Axis and Allies Global 1940: Armies vs Navies (compatible with TripleA)

Using the 1941 map from TripleA I simply turned all territories on the Pacific side into neutrals (impassable), and changed all the IPC incomes to remain the same.

The Allies win by capturing Berlin. Germany wins by capturing two Allied capitals. All other rules stay the same. Let me know if you would like to play this with me.

Also some additional rules

All the same rules from Axis & Allies 1942 Second Edition apply, but there are some changes:

ORDER OF PLAY

Germany France Japan China Italy United Kingdom
and after they join: The Netherlands (in war with Germany and Italy but passive until the war with Japan) United States (neutral at the beginning) Soviet Union (neutral at the beginning)

ADJACENT TERRITORIES

The following is a list of what territories and sea zones are adjacent between the east and west edges of the map:
Alberta/Saskatchewan/Manitoba territory is adjacent to Western Canada.
Central United States is adjacent to Western United States.
Southeastern Mexico is adjacent to Mexico.
SZ 11 adjacent to SZ 64.
SZ 28 adjacent to SZ 64.
SZ 51 adjacent to SZ 64, 65 and 66.
SZ 52 adjacent to SZ 66.
SZ 64 adjacent to SZ 11, 28, and 51.
SZ 65 adjacent to SZ 51.
SZ 66 adjacent to SZ 51 and 52.

RESISTANCE MOVEMENTS

If the Allies free a French territory in Europe, two additional infantry of the French Resistance join them for each of the three territories (only once per game).
If the Allies free Norway, two additional infantry of the Norwegian Resistance join them (only once per game).
If the Allies free Yugoslavia, three additional infantry of the Yugoslav Resistance join them (only once per game).
If the Allies free Greece, two additional infantry of the Greek Resistance join them (only once per game).
If the Allies free Holland Belgium, one additional infantry of the Netherlands Resistance joins them (only once per game).
If the UK or USA forces free Poland, four additional infantry of the Polish Resistance join them (only once per game).
If the Axis powers occupy the Baltic States, 1 infantry units of the Baltic Resistance joins them.
If the Axis powers free Ethiopia, 2 Italian Resistance infantry units join them.

GAME DURATION

The gameplay is shortened in the following manner: Each player has 5 minutes for the Purchase & Repair units and the Combat Move Phase.
UNIT PROFILES

The units characteristics are the same as those in Axis & Allies 1942 Second Edition. New units are:

Minor Factory – can produce only 1 unit per turn. Minor Factories represent relics and cannot be purchased during the game. All other characteristics are same as those of an Industrial Complex.

Fortifications – can be purchased for 15 IPCs and they cover only one border with one adjacent territory or sea zone. They increase the defensive capabilities on infantry units from 2 to 3. If a territory with fortifications is captured by the enemy they are destroyed.

ADDITIONAL CLARIFICATIONS

Neutral countries are invited to war during the Purchase units phase (and they join the fight immediately – in case of USA, the Netherlands and Soviet Union later during the same turn).

Wars are declared and surprise attacks are made in the Combat Move phase.

At the beginning of the game the Allies are: UK, France and the Netherlands. If Japan attacks for example the Netherlands it automatically means war with the other Allies. China joins the Allies when Japan goes to war with them. USA joins the Allies if it is in war with Germany or Japan.

VICTORY CONDITIONS

The Allies start with 14 and the Axis with 5 victory cities.

The game ends after the 7th turn (short game) or after the 10th (long game). If the Axis powers don’t achieve victory by then, it is considered to be a victory for the Allies. The Allies can also win if they at any point control Berlin, Rome and the Okinawa island (or Tokyo instead of Okinawa). In that case the game ends instantly.

The Axis powers can win under following conditions:

The Axis control 12 out of 19 victory cities (and have control over their own capitals) – the game ends instantly when the 12th city falls.

OR

The Axis control London, Moscow and Calcutta (or any USA victory city or Sydney instead of Calcutta) at any point and have control over their own capitals – the game ends instantly.

NEUTRAL POWERS

All neutral territories can be accessed by Axis or the Allies, but it is considered as an act of war (occupation). For example the UK player may occupy Persia in order to attack Iraq or connect with the Soviet Union forces. The following are the defensive capabilities of each neutral state:

EUROPE

Sweden: 6 infantry, 1 fighter
Finland: 4 infantry, 1 tank (can join the Axis)

@georgemak1:

A question for the HBG crew. Any idea when the next German set is due?

