I will try and help. If we can’t figure it out, I’m sure Panther can :)
Advice to Renegade! What is on your top 10 for adjustments to G40 3rd edition?
-
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:
- Who would purchase this game ?
- What would the cost be ?
- What are the future plans for this game when the game is completed and ready for sale (any expansions in the future etc.?)
- How many games must be sold before it is a succes?
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.

…we certainly do have Renegade lurkers, or at least people who lived here long before they began working with Renegade on A&A development projects (I’m not talking about myself).

new map cartography, oil centers, real neutral armies/navies ( not just infantry,) D12, NO National Objectives, Real Tech Chart, start 1939, not 1940, USSR then All axis and rest of allies move sequence, remove NCM, add Rail Movement, Atomic Weapons, etc

start 1939, not 1940,
I think France is such a non-entity in the game, that even the 1940 start is too early. I think the only way something like that works is if you have a game that ends around the time the USSR would be invaded… which might work for a Europe game, but not a Global game.
People forget that Xeno Games’ World At War (in a lot of ways) was the answer to the question of “What if we did A&A but in 1939 and with France as a major power?” I think G40 actually took a lot of the lessons from that, while still throwing a bone to France, despite itself.
-
@The-Janus have you tried the France goes first mod in tripleA?
-
@crockett36
How much of the German air force can France take out on F1?If the answer is “zero” then I’m not interested.
-
@The-Janus They could take out the Italian bomber.
-
@ampdrive
Having played a bit vs. @Aardwolf44 the problem with the game is that the Germans have enough air force to take out the entire British navy and swing into Africa to make the Italian defense impenetrable… and absolute dumpster the USSR; VCs fall way too quick for the allies to be able to do anything -
@The-Janus In 1940 France is a road apple, while Germany Destroys the British Navy on G1, Perhaps it might prove better for Germany to commit all her might against Poland and France and have to tangle with UK fleet for the rest of the war and actually invest in a proper navy rather than this thing where UK navy gone and France, Norway, Poland are nothing but Boogers so they dont need to be represented?? 1940 was never the start of the war. If anything start in 1939 or June 1941 or Dec 1941. All these games follow the same mantra: wipe out UK Navy, then hold off UK while fighting USSR. Is nothing more possible?
