Global 1943 Expansion, Revised

@the-captain said in Global 1943 House Rules Expansion:
only Land Based Combat Units can be used.
The infantry’s job just got harder lol. They always get the short end of the stick. Buddy told his brother you gotta love push ups if you’re in the infantry. He joined the air force lol
-
The Global 1943 House Rules Expansion is based on the Rulebook from Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
Therefore players should also refer to the thread: EXPLAINED - Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion, since all Units & Rules are described in detail.
This gives all players a better insight in How & Why units and rules are formed and used.

EXPLAINED - Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion
Hmm … I don’t remember seeing this thread before. Is this the regular 1940 expansion one or is there a specific “Explained” one ?
-
Hi barnee - it’s a new thread that explaines the background to the Axis & Allies Globalk 1940 House Rules Expansion.
We have already attached some EXPLAINED files in pdf format.
-
@the-captain right on can you give a link
-
Hm… you’ll find it under the House Rules section - second from the top - Victoryfirst just posted a reply…

As part of the continuous developement of the Global 1943 scenario, we have Play Tested 32 games during the 2021-2022 Axis & Allies Global 1943 Gaming Season.
The results inspired our Play Testing Group to come up with a few changes in the setup.
These changes mostly concern the Eastern Front and some parts of the Pacific.
-
The Global 1943 Set Up has been revised.
During the Axis & Allies Global 1943 2021-2022 Gaming Season, this Set Up has been play tested during 32 games.
The attached pictures (see page 1 in this thread) show the Revised Set Up.
The Revised RULEBOOK 1.2 will replace the RULEBOOK 1.1 within a short time.
-
Great!
-
@the-captain Can you list the changes as well ? It’ll take me a while comparing pictures to the map and I’m not confident i wouldn’t miss something.
-
The Set Up Charts for all Nations are being revised - hopefully the Play Testing Group have them ready by next week.
We also discovered a flaw in the Original 1943 Set Up - Western Germany did not have an Air Base and Naval Base… This has also been corrected now.
Celebes is now mentioned with a 4 IPC Value Marker as well.
-
@the-captain cool I also missed the not having the bases because W Germany has em both in triplea : )
So Celebes is a 4 dollar IPC start level ? No extra points needed like PHI ?
Anyway, I’ll dial it in as soon as I can. Machine supposed to be here tommorow. Probably take a day or two to set it up and then we’ll get crackin : )
Kinda bummed my last test game fried. Only needed one more rd to finish off JPN lol
-
@barnee
Celebes still keeps its OOB original 3 IPC value. The increase to 4 IPC is only when Celebes changes hands.Example:
Philippines’ original IPC value is 2 IPC. The increase to 5 IPC is only when it changes hands.Note:
Concerning Convoy Disruption, only the original IPC value is targeted. -
The Axis & Allies Global 1943 Expansion Set Up has now been revised.
Some background history has been added as well during the Military Situation Report and the the Political Situation Report.
The Set Up now shows the Historical Peak of the Axis Expansion during World War II.
When the Global 1943 game begins - in Early 1943 - the Axis Powers are extremely close to winning an Economic Victory.
The Allies are gradually getting the upper hand in both the Pacific and the Atlantic - and on The Eastern Front, the exposed German Frontline units are in danger of being cut off - or annihilated - unless withdrawn or reinforced on a massive scale.
In Early 1943 victory depends on a brilliant strategy as well as tactical superiority on The Battlefield.
-
Awesome!
-
@the-captain would you list the setup changes separately please
-
@barnee
This is the list of changes for Global 1943 Revised.(see pg. 1 at this thread for the Revised Rulebook).
Note:
To get the complete picture of the Revised Set Up, the Set Up Charts in the Global 1943 Rulebook should also be included (see the Revised Global 1943 Rulebook 1.2 at pg. 1 in this thread). -
@the-captain wow ! I thought there was only gonna be 2 or 3 changes. There’s a whole shitload ! lol
Still trying to get the new machine setup. Gotta convert it from windows to linux and I always struggle with that lol Old one still creaking along, even if it likes to freeze up intermittently.
Try and dial in the new setup before too long. Looking forward to checking it out :)
-
New Britain gets an extra buck like the other Islands in “Pacific Expanded” ? Just double checking. Right now I’m just using edit in triplea to make a saved game. I’ll do the xml work once I get the new machine up and running.
Lots of changes ! Gonna play like a new game ! Were these mostly a nod to history then ?
Edit
I double checked setup card and Wake does get it’s Airbase in case someone doesn’t notice it.
