How fast does HBG restock

@Timothy-Gengarella the lightning war ability only provides an extra combat and non combat phase; Germany doesn’t get a whole second turn.

@tank-nut Hey there!

So, there’s a bit more to it than that. There’s probably a lot of parts of the game that are related, but I’ll try and keep confined.

So in A&A, naval bases just increase movement. This has more than that.

There’s 3 types of naval bases. 1) Port, 2) Dockyard, 3) Shipyard.

Port.

Ports grant an extra movement for ships just like A&A. But they also are used as supply paths for Lend Lease. In GW36 you can lend lease to other nations, but they have to go through ports/undamaged railways, etc. So port can be very important for shipping lend lease supplies/units. You can send $3 worth of money or units through a minor port, and $5 worth through a major port. You can place these anywhere that has an ocean border. Also, it’s only a major port that grants the movement bonus, not a minor.

Dockyards

Dockyards can do the same things as ports, except while a minor dockyard can only support $3 worth of lend lease, a major dockyard can support unlimited amounts of lead-lease material. Dockyards can also be used to repair capital ships. Same as above, only major dockyards give movement bonuses.

Shipyards

Shipyards can do all the same things as ports and dockyards. The difference here is that they can also produce ships, 1 non-capital ship per turn for a minor dockyard, and 5 ships of any type for a major dockyard. Major dockyards can only be build in your home country too, you can’t build them in overseas and/or conquered territories, etc. Same as above, only major shipyards give movement bonuses.

Hope that helps! It’s a lot to keep in mind for sure!

@meyott Hey there! I haven’t been able to bust the game out in a while, so I’m maybe a bit rusty here, but I believe these should answer your questions.

When Greek Alignment happens would depend on at what point in the game Turkey is Aligned too. If the Axis win Influence over Greece before they’re at war with anyone, then Turkey would not be Aligned with the Axis just yet, and so Greece would not be able to become Aligned with the Allies right away. If the Axis was at war with the Allies, then Greece would become Allied Aligned immediately.

There’s seemingly a bit of contradiction between the Turkey At War Expansion rules, and the Turkey Reference sheet though.

The Reference Sheet states that “If Turkey becomes Axis Aligned (i.e. its at war with the Same Major Power as Germany Japan or Italy), Greece will immediately become Allied Aligned”.

The Expansion rules at 1.5© and 1.6 state:

“1.5© Declaration of War: Even if Turkey becomes Aligned to a Major Power an independent run Turkey is not forced to declare war and can remain neutral until it wishes to. Other nations can declare war on Turkey as per Global War Rules”;

“1.6 Greece: If Turkey becomes Axis Aligned, Greece will immediately become Allied Aligned”.

So to me, the Reference sheet is saying that Greece becomes Aligned with the Allies when Turkey is at war with the same Major power as the Axis, but the Expansion rules at 1.6 just say Greece becomes Allied Aligned the moment Turkey becomes Axis Aligned, seemingly regardless of Turkey’s belligerent status.

I know that’s not me really answering the question, haha. We’ve played based on what the Expansion Rules say though and not the Reference sheet, meaning that once Turkey becomes Axis Aligned, Greece will become Allied Aligned, regardless of Turkish war status.

Good point on Home Country here. I guess I’d refer to the rulebook for “Home Country”:

“Each nation has a group of land zones that comprise their Home Country as defined on the National Reference Sheet. For a Minor Power the Home Country includes the primary nation but not its colonies, islands or conquered land zones”.

@Trig Quite facinating ref sheet! Do you have a complete version available for publication?

Also, HBG has a full-up list of everything that you need to play 1936v3, as a three-page pdf file linked from their website:
https://www.historicalboardgaming.com/assets/images/HBG/GW1936v3/Accessories/Needed Units for Global War 36V31.pdf

That should let you know exactly what all you need to get started with 1936 v3.

@sjelso
If you have any more questions on the Admiral version of SCW, just ask. I designed it and would eventually like to adjust it to version 3.1 if there are more things not clear.

@sjelso:

Here is what I did with magnets (some videos).  Had my board printed on steel.  Has worked well.  I think I will might do flags instead of the chips/tokens.  I kinda went overboard but once I began…well…

It makes playing easier, no chips to deal with.

That exactly what I ended up doing for my aircraft. With the longer magnets.
