The majority of this content was inspired by Imperious Leaders Global 1939 setup. This edition is tailored to be utilized on the OOB Anniversary Edition Board. With several modifications, Great Britain is now 2 separate territories (Scotland and England) and Japan is now two separate territories (Hokkaido the northern Island and Greater Japan) also the sea zone of japan is split into two 62a and 62b these territories are nearly split naturally and don’t hinder the game performance. see Pictures below.
These rules employ all of the rules for AA50 including the optional rules. These new existing rules are added and supersede and replace out of the box AA50 rules where applicable.
Winning the Game
Victory Cities
On the map are 21 victory cities, all crucial to the war effort. The selection of the 21 victory cities was based on the historical importance of the city at the time. “Importance” could be measured in terms of strategic location, industrial base, resources, or other important strategic factors.
At the end of the United States player’s turn, check to see if either side has won the game based on the victory city condition you are playing to.
Default “Surrender with Honor” 17
Option 1 “Projection” 15
Option 2 “Total War” 21
If your side controls enough victory cities to achieve the preset victory condition, you all win the war. Otherwise, start a new turn and continue the conflict.
Order of Play: Starting Income
Wartime IPCs: are the Sum of all territory IPC values under that Nations Control
Germany: starts with 24 IPC gain income from Finland and Romania if not conquered each round
France: starts with 10 IPC
Soviet Union: collects 20 IPC at war with Finland. (neutral till turn 3) Wartime IPC at 28 + more depending on the outcome of Finnish war and other Neutral Conquest.
China: 0
Japan: starts with 17 IPC
United Kingdom: starts with 34 IPC
Italy: starts with 12 IPC
United States: collects 20 IPC (neutral till turn 4) Wartime IPCs begin at 37
General situation:
Germany:
Begins at war against Poland (limited to no ground forces on Franko/German border able to participate in attacks against Poland Turn 1), also at war with France and England.
Neutral with Russia until round 3.
Total War: The German war economy increases by 10 IPC starting on turn 4.
Italy:
Is neutral until they activate earlier (declare war), or when Paris Falls (defeat of France). Italy can attack neutrals and avoid a general war, but cannot enter or fly over British or French territories.
Japan:
Begins at war with China.
England and France declare war on Japan if they invade into any Neutral, English, or American territory (this includes passing through sea-zones).
May enter into an agreement to split the territories East Indies and Borneo with England if England agrees to close the Burma Road.
Enters at war with England if England activates a Pro-allies territory of East Indies or Borneo.
America will declare war on Japan if Japan enters into any US control territory or sea-zone.
France:
Begins at war with Germany.
When France falls (when Paris Falls), the territory of Algeria is turned into Vichy French and the territory belongs to the Germans and Germany is allowed to place 2 Infantry into Algeria the French forces there are removed from play if any. All remaining French forces that existed when Paris falls, are under British control except naval. These remaining French forces are considered Free French. All other territories that did belong to France are now totally under British control and Britain then collects the income for these territories.
French Naval disposition:
Procedure: Roll one d6 for each French ship:
1 = Scuttled by English
2= interned (remove from play)
3= interned (remove from play)
4= interned (remove from play)
5= German ship
6= German ship
England:
Begins at war with Germany.
British controlled units may not enter any French territories, except France proper while France remains unconquered.
Neutral with Japan unless Japan declares war or enters into any British Territory or Sea-zone. If Japan enters into a Neutral Pro-allied Territory then England and France declare war on Japan.
Enters at war with Japan if England activates a Pro-allies territory of East Indies or Borneo.
Russia:
Neutral until turn 3 with Germany and Italy.
May attack any neutral territory and pro-axis territory without entering into war with the axis.
Non aggression pact with Japan until turn 4.
China:
Begins at war with Japan.
May only move forces in and out of Chinese territories (Yunnan, Chinghai, Suiyuan, Ningxia, Hupeh, Fukien, Sikang, Kiangsu, and Manchuria) may also enter into the English territory of Kwangtung if taken by Japan.
Every two territories under Chinese control can build one infantry. If they count an odd number, the fraction allows China to produce a unit equal to 4 IPCs if Burma Road is open.
United States:
The United States remains neutral unless attacked until turn 4.
If any Axis player gets inside a sea zone adjacent to any US-controlled land territory or island, the US player will go to war with all Axis nations.
