Hi barnee, the Set Up for Global 1939 is the same as G40 OOB and HRE - unless otherwise mentioned in the Global 1939 rulebook & Set Up.
I’ll clarify this in the G39 Expansion rulebook.
The next rule that will be added to this Explained thread is Facilities.
We will update this soon…
Explained - Facilities has been added - see the top at the first page at this thread.
Most units & rules that are described in this Explained thread are also described to some degree in the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion thread.
This Explained thread will gradually be updated over time, as soon as we have each rule & unit ready for explanation.
The Non-Aggression Pacts has been added to this Explained thread.

Hi Captain
I know it doesn’t say it in the rules, but do you think Commandos should be able to D3 the 1st rd of battle the way Inf can for “Home Defense” ?
@barnee
Concerning United Kingdom Home Defense:
Only Infantry and Elite Infantry units can defend at “3” during the first round of Combat.
Paratrooper units, British Commando units and other specialized Infantry units that operate under Infantry rules must defend at their normal Defense Factor during Home Defense.
The reason is, that specialized Infantry units such as Paratroopers have specialized equipment, training, weapons etc. in order to use them for Special Missions.
Also, for Game Play reasons those specialized Infantry units should not be “mixed up” with regular Infantry units.
Explained - Strategic Bombing has been added to this thread.
Explained - The Expanded Pacific Theatre Of Operations will soon be added to this Explained thread.

For players who have questions to the Game Mechanisms of the G40 HRE game, we draw attention to the fact that this thread explains what is “Behind the Scenes”.
See the top of the first post in this thread for further information.
We’ll gradually add more Information & Explanations about the remaining Units & Rules in the G40 HRE rulebook.
