National Objective

@otahere34:

Does anyone have a set of national advantages for the Alpha 3 setup? I’ve seen national objectives but so far they’ve been conflicting with the alpha 3 setup. Any help would be appreciated.
34

National Advantages haven’t been a game mechanic since Axis and Allies Revised, and even then they were optional.  As of AA 1940, national Advantages only exist in house rules, so, feel free to make up your own, use some that others have posted, or use AA revised advantages.  However, they aren’t balanced and aren’t used anymore - thats a house rule and up to you.

I’m not sure what you mean by National Objectives conflicting with Alpha 3 setup.  The Alpha 3 National Objectives replace all previous ruleset objectives (OOB included) and are as follows:

Germany
When Germany Is Not at War with the Soviet Union:
• 5 IPCs representing wheat and oil from the Soviet Union. Theme: Beneficial trade with the Soviet Union.

When Germany Is at War with the Soviet Union:
• 5 IPCs per territory if Germany controls Novgorod (Leningrad), Volgograd (Stalingrad), and/or Russia (Moscow). Theme: High strategic and propaganda value.
• 5 IPCs if an Axis power controls Caucasus. Theme: Control of vital Soviet oil production.

When Germany Is at War with the United Kingdom and France:
• 5 IPCs if at least one German land unit is in Axis-controlled Egypt. Theme: Gateway to the Middle East oilfields (high propaganda value).
• 5 IPCs if Germany controls both Denmark and Norway while Sweden is not either pro-Allies or Allied-controlled. Theme: Access to iron ore and other strategic resources.
• 2 IPCs per territory if Germany controls Iraq, Persia, and/or Northwest Persia. Theme: Access to strategic oil reserves.

Soviet Union
When the Soviet Union Is at War in Europe:
• 5 IPCs if the convoy in sea zone 125 is free of Axis warships, Archangel is controlled by the Soviet Union, and there are no units belonging to other Allied powers present in any territories originally controlled by the Soviet Union. Theme: National prestige and access to Allied Lend-Lease material.

France, Troop Bonus:
When the territory France is liberated, the player controlling France immediately places up to 12 IPCs worth of any French units on the territory France. This happens only once per game. Theme: National liberation and national prestige.

@otahere34:

Sorry i’m getting national objectives confused with national advantages. sorry and thanks i’ll use your advice

National advantages weren’t included in the 1940 editions, only national objectives, and political situations.
