HBG's Global War 1939 FAQ

[DMcLaren]

We’re using the latest set of rules that are currently available on HBG’s site. So if the US cannot use a UK airbase and cannot build one, how is it supposed to use paratroopers?  I’m thinking we’ll use the first ed rule there and be allowed to use allies’ bases.  Anyone else wonder about that in the newest rules?

The 2nd edition rules are for the new 36 39 map.

So yes you were using the wrong rules for just the 39 1st edition map. Use 1st edition 7.2 rules.

[DMcLaren]

When we looked again at the rules we have, we noticed that paratroopers do not have to start in an air base.  That was a forehead-slapping moment. :roll:

“A nation that loses its capital loses all of its saved IPPs (even if it does not technically surrender). Some nations can set up a second capital.”

Does the capturing player get to keep the IPPs?

                        Except for Russia and UK London.

Page 16 in rules:  Russia - Money goes to bank when Moscow is captured by enemy.

Page 19 in rules:  UK - Money goes to bank when London is captured by enemy.

No, the capturing player does not get to keep the IPP. See:

(I’m guessing DMcLaren is asking about the 2nd edition of the 36/39 game, as his words are the exact words from the manual 9.20)

[General 6 Stars]

I reread his post. I see he mentioned using 1st edition rule for bases in 2nd edition 36 39 game.

Just a reminder this thread is for the 1st edition rules.

[DMcLaren]

We’re using 2nd edition, version 1.2.

Hi,
here is a question we are contemplating with HGB Axis&Allies 1939 Revised Map, 7.2 Setup

Would neutral ships and more specifically neutral coastal ships defend themselfs (and in doing so prevent a landing) if an agressor attempted a landing into a landzone of that neutral country from the sea zone where that neutral countries (coastal) ships are located?

Or do you guys consider them harbored until after the fact just up for grabs for the agressor or the opposite faction via the rolling for neutral ships.

E.g. If Germany attempted a landing in Oslo from SZ7 where norwegian ships are also located.

Thanks in advance

[General 6 Stars]

Yes the neutral ships get to defend.

Russia starts at 0. They roll 2 D12’s per turn for income. Also what ever territories Russia captures goes towards there income to.

[Ju87Stuka]

Can Communist China Units move into Russia after Russia annexed the Mongolian Landzones ?

[General 6 Stars]

Ya

[Ju87Stuka]

After invoke the vichy rule is vichy a axis member ?

[General 6 Stars]

Yes  but can’t move. Only defend and axis pieces can move into Vichy controlled territory’s.

If udssr declares war on Japan. Com. china is allowed to attack/move into japanese orignial landzones. These ipc generated by com china are move to udssr ? or the complete lost ?

Com China can attack Japan at any time. Russia and Com. China can only attack together if Russia is at war with Japan. If Com. China captures a territory Russia doesn’t receive the money. Nobody collects it. Com. China can only capture a empty Nat. China territory and that icp is not collected for anybody.
same question if com. china move into empty nat.china landzones.
