They really should make this expansion pack. i created my own basically by buying stuff online so this would be unnecessary for me and many others but i would buy them. just to make sure they make more. I want an official “fix” to this damn G40 mess. not just some remake of the rulebook. that’s only one problem of the many they made. Sure they did it cut on costs but i am willing to pay more and if they dont want to increase the base version, MAKE US A DAMN EXPANSION PACK!

You can throw in many more sculpts too. i dont even care of there’s rules for them or not. I just want more. And i want it now.

Has there been talk of an expansion pack on HGD forums or Avalon Hill forums? if not we should organize a HUGE poll

stuffs not adding up.

WHAT is the purpose of this game? if i was looking at 1942 and 1941, as a noob i wouldnt know wtf to buy. theyre obviously not making a higher quality version of 1942 because they can just reprint with a better battle board. no point in making a new game. Besides the sculpts, i wouldnt even by this. probably has chits instead of plastic pieces for bases….

They should make a booster/upgrade box for G40 containing this:

• an axis and allies USB containing the fixed map that Young Grasshopper uses so people that dont use the forums can see it and refer to it or even print it out ( with permission of the creator to use the map, or is it theyres anyways? w/e ), and a pdf of the new rule book.

• the new global rulebook. ( that shows the errors on the pacific map )

• plastic pieces for all the bases, victory cities & aa guns

• more tacticals and mech inf for all the nations

• Chinese colored fighter and artillery

• paper money & holder for it ( like in monopoly )

• cardboard axis and allies dice turret ( the ones u see online at certain stores )

• more grey and red chips, black chips for 1 damage, orange for 5, and more Italian roundels !

• white colored inf for strict neutrals, red for pro axis, and baby blue for pro allies. and yellow colored jap inf for the Mongolians.

• an apology letter.

Theyll never do it, but they should. i have the described setup currently but id still buy this.

i just dont get the point of this new game…    if i made this booster pack a tread on HGD forums and we all vote on it like crazy, would we have a chance???

maybe even get them to print out and sell the fixed maps online??? Im pushing it. WOTC would only do this for their magic players i suppose…

i like the first scenario but how would i have it so it doesnt compromise carriers?  make carriers 15?

what if destroyers increase to 9 and cruisers to down to 11?

or just increase destroyers to 10?

Cruisers cost was reduced to 10, and battleships cost was reduced to 18?

or if subs increased to 8 and destroyers increased to 10?

what one would be more balanced? im trying to see if i can get cruisers to see more play without adding/changing rules and just messing with the costs.

Ok well i was talking to some friend and this is what some of our “solutions” are:    ( we dont like the extra movement )

1. give cruisers 1, 2 or 3 AA gun shots. ( we couldnt decide what would be most balanced, we would need the forum to help )

or

2. change cruisers att/def and bombard to 4.  then to balance BBs allow them to either roll 2 dice per ship and choose best result ( heavy bombers ) or raise the att/def and bombard to 5. someone even said 6 lol that = a 100% hit which i dont agree with but w/e im posting everything their saying.

or

3. cruisers can take 2 hits and BBs can now take 3 hits.

or

4. cruisers can carry 1 fighter. ( no tacts )  or even an infantry? <– but then if they bombard would they be able to deploy that inf. ?? idk.

lemme know what you think. dont flame just throwing stuff out there. im going to personally try some of these.  I like #2 with BBs acting like heavy bombers.

OK anyways the guy says he cant sontact the supplier because they close early on fridays and told me to call back tuesday afternoon. Ebay has Europe for like 100 bucks. why do you guys go to amazon lol

i remember they were not the same price. about 93-98 bucks each without tax. I called them about 5 months ago and they said they did not have any in stock but they were getting some in. So if it went out of print it must of been recently. Ill call and ask right now and let u guys know.

Hey young grasshopper, here in windsor ontario ( not windsor, U.K alot of people make that mistake lol ) theres a store with 2 copies of Europe 1940 and 2 copies of Pacific 1940.

btw i got a question about your custom map. is the only thing you changed on the map was add the bases to it? do you have a version without the bases on it that i can download? i tried to make my own but cant get the creases out when i scan it.

If your friend really wants G40 ill see if i can go pick it up and ship it to you?

so this is the last time i ever have to print rules out? unless WOTC releases a pdf?

ok ive had enough with larrys site. i dont know what to print out! he says he changed germany and the UK but its all the same color so idk what he changed and i dont wanna look for it. does anyone know if he even changed them?

ok so i reivised it a bit.

#1 is now called -  Deck Guns: Your Transports now defend at 1. If a sea-zone that is under attack is left with only defending transports, all transports are destroyed instantly.

