Hi, i searched the forum but failed to find anything about railroads and IC’s.
Has anyone thought about implementing IC’s and railroads? IC’s you perhaps could built for 12 IPC and you can place max amount of stuff onto the zone.

Railroads would be a bit more interesting, idea is to start from your capital buying railroads connecting it to adjacent territory for an x amount of IPC so you can move infantry and artillery 2 zones.

Would these 2 ideas do any good to 1914 version? I know that railroads were a big factor in the war to bring supplies and men to the front.

Hi Ben

Thanks for the invite but my gaming time is taken up with @The-Captain s mod https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36945/axis-allies-global-1940-house-rules-expansion

Also, I’m not very familiar with TableTop. Is it free to play ?

Looks a fun mod. :)

Update 16th September 2025: Total number of recorded Axis & Allies games in 2025 played by The Captain: 25

2025: Axis & Allies Global 1940:

@The-Captain I have always assumed that we–axisandallies.org–had Renegade lurkers. That’s how I came up with the idea for the thread. Here’s to hoping they have seen it or will, when it comes time for a 4th edition (assuming tournament 42 is 3rd edition) consult this thread.

@TitusJames haha yeah, funny how that happens :)

In your example, the enemy Escort unit must be regarded in the same way as an enemy Destroyer unit concerning blocking the movement of U-Boats.

So, if I understand correctly - on Germanys turn during Combat Movement the German U-Boat unit leaves the sea zone with an enemy Escort unit and launches an attack in an adjacent sea zone?

If the German U-Boat unit survives the attack and wants to retreat to the sea zone from where it came, this sea zone must be clear of any Escort and/or Destroyer units - since these units both block the movement of Submarines.

Once the German U-Boat unit has retreated to the sea zone from where it came (this sea zone must be clear of any enemy Escort/Destroyer units) - the German player can announce that the German U-Boat is inside the Pen.
