G40 Heavy Industry Production

This rule is part of the Axis & Allies Global 1940 2E, House Rules Expansion.

During the early stages of the German Strategic Operation Barbarossa vast amounts of Red Army soldiers were captured or annihilated.

The Red Army Conscription rule reflects the seemingly inexhaustible pool of soldiers - that eventually halted the Germans on the doorstep to Moscow.

@the-captain said in Axis & Allies Global 1940 2nd. House Rules Expansion:

…Some players in our play groups have used online TripleA since september 2020.

We have created a House Rules Basic Expansion - and I believe these rules are implemented in TripleA online. …

Would you ask them to post the file ? I couldn’t find it on map DLs. I’m reading through everything again and while edit will be required for some of the rules, I think it can get close to 90-95%. Maybe 80% edit free.

At any rate, I’m gonna take a crack at it.

@gen-manstein yea i’d almost go at it the other way and make the CAs and fast BBs go 3. But that will create it’s own issues. Besides 19 knots is over 20 mph anyway

How many players do you have? 3,4,5,6?

-Each player chooses a color and takes those units, roundels and tray.

-Everyone then rolls a die to determine order of play with highest going first etc…

-The first player to act will place a roundel on any territory or sea zone knowing that the G40 starting units for that space will belong to his faction.

-A player may choose any territory or sea zone in their turn during this process, and this will continue until all territories and sea zones with a G40 starting unit are claimed.

-Once all are claimed, each player will setup the board according to the G40 starting setup for the territories and sea zones they control.

-During their collect income phase including starting income, players will receive 5 IPCs per territory they control, and 2 IPCs per sea zone in which they have at least 1 sea unit.

-During the place new units phase, every controlled territory will be considered as having 1 minor IC on it.

-Once all players have placed all their units on the board according to the G40 starting setup and the territories and sea zones each player controls, they must place 4 factories each on 4 different territories they control.

-These factories must be spaced 1 per map board, meaning 1 on any territory you control on each of the four boards dividing the map. If you have no territory on the last Pacific board for example, you may place your factory on any territory you control regardless of location.

-These factories act as flags, if you capture 1 flag from each of your opponents… you have won the game.

-All other aspects of A&A G40 combat and turn sequence still apply.

Looking to try something different at the FMGCON this year, any thoughts on this idea?

@Young:

Cruisers
receive 1@1 before each combat round begins to hit attacking and defending air units

Aircraft Carriers
receive 1@1 before each combat round begins to hit attacking and defending air units

Battleships
receive 2@1 before each combat round begins to hit attacking and defending air units

Do you realize that these warships are made better at destroying directly planes than planes themselves?

Sorry… I don’t understand your question.

According to usual casualty order, when planes will roll a hit in naval combat, the owner usually choose a Submarine or a Destroyer before 10 IPCs Fighters.
With your suggested rule, CA, CV and BB will take down aircrafts with more regularity than planes’ hit rolled.  To me it seem paradoxical.

@Young:

So the official military term used in WWII was “Supply Depot”?

I don’t know if it was official or not, but I’m pretty sure the term was used – and it certainly sounds clear and straightforward in its meaning.  Supply dump was another term that was used, but I think supply dump sounds a bit more improvised, whereas supply depot conveys (to my mind at least) the image of an organized and formal facility.
