We use the game Tabletop Simulator to play our games online. Someone has spent a lot of time really making a nice mod for the game that has everything needed to play the game and then some!

I do still play on my table, but for the summer I have not been able to roll out the map for a YT war as I am in a different space for another month yet. Since it will be a while yet I might have to let you guys get going without me this time around, but I appreciate the offer so keep me in mind if you guys finish and want a round 2!

@@EliteGolden I appreciate it man, I will definitely keep you in mind for next game.

Haha, unfortunately, that is correct. Historical Board Gaming sells their game as just the map to play on and all the player aids. It is a good idea to use Axis and Allies 1914 pieces since it is a similar game in so far as the style of the game which will take care of most of the playing components, but then building out the rest of the game takes lots more money and time! Great game in my opinion, but surely one that cannot be purchased in a single day. I have slowly upgraded my game from colored chips to units over the course of a few years

@@EliteGolden sounds like a scam to me bro. Once they get their head out of their ass I'll buy

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback!

@@CaptainG9318 thank you so much, I’ll DM you on Facebook soon here!

I made them myself with a 3D printer. Took a long while but I think it makes the board look so much better!

@@EliteGolden They are gorgeous. Well done.

Thank you so much for the view and the comment, Hilltop Pillbox! I have found that my technology house rule does tilt the game, but proportionally to the way the game was already going. What I mean by that is if a nation is collecting a lot of money, then they get to roll a lot of tech so it speeds up the game in favor of those who have more money and are presumably already closer to victory. I still have A LOT of playtesting before it comes close to being more balanced, but I rationalize the pitfall as speeding the game up where one side can more easily snowball to victory instead of being forced to slog out an already lengthy game. Thanks for the rules clarification, I have so many rulebooks in my head between all the Axis and Allies titles, Global War 1939, '36, and '14 I may never get through a game perfectly! Your remote game sounds like a fun one for sure especially with tipping points about to take place on both sides where Russia is holding and the Americans are at bay, very interesting! I always love to hear how games go for others and what strategies work or do not go so well. Perhaps the path to victory for you in that game lies in the Pacific with the loss of the FEC and the dormant nature of the US. If you are wanting to get a game in and are looking for another player, just give me a shout!

@@EliteGolden Interesting thoughts. I think the main reason tech works so well in GW36 and GW39 is simply the D12 system. By increasing attack or defense by 8.5%, it's not game-breaking. A 16.7% shift can be. Yes, the G40 game I'm in right now is compelling. He is a stronger player, to be sure, as I play every version out there and haven't focused on getting strong on any specific one. I understand the troubles with multiple rule books swirling around your head! The U.S. isn't "dormant", per se, just having to pause and reconsider, now that I lured him to Johnson Island (no port) and have a massive fleet in the Carolines. He can't attack, and I really can't attack him when he returns to Pearl. But, the longer that stand-off goes, the more Japanese tanks rip around the Middle East and (hopefully) into the USSR. If you are interested, please send me an email at hilltoppillbox@gmail.com and let me know when you are available. I have another guy on the line wanting to do a GW39 game in September, so that might work. Let me know! I'm off to Italy tomorrow until August, so I won't be putting any content out, but feel free to leave me an email, and I will catch up when I return. Cheers!

The game is Global War 1936 by Historical Board Gaming. It’s a really fun game that is a step up from Axis and Allies

I totally agree, kinda tough for in person games since some is gonna have a tough time the rest of the game. But of course it’s a tournament so everyone is trying scrounge up as many points as possible! Crazy that strat bombers in Romania can pull that off

I 3D printed them myself actually, it was a lot of fun but also it a while! I think Historical Board Gaming sells something similar if you really like them.

Thank you for watching the video so closely! Some of the other guys in the game noticed that as well so we got that fixed right up. If only I would have panned down a little further the defensive battle board.

Haha, you are right. The substance of the song does not really fit the substance of the video, but it is such a great song I just have to use it!

Renegade Game Studios just put out a reprint of this game. Here is a link to their web page. renegadegamestudios.com/axis-allies-1914/

​@@EliteGolden okey thank you

You are sure correct about that! They are strong yet!

I have custom made my own markers using a 3D printer. A similar item can be found on the website Historical Board Gaming

Thank you for the feedback, I will try to work on that so the intro and video portion are more tuned

The game is called Global War 1936. It is similar to Axis and Allies or Risk, but a little bigger! The game is made by Historical Board Gaming

@@EliteGolden Thanks, nice vídeo

Thank you for the feedback. I’ll try to get that fixed

I am very glad you enjoyed the video. As for the customs, all the playing pieces either came from the game (Axis and Allies 1914) or from Historical Board Gaming. HBG makes a lot of fantastic A&A style miniatures and I have definitely made my fair share of orders from there! The flags are my own personal custom creations that I 3D printed with the machine I have. I think the closest thing to them on the open market would be an acrylic flag that Historical Board Gaming also carries. Again, thank you very much for your viewership. I hope to find some time to put together some more of these videos soon!

Thanks for the comment. Should be a good game ahead

It has been a really fun game to try out the early war Axis strategy! However, the Allied response proved to be too much for Italy in this game, haha! Rome falling to Free France is not something I thought I would ever see!

