Listened to audiobook on Thucydides’ History of Peloponnesian War. Has anyone played board game titled Hellenes: Campaigns of the Peloponnesian War? Would make a great multiplayer game. A&A has WWI, Napoleon, Punic 270 BC, variants, but not Peloponnesian Wars (Athens vs Sparta). Would be interested in working together with anyone willing to develop a Greek city state variant for this website.
World War II in Europe turn by turn

Yes. I have tried playing without bothering with convoys, but Britain only makes $35 without them from a total of $60. And I still need them to supply armies. So no matter what, I have to invest in transports.
It may be a case of 6 of one, half a dozen of the other, but if I don’t buy transports, then Germany doesn’t buy subs and spends it on land units. And if Germany doesn’t buy subs to go after my convoys, then I am making an unmolested $60 or more a turn, and NOT replacing lost transports.

HBG I don’t think has the revised rules.

@jim010 yes pm me. don’t put your email on the internet

Well, I lost what I had in North Africa due to being unsupplied. So much for that. But I have pushed Italy back from Kuwait. And I don’t think he’s going to reinforce.
Germany went around Stalingrad, but pretty sure he will hit next turn. He’s also poised to hit Leningrad next turn as well. But I am now in northern France quite solidly with air superiority. I think next turn will be his peak. He’s not buying anymore subs, so I have that to look forward to.

OK so the map has three fronts where you exercise either :offensive, Attrition, or pass combat options. I suspect you have SR during NCM? and UK losing the Suez must cost them alot of income…I wish those Italian units moved to France to help the Germans before it became impossible to dislodge them.:confused:
-
Germany has just finsihed his move. He has taken Stalingrad. I’m barely holding on, but …
I go next with the Allies. I know no one here knows the rules, but supply is evrything. Your ground units MUST be in supply by the end of your turn. If not, the units surrender are are removed.
… that being said, does anyone else see what I see? I’m about to win I think!

You looking at the revised rules I sent you? No SR, attrition, or offensive actions in the rules. Although I remember rules like that from Rise and Decline of the Third Reich.
As for Italy, they are not allowed to enter the war until spring 1940.

My how things can turn when you are not paying attention! I cut off all of the Germans in the South of Russia, and took Stalingrad back. This is huge, as he cannot resupply them. They will surrender at the end of his next turn.
I now have half of France, and he’s pulled back into Germany. Looks really bad. It is the end of fall 1943. Next turn is winter 1944.
-
After talking about it, my opponent is surrendering. Losing everything he had (except for the planes) in the south is not something he can recover from. Russia will not fall now, and he no longer has Paris. Normally we would keep playing, because to win the war I need to have Berlin and Rome by the end of fall 1945, otherwise a minor victory is awarded to the side that has the most flags.
But it is only now winter 1943, so it looks like I will most certainly win the war as I have lots of time. Even if I hadn’t cut him off in the south, he wasn’t going to win. Was fun, though, and I hope you all enjoyed seeing the war unfold.
Next we’ll do Pacific.

@jim010
yea was lots of fun ! Thank You ! I guess the 6th Army got destroyed again : ) -
Lol. This was way bigger than just the 6th army! Thing is, if he was paying attention, he could have prevented me from cutting him off. All he needed to do was reinforce just one of the spaces I had to attack, and that would have done it.
Regardless, he wasn’t winning anyway.