2 - ( OK so i got a couple questions. if a cruiser engaged in sea combat during an amphibious assault, can it also bombard? <- i dont think so. Also, if it bombarded would it be able to deploy infantry during the assault? <- i dont think so either. thats the problem with having the cruiser carry the infantry. I want the cruisers to carry infantry because more people will buy them but i think that ability would go unused unless they just want the cruiser to ignore combat and just drop 1 infantry.) if i am wrong and they can drop while bombarding then i would love to have cruisers be able to carry inf. rather than destroyers. what would this be called if it just allowed cruisers to carry an infantry.

3 - ( basically an offshore bombardment ) but i can see what you mean by it being too complicated and possible overpowered…. what would replace this? how about:            Operational Major Industrial Complexes located on your capital have no deployment limit?

4 - i like this. this would be a thrid research chart so you can get more Mech. infantry researches and then they would be a great unit!

5 - what about triple the amount? quadruple? or take the roll you got, and triple/quadruple it?

6 - yes. Example: planes move into a territory, that territory contains 5 AA guns, a major IC, an airbase and a naval base. Before interception the AA guns fire on all planes, then interception ( air combat ) then the surviving bombers are assigned to the bases and the bases fire.        i just found it wierd that AA guns do noting against a SBR. if i dont use this reseasrch chart then i might make this my house rule. i dont know how big of an effect it would have… especially if i had radar lol.

1 - Enhanced Transports: Your Transports now field deck guns. They defend at 1 and they may be taken as casualties. Transports may now carry 2 of any land unit rather than 1 of any land unit +1 Infantry.

2 - Improved Warships: Destroyers and Cruisers can now move 3 spaces. Destroyers may transport 1 Infantry unit. ( follows Transport rules )

3 - Long-range Batteries: Artillery and Battleships can now fire on an adjacent territory that is currently under attack or being attacked. They may only fire once. The attack is limited to one Artillery or Battleship per friendly unit in the zone being fired upon. Artillery firing upon an adjacent territory do not support any attacking Infantry. Battleships score s hit at 4 and Artillery score a hit at 2.

4 - Infantry Transports: Mech. Infantry units that are paired up with an Infantry allow that Infantry to move with that Mech. Inf as a single unit. If moving to attack and the Mech. Inf is destroyed, the Inf is not destroyed.

5 - Devastating Raids: When conducting Convoy Disruptions, you may now cause the loss of double the amount of IPC’s that territory’s convoy produces.

6 - Advanced Anti-Air: Your Anti-Air Guns may now defend against Strategic Bombing Raids.

Please let me know what you think, if you think the names are inappropriate or the researches are too game changing or anything, whatever you wanna say, say it any input would be nice. I tried to make them add more variety to to game but i don’t want them to be overpowered.

besides the rules, and shading of convoys/kamikaze on the map, enough tactical bombers and mech inf, what else would they change?

will we get actual pieces for IC’s, bases and aa guns?

Well i was misinformed then.Do you think there is going to be a “global edition” or something that improves on AAG in the near future or do you think that AA42 is the standard and AAG is the deluxe for the next 5+ years ( excluding AA50 reprint )

I hear the sea-zones are being changed so that they number starting at 1 from right to left ( europe towards pacific ), the Water in both boards will be the same color AND they wont even be fold boards ( that is my biggest hatred towards the boards, especially on the pacific board ) they will be rigid and fit together nicely like the AA50 boards.

(some people on Harris game design are saying it is likely that some neutrals might change )

IF what i heard is true, i will start a petition to have them create an “update pack” that contains the new rule books, the board, the original missing Tac bombers for Japan ( additional mech inf and tac bombers for everyone would be nice there is barely any ) more chips and roundels, and what ever else is being improved on, such as better battle boards or something.

Also there’s rumor about the new editions containing plastic pieces for victory cities, all the facilities and neutral infantry. <– put these in the pack too.

and if not, i will sell my global game and buy the new editions. Haven’t had it for 3 weeks now, great condition only problem is the boxes were warped a bit ( mainly the europe one ) during delivery…  :|

If i roll multiple 6’s. Does that mean multiple breakthroughs?

Rules state you must roll all dice at once but doesnt say how many breakthroughs you can get.

also: if you dont roll a 6, is that dice wasted or do you repeat during your nexr turn until you roll a 6?

By upgrade i mean buy only the board and rulebook.

I dont know if I wanna buy the whole game all over again so soon.

Are the the same size as the original A&A paper money? because i have a holder for the original money and i would like to know if Battle Bucks will fit.
Thanks.

Yeah i guess but i would like to have pieces anyways. Those anchors are pretty interesting. ( I’d rather have a base than an anchor though ). where did you find those anchors?

no one uses any pieces for naval bases? i know some of you make them yourselves but is there not anything i can buy?
