@Corpsman_of_Krieg

Nice. Looking forward to what you came up with :)

I agree with #2 to an extent. Some may prefer a more involved game for a greater challenge or more detailed challenge would be more accurate :)

The OOB LowLuck rules are way more complex mentally for me than any House rules I’ve used.

Some obviously prefer LL and that’s fine of course :)

Your 3 Main Cores are pretty standard and should be. It will be fun to see what you came up with.

Good work

The original Global 1940 games alraedy tries to make the Solomons valuable by attaching some of ANZAC’s and Japan’s national objectives to it.

I remember how the 1914 map has the Balearic Islands and Spanish Morrocco as seperate territories and I think it would be cool if Global 1940 had the same function.

I think Corsica would work quite well as a seperate French territory. It would give the Allies a lot more room to hit Italy early on.

@Everythingman2 Very useful!

Considering house rules for China in G40. In the event they capture an industrial complex built in China. Should they be able to produce any unit?

@Overkill I use the Tiger tanks from 1941 …the FW-190s from that game also…I also use the white complexes to represent major factories…I’m now thinking about using the tanks from Stalingrad also…

The scale of which A&A G40 is designed to represent must be taken into account.

We assume that the original A&A Classic rules concerning AAA are more or less represented in the A&A G40 version.

We have devolped an Expansion rule for AAA: Flak Tower (see pdf file below).

5. G40 Flak Tower.pdf

You can find more inspiration in the G40 Expansion rulebook: Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

@MM1940 Spicy game it seems.

As Allies I would building subs and destroyers with US and start convoying germany in the Atlantic and start going into the Med and harass italy.

In pacific as well start to convoy money islands with anzac. So let them buy subs. US there need to provide transports to take a money island.

UK in middle east needs to pump out men. Abandon India and delay their move to Persia as long as possible. DO not stand and die in India. Built mechs in persia or egypt and South Africa.

Here is what you do. upload the AA rules of whatever version. then Chat Cpb or Genmini upload the rules and it will decide with brutal logic. The Battleship is priced correctly if its 20IPC and takes 2 hits and SB at 4. the only issue might be the Carrier could have different combat values, otherwise its good. Let AI solve your issue!

@yazoinkergrapft

well just a FYI but Krieghound wrote the rulebook so there is no higher authority :)

@SeaYa quick point of reference. I play test games. So no version, certainly not out of box, is completely baked. And this is proven by 2nd editions and tournament rules. That is why I have been advocating for a governing body for years. Gotta go.

Quick answer is that bids seem to keep going up with bids over 20 now common.

yes

just the dollar amount.

@Rosco

Hello Rosco and welcome.
As mentilned by barnee and The Captain, the Expansion house rule sets woild be the perfect match for you. It allows you to buy both units once jet fighter become available.
I play the Expansion rule set for over a year now and can highly recommend it! I can’t go back to the standard G40 anymore. :-)

On firdt sight the rulebook may be overwhelming, but after 2-3 rounds of 1 game the rules and gameplay become natural and opens whole new universe of options and fun.

I would be glad to play a game of this ruleset against you to give you a taste of this awesome game.

Feel free to contact me if you are up for a game.

@SuperbattleshipYamato I like the ideas/rules you mentioned. I will follow through on triple a.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

There’ve been many country-specific national advantages proposed over the years (many historically based). A great place to start is The Captain’s House Rules Expansion (I don’t find his implementation of many of the rules completely accurate, but he has some really good ideas):

Specifically, there are some great Soviet ones in those rules.

@crockett36
This seems interesting. I’ll try it out.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

Go to https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/releases/

Click on the latest version (the top post).

Under “Assets” there should be a set of links. Click on the one that fits your computer (if you use Mac, click on the link with the macos, Windows, the one with windows in it, etc.).

Click on the file in Downloads. It should open up a TripleA downloader similar to the one you used when you first downloaded TripleA. It should open (if there’s an error, it’s probably on your end).

It’s a vast improvement over 2.5 but is very easily navigable.

@SuperbattleshipYamato

I now think a similar idea could apply to Finland.

Its 4 infantry can only move in the following territories:

Finland
Vyborg
Karelia
Norway
Sweden (not if the Axis are at war with the strict neutrals)

@FranceNeedsMorePower

That’s a better idea, especially since Japan is usually somewhat stretched to the limits on their declaration of war on the US.
