I based off what they pretty much had at peak of war. I didn’t do the 1 piece equals so many. I just made it like Uk 6 BB and spread them out. US I had 7 BB but reduced it to 5. 4 damaged in Hawaii at start of game. If it had like real 4 light cruisers and 2 h cruisers I just made that 2 normal cruisers and 2 more normal cruisers. To eliminate the 3 diff pieces. Everything else straight up with tweaks to setup as we played the game.
Yes the eastern front setup is more like spring of 41 than dec. 41 like pac is. based on the game balance and timing to work
Out. As u see the battle of the Atlantic is at its peak too. More like dec 41 there. Only issue in most games if not all is the d day invasions. Most happen before June of 44 in all games but to get correct US wouldn’t attack Europe until turn 7 or 8 with torch happening sooner
That would be a major setup change and year of turns.
I have my own map for game too.
Global War 1939

We are finishing up modifying the Global War 1939 map.
No sea zones or territories will change that affect game play, we are only enlarging Europe, Japan and some territories that are too small. We should have it ready in a couple weeks so when you purchase it on the HBG site, it will be the modified map.
We will also be going through the rules and making them standalone as a all inclusive rules set. We will continue to support, enhance and keep this great game going. It is still the best map out there! -
Cool! :-D
-
Oh cool that I just read this now :D I was planning on buying the map today or tommorow, well better wait some more :))

When is the release date? Can you outline some of the major changes?

MOD: I suggest this be moved to new 1939 GLOBAL Forum

Is the game playable with a map 72"x33" so it can insert into my global table, or must it be bigger than that?
-
I know that you are revising the map, so I’d like to ask: Can you put ROME closer to it’s real location? (withouth changing the game mechanics)
Rome should be in the middle of Italy, you’ve put it where Venice is located.
Thanks!

The smaller size will be 34" X 72" so you may need to trim a little off the top and bottom for proper fit into your table. I have the small version of the original and I thought it was fine. But the revised is blowing up the smaller areas so that the small size map is less crowded. I would say the small revised will be easily playable. The bigger size will be epically cool for those that have the room for it.

Thanks, who is designing the revised map?

Tigerman of course! He’s just enlarging Europe and Japan. Everything else will be the same. Check it out on Facebook. Coach has been posting pics of the progress.
Edit: Also, if you do a Facebook search for “Global War 1939”, it has its own page that I built for it. The map is displayed there as the main pic.
