Hi vodot,
Thanks for your question - we truly appreciate it.
As we gradually developed the G40 HRE our intention was from the beginning that any player who had already played the OOB G40 version should easily be able to use the G40 HRE.
Our intention was not to speed up the game.
We are convinced, that when you play Axis & Allies you should have as much Fun & Challenge as possible from each game - take the time you need, de-stress - and enjoy the ride.
We are convinced that Larry Harris and his great team did their homework very well with the design of the OOB G40.
As most players have experienced, it is true that the OOB game is somewhat imbalanced.
Multiple “Home Rule Solutions” have been introduced - most common is the bid system.
We have kept the OOB G40 game board map as well as the SetUp intact. The only differences between the OOB and HRE from Game Start are an expansion of the Pacific Ocean with Increased IPC Values and additional Historical Military Units SetUp.
Our Veteran Play Group is highly active and we play almost weekly with the HRE.
Twice a year we evaluate new ideas and suggestions from players concerning additional expansion rules.
This keeps us sharp - and we still have Fun & Challenge on a massive scale.
When you combine the OOB G40 with the G40 HRE we are convinced that you have a great game that will last for decades.
If Renegade would produce a new Axis & Allies Global game it should include more territories, more sea zones - and most important of all: the HRE.
