@sophiedog2:

Do you have any idea when the FMG Italy pieces will be back in stock?

FMG has them in stock, you can order directly from them.

For those of you from Europe: HBG EU is selling the Invasion of Italy map for only 25€ (only 5 in stock).

I could also imagine supply as a resource that would determine how many stacks of lets say… 10+ units a country can support. A bit like in the Game of Thrones boardgame.

Niiice!  :-D

And finally the whole bunch  :-D

And here’s the sub!

@Variable:

One question I do have: When a new rules revision is released, what is the best method for showing what has been changed? Summary page? Different color text in the .pdf? Any suggestions on this would be nice.

I prefer a different text color in the PDF. Was a pain in the ass for me to go through the whole pdf of your last revision again.
And additionally you have to remember, that not everyone might read a thread on these forums and will just download the new pdf.

Coach,

may we see some pics of the coloured pieces, pleeease?  :-)

Yeah it is just something you have to consider in positioning your carriers prior to an attack.

Can you give us a short summary of the changes? Or are they just very small?
Btw will you add additional optional units in the near future, like self propelled artillery?
Edit:
And will there be a setup in the future which features early units, which will be upgraded to better units in the course of the game? That would be awesome  :-D

Hi guys,

my gaming group had a game of Global 1939 yesterday (but the point also touches Global 1940) and the Japanese player complained about the fact, that transport ships in combination with a naval base could reach an island that is 3 movements away and could then unload their troops to initiate a amphibious assault.
While aircraft carrier fighters in the same seazone as the transports can’t be part of the land combat on said island because they only got 4 movements and can’t reenter the seazone to land on the aircraft carrier that can reach the seazone around the island.

So we suggested to let the fighters move with the aircraft carrier, but we figured out that this would give the fighters an advantage of 2 to 3 movement when flying to another location than the aircraft carrier they started on.

So we finally decided to let aircraft carriers give fighters/tactical bombers a +1 bonus movement like an airbase.
What do you think about this? Would you make the aircraft carriers more expensive or makes this the planes to powerful?

@St3vYb0y:

New pics of the final pieces can be seen at HBG. Unfortunately the PzIV was replaced by a light carrier.
Anyways looking forward to these pieces, good work HBG.

We are trying to get as many different new pieces for house rules to the game. Since we have already have a Pz III in the Axis Minor set done in all Axis colors we wanted to wait until the next Axis Minor set. Next Axis Minor set done in Black also WILL have the Pz IV, He-51, a heavy tank, Medium Bomber, SS, DD, AP, etc, look for it in 2013.

Yes I think you are right on this. But you know it’s like Pokemon, you gotta catch 'em all  :-D

@cminke:

in pic #2 it is not however…soo…i say maybe that one is moveable

Nope, the T-34 is the third one from the left in that pic.

@Lozmoid:

Very nice! Especially the vehicles. I take it the tank turrets don’t move? I don’t about the rest of you but the infatry’s helmet looks slightly the wrong shape to me. Could just be my eyes though.

At least the turret of the T-34 is in the wrong position, so I guess they will be movable or the finished product will have it in the correct position.

Couldn’t you also sell the electronic files (also for Global War 1939) as you do for other custom maps? Or are you afraid that those files are shared?

@Axistiger13:

Albania is italian, they occupied the country back in april 1939

Ah ok, then I’ve misread something

I think you should add more infs to the new neutral countries like Norway, Denmark and Albania, while Norway and Denmark should be Pro-allied neutrals. The state of Albania could be either pro-allied or pro-axis as Italy had a great impact on Albania in the years before the war. But it should be decided in terms of gameplay, as a pro-axis state would give additional units to Italy.
According to Wikipedia the territories of Vyborg, Baltic States and Bessarabia were not part of the Soviet Union when the war started in September 1939 and should be give to their previous owners, while Baltic States would be pro-allied as they were threatened by Germany and the Soviet Union.
But the territories couldn’t be taken by the SU until at war so you would give the SU the permission to take these territories before going to war with Germany.

Hey Tall Paul,

I think I found Brandon on Facebook, just search for Brandon Scott Castle and you will find him. Maybe he will answer you there.
