Turkey at War Expansion for Axis & Allies 1940

Okay folks, a bit of good news Global War 1936v4 maps start shipping next week. There’s also a link for a list of suggested parts/pieces that you can download here - https://www.historicalboardgaming.com/assets/images/HBG Games/Global Games/1936v4/Global War 36 v 4 Recommended Parts List (2).pdf

If you read the top of page 11 you will see there is a new rule for V3 where you cannot combat move through a canal as you proposed. The example they give is exactly what you were talking about. You can still choose to do it the old way but either way that is one of the things you should have all of the players to agree to before the game begins. We always play it the new way.

This is all on the NRS. The only condition that is not USSR dependent is that Germany or Japan has surrendered.

There is no single CCP action that can trigger an allied declaration of War.

Turkey when active in this expansion is a player nation into itself and thus only surrenders if it’s capital is conquered and Turkey can’t liberate it on their turn.

@linkler No, the influence is based on what nation holds whatever requirements it needs. You roll as a single nation even though the influence matters as an alliance.

@sjelso Yes

This is a definate yes. According the German NRS :

« Once per game, and prior to January 1941, all German land and air units may make an additional sequence of combat moves, combat (including blitz) and non-combat movement. The second round of attacks takes place immediately after the end of the first non-combat movement. Units with blitz may use this ability both rounds if possible. »

There is no suggestion that this special ability is restricted to one territory. You can use it in multiple territories and on all available fronts.

You can also wait to decide after the first sequence if and where you will make a second round of combat moves, depending on how things go in the first round.

A strong argument for the German player to be ready to go to war before January 1941.

Ahhh thanks for this GHG. I’d always thought the rule meant that the Spanish Civil War kept playing out once the Germans and USSR were at war, but that once the war ended, the winning side would be automatically aligned.

Interesting, that definitely changes things in my thinking of the game! It probably behooves the Axis to keep the war going for as long as possible to have them automatically join later. Though the flip side is no victory points for winning the SCW.

Thanks for clarifying there!
