In round 9 the Allies were able to defeat the last German forces in the middle east,

The desert army was:

One Tank army
One waffen ss army. ( dropped with air units)
and 10 infantry.
Because of the allies strategy to build no navy at all in the Atlantic,
the Germans saw a perfect chance to execute Sealion after the take over.

Soviet Union:

The Sovjet Union was under heavy pressure from Germany at the start of the game, butt because of the axis invading the middle east, this was relieving for the Russians.
in the following turns the Russians are becoming very strong.
only 1 plane was successfully send lend lease.
3 planes from the English where destroyed by axis forces. (Also send lend lease)
The Russians where fighting a war of attrition.

Japan:

The Japanese forces are building up a huge amount of transports till round 4,
they only build 1 factory in china in the early stages of war.
the Plan was to take as fast as possible the money islands and the Philippens.
The Japanese build up a huge forces in the Caroline islands, The US could not capture it the entire game.
In Round 9 the Japanese defeated the last remaining Chinese soldiers.
In round 8 because of the huge build up of transports the British soldiers in India must retreat.
They destroyed the factory harbor and airfield. ( first making the factory underground.)

United States:

The US invented a new strategy to use air transport to move units to Africa every round.
which led to 50+ mechanized infantry in Asia and Afrika.
The only navy build was on the pacific,
The US navy in the pacific was a very strong fleet.
With one carrier with 2 fighter aces ass well.

butt with help of the Germans the Italians captured the entire middle east.
They hold it for at least 2-3 round.

with help of German U boats the Mediterranean sea was swept clean in round 3.
because of no allied navy the Italians held the bonus for 5 IPC the entire game afterwards for a clean sea.

The Anzac,

Because of the Japanese attacks in round 4 the Anzac where very weakened,
The Anzac focus was to recapture islands and do convoy raiding.

The Following pictures show the beginning of Round 10,
because London was captured, and the Allies could not recapture it, it was not necessary to complete the round after the German turn

Hi everyone… 💪🏻

Can’t wait to play against the best

@The-Captain

Game report from Holland,

Just played my second game with the global expansion house rules.
this brings the game absolutly to another level!

First off all i made a lot of markers, and painted all the special units with his own special color.

for example,

all waffen units with the color red.

all elite infantry with the color green.

Unfortunalty Germany lost his army by a mistake in Russia so the Allies won the game in round 12.

So next time Germany will gain a victory.
You can only learn from you’re mistakes;)

So to every Axis and Allies fan i say this,

If you are looking for a great and cheap way to improve you’re game massive.

Go for the Global House Rules collection!!!

Hi everyone,

Jan and I almost finished our warroom.
We would like to share some pictures with you.
The map on the table has the same size as the 1936 middle map.

The Map on the picture does also have the Captains ‘‘house rule expansion’’ in it. (addition to the game)
For every Axis and Allies lover, who would like to add some more variety of units and tactics.
It’s very easy to learn and to add, to your regular game, the 1940 global version.

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/37535/the-captain-s-global-1940-house-rules-collection

Just take a quick look, and decide for yourself.

On the wall we have two dice towers, which can be taken off smoothly.
(I made those myself, they are very quiet and easy to use. I also sell them, if you are interested).
We also use a magnetic board on the wall to keep up during the game. (there is a poster in the making for the board with a large ipc tracker.)

Let me know what you think of our game board, and if something is missing just leave a reply in the comments.

Best regards,

Jan and Cornelis from the Netherlands.

@the-captain

Really great work Captain.
This is a big upgrade for the standard axis and allies g40 game.

I recommend everyone to try this version.

@the-captain
Nice, I see that you are gonna upgrade the tiger tank the next round to the E-100.
The big battle tank is ready to take some hits 💪🏻

Global 1940, No. 2 Game Report: Early 1945

This is the only post in the Global 1940 No. 2 Game Report.

Players:
Axis: Cornelis Post
Allies: Dark Knight

From Early 1940, Germany launched a Massive U-Boat Offensive in The Battle Of The Atlantic.
This offensive continued during the entire War, with a continued high U-Boat production.

The fighting on the Eastern Front was clearly marked by the massive German U-Boat production, since the reinforcements on the Eastern Front were scarce.

Nonetheless the German Army Group North & Army Group South were doing progress - slowly but surely - deeper into Soviet territory.

The Soviet Union defended their frontlines with 1st & 2nd Tank Armies, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Army Corps - and an almost unlimited amount of Red Army Conscription Infantry units - slowing down the German offensive.

