Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion

@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.

I’m assuming this was only tested in 1940 version ?
Well for me Corsica and Peloponnesus islands should be on map. With the 5 above islands plus these 2 gives you 7 islands and I use them in groups of 3 in order to get a bonus.
It shows this on my map. Just giving an option maybe down the road.
With only 5 if that’s all that are on BBR map or g40 still can do a maybe 2 or 3 group bonus.O
Only Italy or UK get the bonus money.

@general-5-stars

Hi General,

We know your game - which is a great game.

Since barnee’s question concerns the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion, my answer naturally only concerns this game.

And it doesn’t work with increased IPC values in the Med. - based on our play testing results (9 games - all with same results).

[General 6 Stars]

Ya I get that. My intent was not to talk about my game in your thread. Was trying to make a suggestion that’s all.

I’ll not make any suggestions or post ideas unless it’s e mail or PM.

[barnee]

Can Navy Fighters land on Allied Carriers ? 2 were forced to land in Queensland and want to know if I can move them to an empty ANZAC CV.
They operate under Fighter rules, so my guess is yes, but … just wanna make sure.

Thanks

[The Captain]

@barnee

Yes - see page 32 in the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.

Only defending Carrier Based Fighter units can land in a territory if there is no friendly Aircraft Carrier to land on.

Attacking Carrier Based Fighter units must land on a friendly Aircraft Carrier - within their flight range - or be lost at sea.
