How to Play Global War 1936-1945 Video Series
-
I’ve completed my 23 part video series on how to play Global War. You may find the odd mistake in there since I am a fairly new player to the game. I wanted to do the series at this point anyway because of the lack of tutorials online for those looking to get into the game. This video series therefore is presented from the perspective of someone learning the game and meant as a gateway to others who, like me, wanted to learn but felt overwhelmed by the vast scope of the game. I hope these videos are of some benefit to you and your gaming group. I encourage you to read the comments below the videos where others have pointed out any mistakes and comment yourself if you see any.

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXHm3hvGKezhht5LXhT2vIkAEbhjHAH0t&disable_polymer=trueWOW, nice work you did here GHG. :)

Nice work is right :-)

Hey GHG,
Looks great! Lots of vids since I last checked, looks awesome!
I’m from out by Grande Praire, 6 hours away, but if you ever do a multiplayer game over a weekend or something let me know and I’ll join ya.
-
Anytime you want to play just let me know, Jinx. I don’t know anyone else locally who knows the game but I’ll let you know if someone is coming to town to play. If you have anyone else there in GP to play then I’m happy to host.

Great! Almost any weekend you will have at least two players here in GP, and with a little planning I can bring about three dedicated players and possibly one or two amateur players to the table. I’d be excited to have a go, its been a while.
For venue i have a huge basement if we game over a few days, or we could play at the local board-game cafe from 3pm-12am if we can finish in a day (if we play the basic version of GW36 without expansions). I could also put you up at my place. Not as comfortable as a hotel, but nice enough.
Either way it sounds fun! -
This series is bang on! Wish something like this was around when I started to play this game.
I’ve seen them all great work! And a lot of it. -
I’ve added the Spanish Civil War to the “How To” series as well as links to the Expansion Sets in the original post of this thread.

General Hand Grenade,
I really appreciate your You Tube videos. Global War 36 can seem intimidating to those of us who don’t have the time to thoroughly research it. I barely have time for a couple of G40 games a year. It’s very helpful to learn from your mistakes and it’s refreshing to see you so upfront about those. Please keep up the fantastic work.
Rank Carcass,
Your videos also helped in my education of GW36. I look forward to more content from your channel.
I have been slowly building up to play GW36, and recently finally got a map from HBG. Both of you will be responsible for starting with a greater understanding of the game and will have saved countless hours of my time having to figure it out.
I enjoyed the “Battle in the Bush”.
Just wanted to say thanks.
