Thank you guys for all the helpful responses! :)

So, the economy is the only thing that is split? Like can my units come together and fight in the same battle if I wanted?

That does make sense.

I just hope that I can wrap my mind around all the rules.

Couldn’t that problem be addressed by applying some kind of global negative to the UKs income? I’m no expert in these things so I don’t know.

Hey all,

I’m very new to axis and allies and I’ve been reading the rules of different versions trying to figure out which one I would like the most.

So far it seems like I would really like to play Global 1940. However, I’m very confused as to why the UK has to be split into 2 economies. Could someone explain to me why it can’t simply be consolidated into one?
