RE: Request for mods
To clarify, I still want it to be its own section but with the A&A boardgames. Seriously, you guys are killing the buzz around your own game and you don’t even realize it.

Request for mods
Please move the Global War 1939 section up to the Axis & Allies part of the forum. It is getting lost down here and has killed the discussion.

RE: Axis & Allies 1941 First Preview
Hard to get excited bout these new sculpts. I’m so used to great quality of the HBG and FMG game pieces now that the oob pieces look cheap and amateurish.

RE: Next Nation to sculpt at HBG
If you do a UK set please include AAP40 Anzac grey for Canada and AA Revised UK Light green for Canada and maybe a new color for Far East Command.
Maybe also in forest green for Canada (AA Classic US).

RE: French Set…need help to finalize set.
For Global War 39 I use the AAE40 Blue French for France and Free French and use the Blue-Grey Germans from AA42 Revised (or was it D-Day?).
If we could get at least those two colors for HBG France I’d be very happy.

RE: COMBAT DICE UPDATE - FMG
Is there an option to order the grey German dice to add to my elite set?

RE: HBG Japan Supplement Set
Axis minor set in Japanese burnt orange would be nice. Anyone else interested in this?
-
RE: HBG Japan Supplement Set
HBG already has a lot of truck molds. Why not just do an Axis Minor, Russian, or neutral truck in Japanese colors? Then you have one more slot for paratroopers or some other Japanese specific unit.

RE: Global War 1939
The D6 setup charts are on BoardgameGeek.

From the charts you should be able to tell what pieces are required.

RE: Historical Board Gaming - New Roundels
What about the Red star for Russia. St.Georges cross for England or stars and stripes for USA. Is there any interest in these. I know we really don’t need them but some may see it as a upgrade.
The American and Soviet flag roundels are already available at HBG under HBG Custom Battle Tokens. The Union Jack (UK flag) roundels are also available but not St. George’s Cross (English flag).

RE: War of 1812 - Axis and Allies Style Game?
Not quite the same as Axis & Allies but there is “1812; Invasion of Canada”, which is a semi card driven war game. It uses wooden blocks but you could substitute these with “Viktory” game pieces or other miniatures. The game is worth checking out on its own merits, with or without miniatures.

RE: Historical Board Gaming - New Roundels
My support behind the neutrals idea.
Could you make a card with 1 each of the remaining neutrals represented on the Global 1939 map?

RE: Global War 1939
Are the rules/setup on Boardgamegeek the most recent version?

RE: 1939 Map
These pictures demonstrate the advantages of using cardboard chits for ICs and AAs. I might have to try using them next time.

RE: 1939 Map
@Uncrustable:
It is so geographically correct that it is unplayable
Very disappointing as i was really looking forward to playing this :(
Germany cannot fit period
France cannot fit
UK is tight
Japan is tight
Alot of Russia either cant fit or is super tightAlot of the territories can barely fit a single chip, and settup calls for several units :P
Reallying hoping someone releases a playable version where geography can be thrown out
You have less room in Europe in this map than you do in the spring 1942 version (this map is 4 times bigger than 42 lol)Well I wouldn’t call it unplayable as it has been play tested quite a bit by very experienced A&A players but yes Europe is crowded, especially Germany. A temporary fix is the task force marker cards available for free on the HBG website. Another fix could be modifying the setup by reducing the number of units but you would have to work at getting the right balance. On the 8x4 map, Western Europe is slightly larger than AAE40 but there are more spaces and a denser starting setup.
There will be a new map coming out soon by the same map makers which addresses the problems of overcrowded territories. Apparently Europe has been enlarged at least by 20%, Africa has been reduced, and some other nice modifications.
Coach is a very fair dealer and the consumate professional so I’m sure you could work out a deal with him once the new map comes out if you are unhappy with the old one (possible an exchange).

RE: 1939 Map
@Uncrustable:
@Dispatch:
I just purchased this map and hope to be recieving it soon. I was more than a little worried when I saw the Uncrustable post that it is unplayable because of the coin that I dropped on it. Luckily, I splurged for the 47" x 96" big map so I should have plenty of “lebensraum” for my hordes of plastic army men. I will give a full review once I play through my first complete campaign.
i should have gotten the bigger one for sure, let me know how the setup fits into the European territory’s
The 1939 map is gorgeous but…
I’m about 1 1/2 hours into my first setup on the big map. So far I have the Neutrals, ProAxis, ProAllies, and Germans on the map. Neutrals and Pros fit fine without having to chip up. Germany is bursting at the seams even with chip stacking anywhere possible. There literally isn’t enough room for the beginning setup and I haven’t even put in fortresses yet. Wondering if this was intentional in order to whip the German player up into an expansionist ferver. :?
