@caesar-seriona Actually, it works well. Japan gets CCP until the Chinese Civil War ends or they declare war on China. Creates a real war. The CCP is trying to kill as many troops on either side. The Nationalists are trying to preserve as many. We play the long-game but I understand why Japan may leave China alone (same in G40).

Great ideas. Thanks.

Behind the Battle for Bryansk is an in-depth look at the units, dice, economic value, losses and surviving units across the battle and how these affected the Axis decision to call it quits.

@koala Thank you…

I looked that game up on HBG’s site and I noticed something that I had ignored on something else I bought - it may be what you need. In the description of the game, in the first paragraph, is a critical sentence: “Game rules and setup charts will be provided by a download link after purchase.”

Assuming you created an HBG account before you bought the game, your account on HBG has a link to download the game rules on your account page. Login to your account and go to the order you placed to get the game. Take a look on the order form. The line for your game should include a line that says: “Spanish Civil War Game Click Here to Download”. If you click on the “Click Here to Download” you will get one of two response: either a download of the pdf with the game rules, etc… or notice that says: “Download Expired”. If you get download expired, open a trouble ticket and ask for a new download link. You will have to wait for Doug, et al., to come back from the holidays, but they are attentive and helped me out (gave me another copy of my download) when I complained about my problem.

I hope the above helps you get your rules.

@sjelso Ozteas 41 is the best mod for G40 imo.

Sorry I may have misunderstood your question. Not real familiar with the Global war game. Seems way cool though : )

@Field-marshall said in Soviet Mountain Troops 1/72 - Ultima Ratio:

For starters just take a fine brush and apply a little wash in the bottom of any recessed areas to create the shadow effect. This is called “pin washing” and it is very effective at getting those details to pop out. You can make your own wash by taking a dark color paint and diluting it about 50/50.

Use dark dark brown on warm colors and black for cool colors for the wash?

Dry brushing is also almost like magic. First few times I did it, it wasn’t perfect but added a lot. After a few more tries,it just gets better.

I haven’t painted anything in years.

@Black_Elk Good luck! Let me know how it works out.

Not mine pic. The creator had posted it over on Kickstarter here

@zawodowiec777 said in Event Cards - Weather, Tech, Tactical, etc.:

Can I get your mechanics ?

PM me your e mail. Ill send you my list.

Good info…thanks!

Thanks, will give that try.  The other/combined issue is that it is so pliable that the plastic bends and the paint peels off also.  Might even try a dip in super glue or something.

We have been playing CDG’s 1939 v3 set-up with a neutrals variant and it is great.  Is anyone aware of a pre-1939 alternate set-up worth trying?

Thanks…MF

This is an issue I wish the game by vanilla would just let you turn over control of territory to your allies as this happened a lot between Germany and Italy. I have allowed enemies forces to capture a territory just so I can turn it over to another.

Where are USA planes hitting SZ19 coming from/landing?

Yeah, the issue is that I would like Ethopia in USSR hands, it is one that is avoidable, like I said, I have seen a USSR marker on it but I wasn’t playing this game so I didn’t see how it came. However, I usually have no problem getting to Somalia, and the northern African territories can be confusing because in my case, UK had Italy on a stalemate front line not pressing so Italy had no reason to assume what I was doing until of course he saw me bring my mech. into Africa.

Look good and will take up less real-estate.

@R:

To reduce the footprint on the board created just the crane to represent the Shipyard.  What do you think?

Answer is no!

Just remember only the Europe rule book has the rules about straits.
Only the Pacific rule book has the China and Kamikaze rules.

Can’t think of any others. You would think both rule books could insert those sections into the global rules section at the end.

@sjelso:

Question:  Is it possible to build more than one industrial complex in the same territory.

The thought is, with Germany strategic bombing London (or vice versa), build another IC instead of repairing.  Then keep both repaired.  The Germans would have to split bombers and possibly face more AAA from each IC.

Thanks in advance for any comments or clarification.

You can only have one IC per territory.
