@credulous Great post, Credulous! I have a few more color match requests for you!

China CCP
China KMT
Free French
Spanish Nationalists
Spanish Republicans

Confirmed matches, thus far:

ANZAC is London Gray
China CCP is Apple Red
China KMT is close to Eden (but nothing quite matches that lime-green color)
Free French is Aqua
Germany is Canyon Black
Nationalist Spain is Lemongrass
Neutrals is Blossom White
Republican Spain is Aubergine

@noneshallpass said in Vichy rolls:

“Once all the naval units on the board have been reassigned, the Axis players can decide to relocate any or all of their converted ships to their Home Country by placing them immediately in sea zones 13 or 15 (for Germany) and sea zones 38 or 56 (for Japan). Ignore all normal movement restrictions.”

That means what it says and says what it means.

I second this.

@sjelso said in Gibraltar - Does Axis control and closure deny UK of 6 IPC?:

If the Axis control and block Gibraltar does that cut off the 6 IPC from the Mediterranean convoy line?

Are you using optional rule 15.2?
15.2 Suez Re-Route
If Eastern Egypt or Gibraltar is Enemy-possessed, the British IPP in the Meiterranean cannot be the subject of Convoy Raiding. Instead, reassign the British IPP by adding 3 IPPs to the East African Line and 3 IPPs to the West African Line.

If you are not using optional rule 15.2, the 6 IPPs are not “cut-off”, but can easily be raided every turn.

@sjelso said in Subs, Destroyers, MAP and other ships:

@manincellv Ok…I thought the sub forfeits its roll in order to dive/submerge and get away.

No. They get one roll.

I agree with everything manincellv has written, except this.

9.4 Retreats from Combat: Submarines
Attacking or Defending Submarines may submerge (i.e. retreat but remain in the same sea zone), in addition to retreating to an adjacent sea zone in lieu of making their next Attack or Defense roll."

@sjelso 12.8 Special Fortification Zones:
Some areas on the map are so small that a single Fortification and/or Coastal Artillery protects the entire zone regardless of how many land or sea zones they border. These areas are:
…(e) British Malaya

Your second question is an interesting one. You could use an airborne assault on normal fortifications that are protecting only a single border (not like the special fortification zones, above), to aerially cross a non-fortified border and avoid the fortification bonii. However, if even a single unit attacked across that fortified border, then you would trigger the clause in 12.7, “…protect from attacks across that border.” If there is an attack across that border, then fortifications provide two first strikes at 5 and add+2 Defense to all defending land units on round one of combat. There is no specifier on the word combat. It isn’t round one of amphibious combat or airborne assaults. It is “round one of combat.” Because special fortification zones protect all land and sea zones, there is no way to avoid facing fortified defenders.

@hbg-gw-enthusiast
You are welcome. I love the diversity in this game and the depth that gives. It makes it far better than A&A.

Agreed! It’s so much better than A&A!!!

@trig said in Tech Priority Preference by Nation:

@panzerfreak Yes, v2 had a separate Tiger, but now all German Heavy Armor is a Tiger with TS @1-3

Ok, thanks for backing me up, Trig! I was confused!

Here is the most recent National Reference Sheet for Germany (Oct 20): https://www.historicalboardgaming.com/assets/images/HBG/GW1936v3/Ref Sheets/Germany v33.pdf

It lists the Tiger IE on page 3 with a target selection of 1-3.

Here is the most current errata for v3: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Dpa_iI2dE3oBodKkLFEFEoaG7YKRCkUTC4cSZnywgn4/edit

There is nothing about changes to the National Reference Sheet for Germany.

Is there something posted somewhere about Tiger IE’s being changed to just normal Heavy Armor?

