Hi everyone!

I’ve been working on this rules package for quite some time and its finally time to release it!
Disclaimer: Its primarily supposed to be played on Tabletop Simulator, where a mod for it exists. I havent tested playing it over the board, which is probably more difficult without extra material.

Anyway, the main goal was to divert away from J1 Meta with Bidding, to a setup, thats hopefully more balanced and flexible. Meanwhile I tried to make possible and encurage some important historic tactics and decisions like Submarine Warfare or the attack on Pearl harbor.

Explore a completely new version of Axis and Allies 1940 Global!

Canada as a playable nation, Vichy France, Lend & Lease and Trans-Sibirian Railroad rules and many more adjustments!

Wih tons of new strategic options and (hopefully) more balanced. You are invited to test it out yourselves.
If you find loopholes, ambiguities in the rules or broken strategies, leave a comment or message me!

Also added a dev comment to share my thought processes.

@SuperbattleshipYamato Oh I wasn’t aware we were using battle calculators. I guess bad communication on my part. I will have to use them going forward now.

Well that did not go well.

I’m changing my turn up a bit if you don’t mind. That or I will surrender.

I was going to try to sneak and take Leningrad but that won’t win me the game.

I see no possible way to win and with that fact I surrender.

GG.

Next time I will be making sure I use the battle calculator.
