IMO, the beauty of classic and the nostalgia which got many of us into this hobby was that a game could be completed in a day…BBR is an 8 rd varient, timed for 6 hours per side in tournament play…among many other tweaks that enhance gameplay, the genius of bbr lies in a railing system that greatly speeds up land movement, blockades so one dd cannot block entire fleets, and a victory point system that rewards nontraditional play.

It stays close to source material so the leap from g40 to bbrr is not very large…one rd and you’ll have 90% of the ruleset.

I’ve taken looks at other varients… needless complexity for the sake of historical accuracy or multi-day games…not interested, especially with a group of guys with busy lives.

Hey There,

I am an avid “Axis” fan and would love to play sometime.  I’m from the Eau Claire area which is only an hour away…so travel is not a problem.  I have been looking for some experienced players to get into a monthly or bi-monthly wars…if interested email me at Toczek55@yahoo.com

I have been an avid A&A player since 1990 and have not yet posted on this forum.  Being thoroughly unimpressed by the mass marketed A&A versions, I bought the “Death Head” map in 09 with the intent on creating my own version of Global War.  After a year of play testing, I could not make the mechanics or political situation workable.  After nearly 20 years playing A&A, I had given up.  The game was stale.
Three weeks ago, I stumbled upon the 1939 Global War map.  It was an epiphany.  All the map changes I had made to the DH map were accounted for with a few extra surprises.  After downloading the rules and set ups, I realized that this was exactly the game I was trying to create.  What amazes me the most is the time and dedication the creators of this version devoted to this project. 
Well done, gentlemen.  The level of complexity, variable dynamics that insure a different outcome in the first five rounds from game to game, weighting historical advantages of the major powers…it’s all too good to be true.

@questioneer Yes, I’ve played BBR exclusively since I found it almost three years ago…I don’t check this forum often, so I know this is somewhat belated…I can give you a full rundown on bbr and it’s active online community if you like.
