@Trout Great to hear about the axis win💪🏻
Yes the HRE is truly outstanding good.
I’ve played the game like 30-50 times and I still make new strategies.The landing crafts and paratroopers are the best units available on the board definitely.
Also when you play with the axis Italy can conquer a country, or island. And Germany can move his planes in the country in the upcoming round ( also with air transport, Germany can move a panzer unit with air transport.)
So for example Italy takes Alexandria in round 3.
And germany buys 6 air units at round 3. Germany can launch an invasion with 6 units and all airplanes to Afrika.
The UK must retreat.So after a few games the balance will become 50/50 for the axis and the allies.
So also the allies must plan very carefully what to do.
We are also working on a YouTube channel.
This year we are planning to explain the rules on YouTube, and after some strategic opening moves.It’s nice to see more people enjoying the game 😎

On my 10th game against other opponents instead of just myself :)
I have always thought the Middle East to be key. OOB included. Not a revelation, as I think most would agree with that.
As Axis, Italy and Germany can both reinforce and potentially take Egypt with Paratroopers and Air Transports.
Also, more easily for Italy, with LCV’s and Naval Transports.I believe it to be key to keep the British from having free reign in Africa, which would allow them to reinforce the Cauacasus or India.
However, this will take resources away from the War in Russia and allow the Allies to engage with there resources against the Reich and Italia sooner than otherwise.
I’m not sure of the best approach, but I don’t think it can be ignored.

Most important to remember is, that the Soviet Union grow stronger and stronger during the first 5 rounds.
- In Late 1941 the Soviet Guard Infantry units are available.
- In Early 1942 the Red Army Conscription Infantry units enter the game.
- In Late 1942 the Soviet Tank Mass Production comes into play.
The combination of those 3 - not to mention the 10 IPC and Free Tank unit that the Soviet player receives when Germany attacks - make a Massive German Offensive plan in Africa impossible.
The German & Italian War in Africa and the Middle East must be fought with skill and determination on a scale that doesn’t allow the Soviet Union to grow into a Power House.
Sunday the 4th August (tomorrow) we have a game here. Keld Rasmussen (Senior Axis & Allies Veteran Member with more than 30 years of loyal membership) will play the Allies - and I play the Axis.
I’ve planned a Combined Axis Strategic Plan that adresses the above.
A Game Report will be announced asap after the game has ended.

That’s true, in my last game with Barnee, I formed the DAK and attacked Egypt with a large invasion force. However, I have never been able to make a good push into Russia. The only thing I could do was trade Leningrad back and forth. The Russians were ultimately super strong and could afford to help reinforce the Middle East as well as parts of China. It’s a strategy I don’t want to employ ever again because the Germans never really got going in the game. They managed to capture Cairo in the end, but just barely. If things had gone a little differently, my attack would have failed and all those resources I spent in Africa would have been wasted.
Looking forward to the upcoming game report! I am interested to see how you deal with Africa as the Axis 😁

As part of the Strategic Planning for Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion, the Global 1940 No. 16 Game Report reveals parts of a Combined Axis Strategic Plan.

@The-Captain Any update on Italy Strategy Guide release?

Moving over from CE unit. One thing that I have had trouble with, is if S.S.R. keeps the Siberian Army East. Back off a space from Amur.
Yanks go Big in Pacific. Max build India and ANZAC.
Then attack all at once the same turn. Now, JPN can delay that, but UK ANZAC can hit early if they want.
Sooner or later, they’ll all be at war. Keeping the Siberians in the East is key to it imo.
Seems SSR can rebound with the 26 conscripts to hold the Reich at bay long enough for it to go down.
Moving the China JPN Fctrys isn’t something I’ve considered though :)

Were you replying to Trout? Are you on the right thread? I’m a bit confused on your response.

Hi @Trout
Game Report No. 16 at the Game Report Thread shows the Italian Strategic Plan.
The Italian Strategic Plan is part of a Combined Axis Strategic Plan where Germany, Japan and Italy are working together towards the Strategic Goal.
The Italian Strageic Plan can also be used even when Italy is “fighting alone” without a Combined Axis Strategic Plan.
Italy should always consider to plan for a German Take Over Of Italy - even if Italy has reached all or some of the National Objectives.
Why:
When Germany takes over Italy, it has a massive impact on the War effort on both the Eastern Front as well as the Western Front.Also, Rome does not have to be “protected” anymore - Rome can be lost - and re-captured with no military or economic consequence.
In this way Germany is strengthened on a massive scale.
