Axis and Allies Global Second Edition - 1936 or 1937 Setup?

Hi all!

I’m new to the game, having lucked out on a bargain War at Sea Starter set!
So that’s my fleet extent right now, though if there are any players around Portsmouth to Southampton who want to play, Im more than happy to expand my fleets!

My ‘Weekend’ is actually Wednesday and Thursday, so free anytime on those days. I work unsociable hours and so would be available for late night/early morning combats on any day really… If anyone else is about at 1am…
However, as I say, anytime Weds/Thurs.

If there is a more popular version than War at Sea, Im happy to give those a try. Euro theater '44 seems oft talked about… And my interests are primarily ww2, naval and armoured warfare. Ill give anything a go though!

I also have Battle of Britain by PSC games, which Ive never played as everyone I know just sees the rules and says’ lets just play Dday Dice or War at Sea shall we? ’

Though I realise this is the Axis vAllies forum, just letting folk know what I have to play with!

(Also everyone plays 40k…all my local game clubs are friendly as anything, and people will drop their Space Marines for some ww2 Naval Tactical gaming… But haven’t found any people that would make it worth me buying a full on Battlefleet yet!

So if you are in these areas/times or know of any clubs Ive missed, let me know.

Thanks all, and game on!

Yeah that makes sense

@Midnight_Reaper There was a group of pieces made by pewtercraft each had their rules with them for use with axis and allies from that time period of MB. not sure if the rules can be found anymore and pewtercraft has been done for a while. The ones I currently have.

Fortresses
Heavy artillery
Anti tank guns
Mechanized infintry (this is in game now)
Pt Boats
Troop Trains (versions of this are now in game)
AAA/At guns
Scorched earth ruins
Pocket battleships

Some of the ideas are good if they are tweaked a bit.

If you read this thread you’d fine that the short version of my verdict on the game was:

So you’re in good company here. Most of the haters are over on the G40 board.

@Combat:

look at Websites that print vinyl banners.  You can get them as low as $50.  I printed my map using cheapbanners.com

Thanks… I’ll check it out.

@ghr2:

You should definitely get some sort of protective layer for that map.

I’m going to at some point. Until, I get a permanent place to play, it is rolled up in a cylinder tube. I’m going to have a man cave built, and then I will work on things like that. I’m going to have to either buy or have someone build me a table to fit the map. This is the plan, anyway. :-)

@Warplayer12:

Maybe a islamitic union instead of the mid east coalition. BTW, there is on World War 3 game on BoardGameGeek

necro!
