I just re-uploaded it, correcting a few mistypes.

EDIT: My sincere apologies to the gentleman in Ohio who had to download it 3 times :/

I just wanted to say that I printed out a very large map size at 2440mm x 1118mm ( roughly 8 foot x 4 foot) on a digital printed transparency with a matt laminate and it has turned out fantastic. The quality was amazing. I searched everywhere to see if it could upscale and could not find the answers. Hopefully this will help someone who is thinking of doing the same.
I have built a custom table with magnets sunken into the table to hold the map in place. I wanted to use the table to play other games so the map had to roll up.
I also wanted to use the table for Global War 1936 and the magnets work well

Re: [Painted pieces](Expansion rules)

Hi,

Thanks for all comments.

We started painting the game pieces simply to get a better overview during the intense battles that take place - especially when playing G40.

Our aircraft carriers are mounted with a magnetic tape on the flight deck, as are all fighter and fighter bomber units at the center of the undercarriage.

All panzer units, armored units, trucks (scale 1:285) and some fighters and bombers (scale 1:600) are made of pewter. This makes the casting extremly detailed.

Some infantry units such as the Waffen-SS Obersturmbanführer unit and
Waffen-SS Fallschirmjäger unit are from various producers (scale 1:72).

We have our next A&A Global 1940 Tournament in mid April 2020 - lasting for three days. This is the last tournament in the season October 2019 - April 2020. Next season starts up in October 2020.

We are inspired by the Live TV streaming that some of you use. If possible we will try to copy this procedure.

Otherwise we will take pictures of each round. This should give an impression of how to use the Expansion rules - especially the major battles that include the use of entire panzer armies, Soviet Army Corps, Waffen-SS Armies, paratroopers and other hard hitting elite units.

We can recommend that you try to use the Expansion rules - step by step.

We will of course answer any questions concerning rules, use of units and eventually over all strategies.

The famous battles and plans of WWII are great fun to re-construct - as are the options to change the course of History.

Excample with G40:
During our last tournament the Germans had planned Operation Typhoon. As the German units on The Eastern Front fought their way through the heavily defended Soviet positions, the way to Moscow was marked by scorched earth tactics as the Soviets destroyed their factories in Leningrad and Ukraine.
In round Early 1943 the German Frontline units were dug in outside Moscow - leaving the Russians no chance of pushing back the enemy.
Moscow was heavily defended with elite Guard infantry units, Soviet Army Corps and two complete Tank Armies.
The Germans launched a few minor offensives in the area to try and encircle Moscow - but the Russians managed to keep a corridor open to the east so the retreating Soviet forces from Siberia could enter and reinforce the defence of the Soviet Capital.

It was impressive to watch the entire Eastern Front with all the Waffen-SS units, Panzer Armies and Wehrmacht units opposing the massive and stubborn Soviet defences.

All I can say is: try it !

I just made my own bootleg Italians with Krylon “Classic Grey-” this was a $4 Walmart special.

Between my copies of AAR, AA42, AA41, and AA42.2, I was able to scrounge up more than enough ugly/unique sculpts to give those backward stepchildren of the Axis their own tantalizingly un-purchasable and 1942.2-ready complement of 3 BB (Axis BBs from 41), 5 CA (cut the masts off some small UK/RU BBs from AAR _, 6 TR (axis TR from 41), 8 art (japan AAR) and 4 Bmr (axis '41 bmrs). The rest of the forces are donated with love from AAR Germany, including the 88’s that finally get to serve their intended AAA purposes in the Italian army.

Pictures when I can._

Just had your G40 deck from ArtsCow delivered to Wales. They look great and will be very useful for our group as we’ve only played G40 once before and AA50 a handful of times. Thanks for making them available 😊

I did have one question, what are the numbered naval cards for? I’m assuming it’s either something to do with damage to capital ships or for easier tracking of big fleets but I could be wrong on both counts!

Cheers

I have made alterations, mostly to territory values along with adding a few new territories, to the Global 40 game to more accurately (as I believe) reflect the relative values of the given territories of the game map. Here is a list of my changes and/or additions;
United States (value 47)…… East US 20, Central US 12, West US 10, Alaska 2, Hawaii 1 & Philippines 2
Canada (value 11) … NB & NS 1, Quebec 3, Ontario 3, A-S-M 2, British Columbia 2 & NWT (new territory north of A-S-M) 0.
ANZAC (value 6) … New Zealand 2, Queensland 1, New South Wales 2 & Victoria 1 (S. Aus, W. Aus & NT all now 0).
United Kingdom Europe (value 19) … Scotland 3, United Kingdom 6, Nigeria 1, Belgian Congo 1, Union of South Africa 2, Rhodesia 1, Tanganyika 1, Kenya 1, Anglo-Egyptian Sudan 1, Egypt 2 & Gold Coast, SW Africa & Trans-Jordan now 0.
France (value 19) … France 6, Normandy 2, South France 2, Algeria 1, Tunisia 1, Fr W Africa 1, Fr Cen Africa 1, Fr Equa Africa 1, Madagascar 1, Syria 1 & Fr Indo-china 2 (Morocco now 0).
Japan (value 26) … Japan 8, Okinawa 1, Iwo Jima 1, Korea 3, Formosa 1, Manchuria 3, Jehol 1, Shantung 2, Kiangsu 3, Kiangsi 1, Kwangsi 1 & Siam 1.
Germany (value 30) … Norway 1, Denmark 2, Hol-Bel 3, West Germany 9, G South Ger 3, Germany 5, Poland 3, Slo-Hun 2 & Romania 2.
United Kingdom (Pacific) (value 19) … West India 3, South India 1 (new)* , India 6, Burma 1, Malaya 3, Borneo 2 & Kwangtung(HK) 3 & Shan State now 0.
Italy (value 10) … North Italy 5, South Italy 3, Libya 1 & Ethiopia 1 (Albania now 0).
Dutch East Indies (value 7) … Java 4, Sumatra 2, Celebes 1 , Dutch New Guinea & Moluccas - a new territory, both 0.
Soviet Union (value 37) … Russia 6, Ukraine 3, West Ukraine 3, Novgorod 3, Baltic States 2, East Poland 2, Belarus 2, Rostov 2, Volgograd 2, Caucasus 2, Smolensk 1, Bryansk 1, Vologda 1, Samara 1, Tambov 1, Kazachstan 1, Novosibirsk 1, Yenisey 1, Yakut 1 & Amur 1. All other territories are now 0.
Neutral States (value 39) … Mexico 1, SE Mexico 2, Central America 1, West Indies 1, Venezuela 2, Columbia 1 (new), Peru 1 (new), Chile 2, Argentina 2, Brazil 3, Finland 1, Sweden 3, Eire 1 (new), Spain 2, Portugal 1, Angola 1, Mozambique 1, Saudi Arabia 1, Iraq 2, Turkey 3, Greece 2, Bulgaria 1, Yugoslavia 2 & Persia 2.
Maybe someone else will alter their game boards to these values. They are more accurate (relatively speaking) than what is presented by the game developers.

Following up:

I went out and bought a can of chrome spray-paint from a Blick arts-and-crafts store, and did a few tests on some B-17’s…

I’ll post pictures if anyone wants to see them. It looks great. Nice, even coating… very lustrous. With some added details I think my late-war aircraft are going to look amazing.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
