@the-captain

Germany is doing great. 💪🏻

Also nice to see the flight standards on the German bombers in Greece.
Looks amazing.

Hi everyone,

Jan and I almost finished our warroom.
We would like to share some pictures with you.
The map on the table has the same size as the 1936 middle map.

The Map on the picture does also have the Captains ‘‘house rule expansion’’ in it. (addition to the game)
For every Axis and Allies lover, who would like to add some more variety of units and tactics.
It’s very easy to learn and to add, to your regular game, the 1940 global version.

Just take a quick look, and decide for yourself.

On the wall we have two dice towers, which can be taken off smoothly.
(I made those myself, they are very quiet and easy to use. I also sell them, if you are interested).
We also use a magnetic board on the wall to keep up during the game. (there is a poster in the making for the board with a large ipc tracker.)

Let me know what you think of our game board, and if something is missing just leave a reply in the comments.

Best regards,

Jan and Cornelis from the Netherlands.

@The-Captain

Game report from Holland,

Just played my second game with the global expansion house rules.
this brings the game absolutly to another level!

First off all i made a lot of markers, and painted all the special units with his own special color.

for example,

all waffen units with the color red.

all elite infantry with the color green.

Unfortunalty Germany lost his army by a mistake in Russia so the Allies won the game in round 12.

So next time Germany will gain a victory.
You can only learn from you’re mistakes;)

So to every Axis and Allies fan i say this,

If you are looking for a great and cheap way to improve you’re game massive.

Go for the Global House Rules collection!!!

@the-captain

Really great work Captain.
This is a big upgrade for the standard axis and allies g40 game.

I recommend everyone to try this version.

@the-captain
Nice, I see that you are gonna upgrade the tiger tank the next round to the E-100.
The big battle tank is ready to take some hits 💪🏻

Global 1940, No. 2 Game Report: Early 1945

This is the only post in the Global 1940 No. 2 Game Report.

Players:
Axis: Cornelis Post
Allies: Dark Knight

From Early 1940, Germany launched a Massive U-Boat Offensive in The Battle Of The Atlantic.
This offensive continued during the entire War, with a continued high U-Boat production.

The fighting on the Eastern Front was clearly marked by the massive German U-Boat production, since the reinforcements on the Eastern Front were scarce.

Nonetheless the German Army Group North & Army Group South were doing progress - slowly but surely - deeper into Soviet territory.

The Soviet Union defended their frontlines with 1st & 2nd Tank Armies, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Army Corps - and an almost unlimited amount of Red Army Conscription Infantry units - slowing down the German offensive.

Japan attacked early. In the beginning of round 3. They atackted the Philippines, Anzac and the English.

United States declared War on Japan, and they get access to the national guard. Which includes 6 infantry and 2 fighter planes for free. After the suddenly attack in the pacific. The US go for a new plan. They let the pacific behind and they are going all in. In the Atlantic against Germany.

United Kingdom was surrounded by German Wolf Packs, butt very soon the US eliminate this treat.
So they also launched an attack on Europe every round. With landing craft and paratroopers.

The British economy was falling apart because of the Japanese in the pacific. They also lost all navy in round 2 including all their air units in the europe theatre.

Also Italy took Egypt in round 4 and they attacked Afrika massively.

ANZAC fought bravely - but alone without support from either United States or United Kingdom.

The Allied Nations seemed to fall apart - with no chance of getting a foothold in the Pacific. In Europe, the Germans have a very touch time. Fighting against three major nations.

Because of the massive invasions of the US and the British in Europe. The Germans must retreat on the Eastern Front.

Italy was helping the Germans on a massive scale.
In the last 4-5 rounds the Italians get 45 ipc every round.

So the allies were going all in on Berlin.
So in early 1945 Russia attacked first Berlin. After that the Americans attacked Berlin with all their planes. And the last one who attacked Berlin in the same round was England.
Is was a massive brutal attack with all air units of the English and the Americans involved.

Butt the Germans survived these fiersome attacks. So after this last huge desperate attack. The Allies surrenderd. Because there was no chance of winning the game after this.!!

( the white paper shows the Russian attack on Berlin.)

@barnee

Oke maybe we could try to play a game

@axeloforange

Hi, ik speel axis and allies totaal met 3 personen.
We zijn nog op zoek naar meerdere spelers.
2-4 per jaar proberen we een spel te spelen.
Bij interesse stuur even een berichtje via de chat.
Gr

@barnee how do we get started

hi everyone,

so the game is ready to go ?
and some questions i need to ask:

In the game you can place you’re units before the attack starts, this needs to be done at the end of each round.
Only waffen units from germany and marines from america and the UK can be placed before the attack fase.

Also when i attack a seazone next to england, in you’re game i can pick if i would scramble with the UK.
Butt i am playing Germany.

So these are most inportant questions for me.

@barnee i will talk to victory first to make it work,
now it is getting late.
