Detailed Drawing of Global Map & Global Map with Alpha Plus Setup

Since were all talking about G39…
Does anyone know if there is a simplified version of G39?
I have the latest map, it’s beautiful. But a little too complex and too many outside pieces required.
To me G40 is a great ruleset.

I would love to play a version that is G40 style with 39 setup on the 39 map.
It would also be much more appealing to new players.

I tried that Med strategy that I posted earlier in this thread on Saturday, and it worked great. I caught my opponent by surprise by being so aggressive and it messed up all his plans (what ever they were). I will report later.

@suprise:

The A +3 seems to make it easier for the Allies than the A +2
  Still more testing to be done. the Axis could use 24$  extra at the start to share or give to one and place the pieces before the purchase  or include with the purchase and put them out at deployment something an extra little kick or something
  I was hoping for a more balanced game  but that was just the 1st one
  More testing still to be done

I don’t know about an extra 24 ipcs, im thinking maybe a bid for axis that starts at like 20-24 is best.

I might be able to play against your axis too otahere. if you don’t mind little long waits between some turns.

Germany, Japan and Italy have to be aggressive. While also taking calculation on when to go to war with certain countries. So if you just sit and build without moving, you’re doomed.

it is better.

ANZAC and UK should be allowed to fight together anyways.

Thanks Mountaineer.  Those are helpful.

Slacker is right, yeah its not what we all expected but its still a great game and you should be happy with Mr. Harris taking his time to help improve the game experience. yeah its a pain to check the updates but its not all that bad. i still like both the 1940 games and the way my gaming group plays, we don’t think the OOB is totally unbalanced. yeah it needed a little work but not that much. theirs my 2 cents

The red I posted was Larry’s summary of others in the long pages of posts.  I actually do not agree with everything in red in my previous post, I just wanted to jump start the brainstorming.

At this point, I could keep the current rules with a small change of damage (3 +1d6).  
or just 2d6.

A lot is going on at the Larry Harris site and I wanted more participation by members of  this forum.
Many of us do not post at the other site very often.
