Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion

[The Captain]

@barnee

Soviet Partisan units do not control a territory. No matter how many Soviet Partisan units are in the same territory.

Soviet Partisan units can only spawn in Original Soviet Territories that are controlled by the enemy - but are unoccupied.

Example:
In Early 1943 Germany controls Belarus.

The Soviet Union has placed 1 Partisan unit in Belarus in Early 1943.

In Late 1943 Germany fails to eliminate the Soviet Partisan unit in Belarus.

So, on the Soviet player’s turn in Late 1943 a second Partisan unit is placed in Belarus - in the Place New Units phase.

The Soviet player decides to replace both Partisan units with one regular Infantry unit - and immediately takes control of Belarus.

Just to make sure, in my example JPN would still collect the income from the tty where the Partisan is ?

[The Captain]

@barnee

Yes - the power that controls the territory, collects the IPC.

[barnee]

@the-captain if i have 2 Paras air drop and a third amphib attack, the third would be considered Infantry and negate the bonus for the 2 air dropped ?

[The Captain]

@barnee

Paratrooper units that attack any territory - without any support from other units - or support from Off Shore Bombardment - attack at “3” in the first round of combat.

No matter where the Paratrooper units come from.

So, in your example, all Paratrooper units attack at “3” during the first round of combat.

[barnee]

Can you load allied units on your Landing Craft ? Would behave the same as loading on a trprt ?

[The Captain]

@barnee

Landing Craft units must be loaded in the same turn as they take off.

This means, that only the Nation that owns the Landing Craft units can use them to transport units.

Exception:
From round Early 1944 - and on any future round - during the D-Day Operation, United States and United Kingdom can use each others Landing Craft units in any combination.

See pg. 39 in the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion rulebook for further details.

@the-captain just to make sure LCV can still move by sea in ncm same as if they were in combat correct ?

Landing Crafts can also move on land in the Non-
Combat Movement phase– one territory in each
turn.

[The Captain]

@barnee

True:+1:

This will be part of the updated Rules Clarification.

[barnee]

What happens to the Partisan if the axis controlled TTy it’s in is liberated by a non soviet player ? For example,USA liberates Siberia

It remains and defends normally with any Allied units until a soviet unit removes it or is killed in battle ?

[The Captain]

@barnee
The Soviet Partisan unit is only removed if any Soviet land based unit enters the same Original Soviet Territory.

So, in your example the Soviet Partisan is now in an Original Soviet Territory - that is controlled by the Soviets - but are “occupied” by Allied units.

In this case the Soviet Partisan unit can defend against any enemy land based units.

Remember:
Only enemy land based units can attack a Soviet Partisan unit.

[The Captain]

Landing Crafts can also be transported by Strategic Rail Capacity Movement - on the same terms as other Land Based units.

This will be clarified on the updated Rules Clarification.

Where can I find the rules concerning the new Combat Engineer unit?

[barnee]

@victoryfirst https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37755/global-1940-combat-engineer-unit?_=1663004999263

These are triplea limitations

18. Combat Engineer
    Adds the Combat Engineer Unit. Use Edit for moving Minor Factories and removing Landmines. Also for landing at Landing Strips. Land the Air Unit in a legal area and then edit after Non Combat Move. Unit Image courtesy of Hepps.

@barnee

THanks! I was looking for this for ages!

Do you also know where I can find the Desert Army Group rules? I believe it is still not in the rulebook yet.

[barnee]

@victoryfirst heh heh yea took me a bit to find it too. Lost all my bookmarks when machine fried lol

[VictoryFirst]

And by the way, there were some inaccuracies regarding the timetable and the rulebook, that were already pointed out by someone. But which one is correct? The rulebook or the timetable?

yea I noticed it too and mentioned it to Captain. The timeline in the rulebook is correct. Not the graph but the written part

[barnee]

@The-Captain

Is this an accurate description of the situation in Slovakia ? I form Army Group Centre with 1st Panzer and 1st Waffen and 2nd Waffen help fills out the needed units for the Army Group ?

2nd Waffen can still choose to attack elsewhere but the Army Group would no longer exist.

Thanks
