This isn’t really answered in the rule book so maybe this would fall more into house rules…

Europe 1940 / Global question

Can players of either the axis team or allied team talk strategy to each other (person to person) on how they want to attack their opponents or does every power have to operate separately and try to read what their team is doing?

For example. Player one is Germany and player 2 is Italy. Can they have a person to person conversation where the German commander agrees to build up and take only Russia and have Italy focus on Africa for IPCs but in return Italy has to reinforce Germany with troops. Is that allowed?

Example 2. All team powers are barred from person to person conversations about team strategy and just have to read the battle field on when to help an ally.

It doesn’t specifically state in the rule book so I didn’t know if this is part of the a and a rules or just house.

Thank you in advance to any answers. If you have played one way or another please tell me how it went and what you like better. Input is always welcome.
