I wished I could enter the Baltic sea to sink that lonely German transport. The British Royal Navy had sunk the German fleet off the coast of Denmark, taking revenge for the small fleet lost earlier. However Japan can attack French Indochina without provoking UK, ANZAC or USA. If Japan enters them, it is an act of war against UK/ANZAC. In AAG40, the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) can be claimed by the British or ANZAC and will generate income for them. In hindsight, Wong (Russia) probably should have moved his two stacks of infantry up from Buryatia and Sakha. Japan bought two minor factories on its first turn, and at the end of its turn, placed them in Kiangsu and Manchuria. Keeping the Burma Road open is important for the Chinese because it gives a bonus $6 and also allows China to build artillery. He also interrupted the Burma Road on the left. Heng didn't attack the my two British battleships.Īfter Japan's first turn. A French destroyer and a British cruiser have been sunk off the coast of Denmark. We decided on the country groupings up front, and then randomly assigned the players.įrance had just fallen to the Germans. Heng played Germany and Italy, Allen played Japan. You start at an earlier point in history. This is one of the key differences between the 1940 series and previous A&A games.
In AAG40, Russia and USA are initially not at war, and may only join the action in Round 4, unless provoked, by being attacked, or USA may also enter war if Japan attacks UK or ANZAC. France is moderately well defended, but everyone knows it will fall to the Germans soon. Lots of U-boats (submarines) in the Atlantic ready to sink merchant ships (reduce income of the Allies). We had to play on the floor because the game board was just too big.įrom the point of view of the Germans. Many were taken in a hurry while playing. Note: Sorry that some of the photos are blurry. Setup plus a quick overview of the rules took us an hour, I think about 40mins for setup, 20mins for rules. I had originally planned to arrive slightly earlier to set up the game, but Heng and Wong arrived very soon after I did, and we ended up all setting up the game together. They have even printed out the reference sheets that I sent just a day ago. We all reached Allen's place before 9am, all having already eaten breakfast. I have played half a game of AAP40 once, but have not even played AAE40 by itself. Instead of lazing at home or wasting our youth at shopping centres, Allen, Heng, Wong and I spent a productive work-like 9-to-5 day at Allen's place, playing for the first time Axis & Allies Global 1940 (AAG40), which combines Axis & Allies Pacific 1940 (AAP40) and Axis & Allies Europe 1940 (AAE40) into one monster of a game. Friday was Deepavali, a public holiday in Malaysia.
