Switcheroo

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?

I will go ahead and add them with the above parameters. The number and date of entry are easily changed.

I will wait for the final test results before putting them in the update.

Hi Chris,

The intended design of the Self-propelled Artillery unit was to support “fast moving” units that operate alongside Tank & Panzer units - such as Mechanized Infantry etc.

The background for the limitations in production numbers and Nations that can produce SPA is partly based on:

Play test results (game balance) Historical production numbers of SPA compared to the production number of Tank units Historical use of SPA Ease of Game Play

At this point our play test results - and their use during recent games - show that mostly Germany and the Soviet Union are using the SPA units.

The Soviets most often combine their SPA units with their Soviet Guard Infantry units - either as part of Soviet Army Corps - or as independent units.

Prior to the introduction of SPA units Germany is already familiar with the use of SPA since the German Waffen-SS units include SPA units.

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).

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

Update 10th January 2026: Total number of recorded Axis & Allies games in 2026 played by The Captain: 1

2026: Axis & Allies Global 1940:

0 Defeats (Allies) 0 Defeats (Axis) 1 Victory (Allies) 0 Victories (Axis)

The Operation Felix-Steiner Expansion rule has been revised.

Due to the Revised SetUp for Strict Neutrals, the Felix-Steiner Operation has been revised accordingly.

At this point, the Felix-Steiner Expansion rule is not part of the Tournament rules.

Awesome Game Report.

It was fun to watch the game all the way.

Great game guys!

Merry Christmas :-)

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.
