Rank Carcass vs GeneralHandGrenade

@superbattleshipyamato Honestly, you’d be better off looking the different Global Wars up on YouTube. Lots of great channels out there, and tons of comprehensive videos.

@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.

When reseaeching it say all unit get +1, should this be read as all exsisting units gets an auto upgrade? It also says reseaeched weapons must be built in major factory, so you can no longer build “normal mech” in a minor factories for the rest of the game?

Thanks for letting me know it still works with out of box rules.

Guess French West Africa does make sense to be Free.

So I tried to address a similar problem with the Monroe Doctrine. My group and I still have not gotten Monroe reaction by US down to 100% because the rule designer clearly didn’t think or test this shit out enough. (not shocked based on responses).

Non allies attack Americas: I’ve been told that the US doesn’t actually DoW by definitions of the words but take military action while at peace, think of it as a proxy war but both sides are directly involve like the Suez Crisis in real life. US may go down and engage and remove any hostile nations in the Americas and then they end up annexing the territories they took since they are active by rules and thus US was able to gain income while still being at peace.

France or Commonwealth (or any other official Allies): I put in the house rule that they cannot attack the Americas because the game doesn’t allow nations inside Alliances to fight each other so unless Monroe is the only situation where US will fight French and Commonwealth troops, I tell my group they simply do not wish to piss off the US and thus cannot attack the Americas.

No problem almashir,

You can blast the UK navy out of the water by end of Germany’s first turn and effectively blockade them. I’d turn my land forces’ attention, as I mentioned to france , Poland, Holland, Denmark, etc. Going for Yugoslavia and at least Narvik on impulse 2 is a good idea too. These are nice juicy targets that get you some income and don’t pit you in a heavy pressure situation vis a visthe US.

This is just my opinion. Others may play it more aggressively, but again, your opponent’s nature and abilities play a big role in a decision like that.

Im happy to see more people getting into this game. I think 2014 is shaping up to be a huge year forgloab 39. There is no point in me hiding my excitement and impatience for the new map, expansions, pieces, markers, and rules.

I make a point of playing this variant once a month and find myself always wanting more of it. Hopefully, you’ll take a liking to it too.

On the old map there was an airbase on Guam.The new map, as mentioned features no bases. Thing is, there is no airbase for Guam in the 4.1 set-up. Will there be 5.0 set-up charts?
