1939 Map - Jeremy's Variant with Set-up Charts 2.0 In Development

A good movie is to invade the Middle East with USSR as soon as you can.

Don’t forget to donate next year to help keep this forum going. Help us keep HBG questions here where they belong.

Piss Off  El Cheapo !!!

Thanks! Lots of good ideas. HGB has a ton of options but we didn’t want to ‘go all out’ on pieces until playing it through at least once. Since they’ll be releasing a supplemental set, I may wait.

I like the place markers idea and already made some. After T1, Germany has 5 units on Luxembourg – it can’t fit half of one unit.

I should’ve bought the 4x8 map :cry:  Even so, I think the map still needs another rev. Squish all those empty USSR zones east and make some more room for Europe. Not accurate but…

:?

@Munck:

HBG just responded to my question about the 1939 setup on Facebook.

They are done. We are reviewing them do look for them in a couple weeks.

Good news�  :mrgreen:

Awesome news, Munck! :-D

Hi,

some things in setup and rules have to be changed or clarified in my opinion:

1. Exactly clarification of state of Dutch (allied or Pro allied Neutral, role of DEI and navy)
2. Movement and Escape rules of neutral coastel ships and what happens after occupation by axis or allies.
3. FEC and UK. Can you also build facilites with UK IPC’s in FEC or Anzac territories (in the current rules is only the speak of “Units” to build in)?
4. Russian Partisans, at what time of turn they raise up
5. At what time geht the pro-neutrals one infantry more, at the beginning of turn 2 or at the end oft turn 2 (One Infantry more every two turns)
6. Can The USA spent their money only when at war or also before? In the current rules:
ALLIED LEND/LEASE:
The U.S. may attempt to lend money to any Allied power that is at war and that can build units. Also China ???
The U.S. may only make one attempt to each country per turn. Can you spent separatly eg. to South Africa and UK??? or are these two nations one coutry in that case?

Setup changes:

1. There should be some infantry in South and Middle American neutrals (Mexico, Chile etc.)
2. Calcutta (FEC) is in our opinion to weak, so you can occupy Calcutta in turn 3 with Japan (All Transports + Carrier based Aircraft), maybe there should be more units or a fortification against sea attacks in Calcutta. If you use the sneak Attak with Japan there is in my opinion no way to hold Calcutta with FEC.
3. One Infantry in Corinth and One in Crete

Bump for update 5.1 rules:
Damaged Battleships attack & def at 5 or less

Very nice!!!
