The G40 Total Victory Expansion includes 4 Total Victory Winning Scenarios.

The G40 Total Victory Expansion is designed for players who want to play a longer A&A G40 Expansion game.

The Total Victory Winning Conditions are:

Winning Scenario 1: Total Military Victory Winning Scenario 2: Total Economic Victory Winning Scenario 3: Unconditional Surrender Winning Scenario 4: Total Destruction Victory

Each of these 4 Winning Scenarios are described in detail in the G40 Total Victory Expansion rules.

We are play testing these rules simultaneously with the G40 Atomic Bomb Expansion.

We are planning to include the Total Victory Expansion in the Wiking-Con events.

We expect to release these rules no later than 21st Aptil 2026.

This is the release of the Atomic Bomb Expansion.

Please, also refer to the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion thread where we have attached the Atomic Bomb Expansion rules.

Welcome to the site. The Captain will reply as well but you can find the rules to the Global 40 mod here https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37535/the-captain-s-global-1940-house-rules-collection

You can also play/learn the mod online with triplea, which allows one more time to get familiar with it https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36998/global-1940-and-1943-expansion-for-use-with-triplea

If you’re looking for an expanded version of G 40, You will most likely enjoy this :)

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).

@SGT-Pitbull

yep this is a nice addition. Only 2 games so far. First game US was the one that used it most in N Afirca with the Armored Inf.

Too weak to hit Europe in force so took the long route :)

One thing about SSR is they get Mass Tanks a turn later and then Total War, so it’s still a better buy to have Tanks.

Also good to have at least 2 or 3 to pair with the Grds though. Right now I’m finding them useful in Centarl Asia in case JPN gets uppity with the NAP :)

@The-Captain

Nice!

Since Early 2024 we have play tested the Strategic Bomber Commander rule.

The rules are similar to the Air Fleet Commander, but includes only Strategic Bomber units - and the production is limited in numbers as well as specific Nations.

Test results are positive, and we expect to release the Strategic Bomber Commander rulebook no later than Early 2026.

More information will follow in Late 2025.

@SGT-Pitbull

February - hopefully…

This is the release of the latest G40 Expansion rule:

Naval Task Force Commander

This is an Optional Rule.

@The-Captain

Finished reading it.

Looks great!

Hopefully in the future you can add Japanese impulse rounds to reflect their action in the Second Sino-Japanese War (maybe even simulate Khalkhin Gol).

@The-Captain thanks for that - only 6 players. Wow. I’ll plan to be one of them next year.

The 6th Northen European A&A Wiking-Con event 2025 has ended.

All winners are encouraged to post their Game Reports at the Global 1940 & 1943 Game Report thread.

Concerning Game Table 1 (Berserker & The Captain):
There was an OOB rule misenterpretation in Late 1940, where Japan attacked UK and ANZAC forces in the Pacific - and the US activated the US National Guard - but was held out of the War until Early 1941.
This flaw was not clarified until the US turn in Early 1941.

This mistake clearly rests on my shoulders.

We tried to fix it - and after a short evaluation of the overall game in Early 1940 and Late 1940, a plausible agreement was reached in order to continue the game, rather than starting the game over from the beginning.

Nonetheless we decided to cancel the Axis victory after the game ended in Late 1943.
We also rewarded Berserker with the prize (hand-painted units: 6 Waffen-SS Infantry & 4 Waffen-SS Panzer units) for putting up a good fight.

We are already training and preparing for the 7th Northern European Axis & Allies Wiking-Con event which we truly look forward to.

This is the release of the Elite Tank unit rules and the German Elite Waffen-SS Panzer unit rules.

These units are powerfull in both attack and defense.

During the final play testing in Late 2024 we concluded that Elite Tank units should be part of the G40 HRE Tournament Rules that are used during the 2026 G40 HRE World Championship.

The Elite Tank unit rules are also attached to the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion threat.
