  @imperious-leader Thanks for the feedback. I’ve noticed with HBG website though that after I’ve added the game to my cart, there does not appear to be any next step to actually pay them so they can send it to me. What gives? Am I missing some obvious next step?

  This is the release of the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

  Included are Full Color Markers to be used as combat units etc. in case you don’t have eligible playing pieces. These should be printed and cut out for use.

  Also included are the Army Boards & Markers used for displaying the various types of armies that you can create during the game.

  In other words: the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion includes everything you need in order to play your Axis & Allies game with these rules.

  I sincerely hope that the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion will bring inspiration - and tons of fun - to the Axis & Allies Community.

  I mean…do you really need bids? The game is pretty balanced in it of itself to what a playable nation lacks it makes up for in another aspect.

  The Global 1940 game is when you combine Europe 1940 with Pacific 1940.

  @pinch1

  Another thing to note is that you only need 3 sets of transports if you use the north Atlantic route. Its even more protected. Early landings can be effective with sets of 3 or even 2 transports but the American probably has 3. it doesn’t take much to transform the line so that you only need to cover a single portion of exposed transports with your navy. You go from Canada, to UK with a set, and half a set sits in the English channel. You have air cover from scramble too. If the German fleet is in the med without air support they can have it. You unload Gibralter to close off of the straight then switch targets north where the Germans have nothing to answer with.

  No, you need 4 dude. Look at the seazones and analyze. The reason you only need 3 when going to Southern France is that you can have your navy and 4 transports on Seazone 93, and constantly move units to 93, then back to 92 ready to take the next set of guys from Morocco. It takes up 2 of the transports movement.

  This is where you show some inexperience. I’ll walk you through it. You move your ground units into eastern Canada, and transports into SZ106, You move second set of transports to SZ 109. The third sits in SZ110 the English Channel.

  SZ 106 is safe for obvious reasons. SZ 109 has air cover form both England and Scotland, and SZ 110 has the bulk of the Yankee Navy under the umbrella of British aircover from England. 3 sets. Its cheaper and it’s safer, and you get units in the fight just as quickly.

  You can set it up just as fast by having enough transports and ground units ready at the bringing of turn 4 when you move the first set to Gibraltar to close the straight and claim Morocco. Meanwhile a second set simultaneously moves to SZ 106 and troops march up to Eastern Canada. Turn 5 you make beach-head in Europe with everything from Gibraltar while moving everything from Canada to England. The third set moves to Canada. Congratulations, you’ve just built a faster, cheaper land bridge, and can spend more monies on other stuff, like planes and bombers.

  If the German navy is locked in the Med and the Luftwaffe is in Eastern Europe, you don’t need to “finish” the floating bridge. You can build it over time. The reason you have to build it up so much as per GHG is because of the threat of the Luftwaffe.

  Missing this sort of detail a significant oversight and shows that there are some aspects of this game that escape your vision. It leads me to believe what your playtests are missing a key perspective and could be more thorough. I believe you severely underestimate the capability and flexibility the allies have in the Atlantic when Germany abandon’s post.

  If I recall GHG’s call to action was to have somebody beat his combination allied strategy. To my knowledge nobody has taken him up on it and proved it on the table. You can tout your theories all day long but they prove nothing. You’ll have to take it to the arena with GHG. until then I have to admit, Middle earth is the real deal and a tough cookie to crack. Is there an axis combination that can beat it more reliably? Sure, but the way you are addressing it here is not the solution. It’s not about taking on each strategy alone in a vacuum, its about hitting it all together. You can’t isolate each scenario, say how to beat it, and then put the puzzle back together expecting it works the same. There is a complex balance here.

  @fatoumas said in Eligible moves:

  @midnight_reaper yes. It helped me a lot. One clarification about my first query. The same applies if on that battle there wanst a destroyer? E.g. UK has the carrier and a fighter, while the Germany has a sub and a fighter. So Germany hits the carrier and the UK doesnt hit a unit on first round of battle. Germany decide to retreat. So subs can retreat by moving on next sea zone? I am asking because, now there is not a destroyer. And subs cant hit the plane, so maybe they cant retreat in another sea zone and only the fighter can move and land on another territory?

