Using the Global War 1914 Diplomacy Model In G40?

Since Early 2024 we have play tested the Strategic Bomber Commander rule.

The rules are similar to the Air Fleet Commander, but includes only Strategic Bomber units - and the production is limited in numbers as well as specific Nations.

Test results are positive, and we expect to release the Strategic Bomber Commander rulebook no later than Early 2026.

More information will follow in Late 2025.

The updated OPERATION FELIX-HEINRICH includes the revised SetUp of units in Spain that are described in the G40 Strict Neutral Expansion rulebook.

Wow, that’s so awesome! 9 upvotes too…, I was about to upvote but given that 9 is your magical number I’ll keep that as it is :)

Lol my most rare dice moment was when I was attacking with nine tanks and they all missed, but this roll is even more bizarre! 😀

This rule is part of the Axis & Allies Global 1940 2E, House Rules Expansion.

This rule allows players to move a specific number of land combat units in order to reinforce front line units, build up forces for future offensives or simply as decoy to confuse the enemy, etc.

Paratroopers and Soviet Partisans can both become handy in order to disrupt enemy Strategic Rail Movement.

Anyone have any alternate setups or house rules for this game?

@caesar-seriona Historically Mussolini declares war when there is no doubt Paris is going to fall to Germany.In a G40 game Germany often combat moves through N.Italy and NCM air units to S.Italy,both of which require Italy to be not neutral.
So to keep Italy neutral until UKs turn Germany would need to retreat from Paris{leave it for Italy to take perhaps}and NOT enter Italian territory G1.

First of all, no country should ever be allowed to build units in a captured enemy capital/factory/production centre in any Axis and Allies game ever period.

I will add the Munich factory next game, this is for me just ahead of the other candidates Ruhr and Alsace.
Benefits of Munich are that its sufficiently well behind the front line to begin with, but allows every German home region to be reached by newly built units in one turn.
It also allows Germany to reinforce Austria’s drive in the south.

Will probably also make Petrograd a production centre and Russian capital (though Russia can move the capital to Moscow once in a game.

I’ve considered Canada as the magic 12th PC, perhaps with reduced starting units.

A completely different approach to placement is:

New units may be placed in any home region still contiguous with the capital subject to the following limits each turn:

Capital: 3 units

Controlled home region: 2 units

Contested home region: 1 unit

In addition

UK - Canada: 6 x IPC of units

UK - India 6 x IPC of units

UK, F, G, I - Africa 6 x IPC units (Askaris only)

1.2.6 French Foreign Legion (France only)
Build on: 1 Légion Étrangère per turn may be built in any (Free) French territory under infantry placement rules.
Specialty: Légion Étrangère can enter deserts. Once it enters or leaves a desert its movement stops for that turn. In a desert it can only be attacked by aircraft.

The above rule is a rule which can be used with World at War. I use the Airfix Foreign Legion miniatures of scale 1:72. Besides these all my heavy infantry are from Atlantic, Revel, Airfix, Esci, Odemars and others.

You could also replace your regular infantry, which I have done and paint them and put them on the board. See what these guys made of it: http://www.thewargamerspage.com/axis_and_allies.htm
They painted all their Revised pieces. Looks awesome doesn’t it. I also have political rules. You can use the Roco Leaders of the second world war figures in scale 1:87. Hard to find, because they were destroyed in the USA, because it contained Nazi figures such as Goering and Hitler. It also contains Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin and Mussolini.
As you can read in the rule, the Global War map has deserts. It also has mountains and rivers. There are oil producing countries. You can use the provisions from Axis and Allies Battle of the Bulge as oil markers if you wish to make a house rule out of it. There is too much I could write here. I am working on the latest rule version and at the moment very busy finishing my first year at school, so more info will follow later. Sorry I don’t have a link to the Global War. If anyone can provide such a link I would be grateful.
