The Timetable for the Tournament rules has been updated.

We have attached the revised pdf file at the first post in this thread.

@Faramir

I suggest that we wait and see what happens, until Crockett has made contact and have a constructive dialog with the Renegade Company.

Information about this event has been updated.

The 8th Northen European A & A Wiking Con is scheduled to begin in March 2026.

In Late 2025 we’ll announce the exact dates.

All games during this event are OOB Axis & Allies Global 1940 games combined with the Axis & Allies Global 1940 HRE rules.

All Axis & Allies players that participate must be able to play with the Axis & Allies Global 1940 HRE rules.

Players who play with the Axis & Allies Global 1940 HRE rules for the first and second time during a Wiking Con event are playing with only a limited number of rules from the Axis & Allies Global 1940 HRE rules.

Those rules are attached (pdf file) below.

We have an event from Friday 31st October to Sunday 2nd November this year.

Look under “Events” and search for 6th Northern European A&A Wiking-Con 2025.

@Feenrisman

Hi Fennrisman,

You sign up here.

Where do you live ?

Before you sign up you should notice those subjects:

• All participating players must be familiar with the entire Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion rulebook and the Optional Rules & Units that are described as part of the Tournament rules (see above).
• We have decided that the 6th Northern European A&A Wiking-Con 2025 is scheduled for 1 game. So we have more than enough time to finish this game.
• At this point there are 8 players signed up - all are Veteran Players (minimum 10 games G40 HRE)
• Each game is 1 vs. 1 (1 player controls all 3 Axis Powers and 1 player controls all Allied Powers).
• To participate you must have completed at least 3 games of G40 HRE - either on TripleA against at least 1 other player or on game board against at least 1 other player.

The last time The Captain was defeated was by Dark Knight in March 2020 playing the Axis.

In Late 1942, a Japanese Naval Task Force with 7 Transport units, 2 Destroyers & 1 Cruiser unit in Sea Zone 36 was attacked in wawes in this order by:

• 5 US Fighter units from Philippines (all US Fighter units were eliminated with the loss of 2 Japanese destroyers )
• 1 UK Cruiser, 1 Destroyer, 1 Fighter (all UK units were eliminated with the loss of 1 Japanese Cruiser and 4 Transports)
• 1 ANZAC Destroyer + 1 Cruiser + 2 Fighter units (only 2 ANZAC Fighters survived with the loss of the remaining 3 Japanese Transports)

The Japanese offensive operations in the Pacific was halted and the Japanese units in China were cut off from any reinforcements until Early 1944.

This was the chance that the Allies had waited for - and an Allied Economic Victory was achieved in Late 1944.

We have corrected a flaw in the text (number) of Soviet Infantry units in Novgorod.

The total number of Soviet Infantry units in Novgorod is 17.

Please refer to the Global 1939 Expansion rulebook at the top of this thread.

@Alexander

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for your message.

We truly appreciate your announcement.

We suggest, that you join one of our Axis & Allies G40 Wiking-Con events before you sign up for the G40 HRE World Championship.

When you begin to study the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion, please contact us for questions anytime you need help.

We are only one click away.

@barnee

Both the Axis and the Allies each need 31 IPC to win an Economic Victory.

Interesting…

Great Game Report.

Total number of recorded Axis & Allies games in 2025 played by The Captain: 20

2025: Axis & Allies Global 1940:

• 0 Defeats (Allies)
• 0 Defeats (Axis)
• 10 Victories (Allies)
• 10 Victories (Axis)

My suggestion would be to contact Renegade (and maybe also Mr. Larry Harris) at first - and ask if they are interested at all in starting up this massive project.

I imagine, that most G40 players - if not the entire Axis & Allies Community - would also have to support this effort.

I suggest that the following should also be considered:

1. Who would purchase this game ?
2. What would the cost be ?
3. What are the future plans for this game when the game is completed and ready for sale (any expansions in the future etc.?)
4. How many games must be sold before it is a succes?

Is the new Axis & Allies North Africa a succes ?

Since 2023 we have discussed the developement of a similar project in the Danish Axis & Allies Association, based on the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

We concluded that the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion (G40 HRE) was more than sufficient enough to entertain G40 players for at least the next decade.
So we decided to keep developing the G40 HRE by gradually adding more complexity and multiple options over the coming years.

We have informed Renegade about this - and announced that Renegade can use any units & rules from the G40 HRE for whatever they want (for free, naturally).

The Danish Axis & Allies Association is of course available for further information and help.

@FranceNeedsMorePower

I suggest that you move your posts concerning your TripleA game to another thread, since this thread is for crockett’s Advice to Renegade.

@crockett36

Okay,

For your information, about a year ago I sent the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion rulebook to Renegade Company.

As well as the Global 1943 Expansion rulebook.

They were gratefull for this.

But I haven’t heard from them since.

I suggest, that you contact Renegade and advice them on your plans.

@crockett36

Hi Crockett,

What is the back ground for the “Advice to Renegade - G40 3E” ?

Do you have any correspondence with Renegade Company concerning if they are planning a G40 3E ?

@barnee

We decided to create a new set of Tournament Rules for general use in all Wiking-Cons as well as the 2026 World Championship.

This set of Tournament rules is described at the “Events” thread, inkluding the Wiking-Con Tournaments.

Total number of recorded Axis & Allies games in 2025 played by The Captain: 19

2025: Axis & Allies Global 1940:

• 0 Defeats (Allies)
• 0 Defeats (Axis)
• 10 Victories (Allies)
• 9 Victories (Axis)

@barnee

True, the Weapons Developement is Early 1943.

We’ll correct this flaw asap on the TimeTable.

It seems that the US Elite Tank unit is correctly dated at the TimeTable as well as the rulebook - Late 1944.

We have updated the attached pdf files at the first post in this thread.

To all Axis & Allies G40 players:

The deadline for players who want to join this event is Monday 18th August 2025 12.00 am CET.

Players who have already signed up for this event have received confirmation by e-mail or phone.

Important:
Only 2 more players can participate, since all other seats are already taken.

Note:
The revised Wiking-Con Timetable for Tournament Units & Rules is now attached to the first post in this thread.
