Strict neutral naval base rental costs - 6 IPCs = repairs and increased movement for up to 3 ships
Pro neutral naval base rental costs - 3 IPCs = repairs and increased movement for up to 3 ships
Friendly naval base rental costs - 0 IPCs = repairs and increased movement for up to 3 ships
Nation owned naval base rental costs - 0 IPCs = repairs and increased movement for unlimited ships

If an Allied power attacks any strict neutral territory in South America, all remaining standing armies in South America (including pro-axis neutrals) and the territories they’re on, become German.

If an Axis power attacks any strict neutral territory in South America, all remaining standing armies in South America (including pro-allied neutrals) and the territories they’re on, become American.

BLOCK#2 - EUROPE, AFRICA, & THE MIDDLE EAST

If an Allied power attacks any strict neutral territory in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East, all remaining standing armies in Europe, Africa, or the Middle East (including pro-axis neutrals) and the territories they’re on, become German.

• Each Italian controlled territory is rolled for between the German player and the Allied player which now occupies Rome. If Germany rolls highest for a territory, the territory and any Italian units (including facilities) will immediately become German.

#2. VICHY FRANCE

• All Vichy rules become “in effect” immediately once an Axis power has captured Paris and has not attacked Southern France or French Indo-China. If Paris has not fallen or one of either Southern France or French Indo-China has been attacked before the first special missions phase at the end of turn 1, than all French territories and units become free French.
• Once Paris falls and becomes occupied by an Axis power, Southern France becomes Vichy, along with all other French units, territories and occupied sea zones on the board (except those units in A-18, London, Normandy, and French Equatorial Africa which remain “Free French”).
• During each Special Missions Phase, eligible nations will participate to “Resolve Vichy” by rolling a sequence of dice in the following turn order.

1. Japan
2. United Kingdom
3. Italy
4. Free French
5. Germany

1. JAPAN
Japan may choose to attempt a roll @3 and claim the French Indo-China Vichy infantry and territory.

2. UNITED KINGDOM
UK may attempt to destroy all Vichy sea units on the board by rolling 1 die @3 per sea zone in the following order… A-24, M-1, and 1-12. A successful roll for any sea zone will immediately destroy the Vichy ships there in.

3. ITALY
Italy may attempt to control certain Vichy units and territories by rolling 1 die @1 per territory in the following order… Corsica, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Syria.

4. FREE FRANCE
Free French may attempt to control Vichy units and territories by rolling 1 die @1 per territory and sea zone in the following order… A-24, M-1, & I-12, Corsica, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, FWA, FCA, Syria, Madagascar, FIC.

Germany may attempt to control Vichy units and territories by rolling 1 die @3 per territory and sea zone in the following order… A-24, M-1, & I-12, Corsica, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, FWA, FCA, Syria, Madagascar.

Resolving the fate of Vichy Southern France: During the 3rd Special Missions phase after the resolve Vichy rolls, the following formula will be used to determine Southern France’s fate.

Determine who had turned the most Vichy Territories to their side

-If the Axis turned the most Vichy Territories to their side, then all units within Southern France (except the minor factory and the naval base) come off the board leaving the territory empty.
-If Free French turned the most Vichy Territories to their side (including all Vichy territories not turned by the Axis at this point), then all units within Southern France become Free French

Attacking Vichy territories and/or units:

• If an Allied power attacks a Vichy territory before Southern France is resolved, than all remaining Vichy territories and units become German (except FIC which will become Japanese)
• If an Axis power attacks a Vichy territory before Southern France is resolved, than all remaining Vichy territories and units become free French

#3. CONVOY RAIDS
Look for any single warship in any Convoy zone, if there is an adjacent territory controlled by a nation at war with that warship, the nation controlling the territory must surrender 3 IPC’s to the bank. Multiple warships in any given convoy zone does not increase this 3 IPC limit, however, If multiple enemy nations own territories adjacent to one convoy zone being raided, they must all surrender 3 IPCs to the bank. Also, If Nova Scotia and London are Allied controlled, Axis warship occupation of an “open sea” Atlantic convoy zone will raid UK Europe for 6 IPCs each.

