I now think a similar idea could apply to Finland.
Its 4 infantry can only move in the following territories:
Finland
Vyborg
Karelia
Norway
Sweden (not if the Axis are at war with the strict neutrals)

@the-captain said in Strategy Guide Global 1940:
(some of these 10 landbased combat units could also be units from a third Army, since these units would count towards the total of 10 landbased combat units).
so the 2 armies that form the Army Group can use some of the dudes in the third Army to form it since the third Army really wouldn’t be formed, as only 1 Army gets the bonus even in the Army Group.
Or does the Army still form but just isn’t active with it’s 2 bonus dice ? It can then use some of the dudes they sent to form the Army Group with the other two Armies to either reinforce the Army Group if it lost an Army or go on independently as it’s own Army provided the dudes they supplied to the Army Group to help form it didn’t get slayed ?

@barnee
Yes, the third Army in the same terrirtory is formed - but is not active, since only 1 Army can be active in the same territory.And yes - the units inside this third Army counts towards the total of 10 landbased combat units that is needed to form an Army Group.
Remember:
Multiple Armies and Army Groups can be formed and share the same territory.Example:
Two German Army Groups share the same territory: Western Germany. During a German attack, 1 Army Group attacks US forces in France - and 1 Army Group attacks British forces in Holland/Belgium.Both Army Groups attack as Army Groups - and each Army Group get the 2-dice bonus rolls at “4” - since they no longer share the same territory.
-
@the-captain sweet I’d prefer an example of them attacking the Russians, but hey, it’s an international game.
Getting ready to start J3 :)

Another example:
The German Army Group North occupy Novgorod. Army Group North consists of 1st Panzer Army and 3rd Waffen-SS Army - plus 10 Panzer units.
During a German attack, the German player decides to split Army Group North:
1st Panzer Army - plus 5 Panzer units - attack Soviet controlled Belarus.
3rd Waffen-SS Army - plus 5 Panzer units - attack Soviet controlled Archangel.
1st Panzer Army and 3rd Waffen-SS Army both get their Army Bonus Dice Rolls, since these two Armies no longer share the same territory.

@the-captain Awesome ! I didn’t know they’d have enough gas to do that :)
That’s a good tactical move though. Late here and I got a buzz so
ROCK ON

@superbattleshipyamato123
It would make sense to have the Armies and Army Groups as mobile as possible - the most optimal would therefore be that all units inside these Battle Formations have a Movement Capacity at 2.
During small scale attacks - when there is no need for a 2 space movement - a Soviet Army Corps could include a combination of Soviet Guard Infantry and Artillery.
The Artillery unit could then support a Soviet Guard Infantry unit - this Guard Infantry unit would then attack at “3” - with a 2 dice advantage.

So what do you usually do in your games? Thank you!

I spaced the Air Transports so Goring is gonna have to retreat.

@barnee
The USA Strategy Guide is expected to be available - at the latest - next week.:relaxed: -
Awesome! Also, why is the Japanese strategy guide not a detailed as the German and Soviet Union ones (by this, I mean the combat move part does not detail the exact units to attack each Chinese territory). Thank you!
-
Concerning Army Groups, various examples - and suggestions of how to handle these Battle Formations - will be described in detail, as part of the Strategy Guide.
-
@the-captain :muscle:
-
Due to technical difficulties, the United States Strategy Guide will not be available until the beginning of next week - hopefully.

@the-captain Bummer just read your previous post and was all jacked lol
