While I think having cuba be its own power would be cool, it would kind of like having New Zealand be its own power in g40. You would have to wonder how much they really contribute. Maybe you could make it so that the Warsaw Pact can pay to build units to support Castro and the gang in cuba, possibly at higher cost cuz of the blockades and embargoes and stuff, if the Warsaw pact is smart, like they were during the cold war, they’ll buff the hell out of cuba to prevent a traditional land invasion, and nukes aren’t always realistic. If they’re dumb then cuba will just be invaded and it will be an opportunity lost, which absolutely could have happened if the ussr wasn’t paying attention. I’m thinking about alternative rules where one or two players play each Nuetral category so it feels like they’re entities and not roadblocks, but I’ve got a ton of stuff I need to do before then soooooo… The setup for cuba will not change for balancing reasons, it accurately represents their power near it’s height, which was also the time when it was diplomatically plausible for the US to invade. For your expansion however, I recommend cuba starts the game Strict Nuetral with an army of one infantry.

Anyone still play this game? I did a lot as a kid and recently rediscovered it and play a lot with my son.
We’ve been trying to come up with a way to clarify and possibly even improve the rules, like the air battles, what to do with the convoy boxes, when minor countries enter, etc….
Did any of y’all have any house rules that you used?

Hi @Techsan
welcome to the site :)
I played this years ago with my brother. It was our favorite version. @The-Captain and his group have incorporated it and other versions to make a really cool House Rules set.

The Rules are fun to read through and might give you some ideas even if you don’t go all out with it :)

Hi @Techsan,
Yes we still use these rules today. The rules are now part of the most detailed and comprehensive version of Axis & Allies Global 1940:
Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.For your inspiration we have attached 2 pdf files with Cost Of All Units - this gives you an idea of most of the units that are available in the Axis & Allies G40 Expansion game.
More units & rules are available at the House Rules section - just follow the link that barnee gave you.
Contact us any time for questions & comments.