  When units retreat, either land units on land or naval units at sea, they must retreat to a territory where at least one of the land or naval units moved from during combat movement. (Land units doing an amphibious landing are not allowed to retreat, but that is outside the scope of this question.) In your case, you have 1 submarine and 1 fighter. To end this fight, you have 2 options: retreat or submerge submarine, then retreat.

  Retreat: You can retreat as I outlined in my last answer. If you choose to retreat, then you can only retreat to SZ 9 or SZ 15, depending on whether your submarine came from SZ 9 or SZ 15 to attack SZ 14. Your fighter would still hang around until non-combat movement, as discussed previously. What you can not do is retreat your submarine to any other sea zones. You must retreat from whence you came.

  Submerge Submarine: If you feel you must retain control of SZ 14, where the combat took place, and you feel like trying your luck against the defending fighter one more time, then you can submerge your submarine instead of retreating. When you submerge a submarine, it quits the fight but doesn’t leave the sea zone. Because you have to start another round of combat in order to submerge, your fighter would have to stay and fight 1 more round before calling off the fight. While this would give you the opportunity to finish off that British fighter, it would also give the British another chance to kill your fighter. See page 16 for submerging in combat and page 27 for submarine-specific rules.

  In your specific case, I would retreat instead of submerge if it was me. But now you know what I think your options are.

  My 2 IPCs,

  -Midnight_Reaper

  Everything is clear now. Thanks a lot for the detailed info

  @midnight_reaper said in Does anybody play with 3rd Edition rules?:

  Rule 6: Battleships must be hit twice to be destroyed. I think they repair right away, I’m not entirely certain on the repair part. But the need to hit them twice to kill them, I’m certain of that.

  You got pinged on this because I messed up the formatting at the top of the post. My comment was directed at Imperious Leader, not you. Your handle got tied to this post due to my error.

  Tall grasses on the Allied side of the bridge gave their company cover.

  That side was recently abandoned by the Germans in preparation for the explosive collapse of that bridge. The German defenders were shocked at the appearance of his uncle;s company charging the bridge.

  His uncle’s company arrived at a fortuitous time to take the lightly defended bridge before enemy engineers triggered the explosions. They may have been a scouting company for heavier units in the division. Not really geared for direct combat. However the slowdowns across various rivers after D-Day was understood by all. The Germans commonly destroyed bridges in their retreat to stall pursuit by Allied forces.

  @aardvarkpepper Now that you and Marc have talked through so many different aspects that I wasn’t even considering, I must admit, doing the tournament this way wasn’t necessary, and it’s far from being fool-proof. It’ll work, but as you guys pointed out, it doesn’t account for some variables or human choice.

  But, my motivation (aside from having fun with everybody that’ll play) is definitely to research how biased the game might be. I’m concerned that there might be significant advantages or disadvantages to certain colors, and if there are, I hope to spot them and make adjustments. I’m thinking that the setup is already pretty well balanced, but I want to put everything to the test, because we’re not sure yet.

  I really haven’t given much thought to any of the legal or marketing aspects of actually selling a game, so I’m glad you brought that up as well for me to seriously think about. And make no mistake, I appreciate every argument you’ve given. The mathematical relationships you discussed are part of what made solving this so easy. Your advice is always welcome and helpful.

  If I ever think about hosting another tournament or convincing someone to accept the wacky house rules and games we come up with, I’ll be sure to read this thread again. But right now it looks like I’m ready to organize a tournament! So until we meet again, take care gentleman.

  Hi, A&A fans!

  I released a new big update for my Tabletop Simulator version of Axis and Allies 1940.
  The last bit of manual labour is now scripted, the occupation of territories! You can right-click territories to change the occupier. The IPC strip is adjusted automatically. Also, you can right-click capital ships to damage them, convoy sea zones to mark an active convoy disruption and many more things from other updates since I last posted here! More scripting will follow, like the recognition of national objectives, income calculation and building cost tracking. Please check it out, if you like!
