@Guldbrand Hej Jeg bor i Billund og spiller 1942 2nd, og 1940 Global, men er også frisk på andre versioner.
Har endnu ikke meget erfaring, men dog spillet et par år, med et par venner her i byen. Er lige i underkanten af 50 år.

Fantastic👍 Thank you very much!

No worries, someone might have an answer to the question……thanks for pitching in anyway😊

Ahhh thanks, I see the point of the squares and dots.
The VC status of Honolulu is a bit more peculiar to me. The city is not mentioned on page 6 of the rule book as a Victory city……

From page 6:

“On the map are twelve victory cities crucial to the war effort. As the game begins, each side controls six of these cities. The Allies begin the game controlling Washington, London, Leningrad, Moscow, Calcutta, and San Francisco. The Axis powers begin the game controlling Berlin, Paris, Rome, Shanghai, Manila, and Tokyo. The standard victory condition is if your side controls nine (9) victory cities at the end of a complete round of play (after the completion of the U.S. turn), you win the war.”

Why is Honolulu marked on the map if it isn’t a VC city……at least not according to the rule book? And what is the reason for some cities being marked with a square others with a roundel? Thanks

Thank You. That’s what I thought, but there is every reason to attack UK as well, clearly😊

Sure it is here somewhere but I can’t find it.

Will a Japanese Dow/attack on the US automatically bring UK/ANZAC into the war, even though latter territories/units are not attacked?

Thanks

Okay, Thank you very much……good to know!

I just have to be patient!

Hi…

Am currently into a game on TripleA playing as the Allies (map, World war ll Global 1940 2nd edition) version 3.9. (Out of box version )
In the third round, during the collect income phase as the Americans, the program correctly declares war on Axis powers. All fine until now, however no auto upgrades of Factories happen during fourth round, I`m sure all three American Factories should be up to production capacity of 10 by now.

Any ideas??

Saw “Darkest Hour” nominated for 6 Oscars last night……excellent movie on UK politics, May of 1940, can highly recommend it…Gary Oldman does a fantastic job as Winston Churchill.

@Gargantua:

You got to hack the mainframe and upload the download of the T Virus megapixel.

Any alternative ideas😁…… kinda’ of having same problem…😕

From the rule book;“New Chinese units can be mobilized on any Chinese territory that is controlled by China, including those captured in the current turn.”

With regard to Hong Kong and Burma this can happen if Calcutta is under Axis power as well as Hong Kong (Kwangtung) and Burma, and these are then liberated by Chinese forces. In this case China will take control, until Calcutta is liberated….and troops can be deployed in Chinese controlled territory.

Perfect, that is exactly what I was looking for……Thanks👍😀

Looking into Deutsche Afrika Korps, at HBG to spice up my 1940 Global game. The rule set states, terms for applying the game to the G40 variant, can be found in the appendix but no such thing can be found in the document….anyone familiar with this problem, or how would these units be applied in a reasonable way?

Thanks…

Hello there……

Welcome to this magnificent site!😊

From the rule book;

“Damaged Factories (industrial complexes): Bombers can damage industrial complexes directly. Plastic chips are placed under the targeted industrial complex. For each plastic chip that is under a given industrial complex, that factory can mobilize one less unit. Total damage to an industrial complex cannot exceed twice the IPC value of the territory on which the factory is located. Industrial complexes cannot be destroyed. They can be heavily damaged, however, and can be damaged to the point where they have at least as many damage markers as they have production capacity. In this case, no new units can enter the game through that factory until it is repaired.”

So, in other words, all your statements, 1-4 are correct, with regard to the last one…the factory may be damaged and useless, can however still be repaired even though damage is 16 (uk), but will NEVER be removed.

Great……thanks Panther.

Hello…

Will an Amphibious assault on France by the Americans, say from SZ13 into SZ8 be possible, with UK sea units already in zone 8?..and does the presence of the UK ships have any influence?

Now if this was a G40 game…Germans could scramble fighters into a sea battle…would it then be possible to take UK ships as casulties even though the Americans make the assault?

Thanks

Yep….Eventually I am properly going to go for the expensive, yet more enjoyable version of Global with HBG supplys to fill in the empty gap’s…and they are many in regard to Global 1936!! Collecting and customizing is actually part of the enjoyment, when no games are up anyway, so I don’t mind if my quest for pieces is prolonged…as long as my Risk pieces haven’t occupied my A&A board.

Well, funny as time goes by, and I have studied the various options and posts….the urged for a more realistic setup grows on me :?The “Attack” option might work for all neutrals, pretty or not…the Risk option I don’t fancy too much…small units about a century older than the rest of the board, nahhh!
With regard, to the use of 1941 box set, I may regret that in the long run, looking at the wrong units, may annoy the eye and the enjoyment of the game, so what’s left then??
A major investment in small plastic pieces from HBG?

I just wonder…

I will take a look in Larry’s forum, there might some answers to some of the unsolved issues there inevitably will be combining the games.
I kinda hoped getting the 1941 box (or two of them ) would have me covered at a reasonable expense, but the numbers covering each unit are insufficient, and some units will still be missing. Covering elite and special troops might not be a problem, as I can settle for roundels, at a reasonable expense or even homemade.

Eventually I will have to look into HBG or some other site for supplements😊👍

Thanks again for your comments.
