More games I play the more I like the neutral crush for the Allies. Hell, with a heavy enough EUS buy in round 1 the US can be in Spain as early as US2.
I must not think outside the box enough. US can attack neutrals when not at war with the Axis and before they are brought in during round 4?
Playing a little devil’s advocate here and my be off my rocker. Is it more beneficial to let the Soviets take Norway so they gain 6 IPCs from it (3 for Norway, 3 for NO of taking German owned territory)? You can add another 5IPCs (2 for Finland, 3 for NO of taking Pro-Axis territory) for the Soviets when they take Finland.
keep them there but in moscow build 10 inf. every turn and retreat your troops back to moscow but keep some in the other cities and ukraineÂ
If you are playing with multiple players and only control Russia, how is that fun?
Thanks. I definitely focused on the Industrial Complex and Japan/China Sections in the rulebook.
My group is having a disagreement and discussion about is considered “Originally Controlled” Territories especially in regards to Japan. You can only build Industrial Complexes on originally own territories. Are those territories you start the game with or territories who markers is printed on the board for that country? I could not find this answer in the 2nd Edition rulebook or using the search feature (which appears to be screwed up anyone else getting pages to double up on each other when searching).
Thank you for your help.
Come on, man, it’s even on the front page of the forum at the moment:

Regardless, welcome!
Thank you for your assumptions and condescension, I am sure you are a treat to play with. I have read through that topic and it was not clearly stated. It was full of many rulebook quotes but no direct answers or explanations.
I am a bit uncertain about the rules governing Russia/Japan about Mongolia.
I understand what happens when each country breaks the rules but I am uncertain how the infantry in Mongolia are activated.
If Japan attacks Soviet territory bordering Mongolia, then the infantry become pro-Allies represented by Soviet pieces. This is were I am confused. Does the Soviet Union have to move in and claim those infantry like other neutral territories around the globe or can they start moving them immediately as if they were there all along?
Thanks in advance.
Our group has games that last too long and we were looking at ways to speed up play. Does anyone have good strategies to keep the game moving and turn time to a minimum?
We have talked about a time limit or even fines for too much time.
Thanks in advance
@CWO… When you say “made out of cardboard” is that a bad thing or a problem? Does it not work well?
Has anyone used/purchased this before? I am looking for reviews from people on this site for this product.

Does anyone have a good alternative dice tower?
I want a visual of the board at the beginning of the game so each player can start thinking possible strategy. I have the rulebook and set up cards that doesnt help unless you can mental envision the whole board set up.
I ask again, does anyone know where you can find a picture of the board set up? I have found the board with no pieces
I am getting ready to play a big game soon and we were all thinking strategy for each countries. We were looking for a picture that has the global 1940 2nd edition starting setup on it. Does anyone know where I can get a picture to share with my group that shows how each country starts.
So it is just a redesigned game/board that uses A&A pieces or is it a boxed game that you can buy?
Can someone is simple terms explain what HBG’s Global 1939 and HBG’s Global 1936/39/40 game is?
I tried finding info and not sure I did. Thanks
In the past before the second edition had come out people had made homemade IPC and NO’s charts.
Can someone show me where to find an updated chart for the new NO’s and IPC for Global 1940?
Thanks
My group and I have not played since Christmas and are planning on playing this weekend. Could someone please point me to the newest and most up to date rules and objectives.
Thanks for your help.
Is China in control of the lone fighter on their territories or does it belong to the US since it is represented by them?
Here is the scenerio U.S. want to invade German coastal territory A. The sea zone the U.S. is invading from is touching both territory A and territory B. Territory B has an airbase with fighters on it. Can Germany scramble fighters from territory B even though the attack is on territory A?
Does the attacker have to assign where everything is going before the defender decides to scramble? Meaning you better have enough protection at sea if you send everything inland for an invasion.
In the Alpha.+1 rules under the new scramble rules.
Can different countries all scramble together as along as there are no more then 3 fighters? So like a combination of two U.S and one U.K. fighters on a U.K. island or coastal territory
