Thanks for the reply! Yeah, I watched the video after I posted (dumb of me), and noticed the new cities, new islands in the pacific, etc.

I wasn’t too worried about the terrain features, if that was the only change. I could find some other way to represent jungle, dessert, tundra, etc. with my current map. But sounds like that won’t work.

Not going to lie, that’s highly disappointing. Really disappointing that they’d do that to your customers who already shelled out $150.00+ for the current map, just to make a new one making this obsolete. You essentially HAVE to buy the new one in order to get the rule fixes (which are desperately needed), otherwise they would not make sense with the old map, or would have to be further modified/house ruled by individual owners. Just upsetting, because we don’t all have $150.00 to throw around every 2 years when they decide to update the map.

Oh well, looks like I’ll have to think on it.

Note v1.4 of reference sheets has been released changing a few minor setups. But mainly changing the monroe doctrine regarding South America.

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!

@Moffett:

Wish they would do more sculpts.  Their Italian set was pretty good.

Long sordid story behind the continuation of the FMG Combat Units … certainly not one to get into again on this thread ;)

Agreed, the Italian set is superb. Sadly, I do believe that what we have in stock at IWNGU is the last you’ll ever see of them.

I would like rounded d6 (regular size- 15/16mm) for Global 1940 and AA1914

Hi guys,

I’m getting out of the game.  :-(
I put a bunch of units (by Nationality) on ebay if you’re interested.
