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.

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

In my opinion: The spirit of that event is to decrease Britain’s and France’s Peacetime income, delaying their entry into the war. If they are already at war I don’t think the SCW would “decrease democracies’ appetite for war.” If it were me I would leave the UK and French income alone, and decrease the US income by 1. Hope this helps.

@hammertimepower 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!

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

@Wildcat6305 Thank you for confirming! I was 99% sure. This is my brothers first time playing, so he’s had his own opinions on what some of the rules mean, so I’ve had to explain a lot. Yeah, that’s why I wanted to specify that Yugoslavia and Greece had also been attacked. He starts the game at war with Abyssinia, and Albania isn’t technically an attack, so I knew those didn’t count.

I’m in the same boat, SS Gen. Would like to see when V3 comes out and decide then, but I’m sure I’d be willing to part with it at that point. Again, if that’s not too long a wait.

Yeah you should only Lend Lease if you have the dominate influence against Turkey.