#4. COASTAL DEFENSES
Look for large naval fleets with 3 or more sea units (not including transports) in sea zones adjacent to operational enemy bunkers. Resolve coastal defense systems targeting those fleets by rolling 3@1 for a minor bunker, and 6 @1 for a major bunker. Each one rolled immediately destroys or damages that many ships. A bunker on a territory adjacent to multiple sea zones may only target 1 fleet per missions phase (the nation controlling the bunker chooses the fleet they wish to target). Also, only nations at war may resolve coastal defenses (Russia must be at war with a European Axis power)

#5. BOMBING RAIDS

Determine Initiative: A player from each side must roll an 8 sided dice, the side with the highest result chooses which side will conduct all their bombing raids first. Once completed… the remaining side will then conduct all their bombing raids.

Super Fortress Bombers, Strategic Bombers and Tactical Bombers may be used to conduct strategic bombing campaigns to damage enemy facilities of their choice by deploying designated aircraft to enemy territories with eligible facilities. Any aircraft that were designated for future missions and have remained designated leading into the strategic missions phase may participate in bombing raids. Also, fighters that are grounded on territories being bombed do not need to be designated in order to intercept. However, just because air units were designated to perform raids does not mean they must do so… a nation may pass and stand down from any mission assignment.

Designated fighters may be used only once during a strategic missions phase as either an interceptor or an escort by using dog fight values for 1 combat round. Escort fighters must be assigned to bombing air formations before interceptors are deployed. Any strategic bomber, or tactical bomber that survives both the dog fight round, and the built in AA Gun barrage will apply damage to eligible facilities of their choice using the following chart.

Super Fortress Bombers: May bomb any facility to apply an automatic 6 points of damage
Strategic Bombers: May bomb any facility to apply an automatic 4 points of damage
Tactical Bombers: May bomb any tactical facility or minor factory to apply an automatic 2 points of damage

#6. SHORE BOMBARDMENTS

Determine Initiative: A player from each side must roll an 8 sided dice, the side with the highest result chooses which side will conduct all their shore bombardments first. Once completed… the remaining side will then conduct all their shore bombardments last.

Super Battleships, Battleships, and/or Cruisers that are adjacent to enemy territories may be used to conduct shore bombardment campaigns to damage enemy facilities of their choice. Any designated naval fleet containing the fore mentioned ships and within an eligible sea zone, may participate in shore bombardments. Also, fighters that are stationed on aircraft carriers within the fleet conducting the bombardments do not need to be designated in order to escort the fleet. However, just because a naval fleets are designated to perform bombardments does not mean they must do so… a nation may pass and stand down from any mission assignment.

Designated fighters may be used only once during a strategic missions phase as either an interceptor or an escort by using dog fight values for 1 combat round. Escort fighters must be assigned to bombarding naval fleets before interceptors are deployed. Any bombarding cruiser or battleship may use their air cover values during 1 combat round of dog fighting if engaged by enemy interceptors. Any ships that survive the dog fight round will apply damage to eligible facilities of their choice using the following chart.

Super Battleships: May bombard any adjacent facility to apply an automatic 5 points of damage
Battleships: May bombard any adjacent facility to apply an automatic 4 points of damage
Cruisers: May bombard any adjacent tactical facility to apply an automatic 2 points of damage

#7. KAMIKAZE RAIDS
Look for all kamikaze sea zones occupied by Allied surface warships (must be at war with Japan). Japan may use their kamikaze tokens (up to 3 per kamikaze zone) to damage or destroy surface warships of their choice. Each assigned token will roll @3 or less dealing a hit to ships being raided. However, carrier based aircraft or air units eligible to scramble may attempt to block the raid. During this 1 round air battle in which Allied planes intercept kamikaze pilots, Tactical Bombers hit 1@1, and Fighters hit 1@2 (WW1 planes may not intercept). The Japanese begin the game with 15 kamikaze tokens total, casualties from enemy aircraft are removed by Japan, and kamikaze tokens get zero defense during the 1 round air battle.

