Global War 1940/41

@whitewolfmxc:

For players aid :

1. add in cruiser ship for the purchase chart

I can’t, I personally lack the know how or a good unit shadow to use. can rules insert it in.

2. add in neutral deploy unit symbols on the map (just for neutrals)

Why? isn’t the off white color say they are neutral enough?

To add a bit more realism :

1. make japan into 4 areas :

What will this accomplish?

2. Gibraltar : who ever controls this can pass through between there and Morocco

Rules change not a map change

3. Denmark : who ever controls it can pass through sea zone 18

4. Norway : who ever controls it can pass through sea zone 17

5. Maylay : who ever controls it pass through sea zone 70

Same answer as Gibraltar

6. add in polisti (the main oil production for Germany , inside Romania) for Romania as a victory city

I moved the Factory back to Yugoslavia so i decided no victory city was needed and I couldn’t figure out what font was originally used

7. Change name of Cairo to Egypt : and make Cairo a victory city inside it.

Lack the letters on the Map with correct background to copy and paste into place, and again the font issue

8 ) add Portugal beside Spain as neutral (will join axis if attack) and Azores belong to them too

Azores are on the map, and I tried drawing a border and it didn’t look right

9. Iraq was actually pro axis , so at least make it neutral (join axis if under attack)

The European game has it as British so I left it the same

10. add in whales for mainland England

Space is congested enough, not enough room for another territory

11. add in northern Ireland as England controlled separating from Eire

again, space constraints due to piece size

12 ) add in Belgian at where it was

not enough room on map

13. add in Cherbourg at western France as victory city

France already has Paris

14. Split Yugoslavia into two half  , the inner land first half still remains Yugoslavia (inner land) or as Croatia  as German control, All the shore areas are into one new area (maybe something like Italian owned Yugoslavia) this area connects mainland Italy and Greece / Albania together

Why does it need to be connected? It is surrounded by friendly territory.

15. add port in Vladivostok

There is a port in the japan sea zone already

16. add Soviet convoy at sea zone 134

Soviets already make alot

17. add German convoy at sea zone 18 (all the Sweden minerals are imported there)

Not enough space on map

18. add British convoy in sea zone 64 (Suez was the most important supply line for Africa)

without looking at which zone is 64, Indian Ocean already has 2 convoys for UK and there is simply no room for one in the Med.

19. Argentina would turn axis if under attack ( they were pro axis at the time )

Rules adjustment, not a map adjustment

20. Brazil would turn allies if under attack (pro US they were)

I made them neutral for that reason. Axis powers can’t get there B4 US anyways

Thank you for your feedback, but my technical skills are not that sharp, I did what I could with the map given to me to work with.

I understand that there are also a few spelling errors still, but no where as many as their where. Any who, hope these reasons of mine are a satisfactory explanation for you.

Honestly, I have not…… yet

Too much on my plate lately. And to top it all off, I have a Son Due on Oct 26th, so I have been really busy. But I promise I WILL check it out

I edited the first post with some rules that we use for this map.

If anybody has any good suggestions for a Italian National Advantage, I would love to hear about it

Europe at Set Up

USA E. coast Set up

Pacific Set up

Asia at set up

Most of Russia set up

a shot looking down at Germany from Set up

Late in the game, USA is pushing in on JPN

same push from above

One of UK many “landings” in Europe

Another UK landing in Europe.  He took Berlin on this one

Jap. Aggression

the “walls” Square off
this photo was taken right after Russia Plowed into a Japanese stack, reducing it to 2 units left.  Russia inflicted 36 casualties to Japans 9  :evil:

The whole Board

We used large pieces to Act as Fleet or Army cards

More shots of Russia

The mighty Italian Fleet

Russia and Germany Again

Just Another pic

Well there are the few pics I promised you all.

Overall the game was a lot of fun, I would like to thank all of the players who showed up this weekend

The axis players wanted to call a draw, but after Russia completly dismantled Japans Stack with little loss to themselves it was apparent the Russia could also Destroy the German and Italian stack combined.

We played with 2 National advantages at games start, added another at the begining of round 6, and then added a free tech at the end of round 10

The combined Allied fleet went deep into Hostile japanese territory with much confidence, but after Japan rolled Jet fighter for there free tech, they quickly destroyed the Allied efforts although themselves sustained Heavy losses.

The UK managed several landings in Europe and even took Berlin and their 60+ IPC’s that they had.

The Axis players did pick up 3 new victory cities to show for their efforts, along with JPN’s vast expansion throughout Asia and the Pacific

This game was in the making for over 3 yrs.  It took along time to collect all the playing pieces and to collect a large amount of each unit needed.

If anybody wishes to play, drop me a line and we will see if we can set something up
