I know there are other forums on this but I wanted to collect the best ideas here. What minor powers work best (balancing wise and being fun), preferably those without having to buy lots of extra pieces/ones that can use pieces from other games. But if one requires purchasing pieces and is really good feel free to add. Also not G40 specific but that tends to be the most common for minor powers. Thanks!
Advice to Renegade! What is on your top 10 for adjustments to G40 3rd edition?
-
@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.
-
@Faramir Nah that just ruins the game.
-
@Faramir I agree with the islands. Like having Malta being more importent.