#8. PARTISAN RAIDS
Look for all originally controlled Allied territories now occupied by the Axis with at least one facility on it (not including Islands). The Allies may use their partisan tokens (up to 3 per occupied territory) to damage one or more facilities of their choice. Each assigned token will roll @3 or less dealing 3 points of damage for each successful token on their targeted facility. However, facilities under attack may use their built in security to roll 1@1 in order to block the raid, and elite infantry stationed within the territory will each receive a 1@2 to avoid sabotage. The Allies begin the game with 15 partisan tokens total, casualties from elite infantry are removed by the Allies, and partisan tokens get zero defense during all block attempts. Also, only nations at war may use partisan tokens (Russia must be at war with a European Axis power)

#9. TRANSPORT RE-ASSIGNMENT
Any number of air or sea transport units (including none), may be reassigned to a friendly nation during any special missions turn. Upon approval from the nation that currently controls them, transport units may be swapped out and controlled by the friendly nation of their choice. However, only sea transports adjacent to a friendly naval base, and air transports landed on a friendly air base may be reassigned during the special missions phase. Also, only nations at war may participate in reassigning sea transports (Russia must be at war with a European Axis power)

MAP RULES & CLARIFICATIONS

THE GIBRALTAR PENINSULA:

• Gibraltar is divided into two sides, the Western Peninsula, and the Eastern Peninsula. A single nation, or two friendly nations must control both sides in order to operate the tactical facilities, to repair damage on those facilities, to move through the strait, and to collect for the territorial income value.

• If the same nation controls both Peninsulas at the same time, then that nation controls both tactical facilities, they may repair damage on either facility, and they will claim all of Gibraltar’s territorial income value.

• If two friendly nations control one Peninsula each at the same time, then the tactical facilities are operational, either nation may repair damage on either facility, and the territorial income value is divided between them 1 IPC each.

• If two hostile nations control one Peninsula each at the same time, then the tactical facilities become inoperable, neither nation may repair damage on either facility, movement through the strait is forbidden, and the territorial income value is in limbo.

• Any nation may bomb any facility on Gibraltar if at least one Peninsula is controlled by an enemy nation

• Submarines are the only unit that may pass through the strait regardless of who controls the Peninsulas.

Ground Combat Sequence:

Tactical Missions Phase:

1. In Bound Aircraft:

• The defender may choose to deploy any “in bound” units including scramble and/or designated aircraft

2. Dog Fight Phase:

• A dog fight is triggered when enemy aircraft from both sides are present in battle
• A dog fight lasts only one round, and that round always happens before the first general combat phase
• Use all dog fight values for each aircraft detailed under their unit profiles

3. Antiaircraft Barrage:

• AA Artillery units make their rolls against all enemy aircraft that survived the dog fight round
• All attacking and defending AA Artillery perform the same way including support bonuses
• Any territory with a radar tower will receive a +1 bonus to AA Artillery fire as well as built in AA Guns
• Defending bunker fires at attacking land units, and casualties (attackers choice) are immediately removed

4. First Strike Phase:

• All attacking and defending tactical bombers may conduct a first strike if no dog fight occurred
• All attacking and defending heavy artillery may conduct a first strike if a dog fight did occur
• The first strike phase is a separate phase from the general combat phase, therefore, tactical bombers and heavy artillery will still recieve their initial attack or defense rolls during the first combat round of the general combat phase

5. Carpet Bombing:

• All attacking strategic bombers roll 3 dice @4 each to carpet bomb land units, casualties from this attack will fire back in the general combat phase.