@@EliteGolden it didn’t help that Italy was diced every single early battle

@@timewarp1994 I do feel bad a little for MP7 this game. His luck was only good enough to let him take the major objectives, but nothing more. The turn where his aircraft all missed in just about every battle he had was funny to watch, but also as his teammate I just wanted some things to go a little better for him. The Allies did a great job capitalizing on the unfortunate situation MP7 found himself in after each round. Really fun game, but even with MP7's bad luck, the Axis are still squarely in the driver's seat so I think this strategy may be a little overpowered...

The game is called Global War 1936. It is the fourth version of the game and it’s made by Historical Board Gaming. It’s similar to Risk or Axis & Allies

@@EliteGolden K

global war 1936

@@dkoo232 thanks

ruclips.net/video/GP299_-jWJ4/видео.html no problem :)

The song is a fun remix of a WW2 Japanese battle song "Battotai" Here is the link to the song that I am using - ruclips.net/video/RbIYecFybLw/видео.html

@@EliteGolden thx

Amazon or from the Renegade Games website, it’s 2 games (Axis & Allies Europe 1940 and Pacific 1940) combined, there’s also a couple smaller A&A games as well (1941, 1942). 1941 is also available from some** Barnes & Nobles

I have only played two games and neither lasted past 1916, but my thoughts on balance for the game is that the game is very Entente weighted. I think the game tries to make up for that fact by handing so many of the random events to the Central Powers, but those do not make or break the game especially when you can plan for certain ones in advance to mitigate the possible effects. The Central Powers can do well enough in the beginning, but with enough coordination, the advances on all fronts can be ground to a halt. Even if the Central Powers got Japan and Italy on their side, I think that would not be enough to win. Funny enough Japan going Central Powers feels like a death sentence since the USA climbs in income so much faster with every action the Japanese take. An extremely fun game all in all though, and perhaps my playgroup was playing with too many WW2 strategies, but until I can find a decent Central Powers strategy I think that the Entente will reliably win.

Thanks for your reply. I have similar thoughts but like you I have only played about 4 games, but complete games. My opponent and I are took 1-2 games to remember to use special units, cash and carry ect-which helped the Central powers, but now 4 games in we are playing more optimally and the Entente seem favored. However 4 games is admittedly not enough to try all available Central strategies @@EliteGolden

The song is a rendition of Bella Ciao from the game Hearts of Iron 4. Here is the link to the full song. ruclips.net/video/u-qTuXDEnFo/видео.html

Great game Tactical! It was a fun game through and through, but those dice just weren’t on our side enough sadly

@@EliteGolden Will get them next time for sure !

Thank you very much, I am glad you like all the upgrades! Many of the things that I use on the board I actually made myself with a 3D printer, so unfortunately there was nothing to really unbox, haha. As for the many pieces that I use as units, they come from either the base game or Historical Board Gaming. I have spent more money on HBG products than I would like to admit, but since I have been collecting for many years at this point, I had already bought many units before starting my RUclips channel. Also, HBG is the provider I bought the metal flight stands and the national build plates from. I hope this helps and I would be happy to elaborate on anything to assist as well! I always thought that tricking out this game was almost as fun as actually playing it

Thanks for the reply! I'm very much at the beginning of this journey, but if I can get my game half as pretty as yours looks I'll be a happy man! I was worried you'd say most was 3D printed; I can't quite justify buying one yet ha I'll definitely check out HBG for the flight stands - if you have a commission link or anything, let me know and I can make sure to use it when I buy In terms of the colour tips you have on the aircraft & ships - these look like the out of the box pieces but with tips added? Can you explain what/how you've added these as my players & I often have issues easily distinguishing between these at a glance while playing Thanks!

@@chicken312281 The colored tips on the aircraft and ships are for easy identification. Many of my friends have had a tough time with it in the past so this just makes it easier. All of the pieces are from the out-of-box game, so no extras there. All I did was go to my local board gaming store and get some figurine paint. Then it is up to you on what colors you want to denote what unit and where to paint it. I chose the front, back, and superstructure of each boat so that the color is visible, but not overbearing.

You’re totally correct. The other guys around the table also mentioned that to me so it will be fixed come the German turn

I appreciate the comment. It was a very fun game (and a long one at that) but the best part was to see the swinging balance of power. It was either side's game for the vast majority of the turns!

Haha, I did not notice that! Good catch, but I assure you that no French or German artillery pieces hit any harder. No matter how cool they look.

Thank you for the comment about the technology, I also like when players can just receive the ability to go for tech rather than seek it out for money. When that burden is put on the players I find that they will almost never go for technology. As for the reason there was no aggressive Japan or naval battle, that can be chalked up to Japan wanting to face one challenge at a time. I almost always go for a defeat of China first (which has its pros and cons) then turn to India and the USA. I am currently beginning to record another gameplay video so perhaps I will make Japan a bit more aggressive just to see how Japan with the tech rules plays out against the Allies. Maybe Japan will get some good luck on naval tech!

The polyhedral dice?

If you have a local gamestore, you can find them VERY cheap. I use them for old school Dungeons & Dragons.

A number of years ago now I purchased them from Historical Board Gaming, but I do not think they carry them anymore. One option is to get the Hit Dice from Renegade Studios which will be releasing later this year. Another option is to go to your local gaming store and look there or even purchase blank dice and put stickers on the sides you want to denote. They sure do make rolling out battles faster. Happy hunting!

@@EliteGolden I pre-ordered the new Renegade dice a couple weeks ago ;-)
