Another shot:
Check it out here at HBG’s site:

I like the idea of the insets like the original AandA. Territories that may become cramped could be represented on the borders of the map.
As it is, I think the map is good and enjoy playing on it. Yes, Europe and the western USSR can become a bit crowded, but using chips and keeping things neat helps out a lot.
It will be really interesting to see the new map and rules.
I have a question to those who have tested the 1939 game.
Is it easy to capture London, on germanys first round?
If germany just buy a lot of transports in the first impulse of the blitz, then attack London on the second impulse?

No, nearly impossible!
Bought this map a week or two after it came out at HBG awile ago.
Good Work Tigerman! Love the map. In the middle of a game right now. Count on me as a surefire customer in the future! :wink:
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 were Venice is located.
Thanks!
We are playing ALL our global games on Tigermans 39 map now. We use the old 4x8 map but have added a few sea zones. Also have changed a lot of the rules and setups. Have added additional unit types. Have a game scheduled for tomorrow. Will post photos when we get started. Germany is very crowded on the initial setup but that improves in turn two and three.
Hey Fish-
You should post your alternate setup on the GW39 BGG page. I’d be interested in your changes and what you didn’t like about the original version.

I simply do not have the time to go to another site and post all the changes and setup right now. I am not a typest to start with. Our game is still a work in progress. There is no use posting everything at least until we get it 90% complete. I am attaching a photo.
Ah, I didn’t know it was still a work in progress. When it’s all hashed out, if you don’t want to type it out just let me know and I can do it for you. Sounds like some great ideas out there!
Revised map is done! Will begin shipping on the 9th. Here is the link:

Ordered mine yesterday. :wink:
How different is the starting set up from A&A? Do the axis begin ahead of the allies in terms of air power for example?

Download the rules and setups and this should answer your question!
Shpuld the province in north Finland be Tornio not Torin?
This version and death head’s version both NEED to be on Triple A
What are the rules and setup under on BGG. Looking for the latest up dates. Thank you

Is the latest version of the map (the one w/o Harbours and Airfield) available for download somewhere? I’m living in Germany and would like to print the newest version on self-adhesive Vinyl here locally.
Thank you!

Hi Andy,
die Map gibts leider nicht zum download, musst du bestellen, hab sie von historicalboardgame Europe, Sitz in Holland. Ist zwar nicht billig, lohnt sich aber ohne Ende. Wenn du die Möglichkeit hast, sprich einen Tisch der groß genug ist, hol dir die Große Map, sonst wirds eng auf dem europäischen Kriegsschauplatz. Die Große gibts allerding nur direkt aus den USA!
