Switcheroo

I realize the delay has been longer than anticipated. Life happens, and in the busy season since Easter, I haven’t been able to sit down and pull things together.

I’ll reply back soon.

Intriguing. I gotta say, I’ve never thought about specifically altering the momentum structure (who has the intiative) in this game, but I think it might make for a very fun game. Explaining it historically as weather works, especially on the Eastern Front.

@SeaYa another edit I forgot to put in the original post, for added strategizing, if the attacker has other sea units in addition to transports battleships and cruisers, those other surface ships can be used as casualties. To help the defender, there’s no limit to the number of coastal guns that can be placed in territories.

@CentralCommando

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.

@The-Captain

Finished reading the rules. I think they’re well-balanced and give nations a lot of new options, both for those who do have atomic bombes and those who don’t.

I guess trout really likes the Hvy Bmbrs :)

@Trout heh heh site been whacked almost daily for a while now :) Everything slow or unavailable. But it liked your post :)

We advice players to consider an Emergency Soviet Strategic Plan that is able to counter a German attack against the Soviet Union in Early 1940 and/or Late 1940.

Such plan must include USSR-United Kingdom Lend-Lease from round 1 and/or 2 and 3.

We have experienced 3 games during this Axis & Allies Wiking-Con season where Germany attacked the Soviet Union in 1st and 2nd round.

@Trout
Those rules are not yet finally play tested.

You should focus on the rules that are used during Tournaments:
