Any of you guys play the board game Axis & Allies?
As you well know,
it is a strategy game that takes place in WWII where players decide the outcome of WWII by playing at Soviet Union, Germany, and United Kingdom, and United States.
The new game Europe 1940 takes place in 1940 where France is overrun during the first turn. Players collect bonuses called national objectives. Germany gets a 5 Industrial Production Certificate (IPC, the game's currency) bonus for taking the Caucasus oil fields.
The Soviet player gets a 5 IPC bonus for taking an original German territory and holding on to original Soviet territories like Eastern Poland and the Baltic States. They lose the bonus if foreign units are on Soviet soil during the game, which is ridiculous because there were foreign units on Soviet soil like the the RAAF 455 Squadron and RAF Squadrons in Soviet territory.
Japan collects a bonus for owning the East Indies in Global 1940, with Europe 1940 and Pacific 1940 combined as one game. All it is is combining the two game boards into one.
Any of guys ever played it?
