I now think a similar idea could apply to Finland.
Its 4 infantry can only move in the following territories:
Finland
Vyborg
Karelia
Norway
Sweden (not if the Axis are at war with the strict neutrals)
@Faramir I would play that game.
My suggestion would be to contact Renegade (and maybe also Mr. Larry Harris) at first - and ask if they are interested at all in starting up this massive project.
I imagine, that most G40 players - if not the entire Axis & Allies Community - would also have to support this effort.
I suggest that the following should also be considered:
Is the new Axis & Allies North Africa a succes ?
Since 2023 we have discussed the developement of a similar project in the Danish Axis & Allies Association, based on the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
We concluded that the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion (G40 HRE) was more than sufficient enough to entertain G40 players for at least the next decade.
So we decided to keep developing the G40 HRE by gradually adding more complexity and multiple options over the coming years.
We have informed Renegade about this - and announced that Renegade can use any units & rules from the G40 HRE for whatever they want (for free, naturally).
The Danish Axis & Allies Association is of course available for further information and help.
Too many house rule sets are just a bunch of additional rules and units on top of the OOB rules. That can spice up a game for people who are tired of the original, but it isn’t the recipe for a good new game. Global is almost too big for a 1 box game. I would prefer a second edition of Anniversary to be the definitive A&A.
@Faramir Both/and.
I suggest that we wait and see what happens, until Crockett has made contact and have a constructive dialog with the Renegade Company.
Number 1 thing I recommend is stack limits!!! Giant stack of death marching across Russia is boring.
Number 2 would be a unit production limit.
@jim010 which War Room implementated.
Hi crockett,
Do you have a dialog with Renegade Company concerning Advice to Renegade! ?
And if so, what is status ?
@The-Captain I do not. I tried to seed the clouds when they first bought the franchise.
Okay - does this mean that “Advice to Renegade” is not valid anymore since nobody from Renegade are interested ?
I’m completely against removing countries. If anything we should be adding more. Or keeping it the same. Removing countries would be like version 0.5. I think the time the game starts is weird to. Meaning starting right after the Dunkirk evacuation is just weird. Not bad just I wish it was a better timeframe. That’s my opinion at least. I don’t agree with stacking limits just because I don’t like them. I would love to see a 1939 starting date. Also this is one thing that bugs me, why have so many French pieces if we are not using them. I would rather have actual French sculpts then a ton of blue Russians.
@The-Captain I would be shocked if this is the case, Renegade seems to be interested in A&A, they have reprinted many games and have two new full games. Plus Operation Market Garden soon.
@The-Captain I have always assumed that we–axisandallies.org–had Renegade lurkers. That’s how I came up with the idea for the thread. Here’s to hoping they have seen it or will, when it comes time for a 4th edition (assuming tournament 42 is 3rd edition) consult this thread.
