A&A 1914 of British and Russian Empires, &, U.S.A. Republic, versus,
Austro-Hungarian and German and Italain Empires.
Round One: A.H.E. half its forces to attack Russia, the
proviences are the most important, let the Russians sulk in their
capital. The other half to enter and secure and defend Italy. Also
defend its own Home Waters and coastline and Central Meditterian Sea,
and, send forces to N. Africa(but first rinforces Sardina and Sicly).
Russia goes the traditional route, of trading space to build up
its forces in Russia, and, if the Axis will not attack Moscow, force
itseld to attack maybe one or both of the invaders.
Germany sinks Candian and U.K. Home Water fleets, for very light
losses. Takes Poland, Gold Coast, &, Nigeria(also contest South
Africa).
Britian rebuilds Home Fleet, builds up forces in Africa, takes
over two Axis colonies of GE. East Africa and Somaliland.
Italy needs to help control the Central Mediterian Sea, defend
its mainland, and, reinforce its presence in N.Africa, to keep the
Allies busy(maybe try to take Egypt).
America needs to help the U.K. with mostly naval and air power.
Land forces for N. Africa, along with some air & naval power.
Round Two: AHE takes Ukraine, &, reinforces Italy and Libya.
Russia still trading space for time, Sevastopol is the only
provience outside of Moscow with heavy defense.
Germany rebuilding Navy, takes Livonia and Belarus.
British rebuilding Home Fleet, trying to reinforce Egypt.
Italy reinforces libya.
U.S. sends fighter to U.K. and transports to take out German colonies.
Round Three: AHE takes Tatarstan. Building up Navy for a push out
in Atlantic(maybe to the North Sea).
Russia takes back Tatarstan, if the AHE wants it, they will
need to take Sevatopol first.
Germany takes out U.K. Home fleet, but, landing in Scotland
fails. Karelia is taken.
British Empire takes back Nigeria and takes over German South
West Africa.
Italian Fleet is lost, but, severly mauls British fleet off
Egypt. Forces landed and from Libya enter and contest Egypt(heavy
losses both sides).
U.S.A. frees Gold Coast and takes Togoland.
Round Four: AHE takes out British fleet off Egypt and sends a
cruiser to off Spain, on the Atlantic Ocean. The Mediterrain Sea is
now an Axis lake. Also after heavy losses in land forces, takes
Egypt. Along with contesting Sevastople and Tatarstan. Forces are
getting a bit thin, if the Russians counterattack, it could be big
problem for the empire.
Russia has run out of time, half of its proviences, are
occupied, two that remain are unguarded, another two are contested,
leaving Moscow a armed camp. If they go on an all out offensive, they
might take back 3 lost proviences, and, uncontest one. Of course the
large GE. forces in Poland, might finally get to take Moscow. From
experience takeing back lost proviences, might buy some, but, not
allot of time. You sometimes lose allot of forces, to exterminate a
smaller forces. Yet there is only some much land, you can trade for
time. The solution, take back some, but, not all that has been lost.
Karelia retaken, and, uncontested Tatarstan. Sub. damages GE.
BB off Kiel.
GE. does not want to spread its forces out, retakes Karelia(so
Russians cannot put naval forces out), Finland to be ignored. Finally
brings forces from Poland, so next round an attack en mass into
Moscow. Build up fleet off Kiel to try next round to take U.K.
British Empire reinforces E. Africa, losses Home Fleet
attacking GE. Home Fleet off Kiel, but, does manage to weaken it.
Rebuilds naval and land forces for U.K. in case of any future GE.
landings, and, builds up land forces in India(in case of any future
landings by A.H. Empire).
Takes GE. colony of Kamerun.
Italy takes Sudan. U.S. sinks AHE cruiser trying to breakout
into the Atlantic, and, join the GE. fleet.
Round Five: A.H.E. frees undefended Somaliland, building
forces to invade by sea India. Takes also Sevastople & Tartastan.
Russia still hunkering down in Moscow, takes small victories,
by taking back Tatarstan and Karelia.
GE. fleet is lost, but, nearly destroys U.K. Home Fleet. Loses
air duel, but, contest Moscow(heavy losses for both sides for infantry
units). Hard for Russia to survive another round, but, even if it
did, they would never reach the borders of the Second Reich.
