Helpful Tips on the Rules for New Players

@vowly said in Rule Entry for flying over neutrals:

Does this count for non combat moves of only combat moves?

Logic dictates that “Fly over” applies to combat and non-combat movement.

@theveteran Yeah, it’s definitely a good point. I think we’ve really just been overlooking the value of an easy lend-lease area for the CCP by doing this earlier in the game than has typically happened!

@trig Japanese aircraft and bombardments will be used in the naval battle, Japan should
Not have both a large fleet AND a large landing force. They don’t have enough income to have both in time to hit the US with their surprise strike. This will only happen if Japan has put its complete focus on the US from the start of the game. No house rule is needed to combat a 💯 US focus by Japan.

Thank you guys. I played a dozen games of A&A in my life, so I am far from an expert. I prefer asking than being wrong.

Hello,

HBG has posted updated Reference sheets on their website in October 2020.
https://www.historicalboardgaming.com/Global-War-1936v3-Downloads_c_1462.html

This isn’t air tight, but it is what I am play testing.

Troop Saves
• Infantry Units may be Saved by friendly Medics, Hospitals & Hospital Ships that are in range.
• Saving- After combat, roll 1d12 per infantry casualty. On 2s, you may return an infantry (same type as casualty) to stage 2 on the production chart. This unit can be place at a hospital or hospital ship the next turn.

Medics
• Cost 1 IPP, The Medic token may be placed under an existing standard infantry unit in supply
• Medics save friendly infantry units in their zone.

Hospital Ships
• Cost 1 IPP, The Hospital Ship token may be placed under a naval transport in supply
• May save friendly infantry units in amphibious assaults, and adjacent land zones
• Healed troops may return to the game at Hospital Ships.

Hospitals
• Cost 3 IPP to build
• All Cities (red dots and circular land zones) have hospitals inherently
• Healed troops may be returned to the game at Hospitals.
• Hospitals save troops in their zone and surrounding zones.

Obviously, if a Hospital location is captured, or Hospital Ship/Medic is taken as a casualty during combat, saves cannot be attempted.

@ABWorsham4
I dont believe so. They can only attack after Italy has attacked another nation though.

Repost from main Global War forum:

Hey everyone, on You Tube I go by the alias “Admiral Sea Bass.”

I just started a new Global War 36 series on my YT channel. First video is up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKLCrKpPC6I

I will be covering the expansions and optional rules I will be using, then strategy for each major power, then a solitaire play through.

Oh - and I will be giving away a 3x6 map. 🙂

Come join the fun!
