I think it arrived!

@lagouyn That looks correct, except for one small, but important, thing. In order to take control of a territory controlled by ally while their capital is enemy-controlled, you must recapture it from an enemy. You cannot ever take control of a territory directly from an ally (except when regaining control of one of your own original territories after your capital is liberated).

@lagouyn said in 1941: combat move rule uncertainty:

Does this paragraph just mean you control a territory you’ve vacated until an enemy captures it?

Hi lagouyn

Yes. That is what it means.

@lagouyn
Welcome to the forum.
You are correct.

@smallprint76 said in Is Northern Ireland considered connected to Sea Zone 9?:

@panther

Thanks for your response.

I was kind of coming to the conclusion that Northern Ireland was not connected to SS9 on my own but good to get clarification. Makes sense, due to the way the map is drawn and the fact that you can’t go through neutral territories (Ireland).

Yes, indeed.

Follow on question would then be are N.Ireland and UK considered same game space.

Yes

On board they look like they are almost touching. But assume you can take a ship through Irish straits.

Yes, sea zones 6 and 8 are adjacent.

So do you have to move troops to Northern Ireland using a transport?

No, Northern Ireland is not a separate territory.

And if someone attacked UK would NI units be considered part of battle?

Yes, Northern Ireland is not a separate territory.

@panther Thank you for the link. Unfortunately, I have finished translating the whole rulebook, but I’ll be sure to use if I ever translate the 1940 and 1942 versions. Right now, I’m going to work on the Anniversary version instead, even though I don’t own that version (nor the 1940 and 1942 versions). Thank you very much for your help.

@drice_new

I was confused by the rules for a while regarding that. I thought it was each group (all units that hit a 1, all units that hit at 2) roll for all the units.

When I moved on to Global 1940 and brought that mistake with me, it led to a problem where 12 US bombers (give or take) were unable to sink a Japanese fleet of 1 aircraft carrier, 1 destroyer, 2 fighters, and 1 battleship.

I figured it out later on, and I’ve been playing correctly for a year.

@leebear

Yeah, well, there’s nothing rose in terms of accuracy. I’m waiting on people’s responses on the accuracy of War Room and Global War before thinking about purchasing them.

I’m cool with a simpler game. I love Global but it takes a long ass time. Our group plays every two weeks for about 12 hours per session so we never finish a game of Global in one sitting. We like to mix it up and play Classic, 42, Anniversary, and Global. When we play the games other than Global we tend to get two games in per session. Sometimes we don’t finish the second game but we generally do. My particular group might not want to play a game that only lasts 2 hours, 6 times in a row but a short game like the one they are promoting is something that could fit between an AA50 game and a Classic game.
So far all we have is speculation and poor promotional information that contradicts itself. WE shall see. I promise this though. When I get hold of my copy it will remain inside the shrink wrap until our next game session and whether we are in the middle of a Global game or not we will open it and play it all in one day and it will end up being reviewed on the Dicetruction Podcast.

Check us out on iTunes but don’t listen back to the beginning cause recording quality sucked a**.

Oh wait! this is supposed to be Russia Ideas….

My first act as ruler of Russia is to execute Comrade Stalin and allow the Red Army to retreat without fear of their family being killed.
