@The-Captain Thanks for sharing that strategy! Fascinating that this strategy is built around landmines in depth with offensive units and relying almost exclusively on RAC for the foot soldiers. We were going with more foot soldiers early because once Total War and Mass Tank Production kick in, it seems to be economical at that point to be kicking out seven tanks every turn and then six more artillery or half tracks whenever there are 42 IPC’s in the bank that turn.

@The-Captain actually I forgot to deduct the Advanced Production Capacity so the War continues.
Adjusted totals:
Allies 174
Axis 119 -
@barnee @The-Captain I can’t remember. Does this mean the extra dough for the Pacific Islands doesn’t count either ?
the IPC that each Nation receives from National Objective and Bonus Income and Advanced
Production Capacity etc. do not count towards the IPC level required for the Winning Conditions. -
Complete Chaos
-
Go Japan! Also, how did this happen?
-
@barnee
The Winning Conditions for an Economic Victory are fulfilled when one side reaches this Combined IPC Level after France’s turn:- Axis: 148 IPC
- Allies: 189 IPC
At the Expanded National Production Chart you must add up the totals for each Nation.
Example:
Check out my Game Report from 21st. December 2021 - there you can see a picture of the Expanded National Production Chart.Add up all totals for all Allied Nations. The Allies win an Economic Victory in Early 1945 - with a Combined IPC Level at 194 IPC.
The number of IPC (cash) that each Nation has in it’s treasury is of no importance concerning the Economic Victory conditions.

@the-captain right on so just the printed IPC values count. triplea does this correctly.
They have a total production of 233 but only 174 printed on board value. My last question is Celebes. We gave it an extra buck to boost to 4 with The Expanded Pacific Ocean so triplea doesn’t count it. Should that extra buck count or not ? Celebes is a hot spot and that 1 dollar could make a difference.
Thanks
-
Yes - Celebes should count as “4”.
I’ll correct that in the Rules Clarification - and the Updated Rulebook for Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
Thanks for question:+1:
-
@the-captain yea I remember it was talked about before but wasn’t sure. Cool a +1 add is easy enough to keep track of.
-
Is this the end for the Reich ?
Yes. Yes it is.
-
Allies still 4 bucks short. Gd trprt shot down Escorting ANZAC Bmbr in Celebes so my two trannys had to retreat. Woulda ignored them but they had an Escort that needed to be offed.
That 4 bucks woulda sealed the deal. Oh well, another 6 months to beat up on those sneak attack bastards some more.
-
Get the Alps national redoubt ready. We’ll fight in Austria!
-
Wish you didn’t answer your rhetorical question. I would have said, “No, it’s not!”.
-
Help Japan! Make the Allies walk (or sail) into a trap! For Japan!

This weekends Global 1940 two-player game has just ended today. Here is a brief situation report:
Players:

Germany.
Germany decided to go for operation Typhoon. So 70% off its ipc is spend on infantry for the eastern front. the entire game.( for more information about operation typhoon: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/assets/uploads/files/1652126951995-1.strategy-guide-germany.pdf)
Japan’s main goal in the first four rounds is to take china, regroup and go for an invasion in Russia. Also maintain control in the pacific ocean.
Italy it’s only spending units in europe to defend against invasions from the USA/UK.
Russia main goal is to stay alive the first 5 rounds.
Amerika, is building a navy in the atlantic ocean and in the pacific to take as early as possible control of the oceans.
The UK is constant invading Norway and Normandy.
Also the UK destroyed the italian navy in the first round.
And did take care of the middle east.Anzac takes over control over the money islands in the first three rounds.
Early 1944.
Germany faces a massive invasion in Norway. From the UK
Also the German advance comes to an halt in Russia.Japan faces a massive invasion in China by the english.
Japan have lost the control in the pacific ocean, and the money islands.Amerika captured caroline islands.
And will bring in continuous new units in Europe and the Pacific to weaken the Japanese and german economy.
Early 1945.
Germany is holding the eastern front
And also have a massive army in europe.Japan, is forced to retreat all the remaining units to Japan.
Allies takes over control of China.

No! Why does Japan always die before Germany? Give Germany a miracle please.
-
In round 5, the axis balance was 55-45%
Butt Japan waited to long to invade Russia. -
Sad!
-
@cornelis-post Nice report. Sweet photos ! Did Germany consider taking Italy over ?
-
Yes, in the last round Germany took over Italy.
In the previous rounds Italy could not retreat his troops from Africa because a allied blockade, in the Mediterranean Sea. -

yea I’ve just been sending them on suicide attacks if necessary to kill em off. It’s a little bit of a burn with no more can openers but that extra turn basically with them can do some major damage.
Anyway, thanks again for a Great Game Report and pics. Looking forward to more :)
