@SuperbattleshipYamato I have played a few games and though the Axis can initially worry the Allies , (I thought I would lose ), I have always been able to keep the income gap and , as the game progresses, it opens up much more .
I don’t believe , The Allies don’t need help in this game, if the players are equal ability.
Global 1943 Expansion, Revised
-
Want to try this out on my G40 Map after my ongoing game is finished. Looks so interesting. Will print the rulebook.

@all-encompassing-goose
Hi Goose,The Global 1943 House Rules Expansion is indeed very interesting - and fun - to play.
The big challenge for both sides is to achieve a Military Breakthrough.
It all depends on your strategy.
I’m sure you’ll have fun & challenge:+1:

@the-captain Thank you! My group is very small (my Dad and my brother who is very inexperienced but I help him) ATM I am testing my research rules using the DK Board from HBG. I might try playing your 1943 variant without the 1940 house rules revised additions. Is this viable?
Also, have you testing the variant on a single board (Europe, Pacific) and seen if it was balanced or not? I might play on a single board first just because the Global games work best when we know we have lots of time to do them ;D

@all-encompassing-goose
That sounds as a good group to start with :+1:For all I know, it is only possible to play Global 1943 in it’s intended version by following the Global 1943 Rulebook.
This requires knowledge of the Units & Rules described in the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
I suggest that you first take a look at the Global 1940 Basic Expansion rulebook - and play a few games with these rules. This will give you an insight of how the game mechanisms work in the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
It’s a Small Step to go from G40 OOB rules to Global 1940 Basic Expansion - but it’s a Giant Leap to go directly from G40 OOB rules to Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
That’s why we made the Global 1940 Basic Expansion, which we also use for training with new G40 players.
The Global 1943 House Rules Expansion is a favorite among the players in our Veterans Play Group.
If you want the ultimate fun & challenge from the Global 1943 version - I suggest that you and your play group begin with the Global 1940 Basic Expansion.
The fun already begins as soon as you start reading your way through the rulebook:+1:

I have suggested the exact same thing earlier in this topic.

@superbattleshipyamato I didn’t see that, sorry

Check out page one and two.

@the-captain Yeah, playing the 1943 setup immediately is not the right way to go. Learning all those House Rule Expansion rules may look a bit boring, but it’s definitely worth it. I am learning the rules section by section and playing a game for each section. I have now reached Early 1943 in my section 3 game. Wowy, what is this exciting! The Eastern Front is such an interesting battle. I will post my Section 2 game report, and a report for my section 3 game in the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion thread.

What program did you use to type your rules and what process did you go through? I have been wanting to make a neat rulebook for my own person A&A house rules :slightly_smiling_face:

(If anyone else is wondering, DM The_Captain)

This has been uploaded to triplea. It is under “Experimental” in map downloads. More information available here: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36998/g-40-expansion-for-triplea/127
You can also post bug reports there.

I’ve got two quetions:
You say this is based on how 1943 usually looks like in a game with your house rules-I don’t understand why the industrial complex in Germany (which is not in range of the Allied bombers) is underground, whilst West Germany’s industrial complex (which is in range) is not.
Also, I noticed that he limit for Waffen-SS infantry is maxed out a 6, and yet there is 8 of them in the setup-does that mean that units that are part of Waffen-SS armies do not count toward the limit? Thank you!
Can you also make a battle calculator for this please? It’s quite hard to plan strategies without that. Thank you!
-
The number of Waffen-SS Infantry according to the German set up chart is 6:
- 3 Waffen-SS Infantry in Berlin (Germany)
- 1 Waffen-SS Infantry in Bryansk
- 2 Waffen-SS Infantry in Rostov - as part of 1st Waffen-SS Army
-
Shoot! When I saw Barnee’s screenshots of the Eastern Front, I thought there were two separate Waffen-SS infantry in addition to two Waffen-SS infantry in the army. This makes my assessment of German strength on the Eastern Front seriously weakened. Thank you!

@victoryfirst
Did you purchase Siredbloods map? -
@the-captain No. I really want to, but I don’t know how to contact siredblood. I looked on his website but I couldn’t find anything. I pm’ed him in AxisandAllies.org but he didn’t respond.

-
I know how to contact siredblood. You looking for his map 4.1 ? Latest version
-
@general-5-stars
We already have the original version and updated ones too.
I just contacted Siredblood at his website, since we’re adding Army Boards etc. to our own version - so, when the map is printed, Army Boards, Expanded National Production Chart etc. are attached to the game board map.
For the Global 1943 version, all these Army Boards are in use from game start.
