Okay folks, a bit of good news Global War 1936v4 maps start shipping next week. There’s also a link for a list of suggested parts/pieces that you can download here - https://www.historicalboardgaming.com/assets/images/HBG Games/Global Games/1936v4/Global War 36 v 4 Recommended Parts List (2).pdf

@trig said in Which shipyard is that capital ship at?!?:

@captainnapalm Post-it notes. Rip them longways (so both are sticky) and write the territory name. Then stick it to the ship on the chart.

This is exactly what I do too!

@panzerbaguette Vichy would not be able to perform escort duty for the Italian convoy line, for the reasons you stated. It’s a neutral minor power controlled by Germany, and it’s only fighting ability is against Free France!

@hbg-gw-enthusiast thank you very much!

@hbg-gw-enthusiast I think it should be errata’d the subject of what counts as “An aircraft on Carriers.” Imo they should say that aircraft are only “on carriers” all the time save combat movement and combat. It would solve a couple other questionable areas as well.

@hbg-gw-enthusiast said in Subs, Destroyers, MAP and other ships:

then during non-combat I can treat that sea zone as empty? Could I move beyond the submarine then to another further sea zone? If my CV is two away from the submarine, the destroyers enter during combat movement, the submarine submerges, then I could move t

As per 0.5, When a submarine submerges, they are allowed to share sea zones with other vessesls. Thus submarines can not participate in combat until the next players combat phase. This means that you can non combat into zones with submerged submarines since combat can not occur.

@trig I assume they can too. They have to be able to defend themselves after all and they have very few land units.

@AlphaAeffchen said in Ship movement in peacetime (36 scenario):

Are my assumptions correct?

I would say they are. I think there are two exceptions though, 1) the US’s movement being restricted by their current income, 2) You cant combat move vs a nation through a canal they own.

@GeneralHandGrenade Excellent! Thank you, GHG.

“In other words you could place 5 infantry AND 5 ships at a territory with a major shipyard and a major factory. The shipyard is a factory for ships but needs to be connected to the factory for supply purposes.”

Completely changed my understanding of shipyards!
