The Allies won. Was a great game. Axis was on the brink to win each turn. With Axis at there peak strength at the time when game starts its balls out. Got 6 turns in.
Germany got Moscow and Stalingrad and was able to hold Paris but Russia was able to take back Stalingrad from there Ural builds and Tankograd IC to help with allies victory.
What hurt Germany most in game was he lost his fleet but main part was he lost a lot of his planes. But still was able to get Moscow with a good can opener Italians down through there southern route where they can only go through but forced Russia to put out 8 inf blockers in 2 territories around Moscow to delay the Germans a turn on a attack on Moscow if the Italians did try to take a territory in front or south of Moscow. SO now your looking at like 8-12 extra Inf that could of stayed in Moscow to defend on the main attack. Great moves there by axis.
The allies did have a decent D-day landing going on but was just a bit short on liberating Paris. But was able to run around north to West Germany for attacks and also took Oslo away to deny a 1 victory point from axis which helped too.
The allies did attack West Germany and Italians recaptured it back but the IC was destroyed in the 2 battles.
On the Pacific side US ended up grabbing all the 3 Island group NO’s to build there income up and did attack the huge Japan fleet and defeated them. Japans income went way down based on they also lost the oil money islands and had no navy left.
UK navy left the Italians alone in Med and they were able to get the 3 3 island group NO’s plus all Med Island bonus point. But the UK Med fleet did help when it went to India and now its back in the Med. Couple transport buys would of taken away some of the 3 island group NO’s for Italy and also axis would of lost the 1 point all Med island Victory point in the next turn for UK.
Its nice to see in the game a Strong Italy. This game they can be strong based on with the right leadership and besides in other games nobody wants to play Italy or Russia but as you see only Game I know of where Russia can also still fight after losing Moscow. Nobody really knows what would of happened if Moscow fell in real war. But some may disagree but where here not to discuss that.
The 2 move Cruiser worked out great so we keep that. A CCP setup change and a build tweak is all that’s gonna get changed.
Here’s the charts after turn 6. Each country rolls for 2 National Advantages at start of game and uses for the whole game. Was only 4 techs this game and no spy’s stole any.
The 2 tech chart was great. At least you get to choose one or the other.
Thank You again for the General’s Fortress players ( ghr2, Carl, AA Mark, Justin, Duds, Chu ) and myself for showing up again !!!
Edit : The Germans control Leningrad so roundel is wrong on chart, but still have only 27 points. Axis needs 30 points at end of any turn for a victory.
