Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion


  • @barnee
    Convoy rule:
    Exception 2:
    An Escort can protect 1 or 2 friendly Transports. When an Escort is in the same SZ as a friendly Transport the owner of the Escort can choose to create a Convoy. A Convoy consists of 1 Escort unit and 1 or 2 Transport units.

    Note 1:
    When multiple Escorts and Transports are in the same SZ, the owner(s) must define which Escorts are protecting which Transports (if any). Each Escort must protect 2 Transports before any other Escort in the same SZ can protect 1 or 2 Transports, etc.

    @The-Captain

    so I believe this should say Portugal ?

    Not trying to be overly critical as you know :)

    Panzer and I are in a situation where Felix could possibly activate and I was reading up on it :)

    At first i thought why would Germany do it, but after closer review, being able to attack GIB via land, after the initial takeover, could prove beneficial in multiple ways.

    Close the Med from The Atlantic and deny the yanks the NB movement.

    Could be quite impactful. Especially the loss of the NB

    Anyway, just spitballing :)

    Edit
    Also, can Germany build a minor in Espana after control ?

    Probably no need to but … maybe they would want to.
    Yea they’re treated same as any other German Conquest.
    Dumb question lol

    Edit 2
    If Strict Neutral Nations is active, that’d give the Axis at minium 6 INF and 4 Pnzrs plus 6 Espana INF and a Ftr, Arty and Pnzr.

    That’s 19 dudes. A heavy lift for Uncle Sam.

    I’m not sure what the UK attack on Portugal does. I guess just historic ?
    Idk, I’d think they’d side against Spain. Maybe not.
    Not real familiar with their political thoughts, other than being neutral, back then.

    Anyway, something else to consider :)

    We have updated the OPERATION FELIX-HEINRICH rulebook.

    For further information, please read the updated rules.


  • Hey Axis-and-Allies Friends,
    Couple of Pacific Theater questions for HRE. First, the easier question: Regarding the increased shipbuilding, are you required to place the free ships on the turn they become available or can they be delayed? I have a game going right now where the Axis player chose to disregard the standard strategy of going after Philippines/Money Islands and instead did a Pearl Harbor attack and took Midway/Wake/Hawaii/Aleutians. So the bulk of his IJN is camped out in SZ 26 after J5 to where it’s pointless to deploy the free cruiser/sub this turn.

    Second question, a bit more complicated is: If on US3, the Allied player declares war on Germany but not Japan as is often the case, does the Allied player collect the 5 IPC bonuses associated with the Pacific?? i.e. the Philippines and the Alaska/Hawaii/Line/Johnston/Aleut bonuses. It struck me the other day that it seems wrong for USA to get Pacific bonuses for going to war if no war yet in the Pacific. Or maybe it’s a game balance issue since Japan gets the 10 IPC peace bonus if they choose to keep the peace?? Clarity requested please.

    Thanks.

    Hi Trout

    The Objectives, unless otherwise stated, are the same as out of box, so USA gets all their bonuses when at War. Doesn’t matter against who.

    As far as deploying the Free Ships, my interpretation is that they place the round they are listed. I’m sure The Captain will clarify it but that’s how we play it.


  • @barnee Barnee - thanks. The way you laid it out is the way we have been playing our games but I wanted to confirm as it wasn’t crystal clear in my head anyway.
