Harsh Rules: Let's Learn to Play - Axis & Allies: Global 1940

[@NathanielBroombiz]

I introduced my coworkers to axis and allies two weeks ago with 1941, we’ve played three times and will move onto 1942 next week. This is a prep for when I inevitably convince them to all pitch in to get this, thanks for the video!

[@darthparallax5207]

A very large number of very small things are different in 1940, AND a small number of very LARGE things are different, so there's a massive difference between 1940 and any other edition. I have played and completed: 1914. (1x I think) 1942. (1x complete, maybe 6x partial Spring and Revised), Zombies (Tutorial Game to conquer all the European Minor Powers and Full Zombies x1) Have not played 1942 2nd Edition, Zombies 1942, 1941, or Anniversary. Have started 1940 game a handful of times. Have started Battle of the Bulge like once. It doesn't look like a lot, no, scratch that, it does look like a lot, and it still adds more than it looks like. You could consider Global 1940 to be the size of -Three- Half-games put together. (Europe or Pacific), or Three of the Smaller Editions put together (1984 original run of the game with a completely broken map, and 1941 "Starter Pack" game) My strong strong advice is to go on the HistoricalBoardGaming website, buy -just- the maps for 1940 and find the rules to download online, and very -slowly- add in extra rules, first still using the 5 original Powers. Splitting up the UK into Europe and Pacific turns is a kind of big step. splitting up the Pacific UK again into ANZAC is a bigger step than it looks like. Since France only lasts like 1 turn, Mongolia ends up actually being as complicated as France really. So Mongolia is basically secretly like a 10th Power. Splitting up Germany and Italy is a headache too, for the Axis. Don't get me wrong! I love the game! I love the series! But there are serious logistics to consider for player skill level, time to play, and room around the board for boxes of pieces! Getting used to every new rule will take some time. HistoricalBoardGaming sells a zillion colors of chip, so the expedient thing to do is to simply buy a set of Blue Chips. use these to indicate both Research Upgraded units and the new Tactical Bombers and Mechanized Infantry. (Fighters can get a bunch of Research, so add Yellow Chips so you can tell Jet Fighters apart from Tactical Bombers). Historical Board Gaming sells every single thing separately, so you can customize your purchase to get only the parts you really need at first, and add 1 new Nation at a time. Getting JUST the 1940 boards, and playing by cannibalizing your 1941 and 1942 sets, will cost you only 10 IPCs. killer deal.

[@darthparallax5207]

The Last normal nation you should add unique figures to your set to, before adding awesome crazy dumb things like Spanish Civil War and units for Greece, Hungary, and Romania, is China. just use US pieces like the rules for every other edition do. Of course you want your final game set to be perfect, with everything, and I recommend wanting everything of course. But PHASE it in step by step! Also, you're not ready to play 1940 until you can smash through 1941 and 1942/Zombies in a single game day apiece. the board is just too big. 1942 will be harder.

[@darthparallax5207]

Closing Comments: The Zombies edition is STUPID and I mean that in a FUN way. If you're going to seriously consider having as much Axis and Allies as Global 1940, you NEED a set of Zombies and to order extra Zombie pieces online to add to 1940. Because you need to, it's brilliant. Two words: Chainsaw Tanks.

The best way to finish any game of axis & allies is technologies… eventually the bomb get put into play in about 6 hours & long range bombers shortly after. 20 technologies & some countries start the game with historical timelines…. The is up for grabs but the US has a slight edge in categories needed to apply the bomb…

[@francisadam5487]