General Combat Phase:

1. Attacker Fires:

• All eligible attacking units (including first strike units) roll dice and determine the amount of casualties if any

2. Casualties Declared:

• Defender assigns hits to their defending units, casualties declared may still fire back if eligible

3. Defender Fires:

• All eligible defending units (including first strike units) roll dice and determine the amount of casualties if any

4. Casualties Removed:

• Defender and Attacker each remove their casualties from the board
• Attacking strategic bombers that are defenseless after carpet bombing may be used as casualties

Clarifications & Explanations:

• Defenders must declare their casualties immediately after attack rolls and before defence rolls each combat round

• AA Artillery provide support to defending aircraft even if there are no attacking enemy air units present

• Defending air transports may be used as casualties to absorb enemy hits at a rate of 1:3

[Young Grasshopper]

Naval Combat Sequence:

Tactical Missions Phase:

All rules involving Submarines, Destroyers, and Aircraft are the same as 1940 Global with the following exceptions:

1. In Bound Aircraft:

• The defender may choose to deploy any “in bound” units including scramble and/or designated airc

2. Dog Fight:

• A dog fight is triggered when enemy aircraft from both sides are present in battle
• A dog fight lasts only one round, and that round always happens before the first general combat phase
• Use all dog fight values for each aircraft detailed under their unit profiles

3. First Strike:

• Tactical bombers may conduct a first strike if no dog fight occurred (may hit subs without destroyer present)
• Submarines may conduct a first strike if enemy destroyers are not present (subs may not hit subs during the first strike phase)
• The first strike phase is different and separate from the general combat phase, therefore, tactical bombers and submarines still recieve their general attack roll immediately after their first strike roll, which essentially allows them to roll twice before the defender’s general combat roll

4. Subs Submerge:

• Submerging is a special one time action for submarines that wish to avoid combat and escape
• The presence of enemy destroyers does not prevent submarines from submerging during this phase
• This submerge phase is the only opportunity in which submarines may submerge throughout a battle
• Any submarines choosing to submerge must be flipped and turned on their side

5. Depth Charge Attack:

• DCA is a special one time action for destroyers which is triggered by enemy submarines submerging
• Each destroyer will get up to 3 dice @2 depending on number of submarines that have submerged (similar to the AA Artillery rule when determining the amount of dice to roll when firing against aircraft)
• Submerged subs can not defend during this phase, and are immediately removed from the board once hit

6. Carpet Bombing:

• All attacking strategic bombers roll 3 dice @2 each to carpet bomb sea units, casualties from this attack will fire back in the general combat phase

General Combat Phase:

1. Attacker Fires:

• All eligible attacking units (including first strike units) roll dice to determine the amount of casualties if any (submarines are rolled separately from all other attacking units)

2. Casualties Declared:

• Defender assigns hits to their defending units, casualties declared may still fire back if eligible
• Surfaced submarines, and sea transports may be used as casualties

3. Defender Fires:

• All eligible defending units roll dice (submarines are rolled separately from all other defending units)
• Defending surfaced submarines may make a defence roll as well as an escape attempt later in the sequence

4. Casualties Removed:

• Defender and Attacker each remove their casualties from the board
• Attacking strategic bombers that are defenseless after carpet bombing may be used as casualties

Clarifications & Explanations:
_- Defenders must declare their casualties immediately after attack rolls and before defence rolls each combat round

• Destroyers may attack and defend during general combat even if they were involved in the DCA phase
• All submarines that did not submerge during the submerge phase must now participate in general combat
• Submarines that didn’t submerge during the tactical missions phase may not submerge during the general combat phase unless there are no eligible targets (only aircraft and submarines remaining)
• Submerged submarines that survived a Depth Charge Attack may not resurface to fight during general combat, they must remain within the same sea zone on their side and resurface once combat has ended
• Submarines may not first strike submarines, nor are they allowed to hit each other during general combat.
  -Aircraft may not scramble into an adjacent sea zone that is being attacked by enemy submarines only.
• Unlike OOB G40, aircraft do not require a present destroyer to hit subs
• Defending sea transports may be used as casualties to absorb enemy hits at a rate of 1:3
• Depth Carge Attacks from destroyers are conducted the same way AA Guns defend against aircraft. Therefore, each destroyer receives as many rolls @2 as there are submerged submarines up to 3, but multiple destroyers may not make multiple attack rolls on just one submerged submarine._

DESIGNATING AIRCRAFT:
When can I designate my air units?

