Is it possible for this game to be set it up so that every country could fight on it’s on; with one country destroying everyone else as the only victory condition? Say, combine Italy and France (with Spain and Portugal?) and let them go first? Britain goes 2nd? And perhaps add about 1 guy to every Chinese territory? What would the outcome of THAT game look like?
Crazy idea for Axis And Allies 1940 second edition

@superbattleshipyamato123
you have to answer your own question by testing it. Lots of ideas out there, the ones that get tested have the most merit -
Thank you for responding!
I haven’t tested it, it’s just a crazy idea to mess up the game, with a way to hopefully balance it (but that is not really an important goal).
-
@superbattleshipyamato123 Wouldn’t think it would balance the game other than destroy some extra German units, anyway we’ve been playtesting China going first for over a year now on our YouTube War House rules game- it certainly slows the Japanese some, although China is still dwindled down to almost nothing but it’s been working for the Allies advantage on the Pacific side!!!
-
I have calculated that if France sends every available land unit against Northern Italy, Italy would usually lose-that’s quite impacting, because when the Axis lose Northern Italy, the Axis will be left with a Minor Industrial Complex there-the loss of Italy’s only strategic bomber is devastating as well.

right on. i remember @Black_Elk trying this a few years ago with OOB rules. It seemed that it had potential but didn’t catch on.
Good stuff ! Looking forward to your final setup !

Hi, sorry to disturb you. How hard do you think this will be to make this map available on TripleA? Thank you!

yea, but why? Is the idea to let France buy more units to make the German conquest more difficult?
-
Something like that. Also France can take Northern Italy if they pooled all their forces together, bleeding the enemy dearly.

New update (also put in the original post):
“If you want to have the Tiger tank unit but don’t want to have France go first, using the 1941 tank pieces for the Soviets (IS-2, I believe), as heavy tanks, with the same statistics as the German Tiger tanks. They would be available to be purchased from the start, representing the superiority of Soviet armor early in Operation Barborossa (at least when we don’t consider logistics and more complicated factors, but this game never does, so why stop now). It would also help balance the game.”

Evaluated my unit using AndrewAAGamer’s system in his post about Global 1940 principles.
