    I would say $500-$600 is on the low end, but like you said, it is an investment.

    I really appreciate your video (thank you!) and I love global war games and the ways we can customize it a bit, but it's outrageous how poorly packaged this game is. HBG lacks basic marketing skills on how to properly sell this product, leaving many potential customers at a loss. It's already hard to find players for out-of-box Axis & Allies, let alone monster (yet poorly marketed) games like this...

    Very informative. It should help those contemplating taking up this game. Hopefuuly when Global 1936v4 comes out there are not too many dfferences from the v3 map.

      @CobraWargaming  3 года назад +2

      Definitely, of course V4 is fairly far out, but from what I've heard so far, changes to rules to make the game more straightforward in some places will be a big part, there are a few map changes I would suggest but besides that, I think V3 is the pinnacle of WW2 wargaming.

      @@CobraWargaming My favorite A & A game of all time was Version 1 although it had some ambiguities. Version 2 was fun but had too many issues. I hope version 4 goes back towards version 1 in simplicity. Or maybe a fixed or slightly modified Version 1. It would be interesting to know their biggest seller of the 3 Versions.

    The 1942 Axis and Allies chips are smaller than the standard chips which you can use to identify different classes of a unit in tandem with the standard chips which denote more units

    Ive been outta the loop since Europe 1940 + Pacific 1940 = Global 1940 1st edition & this really sparks my interest. I was checking out "War Room" but this looks much more appealing & closer to the A&A games I grew up with & loved. Though that circular War Room game board is difficult to resist. Historical Board Gaming does have some cool pieces, perhaps not the highest quality but they do have the best roundel selection Ive found to date. I think all I would need is the Global 36 map, the rulebook & any new units (if any) introduced in Global 36, I could probably pick this up pretty cheap. Have you played Larry's War Room & if so which game would be more appealing to a life long A&A fan, "Global '36" or War Room? Thanks for all the tips, this game looks amazing.

      Thats always an issue with games like this, one thing to look forward to as the year progresses is Gaming events, such as GenCon. Usually people or even companies like HBG will bring games to be played at public events.
      I think those are one of the best ways to be able to play larger board games and find other players.
