A question came up while playing this game regarding Russia’s National Advantage, the Non-Aggression Treaty between Japan and Russia. If Japan attacks Russia in multiple territories at once, do they get 4 additional infantry in only one territory, or does each territory that is attacked get 4 infantry? The rule is not entire clear about this. It could be read either way.

“The first time in the game that Japanese forces attack any red territory, you may place four infantry from your inventory in that territory for free before resolving combat. If you attack Japan before it attacks you, you lose this advantage.”

@trig I’m looking forward to the upcoming GW1914 game they’re developing now.

@phd_angel This is not the expansion set for Global War, but a stand alone game. You get the rules and setup charts when you purchase the map.

Map and charts for sale. Everything has been kept in great shape. Just want to see it go to a good home. Asking $250, and I’ll cover shipping.

Couldn’t find and accordion folders that were big enough. What I came up with are poster boxes. Picked one up at the UPS store. I can fit all the charts inside, it keeps them I good condition, and it stores well.

Does anyone have a good method for storing the charts that come with the game? The diplomacy chart, battle boards, the map overlays, etc? I’d like to keep them in good shape when I have them put away.

Although it’s more time consuming, I’ve been using acrylic paints because they’re cheaper. Here’s what I’ve been able to match so far:

Apple Barrel brand (available at Walmart):
Coffee Bean - Russia
Barn Red - Maroon Russia/HBG Maroon (matches ok, not perfect)
Lite Mocha - D-Day Blonde
Khaki - UK G40/HBG Tan
Milk Chocolate - Italy
Christmas Green - HBG Dark Green
Cool Blue - HBG Light Blue (ok match)
Elephant Gray - HBG Light Gray
Dark Gray - HBG Dark Gray
Pewter Gray - Anzac
Bright Blue - France
Bright Red - Pacific 2001/HBG Red
Sublime Lime - HBG Yellow Green

For American Pieces I use Craft Smart’s Olive Green from Michaels

I’m having trouble matching Celery Green (Revised UK), and the Classic Japan/HBG Yellow Gold. Anyone find something that works with them?

I’m currently building my Global War set, and I’m painting a lot of pieces to make pieces of a certain color that are not available. (i.e. Orange submarines). I’ve found good matches for most of the colors, but I’m having trouble with two sets in particular:
-Classic Japanese/HBG Yellow Gold
-Revised UK/HBG Celery Green

Has anyone found paints that are decent matches for these color pieces? Can be spray, or brush on paint. Don’t have to be perfect matches, just close enough that you can tell what nation the pieces belong to.

@GeneralHandGrenade, Thank you for all that you do for the community!

Perhaps I’ve overlooked this, but when you lend-lease to another country, can you only send units that are in the receiving country’s build chart? For example, could America lend-lease a tank to China, or would they have to wait until the unlikely event that China becomes a major power?

Does it apply to countries with advanced units? If Germany researches Advanced Artillery, could they send one to Italy if they haven’t researched it?

@Chris_Henry, agreed! What I’ve done in the meantime is I bought A&A Classic subs, and painted them orange for my Dutch set.

Initially, I was going to use the “Japanese” red to build Manchukuo or Siamese forces, but found that it was difficult for me to tell the difference between the two when they’re placed on the board (I’m significantly red-green colorblind). At least with the Russian pieces, I can tell what they are.

I’m slightly confused about whether or not England and France can lend lease to Abyssinia in version 2. There is no supply path, and UK/France player cards state that they cannot lend lease until they are at war with a major power. But, concerning the Italian campaign in Abyssinia, it states that other countries can lend lease to Abyssinia.

Is it possible, and if not, why include it in the Italian campaign rules? There seems to be no other way to prevent Italy from conquering Abyssinia.

This issue seems to be fixed in version 3, but we’re playing version 2 on Tabletop Simulator because of covid19.

@Credulous they are the same color. They also match the red Japanese pieces that came with the old version of A&A Pacific 2001.

Thank you, @SS-GEN! You’re a life saver. The package arrived today, and is now full of little green men.

@SS-GEN 2nd edition.

I did a foolish thing, and lost my Americans. I’m gonna order replacements from HBG, but now I need a replacement box.

Anyone have a spare they can part with? Can PayPal for your troubles.

I’ve actually found the relevant rule after re-reading the rules, but couldn’t find it earlier. Thanks guys.

@Playing-Kid Maybe one for True Neutrals, and one that’s split between Pro-Allied Neutrals and Pro-Axis Neutrals (Like the USA/France box from Europe).

That’s pretty cool! Is there a printable version? And what about Mongolia and the Axis Neutrals?
