Concerning Strategic Bombing and Total Victory conditions:

Important:
The Total Destruction Victory rule makes it possible for the attacker to conduct Strategic Bombing against any Industrial Complex – and damage this facility unlimited.

Example:
The Industrial Complex in Western Germany has 35 Damage Points.
The UK player conducts a Strategic Bombing raid against this Industrial Complex – and ads further 9 Damage Points to this facility.

The Tournament Rules have been updated.

We are now working on the setup and design of the rules.

@barnee

The Tank Destroyer unit can only target any of these enemy units:

• Any type of Tank unit including Panzer General units
• Mechanized Infantry unit
• Tank Destroyer unit
• Armoured Infantry and Panzergrenadier unit

Allied Tank Destroyer units can also fire at these German Waffen-SS units:

• Panzergrenadier
• Panzer including Waffen-SS Panzer General unit
• Tank Destroyer

The G40 POW & Foreign Legions Expansion are part of the Optional Rules.

The rules include those primary aspects:

• Defending units that are attacked by an overwhelming number of enemy units risk being captured (POW)
• Captured units (POW) can be transformed to Foreign Legion units when certain requirements are fulfilled

Play testing is expected to end in Late 2026.

@Trout
Those rules are not yet finally play tested.

You should focus on the rules that are used during Tournaments:

Wiking-Con Tournament Rules.

We have expanded this event to include an Unlimited Number of Players.

To participate all players must fulfill these requirements:

• At least 3 games of Global 1940 must be completed against at least 1 other player
• All players must study and be familiar with the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

This event has been updated 25th April 2026.

We advice players to consider an Emergency Soviet Strategic Plan that is able to counter a German attack against the Soviet Union in Early 1940 and/or Late 1940.

Such plan must include USSR-United Kingdom Lend-Lease from round 1 and/or 2 and 3.

We have experienced 3 games during this Axis & Allies Wiking-Con season where Germany attacked the Soviet Union in 1st and 2nd round.

The Global 1940, No. 21 Game Report has been updated.

Global 1940, No. 21 Game Report:

Players:
Axis: Dark Knight
Allies: The Captain

Early 1940 to Late 1942:
Germany:
Mass Production of U-Boat units to rule the Atlantic and the Med.
Gradually building up 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Waffen-SS Armies as well as 1st, 2nd and 3rd Panzer Armies - of which 75 % were fighting on the Eastern Front.

Luftwaffe was highly active & effective - but suffered heavy casualties - with no reinforcements to come.

Soviet Union:
The Soviet Strategic Plan included an offensive operation in Africa.
1st Soviet Army Corps captured Iraq in Late 1941 - and pushed on towards Italian controlled territories in Eastern & Northern Africa - with reinforcements coming in by Air Transport units.

Italy attacked the Soviet Union in Early 1941 - followed up by a massive German invasion in Late 1941.

Japan:
A successful and massive Japanese offensive captured all of China by Late 1941 - eliminating all Chinese resistance.

In Early 1942 & Late 1942 Japan successfuly reorganized the Army, Airforce and Navy - and prepared for an attack in both the Pacific and against India.

United States:
The US Strategic Plan was to gradually put an increasing pressure on the Axis Powers - in both the Pacific and European theatres.

By Late 1942, all original US territories and islands were under US control - and US troopes had landed in Northern Africa.

United Kingdom:
All moneys islands in the Pacific were under UK control - this was important due to the heavy IPC losses inflicted by German U-Boat convoy disruptions.

Early 1943 to Early 1944:
The economic situation was stabil for both the Axis and the Allies.

But the ecomy was gradually getting advantageous to the Allies, since the Soviets managed to halt the German invasion on the Eastern Front - and the Allies were able to defend the islands in the Pacific.

India was captures by Japan in Early 1944 - but the cost was enormous for Japan.

The Soviets launched a massive offensive on the Eastern Front - pushing back the Germans.
In Africa, the Soviets skillfully captures most Italian controlled territories - bring up the Soviet IPC level on a massive scale.

Tanks, Tanks and more Tanks were mass produced in Russia - and the Germans were forced to retreat all over the Eastern Front.

Late 1944:
Germany prepared a defensive line on the Eastern Front from Novgorod in the North to Bessarabia in the South.

The Soviets launched an offensive into Belarus and Archangel - with the purpose to encircle the German units in Novgorod and threaten the entire German front.
The backbone of the Soviet forces were the 1st Soviet Army Group - supported heavily by 18 independant Tank units.

Soviet Tank and Infantry units attacked deep into Chinese territories - forcing the Japanese units to drive North to counter the new threat.

Allied troops heavily outnumbered the Japanese in the Pacific - with more than 3 times the number of Infantry and Fighter units defending all Pacific islands.

US and UK troops continously landed in Western Europe - and the 1st US Tank Army pushed throug the Middle East towards India.

North Africa was dominated by Soviet, French, US, UK and ANZAC units.

An Axis defeat was inevitable - and the Axis surrendered in Late 1944.

Please refer to the IPC Tracking Chart attached below.
