@Chris_Henry good post. Japan cannot take its eye off its objectives - like DEI that you mentioned - just to annihilate China. In fact, as long as Japan takes and holds the coastal provinces of China, you could argue it should have little interest in going further.

@Chris_Henry I have the same question as your #1 and #2. I really have no idea especially on #1. I deducted that “the Maritimes” must be Nova Scotia. However I have no idea on the prairies. I am going to assume Alberta - Saskatchewan.

I also found an even bigger issue in the CAW rules: text says Canada gets 3 IPP income and starting money, but chart says 2. I am going to play it as being 3, but it would be nice to get a clarification.

On your #3, I think the new GB setup has a militia only in Ottawa, so will just replace the militia chip with the QOR chip.

@Klaykowalski I have never played with that expansion. However I am curious whether you are using other expansions as well? For me, Partisans seems to heavily favor the Allies. So if I ever used it, I would balance it by something that favors the Axis - like Elite of the Reich or something like that.

@Rank-Carcass that is basically the same strategy for how Russia defends itself. Pull back from the front, maybe set up blockers, then hit on the counterattack. I will try that in the game I am getting ready to play.

@Rank-Carcass I do like the new convoy rules better, even though you think they might favor the raiders. I would fix that by requiring the convoy protectors to develop some kind of technology like sonar. That would require sonar to provide a benefit that counters the impact the new rules has for the raiders.

Very interesting strategy from the Germans. I wonder if that won’t become the standard strategy for the Germans moving forward - if they can knock out the Russians quickly without the Allies harming them on the west front that seems like a consistent recipe for success.

@dazedwit welcome to YouTube! Enjoyed your video. Keep making them!

@655321 on the d12 question, right now it is a mix. I am using D12 for a couple of new units - light cruisers and battle cruisers - but d6 for everything else. I have thought about implementing d12 across the board but then I could not use my new YG hit dice. :-)

Thanks for the comments and for watching my vids!

Hey everyone, just wanted to share a new channel on You Tube. I am covering Axis and Allies Global 1940 as well as Global War 36 from Historical Board Gaming.

My channel name is “Admiral Sea Bass.” :-)

My first video series is all about taking the tech rules from Global War 36 into Axis and Allies Global 40, along with some house rules on light cruisers and battle cruisers.

Would love if you could follow me and give me feedback.

Rank Carcass and General Hand Grenade, you get special shout outs in my opening video. Thanks guys!

@GeneralHandGrenade said in Global War 1936-1945 3rd Edition:

@cdatkins74 Yes there will be a new map.

Thanks GHG!

@GeneralHandGrenade yep already watched that video. LOL. Look forward to your Tulsa adventures!

do you know if there will be a new map? Not a big deal to me anyway as I need to buy a 4x8 map at some point. But it would be nice to know whether I could pull that trigger now or wait for the 3rd edition.

Rank Carcass is playing through a solo game on You Tube right now, and he has a house rule where the warlord territories that border the USSR become CCP after Japan invades China. This has made the Japanese invasion a lot more interesting, especially since he has three Soviet fighters in there helping out now.

where can we learn more about the changes coming in the 3rd edition?

I am curious what kind of changes are we talking about - new map? new set up? etc.
