You want the 1936 map! It has the terrain printed on it, and as I understand it, you can use it for a 1939 set up. Really the maps have slight differences. I think the Global War is moving in the direction of the 1936 map. I am trying to justify buying it now. Real question is 36" x 72" (3 ft by 6 ft) or 48" X 72" (4 ft by 8 ft) 1936 map!!! From what I gather if you have the room and are using 3D sculpts for bases, you may want the larger map. :roll:

Is the game playable with a map 72"x33" so it can insert into my global table, or must it be bigger than that?
-
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 where Venice is located.
Thanks!

The smaller size will be 34" X 72" so you may need to trim a little off the top and bottom for proper fit into your table. I have the small version of the original and I thought it was fine. But the revised is blowing up the smaller areas so that the small size map is less crowded. I would say the small revised will be easily playable. The bigger size will be epically cool for those that have the room for it.

Thanks, who is designing the revised map?

Tigerman of course! He’s just enlarging Europe and Japan. Everything else will be the same. Check it out on Facebook. Coach has been posting pics of the progress.
Edit: Also, if you do a Facebook search for “Global War 1939”, it has its own page that I built for it. The map is displayed there as the main pic.

Are the rules only available on BGG, or are they here somewhere as well?
