MOVED: Global 1940 (metal map)

@tincanofthesea thanks! I’m going test it next time I play. Whats your feedback? @GeneralHandGrenade

If USA declares war in turn 3’s income phase, the bonus is +25. +20 is if they don’t hold the Philippines.

Yeah, I wish they put the couple of rules not in both books in the global section at the back.

Europe has the straits rule.
Pacific has Kamikaze and China rules.

If you’re aware of that, it isn’t too much of a problem.

Hi ANZAC.  For the HBG 1939 map, think of a 4x8 sheet of plywood.  Its is HUGE and awesome.  You need a big room for that size table plus room to walk around on all 4 sides.  I only played the 1939 game one time and I can say it is definitely superior in a hundred different ways, but playing it is an order of magnitude more complex than global 1940.  Global 1940 seems like the kiddie game next to it, which is nuts because global 1940 is not an easy game by any means.  I’d say your best bet is to get the global 1940 if only for the pieces, and then blow the extra money for the 1939 map and elite pieces if and when you and your crew outgrow it.  Another option is to play 1940 on this site with triplea.

I prefer the pressure to be on the axis to make things happen. Right now it is a little too easy for the axis to catch up in income.

Here is the game setup as provided on Larry’s site:

Not yet…real life has caught up with me recently and I’ve had less time on my hands than I expected.  I’ll post here when I get it underway.

They be coming soon.
