While not official thought I’d offer my opinion. With maybe helping out with a new thought process for your group…or confirm what your group was already thinking along.

@Raider:

Have these questions been OFFICIALLY addressed:

1. When EXACTLY does a player activate a pro axis/allied neutral to his side? During CM, NCM, or both?

Are air units allowed to land in neutrals that are pro your side? (sorry if you already went through this).

This game originally was just a modified Global 1940 from my understanding and in that version you walked into the Pro-(your side) neutral during the NCM. In the rule book 6.1 Global 39’ it also mentions on page 12 that’s when you can walk through friendly neutrals. Or at least with the 40’ Global game that is how I read it. Maybe “assuming” to much, but with the knowledge this is a tweaked Global 1940 I would fathom that’s why it was missed being addressed.

@Raider:

2a) Can you fly in air units to defend a pro to your side neutral before you activate it

I would say no since you can’t go into it except during NCM. That’s only my opinion and still pretty new to Global 39’, but it comes back to not able to in Global 1940.

@Raider:

2b) Can you fly in air units to reinforce a territory the same turn you activated it?

Page 12 under section 6 says “Land units may move into friendly territories including the ones captured this turn, as long as they do not move through hostile territories.” With that knowledge I would say yes.

@Raider:

2c) If you NCM an inf w/bomber transport to activate a pro neutral, can the bomber land there too (same question as above really)?

My first instinct was to say no since not your territory at the start but….

Page 12 section 6 says, “Friendly territories include pro-neutrals of your side. Air units may fly over hostile territories, but must land in either a friendly territory that was friendly at the beginning of your turn, or on a friendly carrier by the end of the Place New Units phase.”
Notice the first sentence so I would be leaning towards yes.

@Raider:

3. Are players aren’t allowed to move the newly activated units the turn they are activated. If so, does one just swap them out and the activated units are stuck there until the next player turn ?

Once again I am going back to Global 1940 for support, since as mentioned this is just a major tweak of that game, that those units do have to stay there the turn the country was activated. But can be reinforced with units if able to not travel through hostile territory.

Which if said country is surrounded by the “bad guys” not sure just flying a parachute division/regiment would be the best option.

Of course by no way official answers, this is how I read the rules with knowing it was originally advertised as a tweak of Global 1940.

Apologize if you didn’t want anybody answering except the makers but I find trying to answer other peoples questions is sometimes the best way to learn a game for myself.

@thenorthman:

Hmmmm now have to decide if want to grab 39’ version or wait until 36’ map……

Decided on 39’ map. Then will pick up 36’ version later. Heck 39’ map can always be used for a game room decoration once get 36’ map. ;-)

@Tall:

––IMHO, Global Warfare-1939 is proving to be the BEST A&A game yet! And next year’s 1934/36/39 version should be the ULTIMATE in A&A wargaming.

Happy Holidays,
“Tall Paul”

It does sound very interesting!

Hmmmm now have to decide if want to grab 39’ version or wait until 36’ map……

@FieldMarshalGames:

87 views and only 10 votes?   Hmmmm

I personally would want the small dice though……

@Gargantua:

Get em Warrior.

Get em…

A little interested to see if anything occurred or what the outcome was……like reading a book missing the last chapters.

Here is a god solution.  It can fill in as a kitchen table and you also have a game space that gets covered up so no movement is necessary of the board.

LOL

I spend $100 to buy this game, you dont see me laughing, buddy.

I am laughing at you.

Plus why did you spend $100.  I got mine for $60.  LOL

Plus you actually act like your the age where some one else would of bought the game for you.

@miragehunter:

I printed up your new cards and noticed that the attack defend values are not right.

Which cards?  Or are you saying all of them.  I have not looked closely yet

EDIT:

Yep your right.  The naval units attack and defense say “ATTACK 3” and “DEFENSE 4” for almost all the units.

Still sharp looking cards.

@Hobbes:

On that situation there’s an exception to the rules, according to the official FAQ:

If it aint in the Rulebook, it is a houserule.

And all houserules are optional.

You got a weak case if it was in a court.

LOL

@Tragedy:

Thanks as always for the quick response.