November

Well, if we have a Cold War game, then how about after the USA and USSR nuke everything we have a new game of “Rise of the Machines”, humanity struggles to survive against the Terminators.

This map is huge 15 square feet wow I can use my Axis and Allies Miniatures for this game sweet. I wish, I fear I will never have enough planes though  :x

These rules are added on to the rules posted in the post with the maps and country cards
While setting this game up and trying to give it a realistic twist

National Advantages

Kaitan torpedoes-- Kamikaze subs Hit on 4’s, does not need to be next 2 red territory.

Italy- I could use some help here. This is what I was thinking, you really can’t give them a ligitamate Nat’l advantage because the majority of there equipment was crap. Add that to the even crappier training there military overall recieved, backed by their puny production rate, I say give them MORE ships at start of game. Italy did have a rather large Surface fleet, bigger then Germany’s Maybe they get another BB and transport with there fleet. This would be their Nat’l. Advantage.

Tech Tree-
1. Jet Fighters
2. Super Subs
3. Long Range Aircraft
4. Heavy Bombers-- Cost 18 IPC’s Move 6,a4,4-d1, can carry two Paratroopers-- Heavy Airtransports, Cost 7 IPC, move 4 a0-d1 May move two paratroopers or Infantry
5. Combined Bombardment
6. Heavy Tanks  Cost 8 IPC, move 2, 4-4
7. Long Range Artillery- Defending Arty gets Prilimanary bombardment. 1 die per Def. Arty need to roll 1’s to hit. Attacking Artillery that is not performing a combat move may choose to support other units attacking adjoining territories. 1 arty per attacking unit.
A roll of a 1 is a hit  This is also a prliminary bombardment
8. Mechanized Infantry-Tanks may carry 1 Inf
9. Super Carriers- can carry 3 fighters
10*. Industrial Tech. Roll a d6, 1-2 Army 3-4 Navy 5-6*  Airforce IPC reduction in costs. Army- 1 Airforce- 2 Navy- 2 *Battleships -3
11. ParaTroopers/ Air transports-  Paratroopers- Cost 4 IPC, Move 1 attack 2 Defend 2  air transport
Airtransport cost 6 IPC move 4 a0,d1 may carry 1 paratrooper or 1 Inf.
12. Radar- May fire 2 AA that defend on a 2, 2 Die. 1AA = 1 die @ 2, 2AA = 2 Die @ 2, no more then 2 AA may fire from 1 Territory.
*

Other Rules That should be included

Japan gets it’s First Strike As per pacific Rules must be used first turn
Russia Can’t Attack it’s first turn unless attacked first, or maybe Germany gets a surprise attack against only  Russia, like japans
surprise attacks
US control over China be as similar to Pacific rules as you can, this includes builds, Or china can be it’s own country with a 9 IPC Starting income China goes simultanious with US player

Neutral countries British D-day Pieces
Italy Yellow Jap Pieces Revised- Italys Tanks were crappy and small also, and at least they are not fielding Shermans
AA guns- You can Have as many AA guns as you want per territory but gain the benifit of only having one. Only 1 AA gun per territory per turn may fire. This is also true for V-2 Rockets.

If you want utilize your new trucks that came with Battle of the bulge game,
Trucks- Cost 4 IPC’s  move 3 Attack 0 Defend 0  Transport 1 Inf. + 1 Arty or 1 Inf  Can be captured not destroyed If a territory is lost that contains a truck the new owner may immiediatly use the truck as it had not moved and was his at the begining of their turn. Passengers Dismount upon contact with the enemy and defend as normal. Trucks movement ends when something dismounts. Trucks can Load move load and move again

Also this map is perfect if you don’t neccassarily want russia involved right away, kinda like Xeno games world at war.Llots of possibilities with this set up

Russia collects Half their income until  war is declared on them or the 5th turn, then they are automatically at war  Can only attack neutral territories or chimese territories intil they are at war

Now any one got an idea for National Advantage’s for Italy or maybe china?

When will the game be ready and where can we purchase it? Thanks.
