I haven’t played Axis & Allies Revised in a very long time (once we switched to A&A Global 1940 that was pretty much it.) That said, I have an upcoming game to play. I just perused the A&A Revised Rule Book quickly and noted the following items. Consider it a very quick summary of some of the key rules.

Understanding the Real Political Situation in Global 1940 Axis & Allies
October 1989, the BBC aired for the first time a mini series *The Road To War* documented on BBC 2 narrated by Charles Wheeler.

You’re playing Axis & Allies Global 1940 and need to look up the rules on your phone. That PDF is nasty to dig through on a phone, right? Below find a copy/paste of *most* of the rules necessary to play Global 1940 with Second Edition rules. Some of the more basic items have been left out. It’s more useful for those who have played the game many times but still need to look up a rule here and there. For the full rules consult our Axis & Allies Rule Books page.
Convoy Rule in Axis & Allies 1940: Calculating Damage
The Convoy rule in Axis & Allies 1940 (Europe, Pacific, Global) isn’t the most easily written rule in the rule book. Below is a summarized version.

I just did a quick bit of ‘googling’ to find the answer to this:
