Play testing has ended. The rules are now available at the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion thread, pg. 1 (see Optional Rule No. 22).
Advice to Renegade! What is on your top 10 for adjustments to G40 3rd edition?
-
@crockett36 zero pressure to win or do well. playtesting is about kicking the tires. having fun.
-
@crockett36 Well, I want this to be your baby so I will choose the Axis. I’ll try to set it up by tomorrow morning.
-
@crockett36 pm me your email.
-
@crockett36 And any last minute set up changes?
With playtesting I like to have targeted variables. That way we can see the results clearly. I will try and play Abbott to your Costello. I will likely do a Russia crush. Let’s play 3 rounds and see where we are. I’m assuming from the get-go that Japan will have to win this war.
I am going to ask for 1 infantry extra for the Germans in Po, Ro, Nor, Ge, Slo, GSG. That will give me a little hope for the march east.
-
@crockett36 Sure, for your awareness I have not done in actual triplea game before only sent saved games back and forth. Could you do that or no? If no I could try to look into my triplea.
-
Okay,
For your information, about a year ago I sent the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion rulebook to Renegade Company.
As well as the Global 1943 Expansion rulebook.
They were gratefull for this.
But I haven’t heard from them since.
I suggest, that you contact Renegade and advice them on your plans.
-
@The-Captain I wonder why you have not heard from them. Personally that kinda seems rude of them. Maybe not though.
-
@FranceNeedsMorePower you can probably guess that there are a lot of people with a lot of good ideas about what should be done with analyze so it is not surprising to me that he hasn’t heard from renegade.
-
@FranceNeedsMorePower I love helping people get started. It’s kind of what I do.
-
@crockett36 Makes sense.
-
@crockett36 I would need help with triplea unless if you just want to sent saved games back and forth.
-
I suggest that you move your posts concerning your TripleA game to another thread, since this thread is for crockett’s Advice to Renegade.
-
@The-Captain good idea
-
Start in 1939 or get rid of France. And draw the map alot more accurate. Go with D12 system and add about 4 new units.
-
@Imperious-Leader 39 start would be great for the “this version is newer and better” story. Could add a new set of sculpts/colors or two- “Allied Minor Powers” to occupy Poland & Greece in Europe / Dutch holdings in the Pacific, and perhaps also (although less needed) some “Axis Minor Powers” to occupy Finland & the Balkans in Europe / Thailand in the Pacific.
RE: Dice, they seem more likely to go D10 given North Africa. Either is fine.
What about spinning off the Soviet Union into a third side/Power to simplify Mongolia rules and give the Chinese KMT (as well as Turkey, Persia, Eastern Europe, and the Allies in general) some ornery Communists to worry about?
-
Are you all advocating for a different game, not an adjustment to g40?
-
@crockett36 …yeah, I think we’re off-topic.
-
@vodot or your advice to renegade is to come out with a 39 version!
-
Multiple Scenarios would be nice the way Anniversary does it. Would have to use control markers.
Some new units are always fun :) Make them all optional. Give people multiple ways to play the game. Maybe that’s not a good business model though :)
But yea a standalone 39 would be pretty sweet with a new map :)
-
A 1941 start. No politics. No national objectives. Remove France. Have Vichy as Italian units. Remove ANZAC. Have all the UK as 1 economy. Have China as a full power. A few map adjustments. Have the starting forces more historically accurate. Have a reason to take tiny islands without national objectives.
