See attached pics of our Global '39 game over the weekend. We incorporated some of SS GEN’s 1941 game rules. They were a big hit among the group.

Thank you SS GEN for all of your work and dedication to the game!!!

Allies took the match end of T1.

Agreed and seconded.

I tend to look at '39 like this: if it doesn’t specifically say we can do something then we can’t, or we refer to the latest Axis and Allies Global rules to fill in the gaps.

EG a country cannot do something “special” like spawn infantry in territories without factories or without their capital unless explicitly outlined in the rules. Otherwise, they just get treated as any other country.

I don’t think in this case (or many others) we’ll get a rule RE print out on this issue as the focus seems to be on '36. I also vaguely recall tiger stating 7.2 is all she wrote.

These days, when tigerman makes a ruling I tend to scribble it in my rulebook.

Some pictures from our recent Global '39 game. A work in progress.

@barnee

The set-up is the same as the HBG '39 standard. I do, however, have rules for additional pieces and can post them in a couple of weeks.

@SS-GEN

You are the man.

More.

Hi barnee,

Here is a link to an Excel file with my units. Some are right from HBG others are completely made up. Feel free to edit to suit.

@Jondalar

SS is correct

5 IPC tanks are from the old ruleset.

As one who used to play Germany a lot - I miss them.

@barnee I’ll have some updated lists to post as soon as I recover the files from my laptop. It crashed and is at the shop.

@koba Ah haaaaa… found some. http://www.historicalboardgaming.com/assets/images/Cards/Event cards.pdf

Re: Event Cards - Weather Does anyone have event cards that they are using which reflect weather, tech, tactical situations etc.? I’d like to incorporate them in my Global 1939 game.

Don’t even fool around. Get the big one. I don’t play '36 but I have '39. As long as you have the room, the big map rules.

Frankly,  I’d like to see a strategy that gets Germany and or Japan into Washington and Ottawa but anyway…

I miss 5 IPC German tanks. Just sayin’ :cry:

I don’t go for W Poland anymore; I take Warsaw from Elbing (sometimes I bring a fighter to help) and then hit Yugoslavia on Germany’s 2nd impulse. I tried it out after reading about it on this forum. I’ll keep doing it until someone decides to do something with W. Poland that makes it a priority target.

IPhilliphines IC is good idea because it puts pressure on the Japanese. An aggressive Japanese player, however,  will pull a DOW and take it out. A Hawaii IC may be a more conservative, but also effective, strategy. I figure if ICs start popping up in the Pacific, that means a KJF on being thought out.
