The original AA Europe is fatally flawed. Germany can win every time by just buying tanks and smashing Russia. This is a well known problem with that game. This AA Europe 1940 is much better.

My name is Emiel Lieffering,
I am planning on hosting a tournament for Axis and Allies 1940 Europe 2nd Edition through TripleA. Anybody could enter and we will host it in a discord server. We will play for fun and the games will be played in teams of 2 players. You could join this tournament as a team or be matched with another player.
If you are interested you can add me on discord (Emielson#2198) or send me an e-mail at LiefferingEmiel@gmail.com

@Oyvind:

Could someone explain the “bid” in the first question?

It is a way of evening up the playing field when it is generally considered that one side has an advantage over the other. Using this as an example:

@Colt45:

Personally, i take Axis with a 3 bid otherwise il take Allies.

Colt45 554 has said that they’ll take Axis if they are given a bid of 3. This means that at the start of the game before the first turn they either get to put down units to the value of their bid, 3, in any of their territories, or accept 3 bonus IPC into one of their countries for spending at a later time.

In a general bidding arrangement, the opponent would have the opportunity to take the Axis for a bid of 2 if they thought they could win with that and that process repeats until a bid has been determined and teams are set.

A bid of 3 is considered a pretty well balanced game. I believe the current bid for 1940 Global is sitting between 20-30 for the Allies. We can read into that that people think that playing the game without bids leads to many more Axis wins than Allied wins by evenly matched players.

Where can I find a copy of Europe 1940 rules?

If you haven’t found it yet, go to HistoricalBoardGaming.com (sponsor of AAA.org!).

They have copies.

I looked it up. Yes, you are right. It only applies to major ICs, so a minor one could indeed be built in Finland.

@malstrom:

… a downloadable PDF photo of the global board?

In the Global-Thread there is at least a high-res. photo:
http://www.axisandallies.org/forums/index.php?topic=19489.0

You can easily convert it into a pdf of course, but I assume you think about something like IL’s maps.

@Black:

… while Soviet Navy could have been dealt with just British units (as was in previouse AA versions)…

Some naval units for the USSR have been unique to Russia since AA1942. These aren’t new molds specifically for AAE1940, these are reused molds from AA1942 plus new molds for tactical bombers and mechanized infantry.

I don’t disagree with you regarding the necessity for unique russian units or the sad lack of Italian units. I just want to point out that it was AA1942 (the 25th anniversary release of A&A) that first featured the unique russian destroyer, cruiser and battleship.

Wow,

Alot’s changed in the last 20 years of Axis and Allies. You’ve got alot more playable countries to work with, namely France, China, Italy, and ANZAC. USSR always goes after Germany now, the submarine rules are WAY different, Battleships and Carriers take 2 hits to go down, they made the cities on the board the victory conditions, there are diplomatic rules as in how and why the USSR and USA come into the war…

Also, a list of the new pieces:
-Artillery (pair with infantry to increase attack power)
-Mech Infantry (moves 2)
-Tactical Bombers (pair with fighters or tanks to increase attack power)
-Destroyers (anti-sub)
-Cruisers (less powerful Battleship)
-Air Bases and Naval Bases (increase range of planes and ships)

There are major and minor complexes now, SBR rules are different, and if you go into neutral countries now you have to fight instead of paying 3 bucks.

djensen….

It is the case that…
There is a set of Pacifc Only NOs used for Pac40
There is a set of Europe Only NOs used for Euro40
And there is a set of Global Only NOs

The Global set includes only some from Europe and Pacific, and includes some that are “global only”

True?
