"Magellans"

[GeneralHandGrenade]

Ah, they’re totally healthy to watch them. I recovered from having my kidney with a 10 lb cancerous tumour removed by watching YG videos. It’s like little plastic soldier porn for the general in all of us.

[NotEvenJail]

Indeed, GHG

If there is a G1 SeaLion build Russia can fly it’s fighter to Yunnan to defend turn 1 and possibly to Java on turn 2 to defend with hypothetical ANZAC planes/men sitting there. At that point our pilot has true Magellan potential lol

[WILD BILL]

Couple games I’ve played the AI on trip A I’ve loaded up the French inf from London and Egypt onto UK/US transports and brought them to Europe so they could liberate Paris.

@NotEvenJail:

I’d be lying if I haven’t watched an unhealthy amount of GHG and YG videos by the way.

I dunno, it seems like some sort of evil plot for Canada to take-over the entire Axis and Allies community… I think they’re still upset about Dieppe and trying to get revenge or something.

[GeneralHandGrenade]

We’re insidious. We lure you in with our soothing voices and sick ability to play with little plastic army men on the internet. Then we break your now defenceless hearts by leaving you for a sweet talking woman with a tricked out Trivial Pursuit board that yields more questions than answers. I can’t speak for YG, but I can hardly look at myself in the mirror.

[Imperious Leader]

Canada? Is that on the map too? I can remedy that.

[GeneralHandGrenade]

If you go back far enough you can rename it British North America.

Real Geography;

Minnesota AKA “Lower Canada”

Upper Peninsula Michigan AKA “Oldfoundland”

Oklahoma AKA “North Texas”

Texas AKA “North Mexico”

[GeneralHandGrenade]

Actually back when it was British North America, Quebec was known as Lower Canada. Ontario was Upper Canada because they were further up the St. Lawrence River. That was back when we were burning down your capital. Fun fact; the reason it is the “White House” is because you couldn’t afford paint after we burned down the original building so all you did was whitewash the new one. The name White House stuck after that. Due to the ominous nature of the Rhode Island Navy we would never be able to pull that off now. You could paint it pretty much whatever colour you want now and there’s nothing we could do about it.

On a more serious note, maybe the most pissed, dramatic long-range naval move I’ve seen was a bounce of the entire US Pac fleet from dispersal position in the PAC, to Hawaii to Gib via a harbor in Panama.

Now that isn’t a globe trotting movement, but in terms of force position, it’s an eye opener.

Also, one of my favorites, the German stack in pursuit of the Allies after fall of Moscow does a left turn and takes out India.

Otherwise, there are all sorts of little units that zip around the board to little consequence.  French fighter from UK in Australia?  Who cares…  8-)

Had a game one time with some early bloodshed in the Middle East that allowed an Anzac infantry to walk into Iraq or Persia. I begged my opponent to build an IC there.

[Omega1759]

Soviets taking French Indo China has happened a few times.

[Arthur Bomber Harris]

The ANZAC fleet sometimes does crazy things like head to S. America, followed by a journey to Africa, heading up to the Middle East, and then concluding the backwards-Magellan ~9 round expedition in Queensland.

Heck, I’ve seen the little ANZAC fellas penetrate deep into the USSR, as in Timguska deep.

Haha waiting for the obligatory “Totally had Japanese infantry in Iceland one time online.”

“And the game wasn’t over yet?”

Or the J8 Sea Lion!

[Kreuzfeld]

in revised edition, i quite often took retook hawaii with a US fleet. The BB on the West coast first went through the med, retook the moneyislands and then finally took back hawaii .

[DessertFox599]

Wish I had something.

[Omega1759]

French infantries liberating China! :-D

Not one of my games, but I think I’ve seen that on the forum.

[Hunter Jones]

One of the funnier things I’ve seen in a game is Japan controlling Paris along with Italy controlling London. As for Germany… It had pushed into China and had about half of it.

We didn’t know what happened, but it was funny.

A few other things I’ve seen

• Germany had Sydney
• Italy had Washington DC without Africa
• Japanese Sub by the West Indies
• US Marine unit made it to Paris by going through Russia(He walked there)
• Russian sub Circumnavigated the Globe and returned to SZ 127
