Name: Global 1940 House Rules with Canada
Description: Just like the name says
https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/Global_1940_House_Rules_with_Canada

Good Points

Canada!

Bad Points

Some glitches, for example you can build 10 at a minor factory

Note: I would prefer house rules people to choose a set of rules they like and make a mod, rather than having a huge number of options.

@christian-dutrow yea this one pops up a lot. I think the workaround is as the Dog says here

https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/10914

Try a new 2.6 prerelease or go to your DL maps folder and open the zip and rename that folder without the -master at the end. Leave that folder in DL maps and make sure the zip is no longer there

oops see this already answered. Musta missed a page lol

@rogercooper what map version were you using ? I can't recreate the Minors overproducing with the latest "2.72"

I am not sure how to find out version number of the map. The map I have is the latest from the repository.

There may be some confusion between "Global 1940 House Rules" and " Global 40 House Rules.

As much as I love hoarding scenarios, maybe one of those mods should be deprecated.

Name G40 Alt Universe
Description Rules and countries of the Global Game on a completely fictional map
https://axisandallies.fandom.com/wiki/G40_Alt_Universe

Good Points

Not just another WW2 map

Bad Points

This game is simply confusing. It is hardly the only map using a fictional setting, but those other maps are far more comprehensible. There is little description of the setting and the territory names are colorless. Using the names of real countries makes it worse. Britain and France seem randomly scattered over the world.

@rogercooper yes I appreciate simon doing the original one because my machine fried and I lost all my work. I also appreciate he added Canada as well. I asked him to delete it since "Global 40 House Rules" has everything that "1940" does.

Christian Dutrow

@rogercooper Perfect thank you for the assist!!

Congratulations on the new arrival. NWO Andrews plays like WW1, with stalemate in the west, and the Germans advancing against the poorly-prepared Russians in the east.

@rogercooper it should be hard for germany to attack Fr and Russia simultaneously, and hard for Russia to attack Germany early in the game. I'm working on something with negative NOs for Russia and US, to keep them out of the early game.

You could simply delay their declaration of war or restrict their movement early in the game. Negative NO's are ignored by the AI.
