How’s the map going?
Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion
-
Remember the scale on which Axis & Allies is played - a Tactical Bomber unit represents small scale attack units with the Specialized Ground & Air Attack capabilities.
A Strategic Bomber unit represents several formations of Bombers with heavy bombs - specifically designed for carpet bombing of large areas, such as an industrial area with its suply lines etc.
Calcutta (India) can produce mines.
If an industrial complex has its capacity decreased because of damage, this decreased production goes for mines as well.
Example:
An IC has been damaged and can produce only 2 units. This IC can equally produce only 2 mines in addition to the 2 units. -

oh this is good info. I never picked up on that before. Might consider adding that to the example next update. Although the situation rarely arises.
Are Rockets the same ? It doesn’t seem to have any restriction other than the 10 total ?
-
If an Industrial Complex is damaged - like the above example - and has its production capacity reduced to 2 units, this equally applies to Rockets.
In the above example the damaged IC can produce:
- 2 units
- 2 Mines
- 2 Rockets
Remember:
The production of Rockets would only apply to the Berlin and Moscow factories. -
The Printed Paper Full Color Rulebook is now available for Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

@the-captain That’s great! How do I get it?

How to get the printed full color rulebook for the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion:
Send us your shipping address to: g40expansionrules@gmail.com
The rulebook is a non-profit product - it is produced in Holland and will be shipped to you from Holland.
Total costs will be informed when you send us your shipping address - and you’ll confirm the costs before we ship the rulebook.
We’ve agreed that the first 5 Axis & Allies players that record at least 3 completed Global 1940 games with the use of the complete Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion (pictures & game report) at our Global 1940 & 1943 Game Reports thread - will each be awarded 1 rulebook for free (players must pay shipping costs only).
Those 5 players do not include any member of the Danish Axis & Allies Association, since all members will get the rulebook through their yearly fee.
The Game Reports can include games that are completed on TripleA for use with G40 Expansion.
We’ve noted that some players are already qualified for the free rulebook.
We’ll ship the rulebook to these players as soon as we have confirmation on their shipping address. -
The full color printed rulebook now includes the Global 1943 Expansion as well.
This reduces production costs - and it also has the advantage that players now have both Global 1940 & Global 1943 Expansions in one rulebook.
Please contact Cornelis Post at this forum, if you have any questions concerning costs, ordering and shipping of the rulebook.

Yea the biggest issue is triplea can’t distinguish which Border the Mines are defending. So there’s really no other way to do it. So whichever rules you wanna try first won’t matter much
-
Hi @markebeast
Mines must defend on a specific line. Since Mines defend at “2” against enemy land units - in both Combat Movement and Non-Combat Movement, there is an increased possibility that a land unit is hit.
We’ll look into that, concerning which Mines specifically defend which line…
I’m sure barnee can work out something.

@markebeast you have to use edit mode when using landmines in a rule compliant way. @VictoryFirst and i have found it to be just another step in game play. https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/39280/barnee-axis-vs-victoryfirst-allies-g-40-expansion/237?page=10
The use of colored mines denotes which border they are defending. When LMs defend, you need to use “dicebot” or an equivalent to determine the outcome. If playing in “local mode”, you can use the built in triplea dice roller.
You also need to “hand roll” certain Paratrooper and Submarine battles using the same process.
If you prefer to have triplea do all the rolling for you, there is an option that does that, although it won’t be 100% rule compliant. Paratroopers and Submarines are slightly affected, whereas LMs play significantly different.
TripleA Landmines
The “armed” mines are D2 now. They only die after getting a hit or taken as a casualty. They roll separately from the rest of the defending units, so you can see if they hit or not.You can place as many as there are “unarmed” mines, so you’ll have to player enforce any territory limits. They will defend against attacks from any border.
May be turned on in “Map Options”.
Due to triplea limitations, this mod will require more face to face style play, where the players need to work together to be as rule compliant as possible, just as they would playing in person.
Edit
Here is the discussion on triplea LMs https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36945/axis-allies-global-1940-house-rules-expansion/42?page=2 -
