Question about HBG Global 39

I just wonder, why Germany doesn’t have enought control markers in my box to cover Soviet Union with Western Europe?
Is it okay?

See this thread for some recommendations that were made in answer to a similar question:

@talonz:

Having not played 39/40, are you looking for more room for pieces on the map, or more territories on the map to play within?

Both, but predominantly more territories. Again, maybe experience would prove me wrong and (a little bit) bigger is not better, but I would like to try it. Without having played, I like the territory layout of G39 better, but prefer the aesthetics of G40.

@talonz:

I wonder how much printing this out will cost….

YoungGrasshopper was printing his modified G40 for about $150. I don’t recall if he was resizing it, but it was at least $150 for him. He also lives in Canada, so there might be a very slight price difference. I am sure your local print shop could give an estimate if you asked.

@talonz:

Next step will be finalizing my rules and deciding on what pieces to use.

Seems like the map is most important and the rest will fall in place or evolve as time goes on. Pieces and rules can always be added or subtracted. Spaces on the gameboard; not so much.

@Fighter:

Whatever fleet you build as UK, you are free to place in the seazones around UK. Then on the german players turn, he has 2 options: stay and fight against whatever fleet you might have built, or to run away.

This is correct. You may put new naval units in a zone that still contains enemy units.

Yep. Whatever that country has in their bank is now yours.

A capitol fall is very hard to come back from because of that. The toppled country misses a turn of buying units (no $$$) while at the same time giving the other side the chance to purchase with their normal collection plus the plundered treasure.

Subs from both sides shoot in “opening fire.” There is an “opening fire step” every round. Unless an opposing DES is present, sub hits (only can hit naval units) in opening fire don’t get to shoot back. Subs get a “free” shot every round.

If you guys are assuming that a round is roughly three months than almost any unit could be built in real time in that period of time. I have a book on Panzer Tanks and even the most powerful tank could field a full battalion in a little over three months. And when talking battleships, if it was a German pocket Battleship I believe it could be made in three months. You have to remember that most industries in these countries were geared almost completely to the war effort. :D :D

Thanks.