Sooo, 3 hops for a plane to go from Aleutian to Alaska?  :-D

That would be right.  Plus it is right for actual distances. When the Alaska Marine Highway system goes to Unalaska it takes a good week and basically disrupts its schedule to do it once every three weeks.

By plane while faster still has about 1,000 miles to travel from Anchorage to Dutch Harbor / Unalaska.

@Razor:

Hey, I love carriers, and we all still need them when we want to well do that old trick you know, butt when that is said, no WWII-carrier deserve a two-hit capability, no sir.

This is my point.

Got it ?

LOL

@Razor:

In fact, Chines units did cross the Yalu river and combat-moved into Korea in 27 june 1950 just to attack some enemy forces there.

While this may be a fact it does not apply to World War II and the political situation of the time.  China’s current rulers for the most part were in control at this time so of course then they would have expansionist feelings.

Your comparing Apples to Oranges by the attack they did during the Korean War.

@Yoper:

As to the manufacturing place has a two-week holiday…that would be nice but that also tells me it might be a Chinese holiday.

That or it is just Jeremy’s fellow Canadians making a break for warmer climes at this time of the year.  :lol:

Or they are big Winter Olympics fans.  :-D

Yea, forgot about the Olympics.  Even though I have been watching them on TIVO.

@FieldMarshalGames:

@Brain:

Yeah but are the molds being made or are they already made?

The ITALIAN mold will be made soon.  Just have to finish up the planes and a few odds n ends.

In the interests of funding this project and to make sure everyone gets them sooner than later we will release the Nations as we go…  and have a COMPLETE set for sale at the end.

Well for me that just means picking up each nation as they come out (provided shipping isn’t and issue. :O) ) and then the complete set at the end.  :mrgreen:

What Italian fighters are you looking at?

FIGHTERS
  Fiat G.50 Freccia
  Fiat G.55 I Centauro
  Macchi MC.200 Saetta
  Macchi MC.202 Folgore
  Macchi MC.205V Veltro
  Reggiane Re.2000 Falco
  Reggiane Ariete
  Reggiane Re.2002
  Reggiane Ariete II
  Reggiane Sagittario

Personally I like the  Macchi MC.200 Saetta.  Mainly because it has a very distinct shape from other fighters of the period. With how the engine cowling is.

As to the manufacturing place has a two-week holiday…that would be nice but that also tells me it might be a Chinese holiday.

At any rate great job and am loving my three sets of dice!  Although I have not played a game with them yet.

Well let me take that back.  My 2 year old and me have lined them up in side the new dice tower as well. Then have the WOW factor when we roll them in the dice tower.

“Oh wow”  “Oh Jeeze” are a few of his sayings right now.  :-D

Sean

Yes thank you.  If I said that already thanks again!!! :mrgreen:

Uruguay was another one of those nations that were neutral but let other nations use its bases.

Then there is Argentina.

Plus as to the tank thing in Mongolia I believe a tank in Axis and Allies is more than just a few tanks.  Like an Infantry unit being more than just a few troops.

Sean

Always fun.

I do like it. (Noticed you or somebody with the same screen name is on the forums over their as well now.)

While it can take all day it is fun.  I like the planning for production and amphibious assaults in terms of the money it takes.  If you spend all your money you can not do amphibious assaults.  Then the production aspect of possibly stalling a production of an item. For example a carrier takes four turns to be fully funded in production before it comes out. Kind of like a real world production in terms of it coming out. You do not decide for a carrier to come out the next six months but rather can take two to three years.

Think the Midway class CV was started in 42’ and didn’t come out until 44?  Perhaps wrong but it was along those lines.  SO yes I really like that aspect of it. Of course perhaps the reason I will be graduating in May with a B.A.A. in Global Logistics and Supply Chain Management.  :mrgreen:

Of course I do not like it with the potential 7 players. (Some of it might just be I do not like one of the players that play with my group if we do have that many.)  :evil:

But yes I really enjoy it.  Just hope that if I get the job I am looking at when I graduate and move from Alaska to WV I’ll be able to find a group that will play it. I do have a table that it can be stored in that gets covered up. (Plug for Geek Chic gaming tables.)

Got mine today and one of the wings was a little discolored like has been mentioned but am quite happy they followed through.
