No thank you, I don’t have the time. So you’re reducing the IPC value of Japan whilst giving fixed bonuses? Hmm, that does limit Japan’s options and would definitely be a slight nerf.
Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion

@barnee
Yes - in example 2, only 1 Waffen-SS Army is active during the attack, since only 1 Army (any kind) can be active in the same territory.If these two Waffen-SS Armies were part of an Army Group, the German player would have 2 dice at “4” during the attack in each round of combat for as long as the Army Group is intact.
During board games, of course it is much easier to maneuver these complex formations.
The major advantage in TripleA is, that you can agree on the time frame in which to play the game - this could be several months - and you could even play several games simultaneously.
This option is - mostly - not possible during FTF.
Nonetheless, no matter if you play FTF or TripleA - once you,ve played Global 1940 with the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion - there is no going back…

@the-captain :+1:
Loving it myself : )
Keeping track of the Armies and Groups requires some diligence, but hey, triplea does most of it for ya :)

@The-Captain does UK need to be at war with Japan to destroy it’s Pacific facilities ?
-
Any Nation - even if not at War - can destroy a facility that this Nation controls from the start of that turn.
To destroy a factory/industrial complex, it must be converted to an Underground Factory on a previous turn - and it must also be controlled from the start of the turn where it is destroyed.
The Soviet Union has - as the only Nation - the option to destroy any of its industrial complexes any time during the game.
This is described in detail at page 21 :+1:

@the-captain right on I just dusted Singapore’s harbor lol

We’ll soon release the Axis & Allies Global 1940 Basic House Rules Expansion.
The purpose is to give players a more manageable approach to the use of the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
More about this later, at the release date.
-
@the-captain Good idea simplifying the Rules, your current house rules can be difficult+confusing to the uninitiated(namely Me)!!!
-
@nolimit yea takes a while. i think this is month 4 and still learning : )
@The-Captain You guys probably already got it crunched out but : ) one thing I was thinking would be to have the Army Group just activate another Army instead of itself. You’d still need the extra 10 dudes to form one.
Just a thought. Looking forward to what you guys came up with.
Edit
Thinking a bit more and 2 Tank Armies might be a bit overpowered. You could have 1 of each required but that’d leave the Americans out. Oh well too bad for them lolOk last edit You’d get 3 @3 on the attack vs 2 @4. The 3’s definitely better but the 2 @ 5 on D idk. I haven’t done the math but I’d probably take that. Anyway I’ll stop. RD 3 Japan right now : )
-
@barnee went ahead and ran it out on triplea battle calculator. The 20 tanks hittin at 3 come out better than the 16 and the 2 Big 5 hitters. Maybe it depends on number of units but still slightly better 4 % where as on offense it was 10 % or even a bit more.
I guess if I get real obsessed I’ll do the math : ) but yea it’d be what you’d expect. Stronger on offense D just a bit weaker which I didn’t expect but not surprised. i’d probably still take the 5 hitters in a dice game lol

@barnee
Remember;Only 1 Tank Army can be active in each territory.
If you have 2 Tank Armies in the same territory - no matter if they are part of an Army Group or not - only 1 Tank Army is active. The total number of dice rolls for these 2 Tank Armies would be 16 (10 dice for the Tank Army that is active - and 6 dice for the second Tank Army).
This is the case both during attack and defense.
-
@the-captain yea that’s one of the things you have to check. When to activate or deactivate. I haven’t got too far yet but I like the idea of it encouraging you to have multiple Armies instead of just one big stack.
-
@barnee
When you get to Global 1943 setup, you’ll also see the Armies spread out from north to south on the Eastern Front.The Germans are in a position to form Army Groups North, Center and South in just 2 rounds.
Basically, this is what the Germans should always try to achieve (not only in Global 1943 Expansion) - beginning with planning and execution already from Early 1940.
-
Rules Clarification is now added - next to the RULEBOOK, Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
-
@the-captain Right on Where is Rulebook at again ? I don’t seem to see it.
Hey started fixing the Pacific Islands. Got it tested just a matter of rewriting now. Hopefully today or tomorrow. Probably 6-8 hours or so. Once I get started i tend to be a little obsessive, so we’ll see how it goes lol
-
RULEBOOK is at page 1 in this Topic… release date 20th April 2021… all your work with G40 Expansion is based on that rulebook :relaxed:
-
@the-captain ahh i didn’t see a notification. i thought it did that when posts got edited. Cool I’ll check it out : )
-
@The-Captain Awesome ! Love it ! Well done :)
Kinda bummed i can’t air transport landmines but oh well : )
Looks very professional. Whoever does the graphic/ format or w/e it’s called : ) nice job. A couple minor things I noticed. You probably want to reword this in land mines:
“However, they do not defend if the enemy retreats
from combat during this minefield.”Maybe “during combat” or “when in combat” or something.
The other one was a simple typo:
These 2 Tactical Bombers
cannot support the Tank units inside “then” Soviet
Tank Army.Obviously meant the. As you know not being overly critical :) just wanted to point it out.
Once again, well done :grin:
-
Great - I’ll correct these sentences:relaxed:
The graphic/format I make myself, using Publisher.
Thanks, by the way:+1: :+1:
