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.
Comparison betw AAG40 and AA50?

about 180 land zones (about) and 125 sea zones……global. Not sure about anniversary
-
Anniversary has 65 seazones and about… 80 landzones
… so Global is more or less double the anniversary

movement is the same which means the games take twice as long. :mrgreen:

But AAG40 has Naval bases which increase movement to 3 (so the game only takes 1.5 times as long at sea :-D)
-
And thankfully prevents Japanese ships from going into the Med or Atlantic

One is a really fun and exciting game! So is the other!
Just depends on how much time you have on your hands….
If you are a young man, with no wife, children, job, school, desire to eat or sleep, than AAG40 is for you! You can play this as an older chap also…just make sure to make arrangements to have a table set-up at your funeral so that your comrades can finish the game! (your kids can roll for you…) -
ROTFL!