Japan attacked early. In the beginning of round 3. They atackted the Philippines, Anzac and the English.

United States declared War on Japan, and they get access to the national guard. Which includes 6 infantry and 2 fighter planes for free. After the suddenly attack in the pacific. The US go for a new plan. They let the pacific behind and they are going all in. In the Atlantic against Germany.

United Kingdom was surrounded by German Wolf Packs, butt very soon the US eliminate this treat.
So they also launched an attack on Europe every round. With landing craft and paratroopers.

The British economy was falling apart because of the Japanese in the pacific. They also lost all navy in round 2 including all their air units in the europe theatre.

Also Italy took Egypt in round 4 and they attacked Afrika massively.

ANZAC fought bravely - but alone without support from either United States or United Kingdom.

The Allied Nations seemed to fall apart - with no chance of getting a foothold in the Pacific. In Europe, the Germans have a very touch time. Fighting against three major nations.

Because of the massive invasions of the US and the British in Europe. The Germans must retreat on the Eastern Front.

Italy was helping the Germans on a massive scale.
In the last 4-5 rounds the Italians get 45 ipc every round.

So the allies were going all in on Berlin.
So in early 1945 Russia attacked first Berlin. After that the Americans attacked Berlin with all their planes. And the last one who attacked Berlin in the same round was England.
Is was a massive brutal attack with all air units of the English and the Americans involved.

Butt the Germans survived these fiersome attacks. So after this last huge desperate attack. The Allies surrenderd. Because there was no chance of winning the game after this.!!

( the white paper shows the Russian attack on Berlin.)

Late 1940

Germany.

builds up 1 waffen army and builds a heavy battleship including 2 transports in the meds.
also germany produces 5 air transports.
no further attacks in the second round.

Russia

Is building up a vast amount of mines,
also all Russian troops takes strategic locations to fend of any attack.

Japanese

The japanese is only attacking in China,
and is organizing its fleet to attack in the 3e round.

The US

is building up units to kill Germany first, almost all money goes the Europe theater, the entire game.

UK

the UK retakes all original country’s from italy in Africa.

Situation in the end of round 3

Germany is building up a army group in the middle east,
The Japanese are sending units to reinforce the italians and germans in Africa.

In Round 3 the Japanese sends a part of his navy to seazone 58. This makes it possible to attack at multiple positions next round.
This forces the allies player to blockade all directions to fend off an enemy invasion.

The Japanese captured the money islands in the next rounds (also China was captured )
Butt slowly US and Anzac transport liberated the money islands.
A war of attrition was held.

The Japanese prepared to take the Phillipennes
Butt this island was heavily reinforced with fighter units.
The Japanese attacked butt lost 13-18 land based units. They captured the islands butt lost to many troops, to continue the fight and re-capture the money islands.

After the russians army consricption the Axis powers in the Europe Theater where slowly destroyed and Pushed back

Because of the heavy investment in units in africa and the middle east,
soon the eastern front collapsed.
The UK and the US including Russia attacked Germany every round massively.
In round 10 The German’s decided to take over Italy.
and captured Egypt again with heavy losses for the British player.

Butt in this Round after the Japenese the Allies took as much as country’s as they could get.

**This was a very skilled and strategic planned operation, The Allies waited for the Germans to take over. They Allies where counting the ipc tracker on a massive scale.

So the Russians captured country’s deep in the German homeland.

The US captured the Atlantic coast including Holland , Norway Danmark including French. And Normandy.

The UK captured southern France.

The Anzac Captured the last money islands.

So after this Round the allies have like 200 ipc plus on the ipc tracker.
So a economic victory was a fact.

Fun Fact: there is a waffen army fighting in China in the final round.

@barnee
Maybe flying UFO’s 🤣
No anyway these extra rules looks epic💪🏻

Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season and all the best in the coming year!😎

@Trout

Those additional bonuses looks great.
Also the fight would be more intense in the Balkan and the Mediterranean Sea. Also Operation Torch would be more viable

@barnee

In the previous round all u-boats retreated.
So when Germany takes London there would be more money 😎

Like 5-6 u boats did convoy raiding.
The last 4 rounds the UK lost every round at least 10 ipc
And Yes the German u-boats attacked US convoys butt only 1 time.

The English defeated the sub with a destroyer and a tactical bomber.

@SuperbattleshipYamato

Yes it’s the first successful sea lion attack.🙌🏻
