Hi everyone,

I really enjoy creating and testing house rules for Axis & Allies, especially Global 1940, and I’d love to hear what the community thinks works best.
Some questions to get the discussion going:
What are your favorite house rules and why?
Do you use rules mainly for balance, historical accuracy, or fun/speed of play?
Are there any house rules you tried that didn’t work as expected?
I’m always looking for new ideas and I’d love to exchange thoughts or even collaborate on refining house rules.
Looking forward to hearing your opinions!

Hi everyone,

I’m interested in getting into Global War by Historical Board Gaming, especially Global War 1936 and Global War 1914, but I’m not completely sure what the best way to start is.
There seem to be many options (starter kits, expansions, maps, pieces, shipping choices), and as someone new to Global War, I’d really appreciate some guidance:
What is the minimum recommended setup to play and enjoy the game?
Is it better to start small and expand later, or buy a more complete package from the beginning?
Are there any must-have components or common beginner mistakes to avoid?
Would you recommend starting with 1936 or 1914, and why?
I’m especially interested in advice from players who started recently and learned what works best.
Thanks in advance for any help!
