Hey, I remembered later I forgot to move my German subs that were over on the Japan side. Adjusted it in this version, hope you don’t mind.

RE: 1940 Global Alternate Universe (G40 Alt-Universe)posted in Other Axis & Allies Variants
Thanks for your interest in the Alt-Universe map.
At present I’m not really envisioning any major changes to the map. I did add city names to it where it used to just say “city”, but otherwise haven’t changed much. The only other thing I’m considering changing is giving it a more pastel color scheme.
The goal was to be playable on par with 1940 global which is why all 9 nations are included. I suppose it would be fairly easy for anyone to house rule that ANZAC is part of the UK (either with separate income or not). If you combined UK and ANZAC income though, it would probably require a bit of re-balancing because UK would have such a high income. Otherwise it would probably be a struggle to combine nations without significantly impacting balance, and also running out of physical pieces if you’re playing on a real board.
In general I view it as very close to completion. The game is reasonably well balanced as it is right now, although it might require some tweaking for the latest rule changes/simplifications that were made. But with the exception of some potential balance tweaks, re-coloring the map (which may or may not happen) and maybe making the rulebooks look nice, it’s pretty much where I want it to be.
Regarding the rulebook, I can get you a copy with no background image. If you want to PM me your email address I can send you one.
