Global War -1936-1939-1942


  • This looks and sounds amazing. :-o

    Very exciting!  Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

  • Looking great!


  • This looks very absolutely awesome! Are there any plans to release an initial PDF file of the map and word document of the rules on the HBG site, as was done with the 1939 map before the revised map version was released?

    There will be NO release of the PDF of our maps.


  • Ahh roger that coachofmany, can’t wait for the release then! I am loving the Risk piece cavalry units, a really great idea.


  • I’m very excited about the updated rules, but I’m not fond of the new map. In the closeup of the South America pic the text around the coasts and the graphics inside the territories are very busy and distracting. My group prefers a cleaner look. The extra graphics are interesting to look at, once, then they get our way during play. Just constructive criticism. :)


  • I’m really looking forward to this map. The increased detail will add a whole new level of strategic depth in my opinion. I’m picturing columns of panzer edging ever closer to the Volga River. It certainly expands the possibilities for house rules. Combined with the accurate geography and political boundaries of 1936, this will be very impressive!


  • Is this project still in the works?  I’m very excited about it.

    It is. Working on 3 setups and many new features. Look for it in the fall of 2014


  • Any chance you might go with a hex sea zone scheme?

    ––I, too, would prefer a map w/o the pretty but distracting artwork such as the B-17 in the Pacific on your 1939 map (which is otherwise excellent). However, I DO like the “waves” on all of the coastlines.
    ––I’m guessing here, but I’d imagine that this map will allow longer games including the Evolution of the game Units, like from Pre-war Battleship, to Battleship, to Heavy Battleship. Is this correct? If so, this game varient will undoubtably have the largest impact on A&A gaming yet!
    ––I’m certainly going to be anxiously awaiting it’s release and will be watching for all of the updates.

    Three cheers for the HBG gang (again)

    How big will the map be? Will it be the same size as the current revised 1939 map?

    Thanks,

    That’s cool! Thanks for the quick reply.

  • Really like this 1936 variant from what I have seen so far :-)

    Maybe now I don’t have to play like 80 hours of WorldInFlames to get a complete, satisfying WW2-feel.
    Great game though very long playing time  :cry:.

    Units taking time to produce very nice  :-D. BBs/CVs taking like 2 years in reality, but at reduced IPC cost compared to current cost, ofc.
    Speaking of IPCs, I missed the IPC values on the maps?! Guess that’s just a ‘test-feature’ ;-).

    Hopes up for a slightly more sophisticated combat system (with less dice rolled?) that is more forgiving and softening up (very) bad/good rolling.

    ItsLeClerc & Others,

    ––HBG already has the 2-D and 3-D versions of it’s “Floating Drydock” markers made and in stock. You could even include them in your Global-1940 games as a house rule if you wanted. I had wanted this (and other) enhancements in my A&A games for several years. I guess that we are ALL lucky that the “Coach” at HBG seems to be as addicted to this game as we are, and is a good businessman, too.

  • I don’t like reviving old topics, but I figured I could for this one…  I know that this question’s been asked already, but I’m just wondering what the status of this project is.  It looks extremely promising.  I think I’m speaking for other people too.  Are we still looking at this fall to know what it’s all about and see it on sale?

    Also, does the development of the 7.0 version of the GW39 rules have any correlation to this version?

    I hope to hear from you soon.  Thanks.


  • will the 36 game be compatible with the global expansions, and will there be two types of currencies


  • Just bumping this because I think it would be great to see this project come to fruition.
