Global War 1939
-
We are finishing up modifying the Global War 1939 map.
No sea zones or territories will change that affect game play, we are only enlarging Europe, Japan and some territories that are too small. We should have it ready in a couple weeks so when you purchase it on the HBG site, it will be the modified map.
We will also be going through the rules and making them standalone as a all inclusive rules set. We will continue to support, enhance and keep this great game going. It is still the best map out there!
-
Cool!
-
Oh cool that I just read this now
I was planning on buying the map today or tommorow, well better wait some more :))

When is the release date?Ā Can you outline some of the major changes?
Thanks

No changes to borders, zones, etc
Better written Rules.

Is the game playable with a map 72"x33" so it can insert into my global table, or must it be bigger than that?
-
I know that you are revising the map, so Iād like to ask: Can you put ROME closer to itās real location? (withouth changing the game mechanics)
Rome should be in the middle of Italy, youāve put it where Venice is located.
Thanks!

The smaller size will be 34" X 72" so you may need to trim a little off the top and bottom for proper fit into your table. I have the small version of the original and I thought it was fine. But the revised is blowing up the smaller areas so that the small size map is less crowded. I would say the small revised will be easily playable. The bigger size will be epically cool for those that have the room for it.

Thanks, who is designing the revised map?
-
Tigerman of course! Heās just enlarging Europe and Japan. Everything else will be the same. Check it out on Facebook. Coach has been posting pics of the progress.
Edit: Also, if you do a Facebook search for āGlobal War 1939ā, it has its own page that I built for it. The map is displayed there as the main pic.

Are the rules only available on BGG, or are they here somewhere as well?
-
Use BGG since any updates will go there too. The new map will not require new rules, but I am in the process of revising the rules to be a āstand aloneā set so you donāt need to read the G40 rules. There will likely be a few minor changes over the last set, but nothing major. It will be posted to BGG for download after it has been reviewed and approved by Tigerman and Coach.
-
Do you guys sell a printed fullsize map?
Iāve seen the whole piece package available.
What Iām getting at here is I want to spendĀ the $500 or whatever, to order the map AND all the accessory pieces for it.Ā Will a kit like that be available?Ā Or will I have to take the .pdf to a printer myself?

HBG prints the map for you on some very nice vinyl. No paper. This stuff is much better. Here is the link to the map:

The Revised version should be out around Monday and can be ordered in two sizes. I have the smaller $60 one that works well at 34" X 72", especially in the revised version it will be good. For the ultimate GW39 experience, shell out for the epic 47" X 96" version at $100. If you have the room to play this, you will never put it away. Rules will need to be printed along with setup charts etc on your own. Files are all on BGG here:
http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/113337/global-war-1939
Finally, to get all the pieces you need for the game, you must own Europe and Pacific 1940. In addition, here is the link for the special GW39 set to buy from HBG that will cover the rest:
http://www.historicalboardgaming.com/Painted-PiecesāGlobal-War-1939-Lot_p_726.html
Included there is a listing of everything in the kit. Buying it this way saves a bunch of money over buying the individual pieces. I will include a pic below. Hope that answers all your questions!

If I buy the revised map, will it be compatible with Jeremyās d6 variant?
I just bought an Italy set from FMG, and am waiting for the German set. do I need some from HBG above what I got or can get from FMG, in order to play the game now?
