Why is the Eastern Front in G40 so boring?

I don see how G40 is boring on the Eastern Front unless you make it so. Yes, there are going to be stacks but that is the nature of the game.

If you want a “global” AA50 experience, then play the G42 setup. Russia goes first and smashes into the German lines, placing them on the defensive early. Its the version used at Gencon for their tournaments.

@taamvan Thanks! I will try if it will work out. Where did you get this by the way?

If russia being too weak and the axis having too much money is the problem why let the players put the bid somewhere else?

It’s not boring.

It’s tense, hanging on the edge of a knife. Germany pouring as many resources as possible into the destruction of Russia, and Russia and the Allies trying desperately to avoid mistakes and stave off defeat.

Definitely NOT boring. Just not action-packed!

@marshmallowofwar I agree. One of my favorite parts of the game when playing Germany or Russia is looking at the stacks and trying to calculate odds and what moves are best in the turns leading up to the (usually) inevitable battle for Moscow. Really engages the brain!

With the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion the Eastern Front becomes one of the most interesting Theatres of War.

With the Global 1943 House Rules Expansion - it becomes the most interesting:+1:

@the-captain Is there a version of triplea that implements those house rules?

yea 1943 setup you’ll need to edit for now and make a saved game. It’s under Experimental “Global 40 Expansion”

Hi surfer,

As barnee and the General correctly said - barnee is working on it:+1:

You’ll find both RULEBOOK threads under Customizations - House Rules section - as well as the Strategy Guide and Rules Clarification.
