it’s one of those things where you have “12 IPC’s left” and someone is wanting to build ships but dont just want 2 subs
Crazy idea for Axis And Allies 1940 second edition

How would the game proceed if France has the first turn? Germany goes after that, and Soviet Union after that, and so on. To balance this, Germany has “Tiger 1” units-the pieces are from the 1941 game (the pieces are out of stock on the Historical Board Gaming website, but the 1941 game isn’t too hard to find). They can be produced on Germany’s fifth turn.
Tiger 1 unit statistics:
Attack: 4
Defence: 4
Move: 1
Cost: 8 IPCs

@superbattleshipyamato123
you have to answer your own question by testing it. Lots of ideas out there, the ones that get tested have the most merit -
Thank you for responding!
I haven’t tested it, it’s just a crazy idea to mess up the game, with a way to hopefully balance it (but that is not really an important goal).
-
@superbattleshipyamato123 Wouldn’t think it would balance the game other than destroy some extra German units, anyway we’ve been playtesting China going first for over a year now on our YouTube War House rules game- it certainly slows the Japanese some, although China is still dwindled down to almost nothing but it’s been working for the Allies advantage on the Pacific side!!!

I have calculated that if France sends every available land unit against Northern Italy, Italy would usually lose-that’s quite impacting, because when the Axis lose Northern Italy, the Axis will be left with a Minor Industrial Complex there-the loss of Italy’s only strategic bomber is devastating as well.

right on. i remember @Black_Elk trying this a few years ago with OOB rules. It seemed that it had potential but didn’t catch on.
Good stuff ! Looking forward to your final setup !

Hi, sorry to disturb you. How hard do you think this will be to make this map available on TripleA? Thank you!

-
yea, but why? Is the idea to let France buy more units to make the German conquest more difficult?
-
Something like that. Also France can take Northern Italy if they pooled all their forces together, bleeding the enemy dearly.
