Hi ANZAC. For the HBG 1939 map, think of a 4x8 sheet of plywood. Its is HUGE and awesome. You need a big room for that size table plus room to walk around on all 4 sides. I only played the 1939 game one time and I can say it is definitely superior in a hundred different ways, but playing it is an order of magnitude more complex than global 1940. Global 1940 seems like the kiddie game next to it, which is nuts because global 1940 is not an easy game by any means. I’d say your best bet is to get the global 1940 if only for the pieces, and then blow the extra money for the 1939 map and elite pieces if and when you and your crew outgrow it. Another option is to play 1940 on this site with triplea.
Family portrait for a truly global game

This includes some of coachofmany’s roundels and stuff.
Still need some units to represent the various Spain factions (nationalist vs republican) and the plucky Poles of course :-D

Nice collection!

I am going to use yellow Germans for Spain.
I painted me some German pieces red for turkey.
I have some white pieces painted from Russian pieces for Poland.
What do you think about a plum color for Spain?
Looks great!!! -
That’s awesome. You should consider setting up a grand global package. I would seriously consider buying it.

Looks great!!!I’m thinking Republican Spain should be purple, best to use British I think, despite that the Soviets gave them more aid. Francoist Spain can be Germans or Italians if you’ve run out of Germans to represent Finns, Romanians etc… For color probably some yellowish, maybe use the current Romanian color and make Romania some dark blue or something. Will have to be considered.

Don’t use yellow German infantry for Spain because you already have yellow for Romania. Try yellow Italian infantry instead.

Good idea!

Hey theres Uncle Joe! Nice pic we do need a global pack.

where did you get the national counter for the countries that are not in the games?
-
Probablly historical board gamign or field marshal games. Look up Field Marshal or Tigerman’s profiles.
