I was thinking for new players to axis and allies you could let France go first. Also France could be a single playable country. I think this is just a good, fun, and new idea in general. It also gives the Allies lots of options. For example France can take Northern Italy or try to take Western Germany or Belgium/Holland. Try it out.

RE: [Global 1940] Alternate Win Conditions instead of Bid
I think realistically in order for the Axis to win is for them to take Russia’s three capitals. And the Japs take over all over China and a large chunk of the pacific. I think the Allies would try to negotiate with the Axis party’s at the point.

@SuperbattleshipYamato They don’t really lose IPCS through because they can retake it or Germany can.

@crockett36 I wish they had a transport so they could evacuate some forces.

@SuperbattleshipYamato Can you make it for the older triple a I think I have the 2.5 one.

RE: [Global 1940] Special Abilities Idea
@SuperbattleshipYamato I agree with those changes, I feel like only some nations should have them, for example I don’t think Anzac had any so called super powers or special abilities.
A few more examples:
France: French Resistance, is able to recruit one Infantry to one mainland French Territory. 1 per turn. Put the piece on it’s back to represent it is hiding from the Germans.
I can’t think of any other ones. I feel Germany could have a tun of them, Jets, Strong Tanks etc.

RE: Warfare Principles of Axis & Allies (By AndrewAAGamer)
@AndrewAAGamer I’m saying that if the setup the player chooses has one their. And btw their should at least be one guy in Indo China. To prove this, there were about 50,000 troops in Algeria this equals one French Infantry according to the setup. While Indo China had 75,000 troops. And their is no Vichy rule as well. So there should be a guy there.

RE: Warfare Principles of Axis & Allies (By AndrewAAGamer)
@AndrewAAGamer Their role is assisting the Allies they could also be mini can openers in Africa or when they are liberated in Europe. You could say their role is to annoy the Axis, to make the Axis spend as much IPC’s as possible on them. They do have a role.

RE: [Global 1940] Free France In London
@Sarius1997 I they saved up they could build up a Military.

RE: [Global 1940] Free France In London
@Sarius1997 They could also save up to. I think they could collect Income from Free French areas. They could collect 10 IPC’s each turn at max. They would usually make 5 IPC’s each turn. This would work great if there was a Vichy France option.

[Global 1940] Free France In London
I know this has been a idea before. That France could act like China and still produce units in Africa but it would be unbalanced. But what about London? The Germans in my opinion can be way to overpowered in the Atlantic if they choose to be. France could get 3 IPC’s each turn. Any other Ideas?

RE: Warfare Principles of Axis & Allies (By AndrewAAGamer)
@AndrewAAGamer I would disagree about France. France can be really helpful. They have a Fighter in London. And 5 guys in Africa. If the person playing as France saves the French fighter I fly it down to Algeria and stack with 2 or 3 men plus the fighter. After that I push my way east towards Egypt. The Guy in Syria Goes down to Egypt same with the guy in French West Africa. If their fleet in the Mediterranean survives it can evacuate and help the fight againsent the German Sub barrage, or other German ships. The Destroyer in French Madagascar can go to Egypt or India. And if their is a guy in French Indo China he can go backwards to India. If it goes really well for the French they will have 74 IPC’s. They have 8 Infantry, 2 Destroyers, 2 Cruisers, and 1 Fighter. This is the best scenario for them. Worst is they make it out with 6 Infantry, 1 Destroyer. The Worst case is not as good but the French still can do stuff. They are not pointless. When they get or if they get back in the game at the end they can pump out 19 IPC’s each round. This could be 3 Infantry, 1 Artillery, and 1 Tank.

Anzac? What do do with them?
In Axis & Allies 1940 Global it seems when I play as the Anzac I do nothing besides building ships. And when I have a strong enough navy to attack Japan the Allies or the Axis already beat the game.
They have two guys in Egypt and one by India. I send my planes over to help but it seems like I always turn out like the French, (only able to assist the Allies). Does anyone have any tips for Anzac?
I love their sculps btw.
