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:

Hi Tigerman,
would be nice to have 6.0 Setup/Rules to Play another game next Weekend! ???
-
Dude give him/them some time.
He said AROUND the 20th and I’m sure they have been busy with 1914.
Besides the rules are free, you dont pay for them so don’t rush them to get them out.

Update on rule revision. We are in playtest mode and hopefully be done in 3 weeks. My regular job has me working 80 hours a week the next 2 weeks so be patient. We are working on having 6.0 out in 3-4 weeks. I know that’s a month late but we really want to make sure these rules are solid!
-
Thanks Tiger for update and your time.
-
“Bump” to follow this thread
-
Any news it’s been three weeks?
-
I know that Tigerman is just about done with the revisions. He’s been slammed at work and been quite sick to boot so give him a bit more time. Thanks everyone! :-)

As I purchased GW39, I really like the map.
Looking forward to the changes; better to have them then start playing the game as is. lol
Took me a long time to set up the earlier version, but afterward I had to tear it down before I could play. lol
-
I am done with the revisions but I need to playtest a couple different scenarios and just set the game up. I’m moving foward!

Where can we get the LATEST Ruleset?
-
You get them from board game geek. Version 5.1, dated November 3, 2012. For whatever reason, you can only get to the most recent rules by clicking on the May 24, 2012 rules (updates version 5.0) link.

Yes, this is correct. For some reason, BGG format forces me to post the rules in this way. I was rejected for trying to give the 5.1 it’s own listing :?
6.0 due out soon as you know. Tiger is still chugging along between 12 hour days at his regular job.

This is true. Next week should be back to normal at my day job and I should have more time to play test the 6.0 revisions.

Ha! I out smarted the BGGers… Figured out I could change the title to show 5.1 now! Course, I’ll have to change it again soon but that’s okay… :mrgreen:
-
Guys any update on this? I was hoping to try out the new rules this weekend.
-
The wait is killing me.
-
I got a question, im about ot buy 1939, so i have to ask: do i need any extra colored sets of units? I have global 2nd and 1941, plus a set of baby-blue HBG minor axis (everything except tactical and battleships); do i need any more colors?
Also, the bigger map sounds sweet, but i cant find any photo of it, any1 got a link?
