Yeah, I’ve read that and I believe it. I think until 1943 or 1944 the Americans had more ground units in the Pacific?
Yeah, the US built a ton of ships. For some reason the US never gets to seemingly similar numbers in the game.

Dr Buzzman says high
He see’s that you and your fellow buzzheads play OOB G 40 and recommends a House rule mod https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36945/axis-allies-global-1940-house-rules-expansion
You can also play it online with triplea https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/17147/gargantua-s-k-i-s-s-triplea-instructions/30
Have fun gaming
Thanks! I’m not much interested in house rules or online play. But I’ve been getting lots of A&A in! We have finished six games this year and are on number seven.
You can use TripleA also to play on a PC as like oldschool multiplayer.
If it takes multiple days but you cannot keep the board setup that long this is an option.With oldschool multiplayer i mean both sitting behind the PC/TV in the livingroom and do your turns there. So still your group is in the same room you only replaced the board and dice with something on the TV/PC.

@shadowhawk I tried TripleA years ago. I didn’t like not being able to see the whole board at once. I preferred PBEM games where I kept an actual board set up.
Currently my friend has the extra large mat permanently set up in his basement! When we finish a game, we set it back up.
We’ve been playing a full day every second weekend this year, so I’m not really looking to ramp that up.I appreciate the tip though!

@The-Captain we never use modified rules. But a G40 game takes us at least 20 hours minimum. Therefore, our group has been hard to schedule lately so a faster version would be great. I haven’t been on the forums for a while and came looking for a tourney ruleset to speed up the game when I found your question posted.

@cmmiles I think the faster version is called 1942 second edition… 😉

Hi @cmmiles,
Thanks for your comment.
We have concluded that most Axis & Allies players use some kind of modification to the OOB G40 version.
Either to balance the game and/or speed up the game.
The fastest and most profoundly balanced and In-Depth calculated modification that we know of is the popular Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion - also known as the G40 HRE.
This version is used by more than a hundred Axis & Allies players that we know of.
We suggest that you and your play group study and try the G40 HRE - play a few games with these rules - and we guarantee that you will be entertained and challenged on a massive scale - for at least the next decade.
We are always available on a daily basis on this forum for questions & comments concerning the G40 HRE.
Once again - thanks for your time and comment.
Captain

Tournament ruleset is a minor change to the game so you dont need to learn a lot of new things. But it really speeds up the game and streamlines it a lot better.
Takes about 8 hours to complete the game with that, mostly because of the play order difference making it so you can play 2 countries at the same time.
And it fixes some balancing issues because of the turn order. -
@shadowhawk which tournament rules do you use? Have a link?
