2 of us play Global 40 with a fair number of optional rules. We play up in the Flower Mound area.
If you are interested in joining us, or coming to see what kinds of optional rules we use, reach out to me.

@Cary1234 Hi, we have a group up in Flower Mound playing Global 40. Lots of extra units, event and action cards and optional rules. Very laid back and informal. Game has its own room so stays set perpetually. Usually takes us 2 or 3 gatherings to complete a game, but we just stop when the first person has to leave and rejoin when we can all get back together. Game just sits until then.
Let me know if you’re interested

Yes I’m interested. I’m close to Flower Mound so that’s cool. I also have some other guys if you need more players. Is there some rules u can send me or info, event cards, special unit rules. I will read all of it and get ready etc. when’s the next game? Do u need more than one player? It’s ok if you don’t. Let me know. I’ve never played Global 40. But looking forward to it

Hi Cary,
The ideal situation would be to have 7 players. Russia, Britain (West) and France, Britain (East), Anzac, China, USA, Germany, Japan and Italy. If we have 5 then 3 allied and 2 axis. When we play with 3, 2 are allied and one is Axis.But, we are really adamant that all players are laid back and more interested in having fun than winning. We all try to win, but when it gets heated, we take a step back and drop a die to decide. Everyone has to be willing to accept the decision of either the die or an arbitration of the rule. Some will go a person’s way, some will not…
We really cannot have anger, knocking things about, throwing dice or being aggressive. Most of the pieces are hand painted (I’m consistently adding to the mass) and we really want to have fun.We don’t require that everyone show up to each gathering, but those who don’t show, need to understand that their faction(s) will be played by others in their absence.
So I will defer to you as to how many people or which ones you think would fit well in what I describe.
If you are close to FM, perhaps you and those friends might want to come to my house on Saturday or Sunday this coming weekend and I can introduce you to new units and rules.
I am in the process of trying to capture all of the rules in a single document, but that is not complete. Because we are more interested in having fun, we give grace when mistakes are made and things are overlooked.
The new units and rules that may or may not be new to you:- R&D technologies with 19 different technologies to be researched by the various protagonists. Reseach advancement costs IPCs and a die roll to determine degrees of success.
- Oil, Oil derricks, Oil refineries. Oil generates additional IPCs each turn.
- National objectives bonuses. There are multiple objectives per protagonist and achieving these generate additional IPCs each turn.
- Rail movement.
- Siberian Railroad
- Spies
- Mobile artillery
- Heavy artillery
9 Marines - Airborne troops
- Heavy tanks
- Tank destroyers
- Heavy Tank destroyers.
- SS and Guard Infantry
- SS and Guard Mech infantry
- SS and Guard Tanks and Heavy Tanks
- Advanced Fighters
- Jets
- Heavy Battleships
- Heavy Cruisers
- Heavy Carriers
- Entrenchments
- Fortifications, Naval forts and Atlantic wall fortifications.
- Event cards- typically used to affect a single battle, or movement, or unit build.
- Action cards- an affect that lasts the entire turn, might affect all protagonists, but generally tend to be regional.
- Advanced submarines and wolfpacks.
I’m sure I’ve forgotten some and the R&D technologies encompasses some of what I mention above and many others not mentioned.
Give me a call or text at 972, 768 4149 or write my email so that we more easily communicate.
