I think if you did wish to have such a rule, the simplest way to have it work is at the beginning of any follow up combat round, any defending unit may forgo any attacks and elect to retreat; they will still suffer attacks and casualties for that final round. During non-combat they then move to an adjacent friendly territory, if there are none, they are eliminated.
This makes it so that retreating isn’t free; there has to be some downside to it.
Unlike traditional board games, GW36 doesnt come as a self contained set. It comes with just the map, and then you have to assemble the playing pieces yourself, which is recommended by cannibalizing Global40 and building the new GW36 units buy makeing further purchases from HBG, Iwillnevergrowup, shapeways etc.
Here is a link to their “top level” of global war 36: https://www.historicalboardgaming.com/Global-War-1936v3_c_1293.html
Have you looked at any youtube guides on how to build the game, they explain it better than i do.
I think the rule should be interpreted as, fighters can always scramble to their territory they are in, but need an undamaged airbase to scramble to adjacent territories.
@vondox said in Tech problems:
@aldrahill Yes, our german player was very lucky in our last game
There is lucky and there is a player getting 52/54 rolls which has a chance of 00.0000000000082% occurring.
You guys were probably doing something wrong, and if you weren’t, you shouldn’t be trying to balance it around an exceptional set of luck.
There is nothing in the rules that state you are allowed to switch to a new tech line
The part of the rulebook that says “For each tech roll, select a tech and roll…” (paraphrasing) lack of conditions regarding switching, says you are allowed to switch.
@linkler Yeah, it gives the airborne the option to avoid the fort if the transport has long enough range, which makes sense and is good for gameplay.
@hms-serapis If you are island hoping, you cant defend your fleet with aircraft.
Also I do not see how you are able to attack islands with aircraft without carriers to land on. An aircraft from Hawaii, could not reach any islands japan may take (save one)
What happens if Aircraft Scramble to an adjacent zone, and their starting zone is captured?
@panzerbaguette UK can declare war on a minor nation at any point.
While we are on the subject, the rule book state that if there is a german or italian unit in an adj. zone, iraq joins at the end of turn.
I image this is supposed to be interpreted as if there is a german/italian unit present at end of turn? Like Germany cant land a unit in a contested zone, and then say “well i have a unit adjacent, they now align”
When cant the M-R Pact be signed. Say USSR has taken romania and finland and Germany has taken all of poland. Can the pact still be signed?
@vowly said in Rule Entry for flying over neutrals:
Does this count for non combat moves of only combat moves?
Logic dictates that “Fly over” applies to combat and non-combat movement.
I think there is a statement somewhere that says “If a submarine submerges, it remains as such for the remainder of the player turn”
@timothy-gengarella Yes, an infantry unit is needed.
@timothy-gengarella said in Air Bases:
ff in a land zone that does not have a airbase but land in a territory that has a airbase do you still get the bonus movement?
Youll get the movement bonus next turn.
You dont get extra movement to reach a base.

@kmtnt If italy moves to the middle of the Atlantic on the second to last turn, the USA just builds some 8 tanks, some bombers and fighters, and they’ll be able to take back whatever the Italians take; The end result of this is Italy’s Atlantic venture, which probably has taken a whole game to build up, is now countered by the USA doing a big tank buy at the stage of the game where its buys do not matter (as whatever that is bought on the penultimate US turn isnt affecting the game)
Furthermore, no matter how much Italy can bring to the table, the USA can respond much better to take Italy after Italy blows their load.