Here are some colors I’m going to try:
ANZAC = London Gray https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/painters-touch-2x-ultra-cover/satin?ls=249857&lc=Satin London Gray

Axis Minors = Satin Granite

China CCP = Apple Red https://spraypaint.rustoleum.com/products/satin-thd?ls=334094&lc=Satin Apple Red

China KMT = Eden https://spraypaint.rustoleum.com/en/products/satin-thd?ls=334070&lc=Satin Eden

Free French = Aqua https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/painters-touch-2x-ultra-cover/satin/ Aqua

Germany = Canyon Black https://spraypaint.rustoleum.com/products/satin-thd?ls=346951&lc=Satin Canyon Black

Great Britain = Gloss Khaki

Italy = Brown Flat Protective Enamel

Japan = Satin Rustic Orange

Nationalist Spain = Satin Lemongrass
https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/painters-touch-2x-ultra-cover/satin/ Lemongrass

Neutrals = Blossom White
https://www.rustoleum.com/product-catalog/consumer-brands/painters-touch-2x-ultra-cover/satin/ Blossom White

Republican Spain = Aubergine https://spraypaint.rustoleum.com/products/satin-thd?ls=334060&lc=Satin Aubergine

USSR = Espresso https://spraypaint.rustoleum.com/products/satin-thd?ls=334066&lc=Satin Espresso

Vichy France = Glossy Brilliant Blue

Greetings, Customizing Experts!

Have people already figured out the best spray paint colors for matching OOB colors?

Here are the countries I’m interested in:
ANZAC
China
France
Germany
Great Britain
Germany
Italy
Japan
USA
USSR

Also, what brand do you guys recommend?

Thanks so much!

@insanehoshi Is there anyone in the world who has put more thought into how to organize and add clarity to Global War 36?!? Man, that table of his is a thing of beauty!!! If I win the lottery, I’m gonna somehow top it, just to give myself an impossible dream…

@insanehoshi said in GW1936 v3 2-Player Rules?:

You could also just run the game by summing the Comintern and Allies Victory conditions/points and removing the more adversarial ones so that They still only have 18 VPs.

To do this you could remove

• Soviet Union - Worldwide Communism 11
• CCP - Expel foreign Influence & Inflame the revolution 3
• GB - Contain Communism 1
• USA - Contain Communism 1
• France - Eliminate Communism 1
• KMT - Defeat the Communists 1

This way the Allies & Communist player, who i will call the United Nations (UN) from now on, would still only be able to achieve 18 victory conditions.

Cleverness!

@noneshallpass Excellent, None! 8 )

@insanehoshi I really like your Gold, Silver, Bronze color scheme for CV’s.

Off the cuff, I have two suggestions to play two-players.

First, I’d try allowing the Axis to play China CCP. This can represent negotiations between the Japanese and the CCP players that come to an accommodation. It might force the KMT player to aggressively attack the CCP early, or risk the CCP being used a force to attack the FEC if they become a major power.

Second, I’d have the Soviet/Allied player roll a die at the end of the game. 1-6, they only count their Allied points towards victory. 7-12, they only count the Soviet points. It would force the Soviet/Allied player to strive to win with both because they don’t know which one will be the one to count in the end.

Germany has amazing Heavy Armor. They have Tiger IE’s which give vehicle target selection on 1-3 instead of 1. I think that’s a good tech for Germany.

@gen-manstein Thanks so much, my friend!

Loved this:

It’s an inspiration!

Standardized Naval Unit Color Scheme
White – Transports, Attack Transports
Red (2) – Torpedo Boat Destroyers, Coastal Submarines
Orange (3) – Submarines
Yellow (4) – Destroyers, Adv. Submarines
Green (5) – Light Cruiser
Blue (6) – Coastal Defense Ship, Heavy Cruiser
Indigo (7) – Battlecruiser
Violet (8) – Battleship, Fast Battleship [Fluorescent Purple to distinguish from normal BB’s]
Black (10) – Heavy Battleship

@gen-manstein I want to see more of your board, Gen Manstein!!! This looks super interesting! Seems like you have all the victory objectives for each country laid out so people can see who has accomplished what. Post more pictures! Everything you have up because I think I’m your disciple. 8 )
