Hello I have some questions regarding the combat phase of this game. The rule book states that any excess hits beyond those necessary to eliminate defending units are assigned to zombies. Okay that’s simple. But then the rules say that each roll of the special symbol will hit a zombie and each zombie unit that is hit is removed from the battle board. So does this mean a special symbol is an instant kill before the remove casualties step? Then the rule books says in step 7 to remove all casualties including zombies. Well it’s sort of a contradiction to the insta kill symbol. Here is an example of combat we had.

Attacker has 2 infantry and 2 tanks. Defender has 2 infantry and 1 zombie is present. Attackers get 4 hits and defenders and zombies get none. At what point are zombies taken as casualties? What according to this example would the outcome be? Any clarification would help.

@seancb Hey sean and @Mr-Piper I live in the middle of Houston and do not mind traveling a bit to get some games in. Where do you guys normally play? Myself and a friend would be interested in joining.

Thank you guys for the updated timeline of 3rd Edition and also to @GeneralHandGrenade for the links to the Ships. This will be helpful in determining what I need to finish buying so I can be set for the third edition.

Does any one know when the third edition will be released? I saw a page for it on board game geek but no mention of a release date or on the HBG website. Throughout the past year I have been slowly gathering all the pieces and expansion I want for Global War. I don’t mind waiting a bit more for updated rules and map.

One more thing. Anyone know if new sculpts will be created for Heavy Carrier, Fast Battle Ships, Heavy and Light Cruisers? That’s already a lot of new naval units.

Hey that’s not a bad idea to replace the entire OOB set with my spare 42’ game. Still its a shame that I have to this. Reminds me of the Japanese tac bomber fiasco back when Pacific 1940 1st edition was released.

Are there any other A&A games that have the same color scheme as zombies? I tried combining pieces from A&A 42 1st edition but noticed the colors were slightly off. I know HBG sells pieces but they are currently out of UK and Japanese (Which I need). I just wanted to check if I missed any other A&A game that matches colors.

Thank you for the clarification. Knowing that you can’t kill the to-be-created zombies helps a lot and I can go through the combat phase correctly now. Bad news is I need to start a new game.

I am looking to see if anyone has a new or used Global War 1936-1945 map for sale. I am looking for the 48"x 96" version. HBG is sold out of this size and I tried calling to see if they would restock soon but nobody answers. Also in the comments on HBG’s website someone has asked for a restock since January but no official answer yet.

I know this thread is old but I live in Houston,TX and have been looking for A&A player groups. If you guys still play or need another player I am open.
