Here’s a couple of close up picks. As usual the wolf packs doing there job while operation torch happens with the US Ranger AC.
In the pacific Japan is going to get Calcutta but left most islands undefended. Anzac jump on a few and US got some more islands. That’s 1 island group N O bonus for Anzac for 5 icps and US has 6 N O bonuses for 30 icps. Plus Japan has oil damage on Sumatra that is 5 dam towards income and lost 3 money islands with oil. They are only making 47 icps. While US is at 107. Japan can never afford to not defend there oil supply plus there’s bonus victory points for axis there.
Also his planes are out of position to hit US fleet based on he needs them to help take Calcutta. But that’s the idea in game is to force Japan to use there planes in more than 1 spot.
He’ll probably run ground for Calcutta and has to regroup naval in a bigger fleet. Will see.Anyway the map sea zone changes are starting to look like there going to work out good.

You mean now and not 1941 ? LOL buddy be pretty old.

Even if he was on the latest USS Ranger, he’s no spring chicken: USS Ranger CV-61 decommissioned in '93. Assuming he had the job in '93 and was 30 at the time, that would make him 57 today.
If he was on the WW2 USS Ranger, he’s old enough to be dead: USS Ranger CV-4 decommissioned in '46. We’ll say that (almost) everybody in the Navy was young, so let’s use 25 as his age. If he was 25 in '46, that would make him 99 years young.

Heh heh yea tried to make two posts in one. Was commenting on all the dudes in Hawaii on the Generals map.
My buddy is in his early 60’s. I think he said Ranger was the last WWII carrier active when he was on it. Probably late 70s early 80s -

Got a few turns in. Ger gonna attack Moscow. Will see if they hold. If not will see if they can take back.
Will post a few pics of map. Russia has to decide now if they wanna move the Moscow IC and only be worth 1. But then if Ger don’t attack next turn Russia can’t build units in Moscow but can at 3 other factories they were moving each turn. Will see if we have Russia finally able to retake Moscow or not. -

Here’s a couple of close ups of map and game
German stack off to right on a task card which is not in pick. Don’t look good for Moscow.
Poor Koba ! -

After some more game play and this is based on Italians advancement into Russia.
History wise the Italians stayed south and never went into Moscow, Granted there were Italians in Moscow but weren’t on Italy’s side.
They were helping in push to Stalingrad but got pushed out and most went back to Italy after March of 43. SO to keep Italian can openers in game they are restricted to Russian territories marked by a dash border line. They can go into Turkey, Middle East oil fields and Syria territories as normal.
Plus Italy’s tanks were weak so now in game Italy and Japan tanks C6 AD@4 M2.

Here is some pics of turns 5-6. Allies took Paris and Germany has Moscow and Russians holding onto to Stalingrad. So looks like Russia has some power in game still. Samara is the new Capital. The issue here was Italy going into Russia and being a can opener for Russia to take Tambov and Germany could blitz to Stalingrad on there turn.
So the above pic is the fix based on history of Italy in Russia. Its a happy medium fix.
Some may allow Italy to go as far as they want based on game play fantasy which is there choice.
US on Pacific side could of taken 3 victory city’s when there fleet was in Java on turn 5 but Japan moved towards US so US fleet moved back on there turn 6. Besides if US would of went into the 3 city’s they would of lost there fleet if they moved it up to Asian coast. Maybe the move would of been US just move transports and capture city’s. But then what if japan went back to Island hopping for the extra cash ?
But Japan could just take back those 3 victory city’s next turn or two.
First time in game where US got this close to Asia but would of been a to soon landing based on turn time. But most games Japan is more down by Dutch Islands protecting there oil supply so that can just be a push.
Made a few more changes to setup for US. Seems US is lacking ground units on Pacific side with all those transports. Also added a IC to Hawaii based on there huge Production after Pearl Harbor attack. Granted most stuff had to be shipped to Hawaii but with GDP and production the Hawaiian IC represents supply’s shipped from based on time frame between turns.The new map is ready for printing now so next game we will be using. Will finish up this game on lighter map next week to see if Axis can hold on to a win.
They had 33 victory points in game but lost Paris and Japans oil which dropped them 5 points. Anytime Moscow falls the allies need to be taking Paris back. No ifs or buts about that. Allies don’t take back Paris on turn 5 then Axis would have won game with 30 points at end of turn 5.Also the AA Gun being able to D@4 on all round of combat awesome in game now.
This is after they get there D@2 plane shots before combat starts. WE had more Tac and Dive bombers trying to take out AA Guns on singled out attacks before combat. IF Tac’s or Dive Bombers singled out a attack on a AA Gun, then they had to skip first round of combat and they can’t use there @1 Dog Fight bonus plane kill until 2nd round of combat. They would lose there @6 pick shot. Tac’s and Dives can only hit at a 3 on singled out attacks on AA Guns and Surfaced Subs only. Other wise to strong.
Like Russia had 5 AA Guns in Moscow when Attacked but Germany only had 4 Tac bombers. So didn’t single out AA Guns. Better to use the @6 pick shot against KV tanks on first round only pick. Then Tac and Dive Bombers @4 rest of rounds with no pick shot based on they used there Bomb or Torpedo on first round attack.
