        Here are the game notes - NOTE: THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO SAVE game notes inside Mac version of this game. If you know a way please send to me with screen shots... because I don't see it.

        104f0b47-e97c-438e-8757-c6cb9b3af6f8-exp-game-1-jc-USA_CHINA_UK_1.txt

        Here is the game save - USA 1: bought stuff, moved stuff. I don't what to say mate.

        China tries to fend off its certain doom by turtling up...

        And UK put some mines in India and other stuff - staying within the 20 PUs (or bucks or pounds or dollars or whatever the unit is) that according to the rules says the UK must stay at or under... Might want to check that.

        Anyway the only combat with some mafia guys in Afrika that needed to be taken care of...

        OK The Mightly Italians are next. I sense a surprise.

                  Sadly for the Nazis, their reign of terror has stopped before it even got going. The French Legion from the Future has returned to this Earthtime and started eradicating the Nazi forces in France starting with Vichy France; Southern France will always belong to the Good Guys...

                  And the actual game save:

                  So I will await your formal surrender. Surely @beelee will concur that the Axis future is now all but decided now that the French Plasma Gun army from the future has landed in Southern France.

                    heh heh vive la france lol

                    That might be the first time I've ever seen France make a successful counterattack in rd 1 ๐Ÿ™‚

                    Hey, you got a hit from the Sacramento guy at the other site :thumbs_up:

                    Edit
                    Yea so the Marine will place in 1st place but the Paratrooper and Elite will place in 2nd or normal OutOfBox place. So the Para needs to be in D.C. Can't place and move it same turn.

                    You're getting there ๐Ÿ™‚

It's in the rulebook and will be quite handy when the Soviets start churning out huge amounts of tanks about Turns 6-7. Early game it only fits with the Nazis but good to know about it nevertheless. Well, we made it to Turn 2 and you have already made a bit of history in that I have never seen the Frenchies go on the offense on F1 except in limited naval situations. Looks like you are forming a formidable Task Force of naval and air assets around Gibraltar so had to roll out the Bismarck to counter that. Over to Uncle Joe now.

                        @trout About to start R2 but had to reread the rules - so you bought a Battleship !? WOW. I actually enjoyed the movie about a BB in Hawaii fighting aliens like two decades ago...

                        I forgot to mention that the Australians paid hard cash to Destroy a harbor they had to deny those shifty Japs (gosh I LOVE Japanese girls... can we switch please? I'll trade you Russia for Japan. I'm returning there a couple weeks I hope...

                        @beelee
                        And how do I "arm" mines? I read about engineers but can we arm mines another way? And did I do good to put mines in India? I thought that that was the only exception to otherwise having to put mines in the capital and ship them to wherever ...

                        OK so I will try to buy a commissar but I am still confused over WHERE you put your Panzer General formation and units?

                        And I see I can already form Soviet Commissar "groups" or whatever they are called, consisting of the Commissar unit and 3 others land units (likely a tank and two infantry but who knows...)

                        I need to know how to do all this so my R2 might end up being just a practice round since I don't know that they are at war with anyone yet right??

                          R2 seems clear but I have no idea how to actually make the two ARMY GROUPS. But I want in Ukraine and Moscow two such Army Groups and with the commissar leader, a tank next and Art and Inf for the final 3 pieces.

                          And I want to arm mines but don't know how.

                          I note that you attacked Southern France with almost a Panzer Division and the entire Luftwaffe - I am proud...hahaha

                            heh heh

                            yea i saw ANZC dusted Singapore. Actually, only UK can do that and it costs against there 20 PU spending. So you might want to just give ANZC an extra 4 bucks or unit equivalent and put the Harbor back and let UK dust it next rd.

                            I doubt JPN will attack Rd 2, so you should be safe but yea, Iusually whack it early. Same with PHIs ๐Ÿ™‚

                            Best combo for a Commisar "Corps" game wise, is at least 1 Tank and 2 Mech or any type of Move 2 unit. Early game that isn't always possible.

                            Usually you will just have 3 Tanks and the Commiesar.

                            Will do a test save before R's next turn showing how to move to the Boxes. I think Trout already did with his Panzer Army, so you can look at History how he did it.

                            Notes should explain it fairly well but it can still be confusing until you do it a few times.

                              @johnnycat Hey JC. No problem. I made so many mistakes in the beginning with forming Armies that there's 0% chance that you will screw it up more than I did when I first got started. Not really a problem to make mistakes with Russia and Armies before Barbarossa gets launched. But when that launches, it will be a problem if Russia doesn't have them. Standard strategy is to build one Commissar each turn for R1-R3. Starting R3, you will get a free tank in Urals each turn that you can use immediately. So that tank can move to Moscow immediately to help with arming the Commissar armies. Should always have at least one tank in the Commissar Army because the Army allows one unit to hit twice. So obviously best to attack with 2 dice rolls at 3 instead of 1 or 2. Most people like to have their armies populated with only tanks, mech infantry, or Russian Guards which is a cool special unit that you can build starting R4. But for Army Groups, I don't populate mine with all fast movers. If you are good with it, I would recommend we don't play with Army Groups this game. Learning how to form the Armies is enough to give somebody a brain cramp.

                                @trout I could go either way. But Iโ€™d rather learn the army groups than not.

                                And we can always just redo turns. Or even start new games.

                                So Iโ€™m not worried and rather look forward to more complexity since basic axis and allies is hardly more challenging than RISK, lol.

