Video

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

czcams.com/video/GP299_-jWJ4/video.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 - czcams.com/video/RbIYecFybLw/video.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. czcams.com/video/u-qTuXDEnFo/video.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 CZcams 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 ;-)

Thank you for pointing that out, I’ll have to chat with the guys and fix that.

I would rather look at it as a new beginning! Plenty of game left, who knows what will happen…

Thank you for the comment! All the flags on the board (and a majority of everything else that is not a fighting unit) I 3D printed myself. I use a filament 3D printer for almost everything and the color comes from swapping out the color at different layer heights.

This game is Global War 1936. It’s the fourth version and made by Historical Board Gaming. It’s similar to Risk and Axis & Allies, just much more expansive. Very fun game!

@@EliteGolden Is it available on Steam?

@@MIMALECKIPL we are currently playing it on Tabletop Simulator, which is a game on Steam. Someone has made it available for download there from the workshop as a game with all the bells and whistles you could ever need, I know I’m quite thankful for that!

Thanks man! Hopefully we get put into the same game in the tournament sometime soon, our last game was a lot of fun.

It is a little more difficult since I already know what each side is thinking, but I try to establish a strategy for each country to stick to overall and the smaller movements that happen each turn are just reactions to what the adversaries have done before them. Not quite as good a game as with friends, but at least I get to roll some dice anyway!

Don’t we all! Just wait until next week though, I’ll have something much cooler to show than some little pieces…

Thank you for watching! I did make all the flags and infantry bases. They are 3D printed using colored filament.
