@vodot Yeah, definitely seems like the US would need some kind of economic boost if they have a split economy. I bet playing like this would be more historically accurate and more fun, especially with more than 2 players.

Has anyone tried putting edge markings on the chips to make chip stacks more readable?

@Imperious-Leader sorry, no pics this time but the table did feel like this was a way better way to begin the game. Gets the game going a little quicker and with zero 9-12 anxiety for either side. Seems like it would be more fair for tournament play also.

Has anyone made a combined and concise rulebook for Global 1940?

Introducing new players to the game and handing them 2 rulebooks and pointing out that some rules are stuck at the back of the books separately does not help the learning curve at all.

So I started thinking about putting something together, but wanted to see first if there’s anything existing.

Anyone playing anniversary with modern rules and/or units from 1942.2 or G40??
Any tips for balancing the game and/or changing the initial setup??

I’m excited to see the game being re-released but I like the modern rules for AA guns and tanks too much to go back I think, and I’m sure adding the units from G40 would be cool too.

@panther This is indeed the recommendation I’ve followed. Forgot to mention I’m testing with low luck dice.

Or maybe noting zombie kills per nation and for every X number of kills tech is achieved.

Here’s another pic in dimmer light, which is a better comparison to the before picture above.

The silver pops nicely. Before, in the same lighting situation, I couldn’t see most of the border lines at all.

I used the Edding 5300 silver acrylic paint marker with a 1-2 mm tip
The silver seems to really catch what little light there is in the room.

As the paint the marker ran low of paint it was harder and harder to control, so I reccomend just stopping and using a fresh paint marker if this happens. A few of the last lines I did are fatter than I would like because of this.
But the overal result is a huge improvement.