                                By that I only mean that the key to winning is to get a localized majority of pieces.

                                These new rules seem to allow for a player to win territories without the usually required majority. So it opens the door to more strategy. At least thatโ€™s how I interpret it.

                                  @johnnycat You're spot on. That's why I love HRE. I grew up as a board game lover. Especially Risk & A&A Classic. But now need something more challenging and HRE provides it. Actually Beelee are in a game right now where he is the better player and Italy/Japan not doing so well. But I may win very soon as it appears I have launched a Sea Lion surprise attack on him (should win pending dice). Okay, I will form my first Army Group on G3 most likely. I took a look at your R2 and looks fine to me. I can tell you will cause me some issues whenever I attack with your two big stacks north and south. One thing to prepare for is that Russia has some very interesting special house rules which you are on the cusp of using. So be prepared for:

                                  R3: Getting one free tank each turn in Urals
                                  R4: Can build Guard Infantry which along with U-Boats and Elite Infantry may be the most powerful land unit in the game for the price; basically a Panzer Grenadier which only costs 3.3 IPC instead of 4.
                                  R5: Red Army Conscription - the most powerful weapon in Russia's arsenal and generally keeps Germany from knocking out Russia whereas it's not so difficult in the regular board game version
                                  R6: Fighter Ace and can buy three tanks each turn for only 4 instead of 5
                                  R7: Total War in effect

                                      Hi Cat

                                      Here is an example of creating a Corps and moving to it's Box.

                                      Fire up edit and select "Perform Move or Other Actions". This will allow you to move any units of any player that have movement. It will only work during Combat and NonCombatMove.

                                      Also, all Boxes are connected to Germany to enter the board. In early game before G and SSR are at war, this prevents the Soviets from moving into their Boxes.

                                      Screenshot from 2025-12-04 17-08-26.png

                                      There are two ways around this. You can switch G and SSR to at war temporarily.

                                      Screenshot from 2025-12-04 17-16-11.png

                                      Screenshot from 2025-12-04 17-18-25.png

                                      Now you can go back to "Perform Move ... " and move to the Box. We're moving Commisar, 2 Tanks and a Mech from UKR to 1st Corps.

                                      Screenshot from 2025-12-04 17-21-57.png

                                      Then we're going to move Commisar 3 from the "Overflow" Box to 1st Corps. He is the unit that activates the Corps and will give 1 Tank and himself a extra die roll. The 3 designates an Attack 3 Unit, in this case a Tank, to receive the extra die roll.

                                      Screenshot from 2025-12-04 17-27-25.png

                                      Lastly we move the 1st Corps Token to UKR.

                                      Screenshot from 2025-12-04 17-28-33.png

                                      Note
                                      You can make multiple moves when in edit "Perform Move or Other Actions" without having to click on it everytime you make a move. It will stay on that function until you change it to something else, unlike "Add Units" which you must click every time.

                                      Then return SSR and G back to Neutrality.

                                      Screenshot from 2025-12-04 17-32-03.png

                                      You can also simply add and delete the necessary units but you need to be precise as it won't catch a mistake. Sometimes, at end of Placement for example, you will have to use edit add and delete because the move function won't work.

                                      Usually I just leave as is and form the Corps/Army during CM or NCM next turn.

                                      When doing combat you move the Units from the Box back to the board, i usually put them where the Token is and then move from there so it's easier to see the correct movement range was used.
                                      And move the Token back to the Box.

                                      Be sure to use the Active Commisar 3 for combat. Leave the inactive Commisar in the Box.

                                      Also, Importantly, you MUST move any defending units from their Box to the TTy being attacked before you move any attacking units into the TTy. Otherwise while the defending units will show up on the map, they will not take place in the battle.

                                      Changing the Political Relationship is quite rare and usually you will just hit the edit move button and move them.

                                      Important
                                      If a Army/Corps take casualties that would make it inactive or disbanded, you Must take the Commisar as casualty first or he will keep giving his bonus when he shouldn't.

                                      After battle you can switch the Commisar back in for one of the other units that were in the Corps, provided they survived of course ๐Ÿ™‚

                                      Also, you don't have to use the tokens. You can simply leave the guys on the map. You would just move the Commisar for the Active one in that case.

                                      It's usually pretty easy to remember what is in the Corps, unlike Army Groups which can get a little confusing. If I expect to engage in battle soon, I will just leave the Units on the board.

                                      Usually I use them because I think it looks cool ๐Ÿ™‚

                                        @beelee This was GREAT - Thanks. But I have one question. Russia, in my case with @Trout bought a commissar on turn 1 and just now on Turn 2...

                                        Why are you referring to some "Commissar 3". where is he?

                                          Hi Cat

                                          Yea so the Commisar you buy

                                          Soviet_Commisar.png

                                          is different as he gives no bonus points. He is a single unit. A2 D3

                                          where as Commisar 3

                                          Soviet_Commisar_3.png

                                          will give a plus 1 bonus roll to a Tank and a plus 1 bonus roll to himself.

                                          Yes the 3 is backwards because I'm not good at graphics. This is Ebbe's image and I switched it to face germany. Thanks again Ebbe ๐Ÿ™‚

                                            @beelee sorry I still donโ€™t get it. Where is commissar 3? How much does he cost? How do I get him? Do I have to purchase commissars 1 and 2 but when I get to the third one , that one has better magical Powers ?
