Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion

@barnee

The Industrial Complex in Stalingrad (Volgograd) can move to another Original Soviet Territory - and still produce 6 Red Army Conscription Infantry units.

Note:
The IC cannot move and produce 6 RAC Infantry in the same turn.

See more information at pg. 21 in the G40 HRE rulebook.

Hi

The OOB rules regarding Mongolia are eliminated once the Soviet Japanese NAP is in effect.

Is Mongolia then treated as a Strict Neutral ? It only activates if it is attacked or another Strict Neutral is attacked ?

Thanks

Edit
Reading OOB rules some more and it seems that they would indeed just be treated as any other Strict Neutral beginning Early 1941

@barnee

If the Japanese-Soviet Pact (Non-Agression Pact) is activated then Mongolia is considered a Strict Neutral on the same terms as any other Strict Neutral Nation.

Note:
The G40 Expansion Strict Neutrals also confirms this scenario (see below).

We have attached the IPC Tracking Chart here below and also at pg. 1 in this thread.

The IPC Tracking Chart is quite useful and gives players an exact overview of the economic situation anytime during the game.

The chart should also be saved after each game in order to evaluate any game when a Strategic Plan needs either to be modified or revised for future games.

We advice all players on both sides to print and use the chart in each game - especially during FTF board games.

Hey @The-Captain, are there map changes that you wish you could see or test for G40/G40HRE? What are some of the biggest map/territory/SZ oversights or opportunities based on your experience with vanilla G40 and these house rules over the years?

Hi vodot,

Thanks for your question - we truly appreciate it.

As we gradually developed the G40 HRE our intention was from the beginning that any player who had already played the OOB G40 version should easily be able to use the G40 HRE.

Our intention was not to speed up the game.
We are convinced, that when you play Axis & Allies you should have as much Fun & Challenge as possible from each game - take the time you need, de-stress - and enjoy the ride.

We are convinced that Larry Harris and his great team did their homework very well with the design of the OOB G40.
As most players have experienced, it is true that the OOB game is somewhat imbalanced.
Multiple “Home Rule Solutions” have been introduced - most common is the bid system.

We have kept the OOB G40 game board map as well as the SetUp intact. The only differences between the OOB and HRE from Game Start are an expansion of the Pacific Ocean with Increased IPC Values and additional Historical Military Units SetUp.

Our Veteran Play Group is highly active and we play almost weekly with the HRE.
Twice a year we evaluate new ideas and suggestions from players concerning additional expansion rules.

This keeps us sharp - and we still have Fun & Challenge on a massive scale.

When you combine the OOB G40 with the G40 HRE we are convinced that you have a great game that will last for decades.

If Renegade would produce a new Axis & Allies Global game it should include more territories, more sea zones - and most important of all: the HRE.

During the A&A Wiking-Con events, we use the G40 HRE Tournament Rules.

We will attach those rules to the first post at pg. 1 in this thread no later than 28th January 2026.
