AARHE 1939 Infantry Build at VC and China Factory

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.

UPDATE: Screenshot & TripleA save game file!

Note that both the map and the saved game are missing the neutral units (including French & Dutch), because the WW2v5 map in TripleA doesn’t allow for neutral units, but this should still save you a lot of setup time if you’re interested in playtesting the 1939 scenario.

How do we know which forces are communist, but the idea has potential.
This could couple with your Russia rule and have communists move with Russia and Nationalists with America

Just painted Nationalist and communist in a different color.
I found great chinese infantry made by ceasar miniature.(1/72 scale)
You can get both nationalist and communist uniform in the box.

US player can use chinese infantry to attack japanese forces but nationalist and communist army cannot attack together and cannot share the same territory.

@Praetorian:

Thus, at the start of the Chinese turn both the USSR and US bid.  the USSR secretly bids $2.  The US secretly bids $4.  The bids are revelaed simletaneously.  The US wins and now immeditaely transfers the winning $4 to China’s cash.

(the goal of this is to represent the schizophrenic nature of the Chinese forces - its not quite modeling history since it treats the Chinese as a cohesive whole, but does model the conflicting goals of the US and USSR and their intervention in China).

Unless there are seperate victory conditions for the Soviet and US player, there’s still no conflicting goal.  The US could simply bid an excessive amount of money as they have better position and economy to stick it to Japan, and now they have essentially a free infantry factory in China.  For it to really work you’d have to choose two somewhat passive-aggressive people to play the USSR and the US who have some sort of bet going on between for who controls the most territory at the end of the game.  Maybe the bill for pizza & beer at stake, but even then I can’t imagine Russia choosing to give themselves another front when they’re already going to be needing that cash to halt Germany.  And add another rule that if US units enter Russia they immediately become Russian but are unable to use or participate in combat for a full round (to emulate lend lease training, plus they refused to return the b29s that made emergency landings so reverse engineering and research)

Just let China go first and round up infantry production (5 tt = 3 inf). I would also say let them move into Burma :roll:

I like the China mod Idea, would like to give it a try.
However, I think these might be some possible options for the House rule.

1.  China can only purchase Infantry and artillery,  perhaps add a new unit, Cavalry!  at 2,1,2,4?
2.  U.S. is and Russia can fly aircraft to chinese capital, on subsequent turn they become chinese.
3.  Japan should start with a bomber and an extra sub or destroyer in 41 and an extra carrier and f2 fighters in 42 to balance this out.

yeah, i can download those files,i can definetely use some of those rules in my game,i think i’ll use the new units and fortresses and some of the politics,and as near to the set up as i can.thanks