British Empire rebuild Home fleet, and, reinforce East Africa and India.
Italian Empire needs to reinforce the Sudan, and, build up the navy.
U.S. reinforce East Africa, and, for now controls the eastern
and central Meditterian Sea-for how long?-
Round Six: A.H.E. even if it does not take Moscow, should
weaken it, to let the Germans to finish them off. Lands reinforcments
more in Somaliland(nearly destroys Allied fleet off British East
Africa, losses whole fleet). AHE Home Fleet retakes Centeral Med. Sea
area. Retakes Tatarstan, contest Moscow, for very heavy losses(still
almost impossible that GE. does not take Moscow).
Russia hunkers down, all forces for defense.
Germany throws its last remaining forces to try to take Russia,
it fails with heavy losses in infanry(but does weaken Russia to the
point of no return). Fails again to try to land troops in Scotland.
British Empire destroys AHE transports and figher off
Somaliland(thus they will never be an invasion of India). Destroys GE.
fleet off Kiel, but, Home Fleet is lost also.
Italain Empire last fighter lost, but, takes out remaining
damaged British BB off Somaliland.
U.S. losses all forces in East Africa, but, seriously weakens
AHE forces in Somaliland(even if they still had transports, they will
never threaten India). Now controls the seas in all of the Mediterian
area(sans AHE Home Waters), lands and takes Libya, &, undefended
Egypt.
Round Seven: AHE does not have the forces to take Moscow, all
they can do is weaken the Russians, just to let the Germans have a
easy victory, on their turn. Instead they take Khzakstan, and, start
to garrison the parts of Russia they control(at this late stage of the
game, these forces will never get to Africa, or, to Italy).
The fleet is lost trying to destroy the US fleet, no
reinforcements for Africa.
Russia is just defending Moscow.
GE. takes Russia, it cost most of its Infantry(no thanks to
AHE not attacking Russia this turn). Also takes Karelai.
British Empire takes back from AHE Italain Somaliland.
Italy says on the defensive positon(the mainland section, is
will defended), and, better to lose Africa, than get invaded. Builds
new fleet.
U.S. destroys new Italian fleet and still controls the
Medieterrian Sea(sans AHE Home Water).
Round Eight: Austro-Hungarian Empire destroys U.S. fleet in
Central Med. Sea, but, lost its Home Fleet(including a transport and
fighter, thus no aid for Axis forces in Africa). Also sinks with a
fighter one of two remaining cruisers in Black Sea. No builds, no
danger from Allies, in this last round.
Russian Cruiser just stays in Black Sea, Finland is unguarded.
Germany takes undefended Finland(Russia is totally
occupied). GE. attempts to land forces in U.K., boh fleets were 3
BBs and 2 fighters, all that remains is a GE. damaged BB & 2
transports. BB shells and scores a hit, and landed 2 troopers and gun
& tank score 3 more hits(for a total of 4 hits). Defenders of London
are 4 troopers and 2 guns, which score 3 hits(reduced to two cause of
the GE. tank). London is contested.

from Italian control. Rebuilds Home Fleet & air force.
Italian Empire rebuilds Naval & Air Force.
U.S. Republic sends reinforcements to E. Africa, cruisers
take over Western Mediterrian Sea, &, fighter is lost sinking a GE.
transport off London.
Peace breaks out, moderate to major Axis Victory over the
Allies. The Axis get back all their lost African colonies, GE. keeps
a third of Poland and Finland(gives independence to the other two
thirds of those new states, and, keep bases inside them, to protext
them from Russia). AHE sets up Ukraine as a new nation, keeping a
third as a new provience for the empire(ditto for bases). Keeps
Sevastpol as a new provience (also gives Italy the Crimean Peninsula
as a war compensation). Italy gets generous big grants from Germany.
Both sides take care of their losses, Axis help Axis &
Allies help Allies. All Axis are now part owners of the Suez Canal,
except for U.S. Waters, Axis Fleets have passage through Allied Home
Waters.
Losses are very heavy, as compared to other games, of Transports,
BBs, Cruisers, Subs, and, Fighters.

96. Sea 449 & 390. Axis lost more in IPCs but, still won the war.
