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

@SS-GEN That’s awesome, not sure I’ve seen your war room before! We’d love to have it eventually!

My dad has been living with my grandma for a while now (partly because of his divorce, and also to help grandma around the house). So we play there on the dining room table. My dad’s dream is to eventually get his own place again and convert any spare bedroom to an awesome war room and get a sweet custom made table. Would love to do all that myself too, but house is probably too small and wife would probably murder me!

Love your setup there. I always envision damn near the same thing!

Has a few ideas I used for this exact issue. I’ve changed a few things since with the chips colours. It was a bit overwhelming at first.

Though over time I’ve started to buy or make some pieces to replace these chips from hbg. Occasionally they are out of stock on some stuff.  Some we used often and others we didn’t bother with. Torpedo boat destroyers for example were not worth it for us we just switched to destroyers for these at setup. For now….

HBG says you can play with global40 oob pieces. But a few items are nice to have extra.

Found it way cheaper to buy some units from hbg. The pieces from Pacific or Europe 40. Some are sold in a complete bag for a nation uk and usa most likely in stock. And spray paint any extra colours you want. Dutch orange, yellow comunist china and spain to augment the special units in the same colours i bought.

If money isn’t an issue I’d say call or email the folks at HBG and get everything you need there. They know their stuff and can assist you with the pieces and options required. Have had lots of communication with them. They are very good at getting back to you and assisting with your orders!

@Imperious:

This does not belong here. Spend 3 more seconds of time and notice global has its own section.

You forgot: “and welcome to the forum!”.

If you contact the company directly and speak with Doug. I am more then positive something can be worked out if you need the number its  #918-208-9573 mind you this is central time in the U.S. so call accordingly

Address your concerns and see what can be done Best Wishs!

Just a thought. You could roll a die for automatic retreats. What I mean is if defender wants to retreat, then roll a die and that many can retreat. Bad die roll and he may have to leave a good piece behind. Also could force the attacker the same thing.

Now I just need a PDF of the map.

Hi,

No, if Germany takes Holland it gets only the 2 IPC for Holland (IPC’s are lost to the bank), the DEI immediately taken over by FEC. But only the Income, not the troops. So the dutch infantry on the DEI can only defend. The dutch navy is, like all Dutch countries allied with UK (incl. Canada, South Africa, Anzac, FEC) and France since the beginnig of the game. Is not really historical accurate, I know.

So Japan is forced to attack the Dutch DEI or Germany gets a problem with Holland home Guard.

Revisions in progress that will have some slightly different setup for neutrals. Not a game changer, just better. The Rules will be better written also.
