Global 1943 Expansion, Revised
-
The Combat Engineer unit has so far been succesfully play testet with the Global 1943 Expansion.
Saturday 8th January, we have last play testing game (no. 10).
Sunday 9th January, we have the first Global 1943 game with the Combat Engineer unit as an integral part from game start.
No Combat Engineer units are part of the Global 1943 Setup. These units must be purchased during the game.

Global 1943 IPC Clarification:
We have now re-checked the IPC Starting Level for all Nations.
There were questions concerning the United Kingdom and Japan Starting IPC Level.
We confirm that the United Kingdom Starting IPC Level is 59 IPC.
United Kingdom (including ANZAC) has lost the following territories:
- Shan State (1)
- Kwangtung (3)
- Malaya (3)
- Borneo (4)
Total loss: 11 IPC
United Kingdom has captured the following territories:
- Libya (1)
- Tobruk (0)
- Ethiopia (1)
- Italian Somaliland (0)
- Syria (1)
- Iraq (2)
- Persia (2)
- Eastern Persia (0)
- Sumatra (4)
- Java (4)
Total gain: 15 IPC
Original 1940 United Kingdom Starting IPC Level (including ANZAC): 55 IPC.
Global 1943 Starting IPC Level: 59 IPC.
It seems , that 1 IPC from United Kingdom savings was somehow “absorbed” into the United Kingdom Starting IPC Level.
This has now been corrected.
In other words - the Starting Income for United Kingdom is still 71 IPC.
Concerning Japan:
Japan has lost no original territories.
Japan has captured the following territories:
- Chahar (1)
- Hopeh (1)
- Kweichow (1)
- Szechwan (1)
- Yunnan (1)
- Hunan (1)
- Anhwei (1)
- Shan State (1)
- French Indo China (2)
- Malaya (3)
- Kwangrung (3)
- Guam (1)
- Philippines (5)
- Borneo (4)
- Celebes (4)
- Dutch New Guinea (2)
Total gain: 32 IPC
Original 1940 Japan Starting IPC Level: 26 IPC
Global 1943 Starting IPC Level: 58 IPC.
Thanks to VictoryFirst, for bringing this to our attention.

@the-captain said in Global 1943 House Rules Expansion:
Global 1943 IPC Clarification:
- …
- Celebes (4)
- …
Celebes is worth 3 though, not 4.
So Japans Starting IPC level should be 57 IPC. -
That explains it…
Our Game Board produced by Siredblood (Map version 1.2), shows this:
Celebes is worth 4 IPC, and the Global 1943 Expansion IPC Level is calculated based on this value.
You could choose to ignore this IPC value and use the 3 IPC value instead, and do your corrections when playing Global 1943:+1:
-
@the-captain in the rules for Pacific Expanded you have this for Borneo
Borneo 4 points 1 infantry
Ceylon 1 pointI gave Borneo the INF but it’s already at 4, so it stayed the same. This is the only place where you listed a “point total” that was the same as oob, so I just ignored it.
Now I’m wondering if that point total was meant for Celebes ? Should I give Celebes a 1 point boost to match your map ?
-
Yea - that’s true about Borneo. We decided to write the IPC value in the Expanded Pacific Setup, since there is 1 infantry to be placed there.
If we did not write the IPC value (4) it might cause confusion.
Anyway, the IPC value should be 4 at Celebes.
I’ll correct the IPC markers in the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion rulebook, so there is a “4” IPC marker for Celebes also.
Thanks, barnee:+1:
-
@the-captain right on. So Celebes doesn’t get hardwired at 4, it’ll act the same as Philippines and the others ?
-
Yea - that seems like the best solution :+1:
-
@the-captain Are there more territories that have a changed IPC value? I know Siredblood has a map where Ukraine is worth +1 as well, but Soviet Far East is worth -1. I had a lot of trouble because every time I thought I found the map I was looking for, it was a bit different from OOB. I would love to buy such a gorgeous looking map, but nobody doesn’t respond and I don’t even know the map I am looking for exists.

What version of map you looking for ?
Version 1 has Celebes worth 4. Version 2 has Celebes worth 3. Version 3 has Celebes worth 3.
Version 4 has Celebes worth 2. -
Celebes worth 4 IPC is the only change compared to the OOB 2E map.
-
Just saying Sumatra, Java, Borneo and Celebes all changed in Ver. 4.
OK Later. SS Gen out ( General 6 stars).
-
Congratulations on your promotion!
-
The Global 1943 House Rules Expansion 1.1 includes a few clarifications and corrections.
Also, a correction in the United Kingdom IPC Level have been adjusted with 1 IPC.
-
Is ANZAC/UK not allowed to spend any of it’s 15 bucks on Sumatra ? For a Fortificaion ? India took it originally I assume ? Makes it part of Indias 20 dollar purse ?
India can’t spend it’s 20 to fortify New Guinea ? That how you guys do it ?
-
UK can spend a maximum of 35 IPC in the Pacific Theatre.
The Industrial Complex in India can produce units worth maximum of 20 IPC, and the Industrial Complex in New South Wales similar with a maximum of 15 IPC.
Fortification of islands and demolition of facilities can be split between those two Industrial Complexes.
Example:
India produces 5 Infantry units and 1 Tank unit = 20 IPC.Sumatra is fortified with 5 Fortifications - those 5 IPC must count towards the maximum spendings from the New South Wales Industrial Complex.
-
@the-captain right on so Fortifications can be bought with either purse. Can only place maximum at each Factory. Cool
Yea, looks as if we might get some Guadalcanal action. They’ve got their hackles raised anyway. Well New Guinea actually : )

So Celebes should get the extra buck in EXP 40 as well ? Not just 43 ?
-
True - Celebes is worth 4 IPC.
I’ll correct it in the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion rulebook:+1:
-
@the-captain right on I couldn’t remember. It’s still triggering the extra buck but the extra Green 4 PU thingy not showing up so I’ll add it next update.
I think the start numbers should be good, just need that extra buck to kick in when conquered.
