opposite sides) and they are much bigger then I expected (6.5" x 20"), so there won’t be any problem fitting units on it. The tech, production, and build boards are also large and top notch too. All the player aids are made of vinyl so they won’t peel or crack like the card board ones.

I have the main powers set-up, and once I get some of the neutrals done (scavenging for units) l will try to post some pics.

Wild Bill is right, the play aids and map are really cool. If I get a chance, I will post pictures, sometime, as well. :-D

Munck, I will try by this weekend, if possible. I’ve very busy this time of year, but I will do my best. :-)

For now.

Thanks SS, for posting the map. :-)

Europe.

Also if you put the Production chart and Tech chart against a metal board, the magnets stick to the stryene charts. Saves me time by not having to make a metal board with stripes and numbers .

Crusaderiv, This map I think would be better for me to use with your game. Got the low territory values and starting money is close to yours.

Munck

SS, thanks for sharing.

I assume you have the large version - it looks huge (awesome!)

If the new game mechanics are what they seem from reading the rules, it will be difficult to go back to A&A global!

General 6 Stars

Yes 4’ x 8’ map. I’ve only played G40 once. Otherwise yes no going back. All G39’s games for me.

Does that mean the 1939 setup is out, or are you referring to the ANZAC reference sheet?

General 6 Stars

Where’s Sophiedog2 ? NO. the 39 setups are not out. The Anzac is for the 36 setup which is out only if you buy the game.

Can the Soviets use their rail factory ability on any turn? I could not find a restriction. I would think it should be triggered by war with a major power and enemies inside Russia, however it seems like the Soviets can move factories in July 1936.

Warwick

On the French and Great Britain reference sheet the following peacetime income modifiers exist.

France - “2D12 Axis initiates war with any country.”
Britain - “2D12 IPP Axis declares war on ANY OTHER country.”

Japan declares war on China. I am sure it is not the intention of the rules for WWII to breakout at the start of Japan-Chinese conflict, however what constituents “any country” for these powers? Or should Axis be changed to Germany?

Also
Britain has this modifier “D12 IPP Axis declares war on USSR.” If Germany, Japan, and Italy declare on USSR does this result in 1d12 or 3d12?

What happens when lend lease passes enemy ships, the rules don’t say?
