Global war 1939 expansion set

[Snackbar]

Do you need to buy, apart from the map, the expansion set as well in order to play global war 1939? it is quite expensive and I do not want to invest another 200 dollars before I know whether I like the game or not. Or can you manage with the 1940 standard editions and perhaps some additional 1914 units?

If you have a copy each of Europe '40 and Pacific '40, as well as a copy of 1914, you should have enough pieces to be able to pull it off.  Personally, I use the British from 1914 for Chinese Nationalist pieces, and the Turks as Chinese Communists.  You can use the 1914 Germans as Axis minors, and the French as Vichy.
