Greeting and salutations! I have recently created overlays for HBGs Global 1936 map that represent the political borders of 1861. I am aware that several years ago now HBG worked on a Global 1861 game. However as far as I can tell, HBGs Global 1861 project seems to have been shelved. Myself being a firm believer in the versatility of the Axis and Allies game mechanics have thus decided to create my own Global 1861 scenario. While further testing is still required and new political and possibly unit rules still have to be written. I am confident I can eventually create a comprehensive Global 1861 game. Although I feel I must apologize in advance if this project takes a long while as I tend to jump from project to project quite spastically, any help and or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

@General-Day Apologies for the delay (we’ve been busy with holiday activities). We are fine sending you the map and rules for the game, with the obvious proviso that we retain all copyrights to them. Please email us at pmfproductionscontact@gmail.com and we can send you the map and rules. We hope you and your friend will find them helpful and we’ll be interested in any feedback you have!

I added some ideas for territory names on the TripleA github, in order to add some “feeling” rather than every territory just being a letter and a number:

@HansMohr68 Glad I could help, i assume all that’s left is the battle board (I’m still curious how units like marine infantry work.) But, this game looks like it will be fun to play between your sons. (and other people too.)

Also, I’m sure that Pacific will be good too, judging by your skills.

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if anybody has played BBR with G40. I’m not big on “Variants” of any game. However, with G40 being way too long (thus TripleA and G42 tourny versions to play in one sitting) I was somewhat interested in this. I downloaded the rules, and wow! This is amazing! Can’t wait to play! Basically G40 with slight moderations and improved victory conditions. It looks like it’s really gaining steam with a lot of people too. HBG’s 1936 Global War and other of the like seems too complicated- like G40 on steroids. That’s NOT what I’m looking for. IMHO, BBR takes a good game in G40 (minus the long victory conditions) and high bids and makes it great. I’m interested to hear if…
