Here are our updated rules. Added some new pieces and changed a few Enhancements. TheBunkerRulesV3.pdf
G40 Atomic Bomb Expansion Rule
-
Since Early 2004 we have gradually developed an Expansion Rule for the Atomic Bomb unit.
Since Late 2021 we have play tested several options for Global 1940 - and we are now entering the final stages of play testing.
We expect to release the Atomic Bomb rule no later than 21st April 2026.

@The-Captain Sounds interesting! Never really made sense why they dropped Atomic Bombers after Nova. I can understand during the 80s (cold war), but we’re mostly past that now. I’m curious to see your take on this weapon of mass destruction!

Nice. A very fitting addition to the expansion.

Sweet I adapated Derkuenzler’s, spelled wrong :) years ago for triplea. Should be able to do the same with yours. Can always handroll and edit the results if needed.
I doubt it will get used that much. Probably a one and done or maybe the yanks and the reich start launching them at each other lol
Hopefully we can drop one on moscow :)

We can reveal some of the concepts in the Atomic Bomb unit rules:
- Germany can develope Atomic Bomb units
- United States & United Kingdom can both contribute to the developement of Atomic Bomb units
- Both sides must each pay a specific number of IPC to a Research & Development Facility during the Purchase & Repair Units phase for several rounds
- An Atomic Bomb Production Level Marker indicates how far the developement has come
- The Atomic Bomb Production Capacity is only reached after multiple rounds of payment.
- The rules include Transportation of Atomic Bomb units
- The rules include Attacking with Atomic Bomb units
- Targets for an Atomic Bomb unit:
-
- Urban & Industrial Area
-
- Frontline Area
- Casualties in an Urban & Industrial Area
- Casualties in a Frontline Area
- Other rules & notes
More will follow soon…

Exciting!

The Atomic Bomb Expansion Rule is originally designed for a longer game.
Still, the Atomic Bomb Expansion Rule is compatible with the winning conditions described at pg. 11 in the rulebook.
Most G40 HRE games maximum last until Early 1945 by which time one side would achieve an Economic Victory - or the other side would surrender.
With the developement of the Atomic Bomb Expansion Rule we are simultaneously working on a new Winning Condition: Total Victory.
The Total Victory condition eliminates all other victory conditions.
More information will follow soon…

Nice :)
Yea the spreadsheet for triplea has 34 Games so far and they avg 10 -11 rds so 1945 basically. If we throw out the outliers I’d say another year 13-15 rds but triplea allows one to play longer as no space or time constraint.
I think if/when a league starts play will speed up a little as there is no need to play to the end. However the takeover happens mid late game and usually prolongs our games at least another 3 rds.
We are all basically new/limited playing the mod though, even if we have OOB A&A experience.
At any rate, while not as user friendly as I’d like, thanks to Victory, we are recording the triplea games :)
Edit
Currently18 Axis
14 AlliesAlso two multis that haven’t been recorded yet. Looks like 1-1 with those, with one multi going to almost 1950 and the other more in line with the mean game time.
Edit
correction Multis are gonna be 2-0 Allies -
Thanks for recording them! It’s really helpful.
