I know there are other forums on this but I wanted to collect the best ideas here. What minor powers work best (balancing wise and being fun), preferably those without having to buy lots of extra pieces/ones that can use pieces from other games. But if one requires purchasing pieces and is really good feel free to add. Also not G40 specific but that tends to be the most common for minor powers. Thanks!
Advice to Renegade! What is on your top 10 for adjustments to G40 3rd edition?

@The-Captain No, I was trying to grab their attention with this post. I’m sure someone lurks here once in a while. I haven’t seen Larry in 9 months. My schedule changed so Saturdays are not available for 6 months.
-
@FranceNeedsMorePower I’m flexible. I always prefer the good guys but need to get better at pillaging and plundering.
-
@FranceNeedsMorePower I get it. Tech is extremely poorly implemented. Of course, historically, every tech listed WAS ACTUALLY part of the war by 1945 or turn 12. So it feels unrealistic to not have it as an option. With anniversary tokens preferably.
-
@crockett36 I’m not picky either, I will let you choose.
-
@crockett36 zero pressure to win or do well. playtesting is about kicking the tires. having fun.
-
@crockett36 Well, I want this to be your baby so I will choose the Axis. I’ll try to set it up by tomorrow morning.
-
@crockett36 pm me your email.
-
@crockett36 And any last minute set up changes?
With playtesting I like to have targeted variables. That way we can see the results clearly. I will try and play Abbott to your Costello. I will likely do a Russia crush. Let’s play 3 rounds and see where we are. I’m assuming from the get-go that Japan will have to win this war.
I am going to ask for 1 infantry extra for the Germans in Po, Ro, Nor, Ge, Slo, GSG. That will give me a little hope for the march east.
-
@crockett36 Sure, for your awareness I have not done in actual triplea game before only sent saved games back and forth. Could you do that or no? If no I could try to look into my triplea.
-
Okay,
For your information, about a year ago I sent the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion rulebook to Renegade Company.
As well as the Global 1943 Expansion rulebook.
They were gratefull for this.
But I haven’t heard from them since.
I suggest, that you contact Renegade and advice them on your plans.
-
@The-Captain I wonder why you have not heard from them. Personally that kinda seems rude of them. Maybe not though.
-
@FranceNeedsMorePower you can probably guess that there are a lot of people with a lot of good ideas about what should be done with analyze so it is not surprising to me that he hasn’t heard from renegade.
-
@FranceNeedsMorePower I love helping people get started. It’s kind of what I do.
-
@crockett36 Makes sense.
-
@crockett36 I would need help with triplea unless if you just want to sent saved games back and forth.
-
I suggest that you move your posts concerning your TripleA game to another thread, since this thread is for crockett’s Advice to Renegade.
-
@The-Captain good idea
-
Start in 1939 or get rid of France. And draw the map alot more accurate. Go with D12 system and add about 4 new units.
-
@Imperious-Leader 39 start would be great for the “this version is newer and better” story. Could add a new set of sculpts/colors or two- “Allied Minor Powers” to occupy Poland & Greece in Europe / Dutch holdings in the Pacific, and perhaps also (although less needed) some “Axis Minor Powers” to occupy Finland & the Balkans in Europe / Thailand in the Pacific.
RE: Dice, they seem more likely to go D10 given North Africa. Either is fine.
What about spinning off the Soviet Union into a third side/Power to simplify Mongolia rules and give the Chinese KMT (as well as Turkey, Persia, Eastern Europe, and the Allies in general) some ornery Communists to worry about?
-
Are you all advocating for a different game, not an adjustment to g40?
