• Over at the Harris game design site they have given us word on the final setup for Global 1940.  Here is a map you can use.

    I don’t think there are any mistakes on it, but I am prone to making mistakes so please check it carefully.

    I just checked the alpha+3 thread at HGD and I didn’t see any additional changes, is their a link you could provide?


  • I’m with Young Grasshopper please provide us with a link!


  • See the thread called “sea lion in alpha 3”, page 86 (that was a lot of discussion):

    Thanks Vance.

    I guess the idea to swap the 106 UK destroyer with a cruiser didn’t pass.


  • why they change some french units in paris to uk ones?

    Incredible,
    +2=pro allies
    +3=pro allies
    +3.5=pro axis
    +3.9=pro allies

    No experienced player will ever lose England again, and Germany’s only option seems to be a drive toward Moscow (WOW, I just experienced a flash back from 20 years ago). At first glance, it’s back to the drawing board, although I will reserve any pessimistic views until I play these changes a few times. Accualy, I’m playing Germany this Saturday, and I’m planning a G1 attack on the whole eastern front as a violent protest for killing sealion (I’m sure that’s what Larry wanted to see all along, to get Russia into the game earlier). I may be wrong, so I will try not to judge, but as soon as we all spend a half year creating new strategies to win with the axis, they might throw a monkey wrench in those efforts too.

    I always think of that line in the movie “8 men out” where the journalist says “their thinking of ruling out your spit ball, might make things a lot harder for the pitchers next year” and the white sox player replied “every year is hard for us pitchers”.

    @ghr2:

    I guess they no longer liked the idea of removing all the UK Units from French territories after alpha+3.5. Looks more colorful this way, and they keep the historians happy.


  • Move the French cruiser in 112 to 110.
    Move the UK cruiser in 112 to 111.
    Move the German cruiser and transport in 113 to 114.
    Add 1 UK mechanized infantry and 1 French infantry to United Kingdom.
    Add 1 UK infantry and 1 AA gun to Scotland.
    Change 1 French tank and 1 French artillery in France to equivalent UK units.
    Add 1 AA gun to India (total of 3 now)

    Change the Soviet “Spread of Communism” NO to “3 IPCs for each original German, Italian, or pro-Axis neutral territory that the Soviet Union controls.”

    I believe those are the finalized changes.

    *Modified to reflect an additional revision

    And add 1 AA gun to India, bringing the total to 3.  (from KH, later in the linked thread)


  • Get out those parkas boys, I hear Moscow is cold this time of year…


  • Wich version of G40 module is needed to open your file? I cannot open it…

    However, this is not confirmed yet. It needs a oficial thread in LH site. Man, how I hate DLCs for phisical boardgames  :-P


  • i cannot open it either. it only shows a white screen… :(


  • It is the alpha +3 map so you need to have the GA3.gim folder unzipped and placed in your ABattlemap directory.  you can get it here:

    By the way, I missed the pro-allies neutral flags on Eireland and Crete.


  • Here are the ammendments to Alpha +3:

    Move the French cruiser in 112 to 110.
    Move the UK cruiser in 112 to 111.
    Move the German cruiser and transport in 113 to 114.
    Add 1 UK mechanized infantry and 1 French infantry to United Kingdom.
    Add 1 UK infantry and 1 AA gun to Scotland.
    Change 1 French tank and 1 French artillery in France to equivalent UK units.

    Change the Soviet “Spread of Communism” NO to “3 IPCs for each original German, Italian, or pro-Axis neutral territory that the Soviet Union controls.”

    “I have reviewed the above changes with Larry, and they are now official as written. We’ve also added 1 AA gun to India, bringing the total there to 3.”

    So there we have it!

  • Liaison TripleA '11 '10

    YAAAAY!


  • OK, now it works. But I’m not very happy with this setup, 11 inf and a mayor IC for Berlin seems too much to me … probably gives advantage to Axis. And Germany has a minor IC at Ukranie as well  :-P

  • Official Q&A

    As this was a public playtest effort, there are two kinds of people: those who participated and those who shouldn’t complain about the results.

    Thanks to all of those who participated!
