Looking forward to seeing how you blend the 2 rule sets. Last g40 game we played my group was disappointed by some missing unit types but happy with the faster builds for factory and naval units. Tech in g40 is so broken we never got a guy willing to use it. Gw36 tech is always in play. Good luck its looking good!

That said, you don’t think potential railroad supply path disruption in the Balkans/Greece area could be an issue for the Axis? That would probably take many games to really see the difference a lot, but I could see it.
Also, the fact that the Axis would need to garrison some troops in those territories, even if only a few, are that many less to terrorize the Eastern Front :)
Curious, given the fact that you use Turkey at War, you don’t also think using Croatia at War in tandem might be an even bigger thorn? If the Allies or Comintern “win” Turkey, that mixed with partisans in Yugoslavia would prove a decent destabilizing issue in that area of the map. Curious on your thoughts.
You’re right about the first thing. It could be an issue, albeit a rare occurrence.
Germany gets a bunch of SS units for free to deal with partisans. They can’t be used for much else anyway.
We haven’t played with TAW yet - our first game with that Expansion is next week. I see your point, though. Esp. if you look at it from the Axis side. If partisans were to hinder rail movement, the Axis player could not use Turkey to rail units to the Middle East.
For us, it all comes down to this though:
We want to play as “effective” as possible. Also why I made the PDF’s I posted in the beginning of this thread. By being more effective, we get more rounds in a game-day. Doing minuscule things like partisan rolls that doesn’t effect the grand scheme of things takes time. Like the rest of the detail-oriented Expansions. Time we would rather spend going one more round :-)
-
Yea, was just a thought there really. Could maybe not alter at all. But I could see a combination of the two being a bit of a pain.
I definitely get what you’re saying on being effective! While I totally understand that want, we go a bit further in the other direction. We’ve just accepted that this game will take at least a full weekend, and quite possibly have to remain set up for a time after. We just figure we might as well add some of the cool stuff to it if it’s going to take that long anyways!

I’m jealous! Playing a whole weekend is a luxury we unfortunately can’t afford! :cry:
We are considering splitting it over multiple days though - but that is to try the 1936 setup. -
Haha don’t get me wrong, it’s the very reason we can’t get many games in either! It revolves around whenever my wife is out of town for a whole weekend basically! We’re hoping to clear some space soon, and find a more permanent larger table top that we can use to keep the game set up for longer periods of time. We know it can’t stay on my dad’s dining table indefinitely, which is why we try start to finish in a whole weekend!

This game is the exact reason I purchased a table that can be covered up to “store” a game like this.
This game wasn’t created yet but it’s exactly what I bought the table for originally to have a place to keep a game set up.
Then it’s a normal dinner table during the week.

I thought about this. I myself am so busy I am lucky to play once or twice a year. If you can seal up your game you can just pick up where you left off even a few months later.
Do you have any pictures of your table?

Agreed, I’d love to see some pictures if you are able!

I’ll get GW 36 set up then take some photos.

I noticed on the sheets that FALLSCHIRMJÄGER was listed as a separately entry right above Airborne. With higher defense and attack values.
Was that just a personal thing or was that in one of the expansions? AM I just being blind? Also saw it has a limit of one per turn. SO sounds like something from the game but just making sure….

They originated from the Sealion expansion.

Ahhh, I didn’t even think to check that! Perfect!

Thank you all for your work on these player aids!
