@vodot Makes sense.

Update 4th September 2025: Total number of recorded Axis & Allies games in 2025 played by The Captain: 24

2025: Axis & Allies Global 1940:

0 Defeats (Allies) 0 Defeats (Axis) 10 Victories (Allies) 14 Victories (Axis)

@TitusJames haha yeah, funny how that happens :)

Some of the games from 2025 played by The Captain will be published at the Game Report thread after the 6th Northern European A&A Wiking-Con.

Concerning the addition of multiple Optional Rules (see the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion thread) we advice players to study those Optional Rules in order to implement some of the units during Strategic Planning.

Rules Clarification:

Concerning islands in the Pacific Ocean with increased IPC values:

The starting IPC level for each Nation is the same as OOB. The increased IPC values on the islands in the Pacific Ocean has no influence at the Starting Income from game start.

When an islands is captured by the enemy it goes like this:

Japan captures Philippines Islands in Late 1941 (round 4). The Japanese IPC level is increased with 5 IPC - and the US IPC level is decreased with 5 IPC.

If Philippines Islands is recaptured by Allied forces, the US IPC level is increased with 5 IPC - and the Japanese IPC level is decreased with 5 IPC.

The same rule aplies when Dutch islands are taken over by either Axis or Allied forces.
