Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion

@The-Captain

Hi Captain

If a Partisan is placed where there is a Minor Fctry, the Fctry can produce as normal and ignore the Partisans for there movement ? Even if a 2nd Partisan were to be placed there ?

Edit
Example
Soviets have 1 Partisan in E POL. G has a Undg Fctry. G can place there 3 units and ignore the Partisan next turn and move to kill something else ?

@The-Captain

Right on Thats what I thought. Just wanted to make sure :)

Today, it is 2 years ago since we released the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

and now it’s year 3 :)

I would play, but I just got into BBR (BloodBath Rules) Ruleset for G40. Pretty popular these days…with tournaments in 4 cities now. Probably the best version of the game I’ve seen yet…and I’m not one for house rules or variants either. You should check it out…You can search quick rule tutorials on Youtube.

@questioneer

yea sounds sweet. I’ve never dove into big but have heard of it.

I wouldn’t discount Expansion. A whole lot of options for players :)

@The-Captain Yes, interesting that these rules may become “official” at some point. Personally, I like BBR for its simplicity and not overly complex.

1. You can actually finish the game in one sitting.
2. Rules are minorly adjusted or tweaked to maximize dynamic play.
3. Tech and objectives are slightly adjusted to open the board for more strategy to a new level.
4. Play and action are so much faster and impactful in this version.
   In a nutshell, its just more fun!
   …and as they say…
   “Once you BBR…you never go back!”
   So true!

Salute. After almost 4 games of The Captains Expansion ruleset, I can say that this version is the most balanced, versatile, exciting and multi-layered I have played.
All 4 games so far have been different and it’s always been a long, even battle, with constant back and forth!

The game requires more planning both in operations and overall. The many new units (landing craft, paratroopers, elite, air transports etc.) offer almost countless tactical possibilities. And the “unlocking” of new game options (Total War, SS units, tank generals, additional units in the Pacific, etc.) or the formation of tank armies and entire army groups throughout the game takes the game to a whole new level.

I can warmly recommend this version and am happy to give it a test play ✌🏻

Hi @The-Captain

*Only Escort units can transport – and lay – Naval
Mines.
This manoeuvre can only occur during the NonCombat Movement phase. *

hmm the itallics isn’t working. well w/e

So can i move in NCM pick up mines and move and sew them same turn ?

Seems so but just want to make sure.

Example
I could move from 112 to 113, load up on mines and move back to 112 and lay them ?

Barnee, Panzerstahl-helm, and I are hosting a tournament of the G40 Expansion via TripleA :)

Well, everybody has their own personal preference of course. Anniversary Edition is one of my favorite games, just because it’s so simple. However, don’t be put away by the size and complexity of the House Rule Expansion that you might experience at first glance. I thought the same at first when I saw these rules for the first time - nah, this is way too complicated, I want something quick and easy! Until The Captain told me in a thread where I was complaining that the Eastern Front in G40 was a bit boring, that with their Expansion rules, the Eastern Front is one of the most interesting fronts.

After this, I was finally bold enough to give it a try, and oh boy - this game is one of the most fun Axis and Allies games ever! Of course, it takes some time to get used to the new rules. But after 2-3 games, the rules become much more natural to you, and complexity isn’t an issue at all.

1. Each game is different
2. There are a massive number of viable strategies possible for each nation
3. Play Balance is excellent
4. It has an awesome 1943 set-up that is super fun because of the same reasons above.

Thanks to all the new units and rules, all theaters of war are interesting - both on a tactical level as well as a strategic level. The Eastern Front is now one of the most intense battles ever. The War in the Pacific is exciting. Even the fight in the Atlantic is full of suspense. Only the best and most skillful commander will be able to claim victory - not the one that has the best dice rolls or that can bring the most stuff.

Once again, you can play whatever you like, but I wouldn’t stay away from the Expansion just because it looks overly complex. I can speak from experience that it’s not that bad, and the reward is immense.

I think I will never play OOB anymore, just because I can spend that time on a game that is 10 times as fun! :)
