@The-Captain Got it. Makes sense. The Super Heavy Bombers, Carriers, and Battleships are some of the most powerful units in the HRE.

Sorry - true - just found it.
They are not on the Timetable - maybe they should be.
We don’t use them much, simply because other units are more needed for combat.
-
@the-captain right on it just looked like German Bmbr in Early 44. Wasn’t 100% sure what it was. Just a guess. Anyway I made everything from the rulebook so we should be ok, except for my f ups lol
-
@The-Captain I know I’ve asked before but i will again anyways : ) I have a Panzer Army in Berlin. During purchase and place, I buy and Oberst and create a Waffen Army.
Now, I can’t form an Army Group because the Waffen Army wasn’t already intact at the beginning of my turn, correct ?
An Army Group consists of at least two Armies
and at least 10 other land based combat units
(not including AAA, mines or landing crafts) – all
units must be present in the same territory from
the start of the players turn. -
Can paratroopers attack with Waffen paratroopers and still attack at 3 in the first round of combat?
-
Yes:+1:
-
That is correct.
An Army Group must already be formed at the start of the players turn in order to be active.
In other words - it must be organized on a previous turn.
Another example:
During Non-Combat Movement on the Eastern Front, 1st Panzer Army moves into German controlled Rostov and links up with 3rd Waffen-SS Army. 10 other land combat units are already in Rostov.The German player announces that all these are now part of an Army Group.
This Army Group is ready for combat if USSR attacks in this round (or any other Allied units attack).
-
@the-captain ahh ok form at the end of the turn ready for offensive operations start of next turn if still intact.
Armies and Corps can be formed at any time they meet the requirements. That would be the difference then.
Cool i think i got it
-
Great:relaxed:
-
Two Questions,
-
Can you create a Soviet Army Corps in the Mobilize New Units phase?
-
Can you damage two Aircraft Carriers consecutively or does a Battleship need to be damaged in between?
Example: 1 damaged Battleship and 2 damaged Carriers are attacked. The attacker rolls and gets two hits. Can the Defender now select the two Aircraft Carriers or does it need to be an Aircraft Carrier and then a Battleship? -
Also, in a battle, does the Capital ship hit scheme goes like this AC-BA-AC-BA?
-

@victoryfirst said in Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion:
Can you create a Soviet Army Corps in the Mobilize New Units phase?
yea from the Captain
You can form a Waffen-SS Army during the Non-Combat Movement phase as well as during Place New Units phase.
-
:+1: barnee answered your first question correctly. Thanks, barnee:relaxed: :right-facing_fist:
You can take damage hit on as many Aircraft Carriers as you want - before (if) any of your Battleships gets damaged.
Normally you would choose to take hits on your Battleships (and Heavy Battleships) before having more Aircraft Carriers damaged - simply because you want your Fighters to land on your Aircraft Carriers, since this would give you the strongest defense.
Naturally, if you have “empty” Aircraft Carriers - and no reserve Fighters to bring forward to meet up with your Aircraft Carriers, you might want to take hits on those empty Aircraft Carriers:+1:
-
@the-captain Ah ok, that clarifies a lot. I messed up that rule in all my games. I found the wording ‘each carrier is damaged before each battleship’ hard to understand, and in the example the hit scheme went like: AC-BA-AC-BA so I thought that was the way. That altered a lot of my games as in my example I would have taken the Carrier and the Battleship as a casualty.
-
Your questions will be part of the Rules Clarification:+1:
-
@the-captain so I’m pretty sure Paras aren’t affected by Landmines ? If Air moving ? I don’t see any way they would be and didn’t see anything in the rules.
-
True - Paratroopers move by air in the same way as air units.
-
So I assume, once you commit to an attack through a minefield, you have to carry through for at least 1 rd ? You can’t call off attack if the boys step in it ?
-
Rules are the same as OOB - so you can retreat after any round of combat, when both attacker and defender have fired.
-
@the-captain right on that’s what I figured. Those minefields can be kinda brutal for close battles. You don’t know how many of your guys will actually make it lol
-
@The-Captain So Italy has taken Normandy in a counter attack. That means Germany can’t build Atlantic Wall units even if it has Inf present ?
The German player must control the territory in
which the bunkers are placed since the beginning
of that turn. -
@barnee
True - only in German Controlled Normandy, Holland/Belgium, Denmark & Norway can Germany build bunkers.So, in your example the Allies would have to capture Normandy from the Italians - and let Germany re-capture Normandy (and control for at least 1 complete round) in order to place Atlantic Wall Fortifications in that territory.
