@OlivieroRuggieri

If you’re trying to understand how balanced the game is and potential strategies, I reccommend you use the hard AI on TripleA. It’s not actually that challenging (I don’t consider myself a great player and even I find defeating it pretty easy after a few games) and will actually make logical decisions. Easy AI almost seems to only make the most irrational decisions, so it isn’t a good guide for strategy (as you found out yourself).

I’ll say that a lot of Global 1940’s strategies are very applicable toward Europe. The European and Pacific fronts generally don’t directly affect each other very much, especially at the beginning of the game, and most strategies people list mainly apply to specific theaters (Eastern Front, Mediterrean, etc.), rather than the whole world, and thus still work.

Because of this, I reccommend you looking through the Soviet-Germany-Italy-France-US Europe-UK Europe sections of this collection of Global 1940 strategy essays:

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/40354/allied-playbook-g40-collection-of-essays-compiled-by-jacobgeo24-nov-18-19-2023?page=1

And most of the following article aren’t strategies, but rather principles that apply well to any of the 1940 games (and half of it applies to any main Axis and Allies game):

@Panther

I don’t want you to mislead players, so I want to add that there is a way to turn off National Objectives on TripleA for Europe and Global 1940 for house rule purposes.

You’ll have to go into the folder “downloadedMaps”, then into the folders for, say, Europe 1940, then the folder “map”, within that the folder “games”, and click on the xml file. Inside you should see the following line of code:

<property name=“National Objectives” value=“true” editable=“false”>

Simply change it to “editable=“true””, then you can activate or deactivate National Objectives for a given game when you want to.

That being said, National Objectives in the 1940 games aren’t optional.

@gamerman01 I definitely agree with the point about lack of insensitivity to an bid. The absolute bids are too low for it to be sensitive in the first place IMO.

But, (and no offense) the recent post mortem on the OOB playoffs in which it was declared the game was over after G1 would never happen in PTV outside of absolutely insane dice. The board is bigger, the strategies are more diverse, and there are far more opportunities to recover from bad dice.
