Nice find! Thanks for letting me know about this game.

@jim010

Really nice! How similar are the rules to any Axis and Allies game (so not just the vanilla ones, but is it similar to the theater ones like D-Day or Bulge)? Thank you!

I think your hypothesis is broadly correct.

But I think on a technical and logistical level (not sure about political), it seems to me that it was perfectly possible for the French to mobilize and brings the guns to the front much earlier, before September. This would’ve allowed them to begin attacking almost immediately and shatter the German lines. In retrospect, the French should be at fault for not mobilizing (and preventing the Poles from doing so).

The vast majority of Army Group C divisions were undersized (or even just command headquarters), while only about half of the French ones were deficient in some way (Nafziger’s book also lists the condition of French divisions in September-October 193o).

I got the book online here:

@simon-tressel is up as Germany, minus Mexico City and a Pacific fleet.
Congratulations to Entek and the Yanquis.

@Imperious-Leader

In Global 1940 it’s used to fly 4-space aircraft directly from Persia to Moscow. So unlike other games (like 1914 where it, ironically does get a number), it’s actually serves an important purpose in Global 1940.

@Witt You’re up as Commies. Vlad is costing Russia a bundle to defend. And Turks aren’t satisfied with holding in Armenia.
