Global War 36 map giveaway

I am gauging local interest in playing Historical Board Gaming’s “Global War 1936 v3” WWII game over several Saturdays as the game can take multiple 4-6 hour sessions at my house in Chandler once the Corona threat has passed. I have a dedicated Game Room in my house, so leaving it in progress is not an issue.
I have everything needed to play, except a few more players…
Any experience level or familiarity (or lack of) is fine. I will happily teach anyone the game as needed.
My house is smoke-free. I have an overly friendly Yellow Lab and 2 Cats in case allergies may be a concern.

Thanks again GHG! I know the difference between a territory and a minor nation 🙂

I must have misread that rule somewhere to read territory when that wasn’t the case!

And again, I definitely overlooked the word Attacked in the reference sheets!

@GeneralHandGrenade Thanks for the info, GHG! Much appreciated as always!

@GuamSolo said in How is the balance in Global War 1936 Version 3:

When Germany takes Moscow in 2 rounds you just needed more units over all.

To prevent such a scenario, you also may want to consider, building a fortification in Moscow. Most likely that in order to take Moscow in 2 rounds Germany has to use their double impulse and/or Blitz into Moscow. Building a fort prevents blitzes and might give you enough time to rally your defenses ( and provide a good defence as well).

Hey everyone, on You Tube I go by the alias “Admiral Sea Bass.”

I just started a new Global War 36 series on my YT channel. First video is up:

I will be covering the expansions and optional rules I will be using, then strategy for each major power, then a solitaire play through.

Oh - and I will be giving away a 3x6 map. 🙂

Come join the fun!

You’re welcome.
In some ways GW-14 is the next evolution of V-3 as far as development. Almost all of the game mechanics are transferred from one game to another. As we are play testing and developing it we are constantly referring to the rulebook for 36 for how to resolve situations/rules in the game and then copy and pasting them into the 14 rulebook. It is a different game for a different time period though so much of it is new. I wouldn’t be surprised if more of the concepts in it are transferred to the next edition of 36 and/or some of the expansions. I’ve been looking at these rules for quite a while now and I didn’t realize that it wasn’t in any of the other rulesets until this.

@GeneralHandGrenade thanks guys I am a big fan ghg love your vids.

I wouldn’t call myself any kind of official on the rules, first off.

Yeah, this is a bit different than the other nations. I would say first off that this is one of the bigger differences between versions 2 and 3. I believe the game makers went out intentionally with the idea of making conflict between the Comintern and Allies a more realistic possibility. Example, in Version 2, the Allies and Comintern couldn’t declare war on each other until the Axis had been defeated (though I think there’s a little loophole in the Monroe Doctrine there). Same with China, the KMT or CCP would not have been allowed to declare war on the Comintern or Allies, respectively, until all foreign powers were expelled from mainland China.

The Version 3 rules open this up for conflict earlier on, so I think this was absolutely intentional on their end.

Of note, in order for the KMT or CCP to get Major Power status, they need to effectively have control of all of China. They need 13 IPP, I think there are only like 16 IPP possible in all of China. So while not necessarily needing FULL control of all China, that IPP threshold probably effectively means they’ve won the Chinese Civil War, and arguably have expelled Japanese power on the mainland for that to have happened also.

That’s my long way of saying that their ability to declare war is probably not as easy as it reads on the surface. Plus, I think the KMT would have a hard time deciding to declare war on the USSR unilaterally until the other Allied nations were available to assist!
