I believe it for the gamesmanship. It makes Greece a little more of a fight. One legitamate territory is now split into three destinct territories. Exagerating the canal into a full blown body of water makes the British or Italians produce or keep transports just to get to Corinth instead of just walking in. Hightens the challenge. The map is not exactly geographically accurate in a couple of places but it adds to the playability of the game. Look at North Africa. In Global 39 the Sahara desert is reduced in comparison to Europe 1940 in order to add more French territories to fight over.

That map looks excellent. However, there are more spaces than in G40 and will probably take at least 2 weekends to play. Right now, G40 is pushing the envelope of being playable in one sitting.
-
more spaces mean more battles more battles mean more time. i dont care so i like it
-
I will correct that misspelling. It will ytake a little more tiume to play the game with the extra territories, but with good experienced players the game should not go past 10 hours……lol…its about 3 more turns than the global game.

I think it looks great.
A couple of minor issues:
-I think eastern Kazakh needs to be western Kazakh
-Singkiang or Sinkiang?
-Novosibirsk instead of Novgsibirsk
-New Hebrides instead of New Herbides
-New South Whales??? :-D
-Sahara desert a little too big to my liking
-there are two West Africas on the map
-Eire not Erie
-Bremen should be West Germany (there are more such territories that I believe might be better named as ‘Southern Norway instead of Oslo’ etc…
-Libya instead of Lybia
-Egypt-Sudan or Anglo-Egypt-Sudan, Egyptian Sudan is historically inaccurate
-do Kirov and Omsk border?
-Mariana Islands or Marianas
-Shensi or Shansi?Sorry for nitpicking :lol:

No, we want the nitpicking.
We want to use the map for our own use and would like it as correct as possible.
thanks! -

Tigerman cant download your set up chart tells me it was sent e-mail cant decode it.
-
I’ll fix that! Rommel, when u download the charts please give me some feedback, positive or negative. For rules to this variant I’m taking the G40 rules and tweeking them to fit. That will be comming in a few weeks. Also looking at adding a supply system using supply tokens! Instead of oil rules, you have to purchase supplies to keep your war machine moving!

@Gen:

I get an errot on the “Tirn Chart” download" but the others work.
-
Try this download for the turn chart, if it doesn’t work then my file is corrupt and i’ll have to make another one. I also put a combat roll chart at the top of this thread also.
