1939: World at War

News!! Progress is coming along well, but still needs a lot of work over these few months.
My first beta setup and rules should be out early November or late October. I’m still working on balancing the setup but also balancing on also trying to be historical accurate. I made Italy a bit to powerful. I’m still working on rules and modifying. When my first beta version is out I will need playtesters so if anyone is willing I would appreciate. I will be play testing on my own but it would be helpful to hear other’s ideas.

Thanks,

Now have 2 sets of rules with optional rules.

Standard rules use a more Axis & Allies turn based system.

In standard rules, all Axis move first simultaneously, followed by Allies.  That would encompass 1 entire season (4 seasons to a year).

Defender withdrawing still allowed, but can no longer move units into space the attacker is attacking (except for air units).

No more initiative in standard rules.

PM me to get an updated copy of the rules.

Cheers

Made a ABattlemap module of the 1939 map

Try it out http://www.axisandallies.us/AHE.gim.zip download and unzip into your Abattlemap folder with your other .gim folders and reopen Abattlemap.

Granted I’ve never played this game/map etc… so any suggestions to make the module better?

@C_Strabala:

I am considering buying the pieces only to add to my exspansive collection of plastic miniatures. How well do the ships sit on the gameboard?

The submarines have bodies that are a bit narrow, so they can sometimes tip over, but the other pieces are stable.

Right you cant have image posted directly w/o a link. We don’t need porn on this site so we decline to allow this type of situation from developing

I supose if I had built ships it would have made a difference.  I may give that a shot next time I play Germany.  It looks like I will be playing an ally this time though…

Considering all the feedback I have received from my first public release of Global Conflict on this form and other outlets, **I have now released my third edition of Global Conflict. **

It is much more balanced than before. Minor changes to setup makes Germany be a more threatening adversary. The Allied economic dominance has been addressed with modified convoy rules and also the edition of supply tokens.  Long game play time has been addressed with a new turn sequence which should keep all players more involved with very little idle time. A close competitive game with five players can now be completed in less than six hours. (This does not including setup). Technology rules have also been modified. Three new units have been included. They are Mechanized Divisions, Air Transports, and Cruisers.  (If you don’t have these units, replace all cruisers in the setup with destroyers, and ignore mechanized devisions and air transports.  Play will still be balanced)

I hope all of you enjoy the game.  And as always all comments, suggestions, and game reviews are welcome.
