I now think a similar idea could apply to Finland.
Its 4 infantry can only move in the following territories:
Finland
Vyborg
Karelia
Norway
Sweden (not if the Axis are at war with the strict neutrals)
Global 1940 US & UK Lend-Lease

How can the US not be at war in Late 1941 when they can do so in Early 1941? Are there any reasons or strategies not doing so? Thank you!
-
@the-captain this looks pretty cool. I think UK could use a little boost. If it affects Germany too much, maybe consider giving a free U-Boat off Normandy the turn after they conquer it. The more the merrier lol
Anyway just a thought : )
-
How did this playtest go? Is this rule expected to be included in the rules at some point, or wasn’t it a success? It looks interesting in my opinion.
-
Considering the date, isn’t this the same rule as in the main rules?
-
The US & UK Lend-Lease rule works satisfactory concerning Game Play Balance and simplification of the rules.
It is an Optional Rule in the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
Due to the number of Units & Rules that are already included in the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion rulebook, we chose not to include this rule in the rulebook.
-
@the-captain i had forgotten about this. I’ll have to add as an option :)
The 3 air and naval are total correct ? Same as ussr ?
-
Good idea, didn’t notice the part concerning naval units, showing that it’s different from the finished/final Lend Lease rule. That’ll be a good inclusion.
-
Hi barnee,
The USA can send 3 Air units and 3 Naval units as part of the US-UK Lend-Lease Program.
Remember:
When playing the Global 1943 Expansion, those Air & Naval units have already been send to the UK and are now part of the UK forces. -
@the-captain right on. So only for 1940 Game Start. I’ll add as an option next update.
-
Added as a Game Option for latest triplea update. Version 1.87 October 27 2023.
This has no affect on Game Play. It just adds a “Game Option” for a simple way for Players to agree to using the Optional rule. It may be expanded in the future. Is On by Default at Game Start.
I Hope to add LL specific units that will only allow placement in the correct zones. Hopefully they can auto change as well.
The above Rules are included in the Game Notes as well as a link to this thread.
-
Awesome! 👍👍
-
The US & UK Lend-Lease rule will be included in the the 4th Northern Europe Axis & Allies Wiking-Con which will be held in Denmark in Early 2024.
Game Reports will soon after be posted at the Global 1940 & 1943 Expansions Game Report Thread

@The-Captain said in Global 1940 US & UK Lend-Lease:
From the beginning of the US player’s turn in Late 1941 the United States can send up to 3 Air Units (all types of Air Units are included) to the United KIngdom.
Even if the United States is not at War.Does this include Strategic Bombers ? Or even Heavy Bombers when they’re avaiable ? Or just Tacs and Ftrs like the commies get ?
-
It includes all types of Air units - except Carrier Based Fighter units.
So, yes - Strategic Bomber units are also eligible for US-UK Lend-Lease
-
Great Thank you

So it’s not included for this year then ? I didn’t see it, just want to make sure.
Edit
Oh yea, might want to add to the optional list too, as it’s not there. The one with all the cool new stuff :) -
We decided to create a new set of Tournament Rules for general use in all Wiking-Cons as well as the 2026 World Championship.
This set of Tournament rules is described at the “Events” thread, inkluding the Wiking-Con Tournaments.
