Can you add the Italian Maiale submarines and the British Long Range Desert Group LRDG to the game? I originally proposed a World War II game with Maiale submarines from the Decima MAS flotilla with my hand-drawn map of World War II, but since I found out about Doug Friend’s map, I decided to add my ideas to it. I would like to see the Special Air Service (SAS) in the game, too. I think that Italy should have the Maiale submarines and have a bonus point against any Allied surface warships in the Mediterranean. The Maiale submarines will only be allowed to operate in the Mediterranean and they will have bonus points and warships will not get to roll against them. It will sort of be like the Italian equivalent of the Japanese kamikaze tokens. The Italian player will of course be limited as to how many Maiale submarines that they will get to roll per turn. The Maiale will be any Italian submarine and the infantry aboard the submarine will attack the Allied surface warship in the Med.
I am not sure how to even make it work within the game. I was proposing a game with Maiale submarines against any ANZAC, French or British surface warships in the Mediterranean.
I also propose adding the Ariete Division for Italian elite units and the Folgore Parachute Division as Italian elite units. The Italians also had volunteers from India and the Middle East in their armies. I have a book on Italian elite units of World War II from 1940-1943.
Italy not only had Bersaglieri, they also had the Ariete Division and the Folgore Division. You could add paratroopers to the Italian player.
You could also add torpedo bombers to the Italians. The Italians used the Savoia Marchetti SM. 79 as a torpedo bomber in the Mediterranean. You could also add torpedo bombers to the Germany, United Kingdom, and the Soviet Union. Japan and the United States weren’t the only nations to have torpedo bombers.
I have another suggestion.
You could also add a Bearn class aircraft carrier to France. France’s only aircraft carrier in World War II was the Bearn class aircraft carrier.
The Bearn was out in the Atlantic when France surrendered in 1940. You could add torpedo bombers to the Soviet Union, too. The Soviet Union had torpedo bombers in the Baltic and Black Seas.
You could also add a plastic P-40 painted in China’s paint color to simulate the Flying Tigers. There is so much that you could add there.

Where can the most recent rules for Global '39 be found?
Thanks.
Go to main menu, and then go under the sub menu of Global Warfare. Then you want to go to the thread that says rules 7.2 and 7.1 and go to the second post of that thread. There is a link for the latest rules there.
I would provide you link, but don’t know how to do that.
I hope that helps! :-)

Thank you. In the end I found it by googling it. I have to admit they are very hard to find. Maybe it’s an idea for HBG to place the most recent version on BGG and on Axis and Allies.org in an easy to find place.

Normally they do, but this was never finalized. otherwise, it would be on BGG and axisandallies.org, by now.

Hmm. Not finalized, but they are selling it? (the map that is). Strange.

They try to revise it and make it better and more balanced, every once in awhile. Take for instance, the first edition of the 1940 game, people complained it wasn’t balanced and that is why a second edition came along.
This game is no different, they are just trying to make it better by revising it. :-)

Wild Bill, I think it was bumped to this Summer. I could be wrong, but I thought I heard Coach say it. Maybe, he can confirm it, for us.

Summer,
We are using another Artist and went back to simplify the rules. -

Very well then
-
yeah, we don’t mind to wait as long as the final product is high quality :-)
-
Catching up on this project myself, but am I correct in assuming this is the Second Edition of Global War?
If previous estimates were correct this should be coming out in about a month or so. Any ideas when the rules will be released? Looked around on the website but couldn’t find anything. Again, I am assuming a free pdf download on the rules as before.

This is the second edition of global war. I think this comes out at the end of summer, if I remember what Coach told me.
When the map comes out, I think the rules will come with it. :-)

Thanks John.

HBG Continues to work on the rules and map, both are coming along, slow but steady. Playtesting and corrections with attention to detail. We are shooting for a Fall release.

Update from HBG news letter, its coming soon. Pre order now, and planned ship date of Nov 1st.

So this is the thread I saw stuff on… Must have gotten buried. Thanks for the update Wild Bill.

Read the rules. Generally happy with what I see. Greatly simplified in the right places (e.g. no more US dud torpedoes) while some optional complexity is added in others (terrain rules).
One thing I really do miss, however, is the inability to retreat for the defender?? Was that decision made simply for reasons of added playing time?
