Oh…
I’ve been playing wrong this entire time???
:disappointed:
Thanks for clarifying though. I’ll take that into my next physical game.
Global/Europe/Pacific 1939 for 1940 2nd Editon
-
We have our own custom strict neutral rules that are generic for Global that I did not include with 1939 to keep this alternate setup open to everybody. We usually play with each neutral essentially being its own power that can be activated if attacked. We give them all unit types and connect colonies to mother country.

Cool. When you get a chance would you post your neutral setup as well please

In the opening strategy post you say Paris has a minor ic but the setup shows a major ic. Which is it?

Actually that has been out for a while. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=38615.msg%msg_id%

Nice catch. It is suppossed to be minor. (Note that I swapped Italy’s major and minor on purpose). I forgot to change the Paris factory from the 1940 setup. I will fix the error.

The Global and Pacific setups have been given the final sign off by my team and are available for play!

Can the Russian fleet move to SZ99? Can other nations’ ships move into 100?
Any Vichy rules/options/rolling of dice to determine outcome?
Thanks…have it set up and ready to play.
-
Hi sjelso. You have asked in HR. Did you mean to?
No ships can move in or out of the Black Sea, whilst Turkey is Neutral. -
Hi….yes, because this setup puts a few Russian ships in 100 so just checking the strait is still closed in this 1939 v3 setup.
Vichy rules might also be fun/good.
Cheers…SJ
-
The Turkish Straits are off limits unless you own Turkey. Sea units in the Black Sea are stranded there.
Vichy rules are not included in this 1939 setup, bit Vichy would get all its historical territories (all French territories but France, Normandy, Equatorial Africa, and New Herbrides).
If you have any more questions feel free to ask or consult the ruleset. These additions create many unlikely, but nevertheless possible scenarios that may require explanation but are too numerous to lay out.
-
Merci!…have your 1939 board set up. Gonna give it a try!
-
Nice Painted pieces. Wheres all the neutrals ?
-
Thanks…Oh Yeah…will have to put on the neutrals :wink:…waiting for HBG order or will use Axis/Allies/Unpainted units until then. :-D. Also need a French BB, a German AA, few other minor things.

Yes I painted my neutrals flat white from left over inf and naval from a bunch of games.

Thanks for the clarification.
A few more Qs:
- Persia, Vyorg and few other spaces are printed either Pro-Allies or Russian. In the 1939, however, they are Pro-Axis. You mention that the 1940 map sets the $ collection. So if Russia occupies Persia, Vyborg, etc, even though they are listed as Pro-Axis, Russia does not get the 3 IPC bonus for occupying Pro-Axis spaces (in war time) because they are printed on the board as Pro-Allies?
2) Under Vichy “expansion”, French Guinea goes Vichy?
TY…SJ
-
When collecting NOs treat the territories as the board represents them. Russia would not collect +3 for Baltic States or Bessarabia, or Vyborg.
Vichy would get French Guiana, but I should note that we have never tried adding Vichy yet to variant. To do so would certainly require a tweaked setup and a list of special rules. Also, since this is 1939, it feels acceptable to pretend that France will never surrender, but rather fight or retreat to Algeria etc.

I do see quite a few mistakes in your picture, but I am assuming you recognized those or even purposely made them (like the trucks in China instead of artillery.)
I have one good question though:
WHAT is that HUGE battleship sculpt doing smashed on Alaska and British Columbia?!
:? -
Hi,
So we use trucks to count for 3 inf (instead of chips) so that is why you see the trucks in China and elsewhere. There are some smaller 75 Veld artillery in China too for the art.
I have a few more units to add, mostly neutrals. If you see any other errors let me know. I will scan through the set-up again.
Oh yeah…the big BB sitting in Canada is what we use for fleet markers. That is for America (ordered from http://www.panzerschiffe.com/index.html). It isn’t in play or part of the set-up, just a holding place for it.

Basic question here. Are UK/France and Germany at war at the beginning? Poland has not been invaded yet.
Thanks!…SJ
-
Sorry for taking so long. The answer is yes.
Present wars:
UK/ANZAC/France vs. Germany
China vs. Japan -
No worries, that is how we played. Axis lost. Still cannot compete with 52 non-war and 72+ was $ for USA.
Good set-up…Thanks!
