[Global 1940] Revised Setup For France

House Rules

last edited by Panther
Every time I play Axis & Allies France always feels powerless .Which is historically accurate, But I feel they should have a bit more of a punch. Also the United Kingdom had way more forces helping defend France then just a tank and artillery. Also they did have a small force in Indochina even a small air force of Fighters and seaplanes. So I took it upon my self to make a better setup for France. France
```
France - 8 Infantry (6 French Infantry, 2 United Kingdom I	Infantry), 3 Artillery (2 French Artillery, 1 United Kingdom Artillery), 1 AA Gun, 2 Tanks (1 French Tank, 1 United Kingdom Tank), 2 Fighters, Air Base, Major Industrial Complex

Southern France - 2 Infantry, 2 Artillery, 1 Tank, Naval Base, Minior Industrial Complex

Normandy/Bordeaux - 3 Infantry (2 French Infantry, 1 United Kingdom Infantry), 2 Mechanized Infantry (1 French Mechanized Infantry, 1 United Kingdom Mechanized Infantry), 1 Artillery, 1 Fighter (1 United Kingdom Fighter), Naval Base, Minior Industrial Complex
```
United Kingdom - 1 Infantry

Morocco - 1 Infantry, Naval Base

Alegria - 1 Infantry, 1 Mechanized Infantry

Tunisia - 1 Infantry

French West Africa - 1 Infantry

Egypt - 1 Infantry

Syria - 1 Infantry

French Indochina - 1 Infantry, 1 Fighter, Airbase, Naval Base

Sea Zone 110 - 1 Battleship

Sea Zone 93 - 1 Destroyer, 1 Cruiser, 1 Submarine

Sea Zone 72 - Destroyer

Sea Zone 36 - 1 Destroyer, 1 Submarine

Let Me know what you think.

@The-Captain

That’s true, in my last game with Barnee, I formed the DAK and attacked Egypt with a large invasion force. However, I have never been able to make a good push into Russia. The only thing I could do was trade Leningrad back and forth. The Russians were ultimately super strong and could afford to help reinforce the Middle East as well as parts of China. It’s a strategy I don’t want to employ ever again because the Germans never really got going in the game. They managed to capture Cairo in the end, but just barely. If things had gone a little differently, my attack would have failed and all those resources I spent in Africa would have been wasted.

Looking forward to the upcoming game report! I am interested to see how you deal with Africa as the Axis 😁

@Axisarmpit said in [Global 1940] HELP PLEASE Axis and Allies Global Impasse:

Im not blitzing through a territory with infrastructure, but I am entering a territory with infrastructure as part of my non contact move. Lots of gamers agree variations on their understanding of particular rules?

Right. I understood you were not blitzing. I was using that as an example of logic. Please let me explain.

In your explanation of your House Rule you said “…a non combat movement can take the form of an advance into empty enemy territory…”. Your question then is a territory containing infrastructure empty or not? Therefore:
An armor unit may blitz through empty enemy territories An armor unit may not blitz through a territory containing infrastructure Thus a territory containing infrastructure is not empty
Of course it is your House Rule so you can do anything you want but if you want to follow the logic of the game I would say you cannot advance into an enemy territory containing infrastructure during the Non-combat Phase.

Is it possible for this game to be set it up so that every country could fight on it’s on; with one country destroying everyone else as the only victory condition? Say, combine Italy and France (with Spain and Portugal?) and let them go first? Britain goes 2nd? And perhaps add about 1 guy to every Chinese territory? What would the outcome of THAT game look like?

My friend and I have been developing some rules for a Free For All on the Global 40 Board. Each country has a special unit and unique national objectives. Here is a rough outline, let me know what you think:

Countries:
Germany - 30 IPCs - Blitzkrieg Ability
Russia - 37 IPCs - Movable Factories & Factories placeable anywhere (movement of 1)
Japan - 26 IPCs - Yamato (24 IPCs, 3 hits to kill, 4 - 4 combat value)
America - 52 IPCs - Marines (4 IPCs, 2 - 2 combat value, +1 attack during amphibious assaults, destroyers & cruisers have can carry 1 each similarly to a transport)
Communist China - 4 IPCs - Cavalry (4 IPCs 2 - 1 combat value, can move two spaces, no blitz)
China - 9 IPCs - Cavalry (4 IPCs 2 - 1 combat value, can move two spaces, no blitz)
United Kingdom - 21 IPCs - Commando (5 IPCs, 2 - 3 combat value, can be paradropped by a bomber in which the first hostile territory the bomber goes over it has to be dropped, or can just be a noncombat)
Italy - 10 IPCs - Armoured Car - (5 IPCs, 3 - 2 combat value, can blitz)
ANZAC - 10 IPCs - Commando
Canada - 7 IPCs - Commando
India/FEC - 17 IPCs - Gurkhas (4 IPCs, 2 - 3 combat value)
France - 19 IPCs - Fortifications (5 IPCs, up to 3 per territory, +5 IPCs for every existing fortification in the territory, enemy armies cannot blitz through and enemy infantry cannot pair with artillery)
Netherlands - 12 IPCs - Colonial Infantry - (3 IPCs, can place in any originally owner territory)
Middle East - 8 IPCs - Jihad - Does not have to wait a turn after declaring war
Nordic States - 5 IPCs - Finnish Winter Soldiers - (3 IPCs, 1 - 3 combat value, no enemy blitz)
South American Federation - 8 IPCs - T-Boats (4 IPCs, can carry 1 unit, 3 movements)

Rules:
Ideally each country is controlled by one player.
All nations begin at peace; war takes 1 turn to declare.
Each country has its own national objectives.
Some units have been changed around with the setups; however, the majority of the setups have remained the same.
If you conquer a country you may choose to puppet a portion of it.
There are no pre-established alliances.
When two nations are at peace they gain a trade bonus.
Countries may form alliances, non-aggression pacts, request military access, declare war, and lend lease.
Oil derricks give the controlling power 1D6 roll of IPCs.

Yes I agree that more VCs needed in PTO and Japan should have to work to get that 1 more VC in the PTO. I do have a VC Capital in Manchuria for my 40 game but with not having 18 inf in area it doesn�t seem to get pressured much.
Singapore is out of the question due to Japan being so strong by islands from G40 game reports. Got to make Japan earn it. Just some thoughts.

I love the idea for a Europe 1939 game, 3 individual blocks with own specific victory conditions.

Player 1, the Axis with Germany and Italy, separate economies but move and attack together.

Player 2, the Commies, USSR aka Russia, joined with China in the global game.

Player 3, the democratic western allies USA, UK, France, separate economies but move and attack together.
