    We mostly see the 1st US Desert Army and the 1st German Desert Army.

    UK most often have their Tank Army fighting in the Western Europe sphere - supported by a US Tank Army (after D-Day).

    We would not recommend an increase in Panzer General / Tank General units, since this could unbalance the game. We have already play tested this.

    It took us 3 years to find the right combination of Armies - with Play Balance, Game Enthusiasts and Historical Aspects in mind.

    The number of Panzer Armies & Tank Armies that are part of the game, challenges the players to prioritize their Armies - both as a Strategic Reserve and as Frontline Combat Formations.


  • @the-captain right on so basically you can have a Desert or Tank Army with UK but not both at the same time. I misunderstood that.

    Updated to triplea

    1. Desert Army

    Adds the Desert Army Unit. Once the Desert Army is Formed, you will need to edit the correct DesertGeneral. Use “DesertGeneral3” with Tank Units. “DesertGeneral2” with Artillery. Use “DesertGeneralA2D3” for Panzer Grenadier and Armoured Infantry Units. Use “DesertGeneralA1D3” for Combat Engineers. Use"DesertGeneral" for all other Units.

    Move Restrictions are Player Enforced. This may be fixed in the future.

    Yes, that’s correct.

    The United States mostly have their 1st Desert Army in North Africa - for as long as it is needed - then it is transformed into a Tank Army and shipped to Europe.

    The final play testing game with the Desert Army formation was completed today.

    Rules will be clarified and ready for use by the end of this week.


  • @the-captain

    I can’t wait! It would be interesting to make the German Desert Army more powerful because of Rommel. Maybe Germany can designate ground units or armies as controlled by Rommel, giving them an advantage.

    After the final play testing has succesfully ended, the Desert Army will be part of the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion under Optional Rules.

    The Desert Army is also eligible for use with Global 1943.
