@VictoryFirst howdy. Yes, I am still in. I haven’t received any notification nor dice mails.
Now i just saw your post amd saved file.
I will proceed with my move, but likely only on Sunday, cause I am away till tomorrow night.

See you soon

@barnee

No, I didn’t get these pictures nor any pop-up text, but in an earlier game I did.
I will start a test game to check that again later on today.

@Seath

Howdy,

happy new year first of all!
Are you still looking for a game?
If so, I would recommend to play The Captains Expansion!
It got a lot of new units and game mechanics, that lift global40 to a complete new level!
All the rules may seem overwhelming at the beginning, but all the new units are intuitiv and “self-explaining” (paratroops can land behind enemies lines, German U-boats can form a Wolfspack, Armies and Army Groups can be formed etc.)

If you are interessted, let me know and I will be happy to start a game and guide you through the first steps.

@VictoryFirst said in Global 1940 & 1943 Expansions Game Reports:

Also a noteworthy thing that happened in our game - one German U-boat managed to reach Sydney and started to harass the ANZAC shipping there 😀

Indeed! This lonely wolf caused a lot of headacjes to the Australian high command and it took them several rounds to get rid of it.

@VictoryFirst

here we go.
I hope this one works again.

@The-Captain

Thanks. Barnee just answered my question. Further down in the rule book it says, that only 1 SS-Oberst per SS-Army is alowed.
My bad.

BR

@VictoryFirst howdy, are you still up for our game? BR

@The-Captain

Hello sir,

can only airfields that have existed since the start of the game can be upgraded, or can new placed Airfields be upgraded as well?

@barnee @Trout

Thanks

BR

@barnee Hello Sir, TripleA won´t let me start the game as “Play by Email”. I usually have the below fields filled out as in below screenshot, but I am not able to press the “Play” button.
Can you try it?

What do you mean with
“You Have To Move the Controlling/Attacking Player First then the defender or it won’t let you move the Attacker.” ? Which defenders would that be?

Part II - Different styles

Round 7 - 14

Round 7 Report
Germany continued heavy mobilization, launching an attack on Holland Belgium supported by Me 262 jets and infantry, claiming victory and eliminating British paratroopers. They launched a major offensive into Russia, capturing the capital after intense fighting that resulted in the destruction of Russian high-value assets including commissars, armor, and aircraft.

Russia mounted a defensive stand, repositioning forces in Bryansk, Caucasus, and Western Ukraine. However, they suffered catastrophic losses, including their capital, crippling their production and strategic capabilities.

Japan launched coordinated attacks in the Pacific, capturing Wake Island and clearing U.S. forces from Sea Zones 26 and 7. However, a failed land attack in Sumatra cost them heavily in infantry and elite units.

United States launched a transatlantic and Pacific redeployment, reinforcing Gibraltar and Hawaii while repositioning fleets and tactical bombers to Midway and Syria. Wake Island was lost, but a major Pacific buildup signaled preparation for counterattack.

China made no significant combat moves and remained economically starved.

Britain retook Ethiopia and fought naval battles in the Mediterranean. Strategic bombing of Normandy Bordeaux failed. Ground operations restored control in parts of Africa and Burma through tactical repositioning and airborne operations.

Italy expanded influence across the Middle East and Balkans. They seized Syria and Trans-Jordan using paratroopers and combined arms, consolidating gains with a Mediterranean fleet shift.

ANZAC performed minor logistics and collected income, impacted by convoy blockades.

France continued minimal resistance, focused on holding African territories.

Round Summary: Round 7 marked a turning point as Germany broke Russian defenses and occupied the Soviet capital. Japan gained naval superiority in key Pacific zones but suffered a costly land defeat. The U.S. and Britain strengthened their positions, while Italy pressed further into Allied territory.

Round 8 Report
Germany entrenched its hold in Russia and expanded its defense network with underground bunkers and Atlantic Walls across Europe. Limited offensive movements reflected consolidation strategy.

Russia, having lost its capital, showed minimal combat presence, focusing on survival with remnant forces and limited production from peripheral regions.

Japan reinforced northern Asia and shifted fighters across the Pacific. No major new gains occurred, as the empire braced for Allied retaliation.

The United States reorganized its fleets at Midway and Syria, landing troops on the island and deploying air forces into striking range of Japanese territory. They constructed harbors and airfields to prepare for sustained conflict.

