These rules are part of the Axis & Allies 1940 Global 2E, House Rules Expansion.
These elite combat units bring a new dimension to the game, especially to the fighting on The Eastern Front.

Thank you for responding!
Can you please send me some links for 1943 setup games that use the 1940 board? I can’t find them. Thank you!

I think if you want to desgin a 1943 setup on your own, you can let Germany go first with advanced positions in Stalingrad and Caucasus, and to give them the option to either improve their position, or retreat (like captain did in his version). Because I think it’s gonna be hard to design a game to allow Germany to come back in 1943 from a Russian counter attack (like in 1942). These are just ideas, but I am also interested in a OOB 1943 setup, so if you make any progress in designing I will be glad to hear. -

Hi,
To avoid confusion with the Global 1943 House Rules Expansion, please move your OOB 1943 post to another thread.

We have played Global 1943 House Rules Expansion several times, since we ended the play testing. All I can say is that never before have I experienced an Axis & Allies setup so realistic and close to History as the Global 1943 House Rules Expansion. It is both fun to play and challenging. I hope that other Axis & Allies players will experience what we’ve experienced…

Thank you for responding!
Firstly, your game really does look interesting, and I’m sure it will be quite fun, as a sort of “bonkers” game, where everything is crazy, such as Waffen SS armies.
Secondly, an interesting idea to add to you rules are Ratte tanks, they probably only move one territory (or maybe even only once every two turns), cannot be loaded on transports, attacks and defends at 5 with 3 dice, takes 3 hits to kill, and costs 12 IPCs. Maybe they can only be placed on Industrial Complexes in the West Germany and Germany territroies.
Finally, is it possible for you to please send me a link to an accurate 1943 game? I couldn’t really find anything. Thank you!

The Global 1943 House Rules Expansion is the only complete rulebook and setup that I know of, so I’m not able to help you any further in your 1943 search.
You might want to open your own thread in “Other Axis & Allies variants” to go further, since it doesn’t fit under my thread.
Good luck & have fun.

Thank you for responding!
I actually did create my own topic, which also asks about a 1941, 1942, and a 1944 setup. I already found setups for 1941 and 1942, but not 1944.

The first Global 1943 game in the 2021/2022 Axis & Allies Gaming Season.
Allied economic victory in Late 1945.
-
@the-captain Awesome ! How many Players ?
-
Too bad, I always root for the Axis… RIP Japan
-
Four players - two game boards, each 1 on 1.
My own game ended with Allied economic victory in Late 1945.
The other two players didn’t finish their game yet - but it might be an Axis victory. We’ll see this tomorrow, when they finish (2-3 more rounds should do it).
-
The second Global 1943 game has now ended.
As predicted, The Axis won by defeating The Allies economically.
Eventually it would have ended with a Military Victory - but according to the rules, when The Axis have a combined IPC level at 148 IPC at the Expanded National Production Chart, victory is achieved.
The War ended after France’s turn in Early 1946 with an Axis IPC level at 151.
Germany took over Italy in Late 1943, after succesfull Allied landings in northern Africa - and defeat of all Axis forces in Africa.
A renewed German offensive on the Eastern Front, pushed the Soviets back in disorder.
In Late 1944 a Soviet Army Group was surronded and cut off in Rostov. It was reinforced by Paratrooper units from Moscow - but stood no chance against the onslaught from a German Army Group and 20 Waffen-SS units supported by 10 German Paratrooper units.
In Early 1945 the Soviet lines of defense simply collapsed, and German forces - spearheaded by Waffen-SS Panzers & Waffen-SS Panzergrenadiers - drove around Moscow - encircled the Soviet Capital - and attacked deep into Soviet territories behind the Urals and further on.
By that time, the United States and United Kingdom had landed in Europe - and the Western Front was now on the border to Western Germany.
In the Pacific, Japan had reinforced the defensive positions on most of the conquered islands - and by a briliant naval strategy, was able to hold back the US Navy long enough to achieve Victory.
UK controlled Calcutta & New South Wales were still holding out - but as German Panzers pushed on deep into the Middle East, defeat was imminent.
In Early 1946, the Germans spend all their income, purchasing exclusively U-boats and Me 262 Jetfighter units, in order to defeat the UK and US navies in the Atlantic.
The War ended before The Second Battle of the Atlantic could begin…
-
@the-captain Awesome ! Great game report :+1:
-
Who do you think would have won the Second Battle Of The Atlantic?
-
@superbattleshipyamato123
Most likely the Axis, since the losses in ships would be difficult for the Allies to replace at this time of the War.
-
Is it possible you can shows us a map of the board at the end of the game please? Thank you!
