Do you mean Global War 1939 by Historical Board Gaming (HBG) ? This variant has similar game mechanics to G40, but has its own rules, map and uses 12 sided dice.

The USA cannot move any units into any land territory that’s not their own until they are at war.
So, no, they cannot send fighters to the UK until they are at war with Germany.

It would be fun to import the Iron Blitz (PC version) Cold War scenario into the 1940 map: this time around instead of just having USSR-US-UK you could expand it to have France represent the rest of the NATO powers, Germany to represent the Warsaw Pact and China gets to be on its own (as PRC vs ROC, Taiwan can just be controlled by the US player along with Japan). Of course tech would be opened up.

For global it depends on what round you are attacking. Like for Germany you pretty much go all mech and armor to attack on G6. Otherwise you do round 2 strait arty then you attack Russia on G7 (buying mech/armor for the other rounds).

That is pretty much it. Like other units simply do not make it in time. Like your entire german force collides on russia at a specific round. You only need to hold germany, everything else lost can be reclaimed after russia falls including france, I mean you should be using Italy to defend anyway, it has nothing better to do.

If you do a more economic style of play then you probably invested into the middle east and a more defensive style. So yes then you have a more mixed buy going on.

Global is a freaking long game to play income style with, just win, it is faster.

D.ï¿½ï¿½Â DO NOT TAKE MORE THAN YOU NEED!ï¿½ï¿½Â Now is NOT the time to be greedy!ï¿½ï¿½Â Take Egypt (IC for Italy) and the Middle East, take England and Scotland sure.ï¿½ï¿½Â You dont need Gibraltar -fun, and be nice to get the Italian fleet out, but it also gives America a Naval Base later.ï¿½ï¿½Â Remember, the allies can take any British territory for themselves, so don’t take it unless you can defend it!ï¿½ï¿½Â Same for France!

Wait so once a country’s capitol falls its teritories can be captured and added to the IPC value of an ally? I must’ve missed that rule somewhere…

Only if both the territory and the capitol were both taken by the other side.ï¿½Â For example, suppose Germany takes Paris and Japan takes French Indo China, and then USA takes it back.ï¿½Â Because Paris is occupied they don’t liberate FIC for France; instead they occupy it until Paris is liberated.ï¿½Â In the meantime, USA gets the IPCs, they can build an IC there and mobilize units, etc.ï¿½Â It is a good reason for the axis to never take FIC (or Western France for that matter) unless they intend to defend them (e.g. it really sucks when USA has the IC in Western France).

The same would go for some places like South Africa after sea lion,ï¿½Â Suppose London falls, then Italy takes it, then USA takes it back.ï¿½Â USA would occupy it until London is liberated.ï¿½Â ï¿½Â

Ah ok that makes sense. Ok thanksÂ :-) One more question… Is that an OOB rule or Alpha rule?

It has been the rule for Classic, Revised, Anniversary and Global.

I would abuse improved shipyards right off the bat. I would make sure that the USA had the only floating major navy in both oceans. No point of having an edge if you don’t abuse it. And Japan can’t get its cites if they have no fleet.

In my current game, I will use the Aussies to take the Caroline islands so the united states can then stage their airforce on the island be closer to the action quicker. ANZAC also has an aircraft carrier so combined with the us fleet that will be arriving, tha Japanese will be nervous.
