What size map should I buy for GW1936?

  • '17

    There are many more territories than in AnA global 1940. If you go with the large map these landzones are roughly the same size as G40, even though there are more of them. I have not used the smaller map but I still wish some areas were larger on the big map. Especially when Russia and Germany are going at each other , or Japan is working it’s way through China. The 4x8 foot map is the way to go if you have the space for it, table will be a foot wider and 2 feet longer…

    Beating a dead horse here, but yes, go with the bigger one if you can.

    Yes, it’s very big. I find it hard to find somewhere to set it up! But as others have said, some boards on top of a table work just fine. I hope to one day have a table dedicated to this map, but that’s not now :)

    My main reason for saying the larger map is because it’ll make your games look cleaner. There are so many units and buildings, it can certainly become cluttered, as I think we all know with AA40 in Western Europe. You’ll be happy with the extra space I’m sure. Even if it isn’t strictly “needed”, it’ll still help your games out.

    Also, my usual default is “why would I NOT get the bigger and better version?!” :)


  • Just ordered the BIG MAP.  :-D


  • Map arrived 10/19/18. 3 days from order to arrival of big map.

    Now I just have to get home to it!  :roll:

    Don’t even fool around. Get the big one. I don’t play '36 but I have '39. As long as you have the room, the big map rules.


  • Opened my package!  :-D
    The charts with the game are thicker than I expected. Real nice quality. The map is huge with nice detail. I have no regrets.
    My wife asked, “Where are you going to put that?”  :? “Don’t worry. I’ll figure out where.”  :lol:

    Any idea when in 2019 one can one expect the new version of the map from HBG with the air/naval bases printed on the map?

    HBG’s post on Facebook said it was summer 2019. It seems like all of the game manufacturers are overly optimistic about game release dates though. Hopefully this one is accurate.

    Maybe! Hopefully?  :roll: I know HBG posted their video talking about printing starting setup bases on the map, but as you can see they are definitively not shipping them yet.
