Minor Threat's Alpha+3.9 (Global 1940) COMPLETE! Setup Charts

Stauffenberg

Hi everyone,

I am new to this board and this is my first post 8-)

I just wanted to say thank you, these cards are great and most of the other stuff on this board is as well, especially the map and NO cards by Young Grasshopper and also his YT-channel. Not to mention all the stuff Cyanight does and many others around here…

Anyway, again these setup cards are great, I think they are the best out there as they contain not only the setup, but also Politics&NOs and all those little pieces of information that we want to have at hand without the rulebook resting on the table: turn sequence, tech chart, unit reference chart etc.
And the design is just great.

As Scharpess pointed out above, there seems to be just 1 item being different to 2nd Edition, which would be that 1 less British INF in Egypt. I did not check everything yet, but it seems to be the case.

Minor Threat/SehxualPanda, since you seem to be still active in this board, would it be possible for you to fix that one thing?
Another point I noticed: I am not sure for some of the other nations, but the German background photo seems to be from WW I.
Just a minor thing, but would it be possible to “upgrade” to a WW II photo? I attach 2 examples to this post…

I know you said before there won’t be any more updates, but maybe you can change your mind about these 2 items?
I would gladly do it for you if you sent me the layered photoshop files, I just can’t do it with the .png files you offer for download. PM me if you are interested.

Best regards,
Stauffenberg

I think so!

Awesome stuff. Thanks Panda

CHILDREN

I’m revisiting these after quite some time, A New Revision of these will be available soon.

What to expect:

New Design (easier on the eyes)
Up-to-date rules
and more

Also i’m thinking of creating setup charts for A&A Anniversary, but i’m undecided.

You rock!!

I’m getting back into Global after 5-6 years, and am glad to find these charts, which look great - thanks for making them, and keeping them updated.

That being said, would it be possible to create a printer friendly version, without the extensive areas of dark color and graphical backgrounds with large dark areas? Maybe the remaining graphics would echo the look of the original game’s instructions?

I’d be happy to try doing this myself, if I could have the files in a format that permits removing or changing those background images or colors.

Cheers,
Eph

I still like these charts ;)

@CHILDREN Thank you for all your work; how is the New Revision coming…

@CHILDREN Thanks for designing and sharing these setup charts. I wonder if you have them in a white background. The black background consumes too much of my black ink. Or, would you know other alternative setup charts with a lighter background? Many thanks.

Wow, these are super, muchos gracias :-D

And now KICKS SELF FOR NITPICKING
-United States card: NOs #1 and #4 the word ‘Sovereignty’ spelled wrong (extra ‘i’)
-UK card: UK (London) operations: the phrase ‘exclusively only’ seems redundant, just ‘exclusively’ would do (same on India card)
-UK card: the word ‘Canadian’ spelled wrong (extra ‘n’)
-Japan card: NO #1 the word ‘resource’ spelled wrong (second ‘s’ instead of a ‘c’)
-ANZAC card: wording of NO #2 seems weird ‘Strategic cornerstone - to far East British Empire’. Does this miss the words ‘Malaya considered’?

KICKS SELF AGAIN

Beside these little wording mistakes, they are still great and stick to the latest updates and rules!

While I checked my stuff again I found something but I am not quite sure if there is a benefit when you will change it:

It is not necessary but you could add the (2) for all anti-aircraft gun at DEFENSE… they only occur when Radar is researched…
Fighter Attack (4) when Jet Fighters
Submarines --> Super Submarines (3)
Heavy Bombers Roll 2 Dice (but not easy to show this while not causing confusion)
Etc…

and maybe on the turn sequence to add the polictics move “to declare war”

Just suggestions, no need! As said above, maybe you should leave it like it is… The player should use a Research Board, so that they can see which technology they got… hopefully they do not forget it during the game ;)
