Thanks for confirming.

Does anyone else find this silly?  Does anyone house-rule it to allow NCM walk-ons, like when taking control of a friendly neutral?

@Bravehart:

Here is the 2nd edition set up for you. Hope this helps!

It does, thanks!  I know some people already found mistakes, but even close is better than nothing, which is what we had before.

Now I can finally start planning my strategies while I wait for the next gaming window…

We could fix this problem easily if someone volunteers to take a good photo next time they’re about to play Global 1940 and then uploads it.  I’d do it, but I don’t own a set; my friend does, but he’s unavailable for the next few months.

…Because it keeps crashing on my desktop, but I appreciate what would otherwise have been a good suggestion.

Though really, one shouldn’t have to install a large Java program just to get the equivalent info of a good photo.  …

It’s not only for that of course, but for comfortable online and offline gaming, too.
If you are interested just post some more information about your system and your problems running TripleA in the Software section.
Then we could try to sort it out, just an offer…

Ubuntu 15.10, it keeps freezing during the game (not accepting input) requiring a restart.

@P@nther:

Why don’t you use TripleA for that purpose?

Because it keeps crashing on my desktop, but I appreciate what would otherwise have been a good suggestion.

Though really, one shouldn’t have to install a large Java program just to get the equivalent info of a good photo.  I’m fairly shocked I didn’t find one on google image search.  I suppose next time I set up the board I could take a photo myself, but it’s the internet – I can’t imagine no one’s done it already.

Has anyone found a good quality photo of the Global 1940 2nd Edition setup?  I often want to see it while brainstorming about opening strategies, but all the ones I found on google are either incorrect or not of the initial setup.

@creeping-deth87:

There’s no oversight there at all, it would be pretty ridiculous if it worked the way you think it did. Britain would gobble up plenty of French IPCs in Africa and Madagascar without risking any units if it were that simple.

Yes, they’d pick up a few IPCs.  But it’s ridiculous that they’re not allowed to go in and take over that tax base while France’s enemies can.  There’s no logic in that.

Besides, doesn’t everyone here think Allies is disadvantaged to begin with anyway?  I’m new to Global 1940, but that’s what I’ve been told is the current consensus.

Thanks for confirming.

I recently heard something in a Cliffside Bunker video that shocked me – if you have an ally without a capital (like France after G1), you can’t take control of their territories just by walking in; you have to wait until an opponent takes control of it, then take it from them.

I checked the rules, and the example of taking control of a capital-less ally’s territory are in the Conclude Combat section.  Since there’s no combat involved in moving into an ally’s territory, I guess that’s technically correct.

But it seems like a ridiculous oversight.
