Well I guess you could do it another way

Like here’s Europe 40’s Axis and Allies victory:
Berlin, Warsaw, Rome, Cairo, Paris, Leningrad, Stalingrad, and Moscow
Heres Pacific 40
Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Manila, Calcutta, Sydney

Now I guess you could take London and not take like Sydney so like taking 5 on Pacific and 9 on Europe.

@Flashman:

If both sides are all killed in the battle, you have to improvise some sort of “pro-Axis” marker for Sweden until it is occupied.

No, you don’t, because all strict neutrals are now pro-Axis.  However, until a power claims the territory, you do need to indicate somehow that the Swedish army has been used up.  An upside down control marker works well.

Pretty much why I’ve always said that the roundels on the territories should all be from 1939, so you can simply place control markers according to the various starting set-ups.

For 1939 Netherlands should have the Dutch roundel as depicted, for a 1940 start it would be the inverted orange triangle symbol adopted to avoid confusion with the British and French red-white-blue colours.

“On its next turn”, not “for the next turn”.

Thank you!

Good to know, and if I remember correctly Global rules supersede all the others. Just as a rule of thumb.

All the more reason to hurry up and be the 24th so we can all have fun playing out the scenarios!

Perhaps they didn’t have electric blankets…

Or maybe they just didn’t rate the Japanese fleet as a threat.  But anyway, it’d be nice to have the option.

Hey Wilson, love your sig man!

Thanks Krieghund.

I played it. DJensen is correct.

yes it comes with global rules.

This gives Japan a huge incentive to invade Russia the round that Germany invades in order to deny the Russians that NO, and in so doing changes the outcome of our AAP 40 games where Japan has no need to worry about Russia.  So, while this rule is outrageous it could also aid the Allies by forcing Japan to change the current script of a J3/4 taking of India.