China remained inactive militarily due to lack of resources.

Britain launched a paratrooper assault to reclaim Holland Belgium, successfully expelling German defenders. They liberated Malaya and expanded in India and Africa, coordinating with Soviet territory in Russia.

Italy faced continued Allied pressure. Although aggressive early in the game, Italy showed reduced offensive operations during this round.

ANZAC continued troop movements and logistics, with little to no combat activity.

France held minimal territory and no significant combat occurred.

Round Summary: Allied forces gained ground in Western Europe and Southeast Asia, with Britain reclaiming Holland Belgium and Malaya. The U.S. Pacific buildup threatened Japan, while Germany focused on defense after capturing Moscow.

Round 9 Report
Germany maintained fortified positions across Europe and Russia, with minimal offensive engagements. They reinforced key positions like Normandy Bordeaux and Western Germany with elite troops and advanced tech units.

Russia, operating from limited production zones, had no major attacks, surviving with scattered forces.

Japan attacked U.S. assets in Midway and the 25 Sea Zone but did not initiate new land campaigns. The empire faced increasing pressure as Allied air power massed nearby.

Russia was now completely under German control except for fringe units. No significant resistance remained.

Japan fortified northern Asia and shifted remaining elite units inland, preparing for an anticipated U.S. assault from the Pacific. Their territorial peak had passed, and they began focusing on defense.

The United States completed their Pacific fleet mobilization, placing more elite bombers and escort ships, and redeployed bombers and armor through the Middle East into Central Asia. Their global presence now threatened Axis power bases.

China had no forces of significance and collected no income.

Britain took Malaya and pushed into Trans-Jordan and Central Asia, coordinating with U.S. forces. They successfully liberated more territory from Japan and threatened Axis supply lines.

Italy showed little offensive initiative, reinforcing Syria and attempting to hold their shrinking Middle Eastern sphere.

ANZAC reinforced their transport fleet and positioned for future logistics support roles.

France retained small outposts, continuing symbolic resistance.

Round Summary: By Round 10, the strategic initiative had shifted clearly to the Allies. The Axis retained territorial advantages, but U.S. and British power projection had reached the heart of Axis holdings. Japan was on the defensive, and Italy’s overstretch exposed them to Allied encirclement.

Britain retook Iraq and Burma through ground and air coordination and eliminated German U-boats from the 109 Sea Zone. Tactical redeployments secured major resource regions in the east.

Italy continued to lose ground, with Iraq, Trans-Jordan, and parts of North Africa slipping from their grasp. Reinforcements in the Balkans showed desperation rather than strategy.

ANZAC executed multiple amphibious landings, successfully capturing Celebes and Dutch New Guinea. Their strategic island campaign began to pay off.

France remained on the map primarily in Egypt and Libya, with minimal movements.

Round Summary: Allied offensives succeeded in reclaiming Burma and Iraq while Axis forces fortified remaining territories. U.S. and ANZAC forces pushed deeper into the Pacific, and Japan’s position weakened under growing pressure.

Round 13 Report
Germany expanded its Total War infrastructure, placing elite Waffen units and tanks across Europe. Attacks diminished as they shifted further toward static defense, maintaining vast industrial power.

Russia was reduced to an auxiliary role with a minor production base and few units left.

Japan held firm across China and Southeast Asia, repelling Chinese advances in Yunnan with strong infantry and artillery support. They maintained critical fortifications.

United States reinforced Pacific islands and Gibraltar, moving elite and heavy units into the European and Pacific fronts. Strategic bombers and heavy battleships provided extended range for support.

China lost a major battle in Yunnan and remained on the defensive, with only one territory producing income. Their fighter and infantry capabilities were stretched.

Britain attacked successfully in Trans-Jordan and Burma, supporting the collapse of Axis influence in Asia. They also began staging forces closer to Europe.

Italy fortified Southern Italy and Northern Italy, with rail movements and para boosts in Ukraine. However, their influence outside Europe was nearly gone.

ANZAC launched successful operations in Celebes and Dutch New Guinea, securing more strategic objectives and IPCs. Their transport and air power created new options.

France continued minor troop movements and aided in holding North Africa.

Round Summary: Axis territory shrank under persistent Allied pressure. Germany’s economy peaked while Japan struggled to hold China. ANZAC and the U.S. shaped the Pacific campaign, and Britain led the offensive through Asia and the Middle East.

