Axis & Allies Global Confict - 3rd Edition Released

@SuperbattleshipYamato

Added new rule clarification:

If the British units in Paris are destroyed prior to France’s turn, France gets 4 infantry for free.

@Midnight_Reaper There was a group of pieces made by pewtercraft each had their rules with them for use with axis and allies from that time period of MB. not sure if the rules can be found anymore and pewtercraft has been done for a while. The ones I currently have.

Fortresses
Heavy artillery
Anti tank guns
Mechanized infintry (this is in game now)
Pt Boats
Troop Trains (versions of this are now in game)
AAA/At guns
Scorched earth ruins
Pocket battleships

Some of the ideas are good if they are tweaked a bit.

Tanks!  8-)

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

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)

RESISTANCE MOVEMENTS

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).

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)

YES!!! Thank you!!!

No problem

Yes CWO (one of our residents history buffs  :-)) has some good points. What would you do if you were Japan? Invade China or pool resources for attacking ANZAC, UK, Russia, or even the US! All these options are open to you!

Your reading to far into it. Just US,BRITIAN,and Russia against a well fortified GERMANY.Bridges must be taken to speed advance before Germany can blow them. Allies must hold supply lines,Germany can sabatoge and counter attack. Simple and fun.
