Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion

[barnee]

@the-captain oh just missed ya on my edit. I mean if a trprt that can D1 is in the SZ the attacking trprt wants to attack would the D1 of the defending trprt prevent that from happening ?

[barnee]

so visual aid could USA amphib Celebes here

[barnee]

@barnee ok I got it now. You ignore the trprt same as you would a sub except you don’t need to be escorted.

[The Captain]

@barnee

Yes - the rules are OOB:+1:

[The Captain]

@barnee

We’re working on a Game Report thread as part of the Captain’s Global 1940 House Rules Collection.

Players can post their game reports, based on each expansion.

This should give new players an option to learn from each other.

[barnee]

@the-captain right on I’ll hold off posting in the strategy thread then

[barnee]

Do Allied units kill the russian partisan if they liberate the territory ?

Thanks

[The Captain]

@barnee

Only Soviet units “eliminate” Partisans.

Partrisans should be used only in territories that are out of reach of regular Soviet combat units, in order to avoid them from being lost to “friendly fire”.

[barnee]

@the-captain I know I’ve asked this before or probably have but … right now DNG won’t give it’s bonus unless JPN conquers it first. Is this correct ? ANZAC doesn’t get the 2 bucks if it takes over from the Dutch ?

[The Captain]

@barnee
ANZAC gets the 2 IPC if they enter DNG…

So, whoever takes over/captures DNG gets the 2 IPC.

[barnee]

@the-captain ok see if I can fix it. Hopefully it’ll be the last island fix. It’s just one island, so hopefully not too bad. I’ve thought that before tho lol

[barnee]

Does the Banzai attack mainland asia too ? Or just Islands ?

When two or more Japanese infantry units make
an attack from the same territory/island into the
same territory/island

I’ve been playing any “all Infantry” Japanese attack gets it no matter where it is. Thought I’d double check. “territory/island” is a little confusing. Islands are territories so …

[The Captain]

@barnee

Yes, the Banzai rule is eligible anywhere on the game board:+1:

[barnee]

@the-captain right arm :muscle: as my buddies dad from Hawaii would say before a sake shot “Banzai” lol

See how those russians like it lol

[barnee]

@the-captain Do the Me-109T and British Seafire qualify for Total War purchase the same as JPN and USA Navy Ftrs ?

The Me-262 says it does

Note 3:
When you incorporate the Optional Rules
(Section V) the German Jet fighter Me 262 is also
eligible for the Total War rule.
3 Me 262 units must be produced to achieve 1
free Me 262 unit.

No mention of the others but it does say “Carrier Based Fighter” above that, so my guess is yes. Just checking before adding them.

Edit
So Germany can only have 2 max, so i guess that’s a no for them, But the Brits can have 4. So yes for them ?

[The Captain]

@barnee

You’re right - Carrier Based Fighter units come the Total War rule.

Exception:
Since only 2 German Me109T Carrier Based Fighter units can be produced, they are not eligible for the Total War rule.

[barnee]

@the-captain right arm :muscle: I’ll add the Brits then. Just finished fixing DNG . Gonna do some clarification in notes and notifications. Alter some unit images so they are less confusing when editing.

Total War was a bit off but got it sorted. : )

Anyway, maybe later today or 12-18 hours since today has different meanings for different people : )

Hope the test games are going good. Looking forward to the Game reports

[barnee]

@The-Captain seeing as you’re considering some new units, have you guys ever considered doing anything to the Med Islands like you did with the Pacific ?

[The Captain]

@barnee

Hi barnee,

We have play tested with a 1 IPC Value Increase at these islands:

• Sardinia
• Sicily
• Malta
• Cyprus
• Crete

It proved to be a major Axis advantage, since Germany and Italy can reach all islands with Landing Crafts or Paratrooper units from the Air Base in Rome.

Based on these results, the idea was dropped.

[barnee]

@the-captain right on. Yea I can see that. These Paras are really quite powerful. I mostly been using them with Italy, Germany and UK. Russia generally buys 1 early.

Have given Jpn 1 early to threaten China but not usually. Maybe late game USA get with the program. It takes so long to get them in position, you’d want to concentrate with the buy probably.