• During step #3 of your turn sequence, you may choose to designate as many eligible air units for future missions as you wish (including none), eligible air units include Tactical Bombers, Fighters, and Strategic Bombers, (but not War Planes, or Air Transports). Designating an air unit by placing an assignment marker under it, freezes them for the entire turn. This means they must be designated before the combat movement phase, and they must remain there no matter what happens during your turn.

What can my designated air units do?

• During phase #4 of an enemy’s turn sequence, your designated air units can be deployed to help defend a friendly territory or sea zone that you or an ally controls. Simply remove the designation markers and use the unit’s movement range to defend and then legally land.

• A designated air unit may also play a role during the special missions phase whether bombing, escorting, and/or intercepting. You could decide to use your designated fighters as either escorts or interceptors depending on the situation and the initiative roll. You could also use your designated Tactical and/or strategic bombers to damage enemy facilities.

What are “in bound” aircraft?

• A designated air unit moving from one territory into a different territory to help defend is an “in bound” aircraft, but a designated air unit within the territory that is being attacked is not an “in bound” aircraft. Therefore, not all in bound aircraft are designated, but not all designated aircraft are in bound.

When are designated aircraft not considered in bound?

• A designated air unit that is stationed within a territory being attacked is not considered in bound, and they will not lose their designated status if they survive the attack. Also, designated fighters intercepting a bombing raid targeting facilities within the territory they are stationed are not considered in bound, and will not lose their designated status if they survive the dog fight.

When can a non-designated air unit be used in future missions?

• Up to 3 eligible air units may scramble from an operational air base into an adjacent sea zone to help defend during an attack, these air units are considered in bound but they are not required to be designated.

• Up to 3 eligible air units may scramble from an operational air base into an adjacent sea zone to help defend against a shore bombardment during the strategic missions phase, these air units are considered in bound but they are not required to be designated.

• As many fighters as you wish (including none) may intercept a bombing raid bombing facilities within the territory they were stationed during the strategic missions phase. These fighters are not considered in bound, and they are not required to be designated.

When are air units required to be designated?

• Eligible in bound air units defending a sea zone or territory (not scrambling from an operational air base into an adjacent sea zone) must be designated.

• Eligible In bound bombers conducting bombing raids on enemy facilities during the strategic missions phase must be designated.

• In bound fighters providing escort cover for bombers on bombing raids or for ships that are bombarding during the strategic missions phase, must be designated.

• In bound fighters intercepting enemy bombing raids or shore bombardments during the strategic missions phase, must be designated.

When can I remove the assignment markers from my designated air units?

• Designated air units must remain designated until they have been used during a future mission that required them to be designated, or during stage #3 of a turn sequence when they must be removed.

• Designated air units used during future missions which did not require them to be designated, are not required to remove their assignment marker.

How many in bound and/or designated air units can I use?

• You may defend a sea zone and/or territory with up to (but no more than) 3 in bound air units.

• There is no limit to the amount of designated bombers that can conduct bombing raids into a territory, however, that territory must contain at least one facility.

• There is no limit to the amount of designated escort fighters that can protect bombing raids or shore bombarments.

• There is no limit to the amount of designated fighters that can intercept bombing raids, or shore bombardments.

• There is no limit to the amount of intercepting fighters stationed within a territory getting bombed, which can intercept a bombing raid without being designated.
