We have attached the IPC Tracking Chart here below and also at pg. 1 in this thread.
The IPC Tracking Chart is quite useful and gives players an exact overview of the economic situation anytime during the game.
The chart should also be saved after each game in order to evaluate any game when a Strategic Plan needs either to be modified or revised for future games.
We advice all players on both sides to print and use the chart in each game - especially during FTF board games.
Hi Trout,
Is this an OOB game ?
If this is a G40 HRE game, where are the expansion units…?
What are the LEGO units in Middle East representing…?
Great invention - use what you have to make it work.
Please note:
The G40 HRE rulebook includes all the original Full Color game pieces (markers & roundels) that you need to play the game.
You just need to print out these pages in the rulebook - and cut/punch out the roundels & markers.
You can print and cut out the Army Boards etc. in the same way.
This is what most players do - as you can see on this Game Report thread - which also saves space on the game board.
Self-propelled Artillery can be upgraded to Waffen-SS Artillery in the same way as regular Artillery.
Note:
Waffen-SS Artillery can move 2 spaces. So it would be more economically sound for the German player to upgrade regular Artillery to Waffen-SS Artillery rather than upgrading Self-propelled Artillery.
We don’t have any plans to revise the Strategy Guide Global 1940, since a revision is a major effort.
Instead we have added some additional strategies to this thread - so players can read through this thread to get the big picture.
Thanks for your comment.
We have ended play testing - and the G40 Self propelled Artillery unit rules are now added to the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
Study the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion thread pg. 1.
Our game experience shows that the Soviets can use the Air Fleet Commander with great success - especially when US and/or UK send their Lend-Lease Air Units to the Soviets.
Germany usually have at least 2 Luftflotte - operating on the Eastern Front and in the Western Europe sphere.
The rules concerning Air Fleet Commander has been clarified & updated - see more the revised attached pdf file for information at Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
Great Game Report,
It seems that Germany is under pressure… with the Allied landings in Western Europe - and the Soviets in Romania…
We really look forward to the next Game Report
Captain
Play testing has ended. The rules are now available at the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion thread, pg. 1 (see Optional Rule No. 22).
The latest G40 Expansion units has been added at pg. 1 in this thread:
Self-propelled Anti Aircraft Artillery and Waffen-SS Self-propelled Anti Aircraft Artillery
These units are part of the G40 HRE Tournament Rules.
We appreciate that you play with Gentlemanly Warfare.
We support that that the Soviet player should be allowed to purchase RAC Infantry in Late 1942.
We suggest that the Soviet player should receive 10 IPC - and use or save them - before the German player starts in Late 1942.
Important:
From the beginning of the Soviet players turn in Late 1941, the USSR receives 1 Free Tank unit in each round. See more information at pg. 13 in the rulebook.
Remember:
The Timetable should be available at the game table. This is a big help for each player.
Refer to the Timetable each time you start planning your next turn.
You could make it more manageable by doing the same as we do: see below.
I’ll also attach the pdf files later.
Here below, we have attached the most recent Timetable which is the one that we use during Tournaments - like the Wiking-Con events etc.
So far, players must manually keep track of the extra Optional Rules that are not represented at the Timetable.
Note:
The Naval Commander rule is still not available, since play testing has not ended yet.

Yes - we started using in its current form at the A&A Wiking-Con in November 2025.
This weekends A&A Wiking-Con is almost over.
The last game is still ongoing between Dark Knight (Axis) & Keld (Allies).
Very balanced - they are now in Late 1942 - and still no decisive battles…
All games are registered with the IPC Tracking Charts.
