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?
Hi Chico,
Right off the hop go to Boardgamegeek and get the latest rules and set-up for Global 1939 (if you have not already). You will need to set up an account there to download the files. They will tell you what you will need for pieces. From what you are saying, you may need/want more (e.g. Axis Minors, more neutrals, Communist Chinese, Holland, coastal subs, battleships, etc. and so on).
For a view of the first Global 1939 map produced there is a cool video on:

And below is a pic of the newest map:

I’ve played Global '39 more than a dozen times and I love it more each game. Have fun!
Yep, listen to Koba. He knows what he’s talking about. I suggest getting the rules and going through the stuff you already own to see what you would still need. You can choose how you want your set to look. Different color pieces, markers, however you want to build it. It’s up to you. HBG provides all the tools. I would look at the stuff on our site and decide what you like best. Then make a list of what colors/markers to use for what, and compare that against the setup charts in the rules. Remember to buy enough overage for in-game purchases. This is the fun part of getting this game to me. Customized to your preference!
Tigerman77… I cant take this wait anymore. :cry:
I have been anticipating the version 6 rules for a long time. It is May 22 now. I think it would be helpful if someone would just communicate a time frame of when it will be done. Play-testing can take a long time - if you do it right - and if you have other responsibilities. That being said, I think some communication from Tigerman would help. If he needs more time, that’s okay.
I agree back in late Feb they said about 4 weeks, it’s been 3 months.
I planned to play with the new rules this past weekend, with my group we planned it out two months in advance and we couldn’t play (with the new rules) was a major let down to my game group.
