@Hythem No, not at all. I am just making a comment from my side. No need to apologize at all :)

I was thinking of how the British will be squeezed in the Middle East after Cairo fell and India hopefully to fall. It should have led to their demise, right? But now, instead, they are somehow the aggressor again.

1 UK INF on 1 US TRN
4 UK FTRs on 2 US carriers

For players who have questions to the Game Mechanisms of the G40 HRE game, we draw attention to the fact that this thread explains what is “Behind the Scenes”.

See the top of the first post in this thread for further information.

We’ll gradually add more Information & Explanations about the remaining Units & Rules in the G40 HRE rulebook.

Hi @shadowhawk

Concerning your comments on the use of D6 for use with the G40 HRE:

No Tank or Panzer units attack at “5” German Waffen-SS Panzer units attack at “4” and defend at “5” German Waffen-SS units defend at “4” - except Waffen-SS Panzer (“5”)

All specialized units (Historical units) that are purchasable by each Nation, are limited in numbers.

Example:
Germany can purchase a maximum of 4 Waffen-SS Panzer units.
These Waffen-SS Panzer units cannot enter game until Late 1942 (round 6).
Units lost in combat can be reproduced.

The limitations to each of the specialized units are due to a combination of their Historical Timeline & Historical Production Numbers - as well as Balance of Play.

With more than 1.250 Global 1940 games completed with the G40 HRE rules, our game experience shows that no single unit (Marines, Paratrooper, Landing Craft etc.) or unit combination (Waffen-SS Army, Tank Army etc.) or rule (Soviet Red Army Conscription, Strategic Rail Movement Capacity, UK National Economy etc.) can unbalance the G40 HRE game.

The only factor that can decide the outcome of the G40 HRE game - are the decisions that are made by each Axis & Allies player.

@shadowhawk said in When going for Moscow as Germany...:

So they are trapped like a bird in a cage.

Just hope the bird doesn’t get free :)

Unlikely that it may be :)
