Update 8th February 2026: Total number of recorded Axis & Allies games in 2026 played by The Captain: 3

2026: Axis & Allies Global 1940:

• 0 Defeats (Allies)
• 0 Defeats (Axis)
• 2 Victories (Allies)
• 1 Victory (Axis)

We have attached some new pdf files to the first post at pg. 1.

These files are very useful during the entire game and should be represented at the sideline of the game board.

The newly attached files are:

• G40, Starting point & Advanced Production Capacity
• Timetable, Tournament
• Tournament Rules

One of our members has the game - I have seen it and shortly studied it.

It is very similar to Avalon Hills Third Reich which we played back in the 90’s.

We found inspiration from some of these rules and have adapted them into the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

6. Landing Strip Construction:
   During the Non-Combat Movement phase a Combat Engineer unit that did not yet move or perform any other task in this turn, can move into a newly captured territory – and construct a Landing Strip.

You cannot move by Strategic Rail Movement into (or through) a newly captured territory…

So the answer is: No…

@mkgionet

You could make it more manageable by doing the same as we do: see below.

I’ll also attach the pdf files later.

@crockett36

Ahh, I see…

In order to make this work, you should play test it.

I suggest that you create a Minor Rulebook that includes all your ideas - and I also suggest that you play test your suggestions.

Your play test results will prove if your ideas truly works… and if they need any adjustments.

This will also make it more manageable for any Renegade employee that might want to follow up on your ideas.

It would be awesome to see your ideas come to life at Renegade.

@crockett36

Hi crockett, concerning the attack in sz 96 and the Scotland Fighter unit - is this part of your advice to Renegade ?

@barnee

Seems like you answered your own question correctly :-)

Naval Mines operate with the same game mechanisms as Land Mines with a few exceptions.

@mkgionet

We appreciate that you play with Gentlemanly Warfare.

We support that that the Soviet player should be allowed to purchase RAC Infantry in Late 1942.

We suggest that the Soviet player should receive 10 IPC - and use or save them - before the German player starts in Late 1942.

Important:
From the beginning of the Soviet players turn in Late 1941, the USSR receives 1 Free Tank unit in each round. See more information at pg. 13 in the rulebook.

Remember:
The Timetable should be available at the game table. This is a big help for each player.
Refer to the Timetable each time you start planning your next turn.

@mkgionet

Great Game Report,

1. Are these pictures from Late 1942?
2. Are these pictures from the end of France’s turn, or…?
3. Did the Soviets produce Soviet Guards Infantry units in Late 1941 ?
4. Did the Soviets produce Red Army Conscription Infantry in Early 1942 - and if so - where are they on the game board…?
5. What did the Soviets purchase for the 10 IPC they received when Germany attacked in Early 1942 ?

It seems that Germany is under pressure… with the Allied landings in Western Europe - and the Soviets in Romania…

We really look forward to the next Game Report

Captain

We were considering to come by and say hello…

We just found out, that we can fly from Copenhagen to Manchester (2 hours) - but then it takes 4-6 hours to get from Manchester to Derbyshire…

Since the event is held only for one day - and a Sunday, it would not be possible for us to get there - and get back on the same day.

…unfortunately…

We wish you a great Tournament.

Captain

Play testing has ended. The rules are now available at the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion thread, pg. 1 (see Optional Rule No. 22).

The latest G40 Expansion units has been added at pg. 1 in this thread:

Self-propelled Anti Aircraft Artillery and Waffen-SS Self-propelled Anti Aircraft Artillery

These units are part of the G40 HRE Tournament Rules.

@mkgionet

The Tournament Rules are carefully selected from the entire G40 HRE. Since a Tournament put more stress on players - even though players still have Fun & Challenge - we needed to reduce the number of Expansion Rules to make each game more managable.

I trust that your game will be fun & challenging on a massive scale with all Optional Rules.

We truly look forward to your Game Report.

This is the release of the Tournament Rules that is used during all Wiking-Con events etc.

Players can also decide on their own if they want to use the Tournament Rules during any game at any time - on TripleA - or on the Game Board FTF.

Note 1:
When you play with the Tournament Rules, the scoring points are registered as mentioned below.

We have attached the revised Timetable for Tournament Units & Rules as well as the Tournament Rules.
1. Timetable, Tournament.pdf
2. Tournament rules.pdf

Important:

• Winning Conditions are described in the G40 HRE rulebook at pg. 11

Note 2:
Every game that is registered as a Tournament Game (meaning that the Tournament Rules are used) must have the scoring points registered like this:

• Winning player: 3 points
• Draw (a): 1 point to each player if both players have played same number of G40 HRE games (+/- 2 G40 HRE games)
• Draw (b): 1 point to the player with most played G40 HRE games - and 2 points to the player with less played G40 HRE games.

@mkgionet

Here below, we have attached the most recent Timetable which is the one that we use during Tournaments - like the Wiking-Con events etc.

So far, players must manually keep track of the extra Optional Rules that are not represented at the Timetable.

Note:
The Naval Commander rule is still not available, since play testing has not ended yet.

1. Timetable, Wiking-Con.pdf

@SGT-Pitbull

Our game experience shows that the Soviets can use the Air Fleet Commander with great success - especially when US and/or UK send their Lend-Lease Air Units to the Soviets.

Germany usually have at least 2 Luftflotte - operating on the Eastern Front and in the Western Europe sphere.

@SGT-Pitbull

We don’t have any plans to revise the Strategy Guide Global 1940, since a revision is a major effort.

Instead we have added some additional strategies to this thread - so players can read through this thread to get the big picture.

Thanks for your comment.

@barnee

Self-propelled Artillery can be upgraded to Waffen-SS Artillery in the same way as regular Artillery.

Note:
Waffen-SS Artillery can move 2 spaces. So it would be more economically sound for the German player to upgrade regular Artillery to Waffen-SS Artillery rather than upgrading Self-propelled Artillery.

This event has been updated.
