Global War 1940/41

[cannon fodder]

How about enough units to play Axis and Allies Spring 1942 with minatures?  Your pictures looked so cool, I thought I would give it a shot.

@Deaths:

you wouldn’t want to go and Buy a Whole set, most of the units will be of No use to you.

Honestly I can’t answer that……right now.  I got most of my units through trading. But I am sure I have spent close to a Grand on all my Axis and Allies stuff put together(Mini’s, Board games, and the Map)

considering War at Sea box cost $15 for 1 rare, 1 uncommon, and 3 commons And around $10 a box for the land Minis, !r, 2x UC  and 5-6 commmons.  You want version 1 vehicles though. Version 2 they are bigger, BUT WILL be easier to collect I think

Thanks, I will check ebay first.  What is the difference between version 1 and version 2?  Sorry I play Axis and Allies boardgames but not the Minatures.

I would buy “Panzerschiffe” 1/2400 which are smaller than AA Min’s but larger than AAA from the box.
You can get destroyer for $1.50 , cruisers for $3.00 and BB for $5.00
Then paint them what you want.
This is the way I am going.

Those look Nice  And would most likely be cheaper in the long run

I had a friend get out of playing because of work issues, and I was able to use those pieces as trade fodder to get the amount of each piece a i needed from each country

as an example I have 12 PzIV Ausf G’s which is the german tank you see, Now aquire the same # of tanks for each country depends on the country.  Some are uncommon and some are rares. Japan was the hardest to collect btw.

I am working on the Axis Minors, Toldi tanks, T-26, PZ-38t
I have Dutch ships, Candadian, Australian, as well as France.
It is growing! I am also adding Light tanks to each country so that i will have them as the game progresses.

Thanks for the information, I suck at painting and even if the minitures cost more I think it evens out on time spent on painting or paying someone else to paint it for me.

I can paint, but do not have the time, I will have to pay!  :cry:

[cannon fodder]

Who do you get to paint your pieces?  Is there a service?  Also how much does it cost?

How about some comments on the game play?

[major_payne]

where did you get all of those units?

[NekahNet]

Gameplay was fairly smooth and balanced. USA went with a KJF strat  but Japan was still able to get to Moscow but not in great strenght. russia stalled germany for the majority of the game but if USA had went to europe germany may have fallen for good earlier. leaving japan in russia faster and stronger but alone.

the pics from the game is awesome. my buddies and are going to test the game today. are you still working on a 1939 version?
what programm did you use to create the map?
i can’t wait to play this!

Great pics!

I have played this map many times and it always sets up for a great game.  Recently, I have used the Minor Axis & Allied Powers rules to further enhance the experience.  Again, this map is perfect for this rules extension.

Hello all

I am going to try and set up another game in late Nov. or early Dec.  Hit me up if you are interested.

Where is the game going to be played?

Did anyone try the Abattlemap module I made for Axis & Allies Global War? You can use it to play anyone with a dice server.
