G40 Air Fleet Commander & Air Fleet

[The Captain]

This is the release of the Strategic Component: Air Fleet.

As well as the landbased Armies and Army Groups can perform Strategic Operations, we have now also added the Air Fleet Commander and Air Fleet to perform misions on a strategic level.

See the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion thread for further information.

@The-Captain

Looks epic 👌🏻💪🏻

@The-Captain Looks interesting! One clarification question. If Army Group is active in attacking or defending a territory, can an Air Fleet be active as well?? I would assume yes but please confirm. Thanks!

Let’s go!

I’m curious how giving Air Commanders to Japan and Britain affect game balance and whether they can be integrated.

@Trout

Yes - an Air Fleet can defend together with any Army.

Note:
During Capital Defense a maximum of 2 Air Fleets can defend together - even if there is also 2 Armies defending in that Capital.

In other words: a Berlin, Moscow and Washington can now be defended on a massive scale.

@The-Captain Wow. I think one of the effects could be UK having to be even more aware of Home Defense at least until the Yanks get into the fight.

The rules concerning Air Fleet Commander has been clarified & updated with the following:

“An Air Fleet can only attack from or defend in a territory or an island.”