Round Summary: Round 14 solidified the Allied hold in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. Germany entrenched, Japan strained to hold territory, and the Allies gained momentum in all theaters. ANZAC’s expansion and Britain’s versatile offense tightened the strategic noose around Axis powers.

Here are the Final Statistics after Round 14 for each major nation, based on their income (IPCs collected), estimated total IPCs lost during the game, and approximate value of units still on the board. These are derived from the final placements, income summaries, and known combat losses throughout the campaign.

Final National Statistics (End of Round 14)

Nation	Income (End of Round 14)	Estimated IPCs Lost	Estimated Value of Units Remaining
Germany	81 IPCs	200+ IPCs	~440 IPCs
Russia	12 IPCs	300+ IPCs	<40 IPCs
Japan	100 IPCs	180–200 IPCs	~380 IPCs
United States	87 IPCs	~120 IPCs	~480 IPCs
China	0 IPCs	~100 IPCs	~10 IPCs
Britain	46 IPCs	140–160 IPCs	~320 IPCs
Italy	0 IPCs	110–130 IPCs	~60 IPCs
ANZAC	10 IPCs	~40 IPCs	~70 IPCs

Japan still has a high income but is facing increased territorial and naval pressure.

Russia and China are no longer functioning military threats.

Britain and ANZAC hold firm in Asia and Africa, providing strategic flexibility for the Allies.

Italy has effectively collapsed in terms of global reach but retains Balkan forces.

And here the last Chapter in yet another style.

Round 15 - 17

🛡️ Axis War Chronicle: Rounds XV–XVII – Triumph of the Reich
In the fifteenth year of the Great War, the bulwark of the Reich stood impervious. Our borders, reinforced with mighty Total War tanks, rocket artillery, and fortifications, defied the gathering storm from the west. With strategic mastery, we struck into Iraq and Kazakhstan, scattering the British and American presence in the east. Our enemies bled on our defenses, but the iron fist of Germania remained unshaken.

The Italians, embattled yet loyal, reclaimed Syria and Trans-Jordan by parachute and sea. Though their empire had narrowed, their steel still rang true across the Mediterranean and Balkans.

In Asia, the Rising Sun shone brightly once more. Japan’s disciplined forces recaptured Burma, crushed ANZAC incursions in Java and Celebes, and drove deep into Allied positions. Our naval might dominated the South Pacific, while the Imperial infantry swept through Queensland and repelled repeated Chinese uprisings.

In the seventeenth campaign year, the final blow was struck.

From the heart of Europe, the Wehrmacht launched its ultimate offensive. As dawn broke, tanks rolled, jets screamed, and our elite battalions surged eastward. Moscow fell to German hands once again, reclaimed by the Fatherland in a display of strategic brilliance and martial dominance. The Soviet heart was crushed under steel treads.

And with Moscow’s fall, the war was ended.

On Germany’s turn in Round XVII, the Allied resistance collapsed. The British and Americans, though brave, stood shattered and outmaneuvered. The Soviets lay defeated, their remnants scattered and powerless. China and France, reduced to shadows, could offer no reprieve.

The Axis had prevailed.

Let the chronicles record: this was our final triumph, our iron victory.

⚔️ Allied Annals of Liberation: Rounds XV–XVII – A Final Stand
As the fifteenth year dawned, the Allies surged across every front. British commandos liberated Holland Belgium and Southern France. In Asia, Indian divisions stormed Burma and Yunnan. American fleets spread from the Persian Gulf to the Coral Sea, carrying tanks, bombers, and hope.

ANZAC pushed hard in the Pacific, securing Celebes and Java, disrupting Japanese supply lines. China, though broken, fought one last battle for Yunnan, while France raised its tricolor over Tobruk and Libya once more.

In the sixteenth year, victory seemed within reach. Allied forces stood in Burma, Central Asia, and the heart of France. Bombers blackened Axis skies. German rocket batteries and elite tanks faced growing pressure. Italy collapsed outside the Alps, and Japan, though strong, was bending.

But it was not enough.

In the seventeenth year, as the Allies braced for final liberation, the Axis struck. Germany, silent and poised, launched a catastrophic assault eastward. With terrifying precision and overwhelming might, they crushed the last Soviet defenses. Moscow fell.

With the loss of the Soviet capital, the Allied cause was defeated. Despite heroic efforts and global advances, the Axis retained control of Europe and Asia’s heartlands. The Allies could no longer sustain resistance.