Hey Ben, great video with useful graphs and slides. I did notice a few errors and missing information that could further help your tutorial, here are my remarks: 6:21 The slide reads that the Soviet Union cannot declare war until "end of turn 4". This is incorrect, they can declare war at the start of turn 4 (Europe 1940, 2nd Edition, p. 9). 28:08 I would add that unoccupied territories with an industry complex or facility stop the blitz. You cannot enter a territory that has an industrial complex belonging to an enemy power and then blitz to another territory (Europe 1940, 2nd edition, p. 29). Also, mechanized units paired with tanks must start their move in the same territory as the tank and end their move in the same territory to allow a blitz (Europe 1940, 2nd Edition, p. 28). 31:14 You say an air unit cannot declare it will land in a hostile sea zone in hopes that a combat will make it friendly. That is incorrect, you must demonstrate a possible way, however remote, for the air unit to land including combat moves with near-impossible odds (Europe 1940, 2nd Edition, pp. 29-30). However, if the combat moves fail and your air units are left stranded, they are destroyed at the non-combat move phase. 34:07 You mention AA guns can fire on up to 3 aircraft units, I would add as a precision that each aircraft may be fired upon only once (e.g. two AA guns fire five die vs. five aircraft, not six). 34:23 I would add that casualties inflicted by a surprise attack are removed from the board and cannot fire in return, unless they are capital ships receiving their first hit or enemy submarines also conducting a surprise attack (Europe 1940, 2nd Edition, p. 19). 38:01 The slide reads that strategic bombers attack at 0 during bombing raids. That is incorrect, they attack at 1 (Europe 1940 Second Edition, p. 17). 41:00 I would add that ship bombardment: casualties can still defend before being removed (Europe 1940 Second Edition, p. 18). 47:51 I would add that if you enter/capture a territory belonging to a friendly power who’s capital is in enemy hands, you capture that territory instead of liberating it. The territory will revert to its original owner once his capital is liberated (Europe 1940 Second Edition, p. 21). I don't recall if you mentioned it but it is also important to mention that submarines cannot attack air units, therefore a defending player may not choose an air unit as casualty from a submarine hit. In return, air units may not attack submarines unless there is a friendly destroyer present. However, if the destroyer is destroyed they may no longer attack the submarines. Finally, you did not mention where units may retreat when a player decides to end combat this way. When a retreat is declared, all attacking units must retreat to the same territory or sea zone and may retreat to any one territory or sea zone from which a friendly unit attacked. For example, if Italy attacks Egypt from Alexandria and Trans-Jordan and decides to retreat after two rounds of combat, they must retreat all remaining units to either Alexandria or Trans-Jordan, they cannot split the retreating units between both territories. The only exception to this rule is when an amphibious assault occurs. In this case, the units offloading from the transports may not retreat until the combat is over. It is also worth mentioning that Harris Game Design have created an updated version of the rules called Alpha +3, these rules can be seen here: www.harrisgamedesign.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=6149 Keep up the good work, cheers!

[@ranstu6623]

The best instruction I have seen. Great job.

[@zackblair2857]

Love all your videos. Just got both editions 2 days ago and getting after it today

[@ClintSaenger]

This is the best rules video I have ever watched.

[@12322554]

Hey! The rulebook says: "An industrial complex can’t receive more than 20 total damage for major industrial complexes and more than 6 total damage for minor ones. Air bases and naval bases can’t receive more than 6 total damage. Damage exceeding these limits is not applied." And: "For each damage marker that is under an industrial complex (see above), that complex can mobilize 1 less unit. Industrial complexes can have at least as many damage markers as they have production ability." So every 2 damage cause 1 less production capacity? Also for air bases it says: "An air base is considered to be inoperative if it has 3 or more damage points" So it has 6total hp, and after 3 dmg it its inoperativable?

[@harsh-rules]

A minor industrial complex can produce 3 units per turn. Ever point of damage reduces that out put by 1. Once the Minor Industrial Complex sustains 3 points of damage they can no longer produce units. However, the Minor Industrial Complex can sustain 3 more points of damage. At max damage, a player would need to pay 6 IPC to bring the Minor Industrial complex back to full production capacity. 1 IPC per point of damage. Removing 6 damage points costs 6 IPC. The chips are just a counting mechanism to remember how much damage was sustained.

[@CrackaSlapYa]

@Ben Wait, so if I attack a strict neutral in Global do all the other strict neutrals not turn against me like they do in Europe standalone game?

[@ragtagpig8293]

Getting a reply may be a Longshot but if there is 2AAA guns in a territory and I attack it with 1 plane. Does the AAA roll 6 dice? Rules state a plane can be fired upon once and that the dice rolled is 3 times the number of AAA in this case 6. Or the number of attacking planes whichever is the lesser. So based on that I would assume the defender rolls just 1 single dice. They're claiming they get to roll 1 dice per AAA. So is it 1 dice, 2 dice or 6 dice?

[@harsh-rules]

The rulebook is a little confusing. The key point is: "Each AAA in the territory may fire up to 3 shots, but each attacking air unit may be fired upon only once." The rest of the paragraph is trying to say an AAA gun can fire at up to 3 individual air units. An additional AAA gun allows an additional 3 individual air units. (Total six individual air units) Below is that paragraph: "In other words, the total number of air defense dice rolled is 3 times the number of AAA units, or the number of attacking air units, whichever is the lesser. For example, 5 fighters attacking a territory containing 2 AAA units would have 5 shots fired against them while those same 5 fighters would have only 3 shots fired against them if there were only 1 defending AAA unit."

[@w8stral]

@@harsh-rules To clarify out of legalsleeze cut paste stupidity: 1 shot = 1 die rolled. 1 aircraft, 1 AAA gun = 1 die rolled. If 2 aircraft attack 1 AAA gun can roll 2 dice. If 3 ... 3 dice if 4 aircraft still 3 total dice rolled. 2 AAA against 1 Aircraft = 2 dice

[@am6039]

how does combat work with a fighter against infantry with no AAA? Are they just wiped out or what? I cant find this answer anywhere

[@bobbyfischersays1262]

Everybody rolls combat dice normally. If I attack your territory which has three of your infantry with three of my fighters, I’ll roll three dice at three or less and you’ll roll three dice at two or less, for example.

