Strategy Guide Global 1940

[The Captain]

The German Strategic Plan should include a Build-Up of Combat Engineer units early in the game - and continuously throughout the War.

We have already seen extensive use of German Combat Engineer units during the latest Global 1940 and Global 1943 games during the 2023-2024 Axis & Allies Wiking-Con gaming season.

The Combat Engineer units perform a variety of tasks - including the movement of captured Industrial Complex units, elimination of enemy Mines, Landing Strip construction etc.

[The Captain]

Based on the 3rd Northern Europe Axis & Allies Wiking-Con that has just been held in Denmark , the Strategy Guide Global 1940 will be expanded in 2024 to contain new strategies for both the Axis and the Allies.

@The-Captain

Very cool!

[The Captain]

A new Combined Axis Strategy will be revealed after the next Axis & Allies Global 1940 Expansion Tournament.

The tournament is held in Denmark from Friday 5th January until Sunday 7th January.

Initially the strategy will be posted under Global 1940 & 1943 Game Reports.

@The-Captain when you gonna upload italy strategy?

[The Captain]

@Angel

We expect to release a Strategy Guide for Italy no later than this spring.

The Strategy Guide for Italy will describe 2 Italian strategies.

• 1 strategy explains how Italy more or less fights on its own - without any massive support from Germany
• 1 strategy explaines the Italian plan for a Combined Axis Strategy with support from Germany - and prepares for a German Take Over Of Italy by Late 1943.

@The-Captain

Sweet!

[The Captain]

The Global 1940 No. 11 Game Report shows parts of the Combined Axis Strategy.

We expect to release the Combined Axis Strategy (Germany, Japan & Italy) this Spring.

[The Captain]

We are play testing an Italian Strategy that is focusing on the Middle East.

We expect to release this Italian Strategy Guide no later than May this year.

@The-Captain

Can’t wait!

[The Captain]

The presence of Strategic Bombers within striking range of enemy Industrial Complexes might force the enemy to upgrade those Industrial Complexes to Underground Factories.

Especially if the Strategic Bombers can be escorted by a large number of Fighters.

In this way you can “force” the enemy to spend IPC to protect the factories from Strategic Bombing - IPC that are much needed elsewhere.

[The Captain]

The G40 Game Report No. 15 reveals parts of the Combined Axis Strategic Plan.

As you read your way through the game report, you’ll discover the combined Axis effort to eliminate United Kingdom’s IPC income.

Study the No. 15 Game Report - and analyze the pictures from both the first and second part of the game report.

@The-Captain

Thanks for the advice!

[Trout]

I am struggling as Axis playing when my opponent does an all-out KGF strategy almost completely ignoring Japan, except the 20 IPC’s in Calcutta each turn. I am assuming that there is a game thread somewhere where somebody has successfully countered such a strategy. If so, can someone please be so kind as to point me to that so I can review? Thanks much.

Hi @Trout

Follow the Strategy Guide that I have attached below.

@Trout if the allies go all in on Germany, Japan will dominate the entire pacific and slowly taking Russia. Germany can hold. The axis should definitely win this

[Trout]

@The-Captain Thanks Cap. Yes, I love your strategy guide and follow your Battle of the Atlantic strategy normally as I am doing now. It just doesn’t address specific strategies of an opponent that are a little unique such as ignoring Japan so as to kill Italy before the Takeover and follow up by squeezing Germany from all three sides before Japan’s monstrous expansion can put lethal pressure on any of the three major Allies.
