Notes from the Play Group
Hello A&A Players those are the house rules that we are using at home with Axis and Allies Global 1940, to have more historical approximation experience. In this Doc., we write rules we play tested, fell free to post other rule ideas, review or corrections in the post at https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/35854/g40-santa-barbara-historical-v2beta. All criticism or subjections are taken into account with appreciation.
The maxims of our rules / modification are: 1. Balance and playability, 2 Scale, 3 Additions easy to create at home or cheap to buy, 4 Historical approximation.
ATT: Santa Bárbara Historical Play Group

I. Time:
Historical research of the powers start locations at January 1° of 1940 is the base for the game time. Rounds, like the combat, is considered simultaneous for each power. Order of play for this 1940 January 1° start, have not change from the original game. There are four modes of play but, only USA and Soviet Union, new order in to enter the war is fixed in all.
We believe that the minimum time that can be adapted, because of the scale of the board map, is 3 months each round, but that increment the play time by a lot. So we opted to 6 months, which is the maximum, because a year is too much for the scale of the current map.

Round 01 January - June1940 (Game starts)
Round 02 July - December 1940
Round 03 January - June 1941.
U.S.S.R. enter the war in attack face. Finland pro Axis Activation Allowed.
Round 04 July - December 1941.
U. S. A enter the war in Attack Face. Mexico and Central America, pro allies activation allowed. Siam pro Axis Activation allowed.
Round 05 January - June 1942.
Brazil and Ecuador pro Allies activation allowed.
Round 06 July - December 1942.
Modern Heavy Tank Production allowed (Optional rule)

*We considered only locations with production over 0.900mt, for total production of 1940, but allowed Yunnan for valance.
*Sakhalin USSR Oil fields are represented in Soviet Far East, because the island is not in the map

4. Historical and Victory Conditions: With year historical restrictions and game max duration is 12 rounds, axis or allies have the majority of those victory conditions.
   (1) Majority of victory cities in Europe
   (2) Majority of victory cities in Pacific
   (3) Majority of oil producing areas
   (4) Majority of global team I. P. C. (Map and bonuses) in the bank

1. Neutrals

We correct some errors that the out of box have, and make and approximation, we know Ire and Persia were strict neutral, but for valance we made them biased. So Persia is Pro axis, Colombia, Ecuador, Liberia and Sierra Leona are pro allies. Persia have 2 more infantry, one in North and one in East, but one less in central. Colombia, Ecuador Liberia and Sierra Leona have one infantry for each one.
Sense Romania Kingdom join the war in 23 November 1940, Romania start as deactivated Pro axis with 4 infantry (NO tank). Sense Siam Kingdom (Tailandia) join the war in 25 January 1942, Siam start as deactivated pro axis with 3 infantry. Mexico, Southeast Mexico and Central America, start as deactivated pro Allies, and have one infantry each.
All neutrals who don’t have an army, win one infantry, Portuguese Guinea and Spanish Rio the Oro Gain one infantry each. Dutch territories don’t gain any at the start.
NOTE 1: If Allies Attack Siam this is not considerate and attack to Japan.
NOTE 2: USA have the control of the Panama Canal no matter if Central America is pro allied deactivated or in other allied control.

4. Russian Lean-lease
   The “Western Worker’s military aid” started to come to USSR, the first moment the Soviet Union is at war. To symbolize that, during URSS place new units phase roll a die for eligible lean-lease areas. (1) = 2 I. P. C., (2) = Artillery, (3) = Mechanized Infantry, (4) = Tank, (5) = Anti-Aircraft Artillery, (6) = Fighter.
   Aid from USA requires: Eastern USA, Alaska, sea zones 2, 3 and soviet far east, not in axis control. Units spawn in Soviet Far East.
   Aid from UKE requires: Great Britain, sea zones 126, 127 free of enemy units and Archangel not in axis control. Units spawn in Archangel.
   Aid from UKP requires: India, all Persian territories and Caucasus in allied control. Units spawn in Caucasus.
   NOTE: If Moscow is in axis hands the objective is still in play

5. France Strikes Back
   During ww2 some French forces continue the fight against the axis. There is no Vichy vs Free France dynamic. France is a single entity, and it maintains the mechanics of the game simple, and without requiring the purchase or painting of new pieces.

1- Once Paris is taken by the axis, the treasure of France passes to the enemy, as in OOB rules.
2- Automatically, the de facto capital of France is London, France will be able to add new IPC at the end of its turn, as any nation does.
3- France can buy and place, a maximum of 3, new infantry in any original territory on the map.
4- France can buy equipment in London, and place it right there, land, sea, air; but, cannot place new infantry in London. France can buy technology dice, ports and airports, for its original territories
5-France cannot produce units in industrial complexes that captures from the enemy, in this case the complexes will take full damage. France cannot buy industrial complexes.
Note: in the territory of France, the same applies, unless France or the allies take Paris.
6- If Paris is free, it merges into the capital of France again, France will return to the rules of OOB.
7- If Paris is retaken, a second time, the money passes to the conqueror (subsequent quests will have the same dynamics). And the capital of France will pass London again, unless it is taken by the enemy.
8-If London is taken by the enemy, and is the de facto capital of France, the IPCs of the two are delivered to the conqueror.