Thus ended the greatest war in history—not with the liberation of Europe, but with its domination under the black cross of the Reich.

Howdy.

here me J1 move.
During my non-combat move I did transprt 2 units (1 inf. + 1 art.) vial rail from Kiangsu to Kwangsi. I used these 2 Rail symbols, which appeared during non-combat move in Kiangsu, but are not visible after the non-combat move anymore.
Can these be used only once?
Can I place these 2 Rail symbols to another territory and move 2 units from there via rail? Or does I have to rail from Kiangsu only?

I purchased a paratroop and a LCV and played around with them in a local game. Somehow I can´t get the paratroops to move 3 spaces from Japan to Amur in Round 2 (I declared war on Russia) to attack it. Japan has an airfield, so the Paratroops should move 3. Or do I need to manually edit this move?
Same for the LCV. Do I need to manually edit the movement before Combat move?

Banzaiiiiii! …and good night!

No scramble in SZ97 this time.

I will get back to you later on regarding your above questions and some feedback. :-)

Hopefully with my italian move as well ;-)

@barnee

Ciao. Thank you for the above explanations. I have also read through the instructions again and think I have understood the new mechanisms of the new units and options so far. And I really have to say that the new options are phenomanl and I like them already! Brilliant work! It will take a while to use the possibilities and potentials of the new stuff, but that’s what makes it so appealing! I’m already looking forward to the new strategies!

I’ll see if I can cobble together some short notes for a quicker overview.

I think the new map and especially the sea zones are great. The new unit design still takes a bit of getting used to, although I prefer single-coloured units with different models or symbols to the new units. But that’s just a matter of taste and getting used to it. All in all, a very nice map and better than the standard G40 map.
I have played Global40 OOB in about 20 games so far and a few times live with friends.

And about the current game.
The Yank Fighter’s edit move is of course fine. I’m sure I’ll also forget something a few times.

G1 went well on the whole, although I would have preferred to take Bordeaux instead of the South of France. But I don’t want to complain!

Oh well, I will go to sleep now. My Italian move will follow tomorrow. It’s 1.00am here

Buena notte

@barnee

Howdy.

I accidantally purchased 1 Waffen_Oberst + 1 waffen_infantry total of 4 IPC) , although I had no units to convert in Berlin. I only noticed in the placement phase. Hence I converted them into an artillery and placed it in Western Germany.

The reparation of the Bismarck (BB) worked when following your procedure. :+1:

I moved your French baguette from Syria to Trans-Jordan.

And the Panzer General Heinz Guderian entered the game! :-) :muscle:

Hello,

I downloaded the latest 1.85 and it works like a charme.
I had to edit the Paratroops and the LCV+2 Inf from Tokyo to Kiangsu according to the rules.

Battles so far in my favor I guess, SZ97 (the Brits were surely on tea break!) or the battles in Asia were mostly without or only very few casualities! This usually comes back like a boomerang later on… :sa:

Good morning. I haven’t looked at the game map yet, but I guess in OOB the US can declare war after Japan DOW to UK/ANZAC. Thst is my understanding of the rules and I guess we used to play it in the normal G40 games.
Nevertheless, in case US cannot declare war to Japan yet, wouldn’t it be enough to adjust the income of the US (I think they receove a bonus when entering the war, so this amount could be reduced) instead of re-dping the whole turn?

@barnee

Ciao!

As mentioned we used to play as we are proceeding in our game - if Japan declares war on UK/ANZAC, the US can declare war on Japan in the same round. Issue is the unclear definition of “turn” - is this meant to be round or turn in the meaning of each nations turn per round.
Anyway, I was expecting that the US will declare war and attack right on, as we used to play it in our gaming group.

For future this scenarion can be more clearly defined in the wording. Furthermore I would suggest that in our scenario, the US cannot attack in the same round as Japan declared war on UK/ANZAC, but gets in war mode at the end of the round by collecting the bonus income for beeing at war and that the minor ICs are promoted to major IC. Just like TripleA does when Japan (or Germany or Italy) does not declare war on the US (or Japan in addition to UK/ANZAC) and the US enters the war in round 4. The US collects the bonus income at the end of round 3 + major IC.

Anyways, this little ambiguity should not affect our game. I was ‘prepared’ anyways and knew, that the US cann and very likely will also attack Japan right after the DOW to UK/ANZAC.
