I remember seeing somewhere in the myriad of posts that Anzac can build capital ships. My question is,  Can they in fact build them? And if they can does this change the fact that Calcutta cannot?

Pg. 32 of the rules states which fortifications befend against attacks from which areas. If a new one is built, does it defend against any attack??

@CWO:

@Larrie:

Does the CWO stand for Chief Warrant Officer by any chance?

Yes indeed, but in my case it’s just part of my board name; I’m actually a civilian (though one with a great interest in naval history).  As far as Global War goes, I own a copy of the vinyl map but I’ve never seen the rules.  What do they say (if anything) in particular about capital ships, just out of curiosity?

The rules state that capital ships cannot be built in Calcutta or Sydney.

Thank you CWO Mark. Does the CWO stand for Chief Warrant Officer by any chance? And yes, I was hoping to find out how it applies to Global War 1939, our group has a game coming up this weekend.

Are Cruisers considered capital ships?

@cminke:

i found a spelling mestake.  Leningrad is spelt lenongrad.  also wheres the set up for this?

I found another one???

Anzac and FEC move and attack at the same time. Does this mean that they are allowed to attack together ie the same defender??? Also, does this allow Anzac for instance to load onto an FEC transport then the transport move and then unload for an amphibious assault???

The rules state that Japan can only build a minor in Siam. So is this unlike the axis minor rule with Germany and Romania for instance? The reason for the question is that Siam would qualify for major due to its value ie Romania to Germany. Also, does this mean that Japan can not build anywhere else? For example, on the tt it starts with on the mainland?

The rules state that Germany can build an IC on axis minors that qualify. Can Germany build the IC on the turn they activate the minor or do you have to activate and then build the IC on the next turn?

Do you need an airbase in order to intercept SBR?

Thanks, that is the way we played it. Wasn’t sure though.

Does Communist China start with any money?

Are you sure they have two ships? My set up says Destroyer and that is all.

So, do these two lose all or half of their IPC’s once the capital falls?

It was one of the guys in our group. He says he got them from Board Game Geek.

Then, am I to assume that per the rules, a minor IC can only be upgraded to major if it is located on a territory that has a value of 3 or more? tha if this one is retaken by Russia, that it will remain minor?

I see that the IC (no pun intended) in Karelia is a major on a 2 ipc tt. How can that be? Or was it intended that after capture by the axis and then retaken by Russia that it now cannot be upgraded to a major again?

I am sure this has been stated but cannot find it. Can an axis minor, say Finland for example, attack the same territory as Germany on the same round? Not with the intention of using any combined arms advantages, just simply Finland attacks, softens the opponent and then Germany mops up, or vice versa.

This copy says,  Armor (Special) SS Panzer- Germany can build 2 per turn up to 4 total, starting on turn 2. Get one unit free on turn 6. SS Tiger- Germany can build 1 per turn, up to 4 total starting on turn 4. Can move 2 in NCM but cannot blitz. Get one unit free on turn 6. This information was downloaded at the same time as version 6.1 of the rules so we thought that this was the most current!!!

My bad, it is not in the rules, but it is on the set up sheet for Germany. Toward the middle of the sheet it mentions special units and there is a build limit, and mention of a free Panzer and Tiger on turn 6.
