For Surface Fleets, the Joes have an Admiral with an Aircraft Carrier. Probably non-nuclear and many more ships to form a Flotilla(3-20 ships).

As for Cobra, maybe they have a “Silent Partner”. Like the U.S.S.R.? Giving them a secret like base/some or all of the ships, in the Soviet Far East.

No use of Subs., especially the nuclear ones, would you trust Cobra with a nuclear powered sub.? Much less an aircraft carrier, where could Cobra get one?

Finally the Land Armor Personal Carriers type of unit. Even with the missiles they carry, unless they attack a docked Cruiser. They cannot probably fly hundreds of miles theses Missiles, over water to attack a Cruiser or another surface ships.

Are the Arctic armies mobile armies,?, hard to have your infantry walking around the ice fields. If for example two Snow Cats carrying 4-5 troopers. You would need thousands of theses units, to carry the mobile armies. As many would just carry extra supplies, fuel and foodstuffs, for extended patrols.

So is the Snow Cat/WOLF represent say twenty of them or so for each plastic unit. Oh well it may be solved some day.

As Cobra Commander in his whinny voice, cries out for his personal W.O.LF., as he makes his get away(before Joe can get him), thanks, Pellulo

The Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion ( aka G40 HRE) includes most of the rules from World at War by Xeno Games.

Study the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion carefully and you’ll find not only the balanced rules set - but also all the units that you need to play the game (print - cut out - use).

We included the most important parts of the rulebook from World at War by Xeno Games as well as the Axis & Allies Expansion I + II + III from Gamers Paradise by Phillip Schwartzer, during the development of the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

We hope that the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion will bring you and your play group tons of fun & challenge just as it has for hundreds of other Axis & Allies players around the World.

Considering that it is good to use as few chips or bucks as possible to fill each player’s amount, more high-value coins and fewer low-value coins should be used.
Looking at the needs for the Anniversary edition we cover all the others except the Global edition which has higher requirements and taking into account that the Anniversary, Europe, Pacific and Global editions also require extra amounts from the National Objectives Income.
It should also be taken into account that it is impossible to achieve all National Objectives at the same time because on the one hand some overlap between rival powers and also it is impossible for both sides or for all powers to excel at the same time. However, here the calculation takes into account the theoretically maximum amount that can exist.
Below I also list the quantities required in editions as well, including the revenues from the National Objectives, where they exist:
Starting IPC’s for Axis & Allies games:
1941: 55
Pacific 1940: 81 (157)
Spring 1942: 166
Anniversary: 171 (246)
Europe 1940: 149 (249)
Global 1940: 241 (373)

For the Anniversary edition:
IPC Chips with a value of 1:
It is possible that 6 quads with a value of 1 are needed at the same time. For example if all powers have income ending in 4 or 9 (eg 4, 14, 9, 19 etc). This means that 24 chips with a value of 1 may be needed.
IPC Chips with a value of 5:
Also if all powers have income ending in 5 to 9 at the same time (eg 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16 etc) they may need 6 tokens with a value of 5 at the same time. This does not change if there are chips with a value of 25 in the set because then, they complete the five after 25 to make a ten up to 30 for the amounts that follow (e.g. 31, 32, 33, 34, 41, 42 etc.).
IPC Chips with a value of 10:
If there are no chips of 25 then 20 chips with a value of 10 may be needed at the same time since the maximum total income reaches 246 IPC.
Having chips worth 25 greatly reduces the requirement for chips worth 10 used to complete tens between 10 and 25 or between 25 and 50 (eg 35, 45 etc). Therefore, the highest requirement for chips with a value of 10 occurs if all powers need two chips with a value of 10 at the same time, so 6 pairs, i.e. 12 chips with a value of 10.
So the perfect sets for the Anniversary Edition are:

Simple required set: 24x1 + 6x5 + 20x10 = 256 IPC with 50 chips Simple configured set: 25x1 + 5x5 + 20x10 = 250 IPC with 50 chips Full required set: 24x1 + 6x5 + 12x10 + 3x25 = 249 IPC with 45 chips Full configured set: 25x1 + 10x5 + 10x10 + 3x25 = 250 IPC with 48 chips

Likewise for the Global version:
IPC Chips with a value of 1:
If all powers have income ending in 4 or 9 (e.g. 4, 9, 14, 19 etc), 10 quads with a value of 1 may be needed at the same time, meaning 40 tokens with a value of 1.
IPC Chips with a value of 5:
Also, 10 chips with a value of 5 may be needed at the same time if the powers’ incomes end in 5 to 9 (eg 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 15, 16 etc). This does not change if there are chips with a value of 25 in the set because then, they complete the five after 25 to make a ten up to 30 for the amounts that follow (e.g. 31, 32, 33, 34, 41, 42 etc.).
IPC Chips with a value of 10:
If there are no chips of 25 then 29 chips with a value of 10 may be needed at the same time since the maximum total income reaches 373 IPC.
If there are chips with a value of 25 it greatly reduces the requirement for chips with a value of 10 which are used to complete tens between 10 and 25 or between 25 and 50 etc. Therefore, the highest requirement for chips with a value of 10 occurs if all powers need two chips with a value of 10 at the same time, so 10 pairs, i.e. 20 chips with a value of 10.
Therefore the perfect sets for the Global version are:

Simple required set: 40x1 + 10x5 + 29x10 = 380 IPC with 79 chips Simple configured set: 40x1 + 10x5 + 30x10 = 390 IPC with 80 chips Full required set: 40x1 + 10x5 + 20x10 + 4x25 = 390 IPC with 74 chips Full configured set: 40x1 + 10x5 + 20x10 + 5x25 = 415 IPC with 75 chips

@AndrewAAGamer Massa still plays at IAAPA, if you are interested at taking another crack at him. He is still one of the best I have ever played. Leemorrison is there too.

@captainwalker
Thanks Captain! I had a brief Y2K flashback of “saving space in software by not using 4 digits for the year.” Hopefully our great grandkids will roll their eyes and have a chukle when they have to post L2125 for their games! :-P
