@axis-dominion Yeah, Allies have had some rough dice - only way I can beat you, I think.

@gamerman01 Game on!

In Late 2019 the Veteran Members Group of the Danish Axis & Allies Foundation started working on the Global 1939 Expansion.

The Global 1939 Expansion is based on the OOB Global 1940 game.

The G39 Expansion starts the game in Late 1939. This is 1 round before the OOB G40 game begins.

Introduction:

The Set Up for the G39 Expansion is based on Historical troop placements - as far as game play allows.
Also taken into account is the OOB Global 1940 Set Up, since the OOB G40 setup reflects the Military and Political situation in Early 1940 - as far as game play allows.

The G39 Expansion includes the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

The G39 Expansion features among other things:

The German invasion of Poland The Soviet invasion of Eastern Poland, Baltic States and Bessarabia French Naval units in the Mediterranian Sea The Soviet invasion of Finland German Late 1939 Special Purchase, Combat & Movement Ability

The Global 1939 Expansion mostly concerns the Western hemisphere.

The Eastern hemisphere (Asia & the Pacific Theatre) have only very few changes compared to the OOB 1940 setup - as well restricted movements and purchase of units.

We expect to release the G39 Expansion no later than Early 2026

More information will follow soon…

It would be interesting to test out. A set J3 and G3 would make it easier for the allies to make plans.
