Minor Nations

I would assume you are using the global 1940 map but what is your start year. This is especially important for Finnish NAs or NOs.

Canada as a minor allied power.

UK Pacific loses 1 IPC (to 16)
UK Atlantic loses 6 IPCs (to 22)

Canada & ANZAC become a new power known as “UK Commonwealth” with 2 economies. (Just like regular UK)

The Canadian economy starts at 7, and they are represented by ANZAC units
Canada has 2 National Objectives

5 IPCs - No United Kingdom Europe or Canadian territories are subject to Convoy Raiding by Axis Forces
5 IPCs - When the United States is at war with the European Axis.

Canada’s setup is:
(NOTE: all UK units are replaced with Commonwealth units in these territories)
SZ 106 - Destroyer, Transport
SZ 123 - Destroyer, Transport, Transport (UK)
New Brunswick/Nova Scotia - 1 Infantry, Port
Quebec - 1 Infantry, 1 Tank, 1 Fighter
Ontario - 1 Infantry, 1 Artillery
British Columbia - 1 Infantry

United Kingdom - 1 Infantry (Commonweath)
Iceland - 1 Infantry (Commonwealth), 1 Infantry (UK)

Germany gets an additonal sub in SZ 118

Incorperating ALL the things ive got floating around in my brain is to monumental a task for even myself, lol

Id need some time to make up Canadian NAs

Most of my rules are not designed to be interchangeable, or at least i dont look at them that way.

Some ideas from a variant I play:

IPC Income: Finland (3 IPC), Romania (6 IPC) , Bulgaria (3 IPC) & Hungary (3 IPC).  These IPC income levels are fixed and do not change except for NO achievements.  Any captured territories by Minor Axis nations are applied to Germany’s IPC total.  IPCs cannot be share amongst Minor Axis nations or with Germany.

Germany and Minor Axis act on the same turn (so they can conduct combined attacks).

German NO: Gemamny recevied +5 IPCs while all Tripartite Pact members are unconquered, including Italy, Romania, Hungary, Bulgaria (+ Japan for global game) and Finland remains unconquered.

Unit Builds:  Minor Axis nations cannot build ICs, Air or Naval bases.  They can build any land unit type, Fighters and Transports but no other naval or air units. Any units purchased are placed on the Minor Axis nations home territory.

Minor Axis units can be combined with German (but not Italian) units for special abilities: i.e.:  Romanian artillery can support German Infantry to recevie +1 attack bonus.

Set Up & NOs (1940):

Finland: 2 Infantry / 1 Artillery / 1 Armor. +2 IPCs when Finnish units occupy Vyborg / +1 IPCs when 3 or more German land/air units are present in Finland.

Romania: 3 Infantry / 2 Artillery / 1 Armor / 1 Fighter. +1 IPC when SZ100 is free of allied naval units / +1 IPCs when both Ukraine & Western Ukraine are occupied by Romanain units / +2 IPCs when 4 or more German land/air units are present in Romania / +2 IPCs when there is an uninteruppted supply line from Romania to all of the following german controllerd territories: Germany, West Germany / Greater Southern Germany.

Bulgaria: 3 Infantry / 1 Artillery / 1 Mech Infantry.  +2 IPCs when Bulgarian units occupy Greece / +1 IPCs when 3 or more German units are present in Bulgaria.

Hungary: 3 Infantry / 2 Artillery / I Armor / 1 Fighter.  +2 IPCs when Hungarian units occupy Yugoslavia. +1 IPC when 3 or more German units are present in Hungary.

@Pvt.Ryan:

Okay so thats your mission so here are the nations (if you think anyothers need to be added then post it): Finland, Minor Axis (I need a better name but these are Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria), Manchukuo, Thailand (a.k.a Siam), Dutch (free Dutch forces in the Pacific), and Communist China.

I know you asked for NAs and NOs, but I just want to comment on a broader level about a few of the countries of your list because not all of them sided with the Axis (which your post and your related “Minor Axis Powers” post both seem to suggest).

Thailand / Siam: The King and some of the senior leadership agreed to let Japan walk into Thailand in 1941, but Thailand’s position was more that of an occupied nation than of an Axis partner.  Much of the population and some of the country’s leadership was pro-Allied, and the Thai underground supplied a lot of valuable intelligence to the Allies during the war.

Holland: You should be clear that the “Dutch free forces in the Pacific” were on the Allied side.  Neutral Holland became an Allied country in 1940 when Germany occupied it.  Its colonial empire (including the Dutch East Indies) continued to side with the Allies.  In fact, in the early months of the Pacific war, there was a short-lived ABDA (American-British-Dutch-Australian) joint command structure.

Communist China: There was no Communist China during the Second World War.  There was a fairly small area in China (centered around Shaanxi) controlled during the war by Mao’s Communist forces.  Mao and Chiang only had a limited amount of cooperation during the war; both were anti-Japanese, but they were also anti-each-other.  You could say that the main “national objective” of both Mao’s Communists and Chiang’s Nationalists was to position themselves as best they could for the post-war world so that, when the Americans eventually defeated the Japanese, Mao and Chiang could gain the upper hand when they resumed their war against each other.

Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria are pretty much out of my orbit, but here are a couple of thoughts as far as Finland goes:

Finland’s participation in the German attack on the USSR was as a co-belligerent (rather than as an Axis member) and it saw the conflict as the second phase of the original Russo-Finnish Winter War of 1939-1940 – hence its name “The Continuation War” in Finland.  Its national objective could be stated as the reconquest of the territories lost to Russia in the Winter War, plus some additional territorial gains for good measure.  (See “Continuation War” in Wikipedia for more details: “Finland’s main goal during World War II—although it was nowhere openly stated—was to survive the war as an independent democratic country, capable of maintaining its sovereignty in a politically hostile environment. Specifically for the Continuation War, Finland also aimed at reversing its territorial losses under the March 1940 Moscow Peace Treaty and by extending its territory further east, to have more non-Finnish land to defend before armies from the USSR could enter Finnish territories.”)

Replace the UK units with ANZAC (Commonwealth) unless otherwise noted

Ok, replace wasnt the right word
Put it this way, there are no UK units in canada, Commonwealth only

Quebec - 1 Infantry, 1 Armor, 1 Fighter, Minor IC
Ontario - 1 Infantry, 1 Artilery
Nova Scotia - 1 Infantry, Naval Base
British Coloumbia - 1 Infantry
SZ 106 - 1 Destroyer, 1 Transport
SZ 123 (Iceland) - 1 Destroyer, 1 Transport, 1 Infantry, 1 Transport (UK)
United Kingdom - 1 Infantry
Egypt - ANZAC Units as normal, as with all other ANZAC units on the pacific board

Remember, ANZAC + Canada is a 2 economy power, called Commonwealth.

I really like the Canadian set up. Looking forward to the Dutch addition.

Is this thing still alive.
