Just for into the new rules are out. It took me a little bit to find them at board game geek. I was thinking they will make a new post for them. They put them as an update under the 5.0 rule set post which is the third one down.

RE: HBG's Global War 1939 Rules 5.1 and Setup 5.0
Thank you for the new setup. Just a couple of things I just wanted to ask to make sure I am reading this right. First is Russia. You have a major IC in Karelia. I have the second gen map. On my map Karelia is 2 IPC territory which can not support a major IC. It showed the same in the 4.1 setup. I was not sure if that was going to be fixed or not. Next is UK. You have UK Commonwealth making 35 IPC. I count only 33 IPC on that side(Africa + Gib = 12 IPC, Brit Island + Lab = 11 IPC, Convoy = 10 IPC). I know on the old map the convoy off of Madagascar went to the UK Commonwealth side, but on the new map it goes to India which is now showing 23 IPC(use to be 21 IPC) which is correct. Is my map wrong or am I missing something somewhere?

RE: HBG's Global War 1939 FAQ
Thank you for getting back to me. I was just not sure about this rule. Now you say it is pretty much is how it reads. On one hand I think subs seem to be a little over powered in the sense 1 lone sub could very attack a carrier which is being protected by say 1 or 2 battleships and 1 or 2 cruisers. Since there is no destroyers in the battle all ships would be removed without even getting a shot back since none of these ships can hit an undetected sub. On the other hand in a large sea battle this would keep a player from using undetected subs to soak up hits from ships which can not hit an undetected sub.

RE: HBG's Global War 1939 FAQ
I just want to make sure I am reading the rules right. I have the 2nd gen map and a copy of the 5.0 rules. Page 32/33 regarding subs. I understand the destroyer/sub detection. What throws me a little is page 33 the first line second paragraph which states “Undetected subs can only be fired upon by enemy submarines”. In reading into this if a sub were to attack/defend against a battleship/cruiser the battleship/cruiser is removed from the board like an unescorted transport since the battleship/cruiser can not fire back/hit the sub.
