Hello, I am CentralCommando, and I am a Axis and Allies fanatic.
My top three A&A games are:
Europe 1940 2nd Edition (1)
Axis and Allies Revised 2004 (2, don’t judge me.)
Axis and Allies Classic 1982 (3)

I hope this forum has a great future!

@Charles-Fontaine Egypt and Union of South Africa were British Dominions, Tunisia was a French protectorate.

Dang, the map is larger than 8GB and a 91-page rulebook? Holy smokes that’s massive! Thanks for the rulebook.

@vodot Sir, this is brilliant! I always though the Dutch East Indies looked ugly on that map. So with these overlays, not only does it look so much better, there’s more territories for more strategies! Also, this fixes my biggest problem with 50th: Italy. Italy originally only had three territories, and was overall irrelevant to the game as a whole. But here, There’s more territories for them, and a new pair of frontlines with IEA. Australia is improved too, which is a welcome quality-of-life addition.

@Commando-Brado Greetings, fellow commando!

@vodot Well, I look forward to seeing your solution to those problems. Perhaps you could make a Google Doc/Sheet table where you outline the changes to the setup depending on what division(s) you add? Just a suggestion, as having custom setup images for each combination would be an unnecessary amount of work.

(Also, I hit my daily upvote limit from your posts lol.)

@Titus The image already looks pretty good, but if you want to show the full quality of an image, There’s only a few options that I know of.

You could make a zoomed in shot. If your goal is to simply show a high-quality area on your map instead of the full thing, simply take a screenshot of that zoomed in shot and upload it the way you usually do.

You may be able to divide your file through a sectioner. You can upload your file onto a site such as PineTool or ImageSplitter and then divide your map into different parts. Then, you can download & then upload multiple crops of that image together in one post.

If you want to show the entire map in its high quality though, you’re likely going to need to upload your map through a 3rd-party file uploader. Some options include Zappfiles, Mediafire, and Dropbox. You can then link your exported image in your post.

If there’s a better method out there, please let me know, But these are probably the easiest options.

Also, good looking map!

@Nuts Welcome, fellow newer players! I hope everyone is having a good time here.

@HansMohr68 Well, let me know when you do more progress on it. (Map Fixes, Battle Board, etc.)

@Titus Ah, Okay. Neat setup though!

@barnee :O

@Axis-and-Allies-Events You’re not real?!

@djensen That would be great!

@panzerlord1939 From what I know of, there’s a couple rule and map changes through the versions (e.g. some maps have Bessarabia while others don’t). It isn’t anything too major, but it is something to consider. Just make sure you try to get components for the specific versions (easier for v4 as its the newest).

You’re welcome, and I’m glad I could help! :)))

@panzerlord1939 Yeah, you’ll likely have to print it out, unless you plan on playing digitally. And, I know you probably don’t understand some of the terminology and printing (it took a while for me too) but you’ll get the hang of it. If you have more questions, let me know!

And you’re welcome :)

@panzerlord1939 Here’s what I could find in a couple quick Google searches:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2889181367 - Global War 1936 v4 on Tabletop SImulator (Note, this game costs twenty dollars and is solely online.

https://boardgamegeek.com/image/6709067/global-war-1936-1945-third-edition - Global War 1936 v3 board on Boardgamegeek , you should also find other components there as well for free.

https://www.historicalboardgaming.com/Global-War-1936_ep_68-1.html - Here is the official Global War page on HBG. Here you can buy any components you don’t currently have/replicate (costs money, but may be cheaper than buying the whole game outright).

Hopefully this helps!

@panzerlord1939 Hello, typically you can recreate the game components by finding images/units online and printing them out. You can also use online games such as Tabletop Simulator to play it as well. Do know that these components will be lower quality than the real deal, but these are some solutions to getting this game for cheap(er).

@panzerlord1939 Unfortunately, Vader hasn’t been online in five years :(

If you two are still looking for 1936 A&A, I would recommend either getting Global War 1936 from HBG, or creating a custom ruleset/setup based off one of the many 1939 setups for this game or/and Hearts of Iron.

I wish I could say there was one, but none exist yet for G40 on this site.

@Commando-Brado Greetings, fellow commando!

@The-Captain Sounds interesting! Never really made sense why they dropped Atomic Bombers after Nova. I can understand during the 80s (cold war), but we’re mostly past that now. I’m curious to see your take on this weapon of mass destruction!