US national production starts at a total of 20 IPC. Each new turn once at war the income grows and they can Lend-Lease income to UK. Starting on turn 5, the Soviet Union can receive this aid (lent on turn 4, received on turn 5).
Once the United States enters the war on turn 4 or sooner, her income continues to grow each turn, until it reaches a total of 60 IPC. No matter what; the maximum amount of Lend-lease support is capped at 15 IPC to both UK and the Soviet Union during wartime.
During her neutrality, Original American pieces remain in setup and cannot be moved. Only newly built naval or air units can be moved and only to sea zones or territories adjacent or within her national tokens as printed on the map.
Summary of Income:
Turn 1: 20 and no Lend Lease
Turn 2: 20 and up to 5 Lend Lease
Turn 3: 20 and up to 10 Lend Lease
Turn 4: 37 and 10 Lend Lease
Turn 5: 37 + 5 and 10 Lend Lease
Turn 6: 37 + 10 and 15 Lend Lease
Turn 7+: 37 + 15 and 15 Lend Lease
Lend Lease:
American aid to UK and/or the Soviet Union must go to purchase non-infantry types of units. The money is allocated on the American turn and spent on the following UK or Soviet turn and placed in an off map box known as a lend lease mobilization box. All aid has a one-turn delay, so the Soviet Union won’t see any money until her 5th turn.
Losing your Capital:
When you lose your capital, you immediately lose IPC equal to the value of the territory from your previously collected income total. Other Cities and Factories within your territory are still able to produce units. If a nation is reduced to only their capital city and this is taken then all saved IPCs are handed over to the conqueror.
Scorched Earth:
Any territory under attack that contains a factory and is captured results in the destruction of this unit. The new controlling player may build a new factory however. Exception: Cities never lose factory capability
Production Capacity of Cities/Factories:
Victory Cities now have the ability to produce units up to a certain capacity equal to the territories IPC value this rule applies to the purchase and placement of new factories in a separate territory. For example, Egypt which now has the Victory City of Cairo has an IPC value of two so its production capacity is equal to that. Following the production capacity chart, Egypt can only produce units that reach that capacity limit. Example infantry have a capacity of one so Egypt can produce a max of two infantry or in the case of destroyers which have a capacity of two; Egypt would only be able to produce only one and then reach the maximum capacity.
Repairing ships also take up part in the total territory capacity.
All cities are considered to have ports and naval yards, but do not add to any additional movement points to units like Global Rules do.
New Victory Cities to add are Cape Town in South Africa, Cairo in Egypt, and Tobruk in Lybia.
Factories:
Factories are allowed to be built in territories with an IPC amount of 2 or greater. These follow the same production rules as Victory Cities.
Burma Road:
Consist of the territories of India, Burma and Yunnan. If all remain entirely out of Japanese control, the Chinese may purchase any type of unit for China (up to an IPC value of 4) if an odd number fraction occurs with total territory sum. This unit must be placed in Yunnan. Japan and Britain may enter into an agreement closing the Burma Road to China if they agree to no hostilities between UK and Japan. This then will allow Japan and UK to split the money Islands for the resources.
Fortifications:
Fixed Fortifications are placed on Four areas of the map French/German border on both sides, Gibraltar, and Finland/Karelia border on Finish side. These fortifications increase Infantry and Artillery Defense to 3 but only if attacked at these border areas. An attack into France from the sea will not qualify the use of the defense bonus. In the event of multiple attacks into a territory by land such as attacking Germany from both Northwestern Europe and France the defense bonus automatically is applied.
Repairing Units:
Battleships, Carriers, and Tanks now take two hits to destroy. Can house rule to OOB hit points and Cost if desired. Any damaged units must be returned to a City/Factory to be repaired at a specific cost. Units returned to a factory or sea-zone containing one and are designated to be repaired are not repaired until the next turn of play by the owning faction. if an enemy nation that attacks these areas while repairs are being made the owning unit is still considered damaged during combat.
Impassible Areas:
Afghanistan, Himalayas, and the Sahara Desert are off-limits to land units. Air units may pass over them only in NCM phase.
The Americans and British cannot enter the Baltic with airpower unless they control one side of the Danish straights.
Scandinavia:
Attacks against any part of Finland and Norway are only for one round of combat due to the rugged nature of the terrain/weather.
Interception, Escort, and Scramble:
Limited to only 1 Fighter or Tactical Bomber. Similar to the 1940 Global rules.