[@luis9976]

Thank you for the video! I only have one doubt, in the rules they say something about improving industrial complex, if a territory it’s not original for you, you can’t improve industrial complex from minor to major; this applies for example in Manchuria, where I have a minor complex with Japan, and I can’t improve to major, because it is originally controlled by China

[@jeramyahrussell2784]

Can I outright place a major industrial complex on the board or do I have to buy a minor and upgrade it. Also can I upgrade any captured complexes. The rulebook isn't very clear on this.

[@harsh-rules]

I checked. It isn't very clear. I believe you need to build the minor first and then upgrade it. I don't think you can upgrade captured complexes. The rule states "The industrial complex to be upgraded must be located on an originally controlled (not captured) territory that you have controlled since the beginning of your turn and that has an IPC value of 3 or higher.

[@jeramyahrussell2784]

@@harsh-rules Yeah I saw that. So Japan can't just plop a major down in Korea and Germany can't throw one in southern Germany? And no one can upgrade one that they capture? It seems silly that they would have a price listed for outright purchase if you can't do it as well as making all majors revert to minors if you can't upgrade. Maybe we're missing something

@@harsh-rules yea, the issue we ran into, I was germany, and literally lost all my units to france on turn 1, for 2 things, one, we had limited attacking units to only the number 9f dice available and second, with combined arms, we were treating them as a single 2 instead of 2 2s, (the french player felt like it wasnt right, and upon testing with actual rules, we found the casualties more "fair" (I still got diced but it wasnt like the fighter was just killing everything one by one like a Jackie Chan movie)

Question: If the US retakes a French territory, who does the income go to? France or US? (Assuming Paris is still held by germany.) Once France is liberated, I'd assume US would lose that income and it goes back to france. Correct?

"If the original controller’s (the power whose territory you just liberated) capital is in enemy hands at the end of the turn in which you would otherwise have liberated the territory, you capture the territory instead. You adjust your national production level, and you can use any industrial complex, air base, and/or naval base there until the original controller’s capital is liberated. The capturing player can’t use these newly captured facilities until the player’s next turn."

[@queuedjar4578]

you can always house rule it. Could potentially break the annoying end game stalemates that usually happen in late game A&A where it starts becoming clear which side is winning and all that's left for the losing nation to do is spam hordes of infantry into an unbreakable armies at their capitals, so it could be a fun high risk high reward and highly strategic game mechanic that requires a lot of investment and preparation from one team. Make it so it requires 3 nuclear research points earned from successful research point rolls. Each nation can only unlock the 1st nuclear research point, and either have to take a point from another allied nation, donate their point to another allied nation to get them to the three, or steal one from Axis nations by using the research point to do "espionage". This would require some cooperation between allied nations to decide which nation should get all 3 points, or which enemy nation to steal from. The nuclear bomb can only be used in combat when paired with an advanced bomber (so it also requires that research unlocked), can only be manufactured at capitals, costs like 20 IPC to produce one bomb, and any nation can only carry a maximum of two bombs. It should only be droppable after AA fire and any air battles so it will be similar to a factory bombing when considering battle order, even if there is no factory present it will still follow the same order of battle. When used, it kills everything in the territory its dropped in, destroys all facilities/factories, makes the area impassable for a full turn, and if used on a capital makes it so collecting IPC is disabled in that nation's capital for one turn. If a plane carrying an atomic bomb is shot down, it then transfers ownership to the nation owning the territory that the plane fell into (if it's a neutral sea zone, it falls into the control of whoever can get an empty transport ship there first, either that or just make it so it's destroyed and lost to the sea). It can also be captured if left in a ground territory and an enemy captures the territory. It can be moved by using advanced bombers, carried on transport ships in the vehicle cargo slot, and non combat move one land territory at a time similarly to AA guns. If a nation's capital is captured, the nation that captured it gets all the nuclear research that nation had. If you want one extra random chance element to sort of balance it further by making its use more chaotic, make it so when the bomb is dropped, do a dice roll. If you roll a 1 out of 6, the bomb "malfunctions" and does not detonate when landing, and gets captured by the nation it lands on. Nukes could also result in surprise turnarounds and upsets. Say if the Americans attempt to use the nuclear bomb on Japan and it gets shot down/fails and ends up in the hands of the Japanese, and they happen to have an advanced bomber lying around, they can decimate a huge army/fleet and be back in the game even after being on the brink of defeat. Or if Germany had 2 nuclear research points collected already, and America with two, then Germany gets one more successful roll, they can steal the last point required and have nukes ready right when the Allies get to Berlin's doorstep to invade. The nuclear bomb rule would make it so there's a point in playing past the regular victory conditions and make total victories something more possible and quicker, and eliminate the end game slog that very quickly demotivates everyone's will to play. Plus dropping nukes is just a cool concept.
