@generalhandgrenade Thanks and I appreciate your efforts on this extremely important issue!

Here’s the Errata General Hand Grenade is discussing:

Page 16, 3.2:
Replace: “Capturing an Objective City from an opposing player scores one Victory Point for each Objective City captured.”
With “Possessing an Objective City scores one Victory Point.”

The FAQ has been updated:
Q: Can you Lend-lease Militia? Colonial Infantry?

A: Militia: Yes.
A: Colonial Infantry: No

Looks like I was correct about Colonial Infantry, but Caesar-Seriona was right about Militia.

@hbg-gw-enthusiast
Thanks for the compliments! When we were still we, we did our best to achieve that.

I don’t want to go too much off topic. But a short intro back to the topic is allowed I assume.

For the future I will work with the original designer of the first Global War map who offered it for free back in the days. We will make sure that our version updates will be available for free as well. You would then only have to print the map or change it if you wish customizations. And the rules would be written, without commercial interest. These would also be for free. Deathhead’s legacy carries on! That is an allegiance statement.

And this French units house rule solution for Allied units in surrendering friendly vessels will be in it too. 😃

So to stay on topic, I don’t have an official answer for the question, only a house rule solution. Good question! The situation did not occur to us during development. Indeed HBG should clarify.

@noob_melon No. Only Doug has knowledge on this.

@mike141500 I believe that unless it says so, there is no limit on how many a nation can field. Just like all other units, there is not an upper limit. While there may be per turn limits, there is not a per board limit.

@spartantom I would apply it, they are nations. It just makes it alot harder for them to get VPs. You basically have to become a major power.

@hbg-gw-enthusiast Yeah. 1936 is a long game to play, it takes a lot of time to roll for each ship and each colony by the rules. Vichy being light blue just helps with pacing.

They changed the rules. Ignore what is on the chart. As long as you have your original capital, you can do diplomacy. It still favors the Axis as they have more money to work with early game but it’s not like you’re screwed as the Allies or Comintern.

@insanehoshi ok 👍 thanks I kind of thought so. Was trying to bomb the railroad above Transcaucasia to protect my paratroopers from Soviet armoured trains. Dang it

@linkler to attack the Soviets in July 39 before they have an opportunity to declare war first Germany will only have one turn to purchase tanks and mechs and place them in range to get to Warsaw/Romania in Jan 39 and then to Moscow in July 39 with the lightning war. There will not be enough units to capture Moscow with that. Germany doesn’t have enough production slots available to put enough down in that first purchase. - remember that the first turn
You are able to purchase blitzing medium tanks is July 38.

Also: you are going to attempt to sign the Molotov pact with the Soviets to buy you that time needed to build up your tanks and mechs (and position them in Warsaw/Romania)

@trig said in 2.1 Variable End and CCP Possession of Nanking:

The KMT is not a major power. Case closed.

Unless it evolves. Then yes.

Definitive! How did I miss that? Thank you, Trig! 8 )

@board-3659 I wish i had that file. I would be making changes however

@trig thanks !

@insanehoshi “Option 1: Have a deck of cards that you draw a certain number and resolve before the game begins. Lots of options to represent historical and alt-historical events. Ex: “Trotsky Takes Power” - you now play as, instead of the ‘Communism in One Country’ Stalin, you play as the ‘Worldwide Revolution’ Trotsky.”

I would like to also include harry turtledoves world war series as an alt-history event though it might be too sci-fi

@trig said in Soviet mobilization of the reserve clarification:

So yes. Go send cheep units to your allies.

Did you mean sheep units ?

Can’t wait for the HBG sculpts for these !

I add that according to the FAQ, Panzergrenadiers are vehicle class :

Q: Are German SS Panzergrenadiers Infantry Class units?
A: No. (they are Vehicle class, like regular Mech. Infantry)

Since, they definitely only become available after a tech improvement, Rule 7.8 applies.

All relevant rules refer to intercepting or scrambling Fighters (including Jet Fighters). The defender cannot send bombers to intercept.

I think it would be up to the building player what gauge they decide to build with.

@theveteran
That would be great, if we knew what they were.
