@barnee That’s what I thought but just wanted to confirm. Thank you!

This is the release of the Tournament Rules that is used during all Wiking-Con events etc.

Players can also decide on their own if they want to use the Tournament Rules during any game at any time - on TripleA - or on the Game Board FTF.

Note 1:
When you play with the Tournament Rules, the scoring points are registered as mentioned below.

We have attached the revised Timetable for Tournament Units & Rules as well as the Tournament Rules.
1. Timetable, Tournament.pdf
2. Tournament rules.pdf

Important:

Winning Conditions are described in the G40 HRE rulebook at pg. 11

Note 2:
Every game that is registered as a Tournament Game (meaning that the Tournament Rules are used) must have the scoring points registered like this:

Winning player: 3 points Draw (a): 1 point to each player if both players have played same number of G40 HRE games (+/- 2 G40 HRE games) Draw (b): 1 point to the player with most played G40 HRE games - and 2 points to the player with less played G40 HRE games.

yep this is a nice addition. Only 2 games so far. First game US was the one that used it most in N Afirca with the Armored Inf.

Too weak to hit Europe in force so took the long route :)

One thing about SSR is they get Mass Tanks a turn later and then Total War, so it’s still a better buy to have Tanks.

Also good to have at least 2 or 3 to pair with the Grds though. Right now I’m finding them useful in Centarl Asia in case JPN gets uppity with the NAP :)

@SGT-Pitbull

Our game experience shows that the Soviets can use the Air Fleet Commander with great success - especially when US and/or UK send their Lend-Lease Air Units to the Soviets.

Germany usually have at least 2 Luftflotte - operating on the Eastern Front and in the Western Europe sphere.

Update 8th February 2026: Total number of recorded Axis & Allies games in 2026 played by The Captain: 3

2026: Axis & Allies Global 1940:

0 Defeats (Allies) 0 Defeats (Axis) 2 Victories (Allies) 1 Victory (Axis)

@The-Captain Yes, that’s a nice setup!

Hi Captain

Some more clarification on NMs as we haven’t used them that much or actually no one has attempted to sweep any.

Is my above interpretation correct ?

Thanks

Edit
Also any surviving NMs that weren’t swept would defend against the Minesweeping Escorts before the JPN Escort would defend

Edit 2
So there is still some debate on if LMs defend in both directions. e.g. Belarus LMs defending against E POL means any units in E POL moving directly into Belarus cross the minefield.

Any units in Belarus crossing into E POL do not cross the minefield.

Is how I interpret it. However I can see why it might seem counterintuitive to some.