6. Italy Lean-lease
   During WW2, Germany sold or licensed equipment to its allies, especially Italy.

1- During its non-combat face, Germany can send to the north of Italy any air unit or ground machines (except infantry) for sale. A maximum of 2 per round.
2- Italy in its face of purchases can buy at half price, the German units on loan. The money is delivered to Germany.
Units are immediately replaced by Italian equivalents for immediate use.
3- Restrictions: Infantry and ships cannot be sold. Berlin must be in the hands of the axis, northern Italy must be in control of Italy.
Note: If Rome falls, this rule still works, if Italy had war bonus tec. In this case, dice need to by the number to pay.

7. Fighter Escorts and Interceptors (modified)
   Fighters can participate in strategic bombing raids. Attacking fighters may escort and protect the bombers, and they can originate from any territory, range permitting. Any or all defending fighters based in a territory that is strategically bombed can participate in the defense of the industrial complex. The number of fighters that will defend is decided after the attacker’s Combat Movement phase is completed and before the Combat phase begins.
   After antiaircraft fire is resolved against the attacking air units, if there are any defending fighters an air battle occurs between the attacking and defending air units. This combat is resolved in the same way as a normal combat, with a few exceptions. The escort fighters have an attack value of 1 (2 if the attacker has the Jet Power research breakthrough), the bombers have attack value of 1, and the interceptors have a defense value of 2, the combat lasts for only one round. After the battle, any surviving bombers proceed to carry out the raid as normal.

Fighters participating as either an escort or a defender cannot participate in other battles during that turn. Defending interceptors must land in their original territory. If that territory is captured, the fighters may move one space to land in a friendly territory or on a friendly aircraft carrier. This movement occurs after all of the attacker’s combats have been resolved and before the attacker’s Noncombat Move phase begins. If no such landing space is available, the fighters are lost.

9. Research:
   WE ADOPT the Anniversary MECHANICS, we change the place of the technologies so they are more realistic to the dates. During the purchase stage, the research counter (scientific equipment) is purchased with a value of 5 I. P. C, however, it can only be roll BEFORE the purchase-repair stage of the game.
   A counter = a die.
   A roll of 5 or less is equal to failure: the counters can be preserved.
   A roll of 6 is equal to success. The list of technology is chosen, a die is rolled again. All counters are lost and must be bought again.

Chart 1940 (Rounds 1 to 6)
T1 Improved Shipyards
Battleship 16, Carrier 12, Cruiser 8, Destroyer 7, Transport 6, Submarine 5.
T2 Radar
Your antiaircraft defense fire, from antiaircraft artillery units, units with only anti-aircraft defense values, and facilities, now hits on 2 or less, for all dice
T3 Paratroopers
T4 Increased Factory Production
T5 War Bounds,
T6 Improved Mechanized Infantry.
Each of your mechanized infantry units that is paired up with a tank now has an attack value of 3. Also, your mechanized infantry may now blitz without being paired with a tank.

Chart 1943 (Rounds 7 to 12)
T1 Super Submarines
T2 Rockets
T3 Advanced Artillery
T4 Jet Fighters
T5 Long Range Aircraft
T6 Heavy Bombers

NOTE 1: if you are in the year 1943 - 1946 you can continue choosing the list 1939 - 1942 if you wish).
NOTE 2: If the capital falls, the counters must be handed over to the conqueror power, and the conqueror acquires the same technologies of the conquered.
NOTE 3: USA can share with China advanced artillery. China can NOT buy counters.
NOTE 4: UK-E and UK-P share the technologies, but they buy counters separated.

10. Optional Rules

But wen activated, only by USA that country gain one Fighter in Southeast Mexico instant of one infantry (this for symbolize the Mexican Pacific Expeditionary force) and in Central America gain one AAA together with the infantry. (This for symbolize leant lease military aid for defense of the Panama Canal).

Special abilities: Surprise attack, enable the sea unit’s movements between land mases and sea zones Restrictions: NONE

3. Spanish rule: in real life Franco’s Spain were not a full ally of Axis, but support Axis war with commerce and volunteers, so Spain never goes pro Allies unless a direct attack of Axis power, and goes full pro Axis if Allies make a direct attack; so, to symbolize the historical situation: Roll a die. 1-3 all units become German, 4-6 all units become Italian. Note: Only a direct attack of the axis to Spain, activate all the strict neutrals rule. Bonus Objective (Euro Axis): "as long as there are allied units in continental France or Corsica, European Axis loses 2 I. P. C to bank, one for Germany and one for Italy, if there are no units there, Germany and Italy have one I. P. C. for free from the bank. If Axis control Spain territory this rule stops working.

@GEN-MANSTEIN said in G40 Santa Barbara Historical v2beta:

Krasnoyarsk

Nice idea. But in the OOB map, that will be in Yakut SSR. Maybe if the Soviet player spends 1 IPC to move the unit spawn, from Soviet Far East to Yakut SSR. We can play test your idea this December

A friend is interesting in some form of implementation of Siberian RAIL road, in our mod. I know you have one, we need to look for it.

@GEN-MANSTEIN Yes, we can play test your idea as you post, and if alters valance, counter with some IPC paid, or only allow fighters to spawn there.
Thanks for your ideas. If you have the rule for your Siberian Rail road, please fell free to post a link.
