Great Thank you

Made it to Rd 6 for First Time !!! :)
No Bugs just Note Clarification. I like all the new dudes showing up. Germany in Big Trouble. Oh well lol
JPN doing pretty good. USA still sending a lot of resources that way.
Think China theater needs a boost of some sort. There still alive but would be nice if itâs not a given they get overrun.
Maybe an AAgun and extra Inf at start ? Idk You still have to DOW on Russia but china being completely conquered seems as if it should be harder
Anyway Good Action !!! Totally Digging this Big Time !!! LOL
-
If China should be harder to conquer (to be more historically accurate), then Operation Sealion should not even be allowed. Too bad Germany and Japan are losing, as I always root for them in the game.
-
Part of the United Kingdom Strategy is that India is fighting the Japanese troops in southern China - this will slow down the annihilation of Chinese units.
It is most unlikely that a total collapse of Chinese forces can be avoided, if Japan goes all in in China.
Japan should avoid conflict with the USSR for as long as possible - in order to achieve itâs NO in the Pacific and China.
When (if) USSR and Japan are at War with each other, Soviet units can enter China - and help a renewed Chinese buildup of forces.
During several games, weâve seen Soviet Army Corps in China - fighting alongside Chinese units - against massive Japanese attacks - while UK units from India outflank Japanese units in southern China - and US Naval Task Forces push forward through the Pacific.
It all depends on your Strategy. In other words: China doesnât need any boost - simply because Chinaâs allies have multiple options to help China.
Youâll see - after your first 40-50 games - just as we did:relaxed:
-
Agree. We call it âOperation Quadâ
-
How many days does it take to play one game? It usually takes one week for me when Iâm not busy, and up to a month when Iâm busy. Thank you!
In my games, usually if the UK or the Soviet Union put their maximum effort in China, the Japanese usually lose the war of attrition, but that usually doesnât matter as it weakens the Allies enough in Europe for Germany and Italy to win.
-
@the-captain heh heh yea. I jacked Germany up so much I decided Japan needed to jump in. Thatâs when i found the bug.
India pretty heavily defended. Iâve been dropping the full 20 a turn there. They canât really do much except some small trades with Burma. If they move in force theyâll get flanked from the sea, which seems same as oob.
London a little light. If Germany put up more of a SL threat, it would definitely affect India and N Africa.
Yea that could be a double edged sword for JPN attacking Russia, as it allows them to support China then.
At any rate, I got to fix Mongolia and then on to 43, so no more test games for a while :(

Remember:
UK should clear Africa from Axis troops - and transport 2 land combat units from Union of South Africa to India each turn by Strategic Rail Movement.That would bring the total amount of UK units fighting from India up to at least 8 units each turn (example: 1 Tank + 5 Infantry in India - and 2 Tank units from Union of South Africa).
That should keep the Japanese frontline units busy.

Ok. But what are the Italians doing to Egypt?
No pressure there then UK can send every turn
Shouldnât be that way -
@general-5-stars
Yea - naturally it depends on which Year & Season weâre in - Late 1942, Early 1943 etc⌠and the overall strategies.
Anyway, the UK strategy should prepare for the transfer of units from Africa to India. The supply lines must be kept open.
This will also be part of the United Kingdom Strategy Guide which will be released in Late November or Early December - this year:relaxed:
-
Cool. Sounds good. đ
-
@the-captain yea iâve just been sending them to Egypt. Germany went big with Rommel and Italy sent all their Paras too. Good idea though on sending them to India.
Things should stabilize soon and Japan still hasnât concentrated enough for an attack.
Back to the pesky Mongolians lol
-
@barnee
Did you use the Japanese Strategy Guide? -
@the-captain not really, some of it i guess. I just kinda been rolling with my base strategy from oob for these test games. I try to do a few things different each time for testing purposes.
Once I get through an entire game Iâll start mixing it up a bit more
-
Some shots from test Game 11
A prematurely formed Army Group South is destroyed by the Red Army in Ukraine with fewer losses than expected.
Confidence was High. Now âŚ
Not so much
lol
Fortunately Uncle Sam brought some Advisers with when the Lend Lease Tanks were delivered. Theyâve got the OK from Uncle Joe to go Hot and start offensive operations on Soviet soil
-
Admiral "Bull"Halsey is in command of the Naval Task Force in the Northern Pacific. He epitomizes US Naval Doctrine of âAlways be Aggressiveâ. A clash with the Imperial Japanese Navy is inevitable.
Unfortunately for Halsey and the Sailors that serve under him, he has put them , and himself, in a questionable tactical situation.
:grin:
-
@barnee
âŚOops⌠-
@barnee
You might want to check the US Strategy Guide againâŚ:blush: -
@the-captain yea i figured a 50/50 battle but i spaced the new ships showing up. That and my trprts not taking any hits doomed them.
Anyway test game 12 underway :)
-
Whatâs wrong? I used the battle calculator and Japan doesnât have a high chance of sinking the US fleet with the naval units shown.
-
The Fuhrer has ordered the execution of the Head of the OKW after the destruction of Army Group Centre in Western Ukraine. The Luftwaffe suffered heavy losses as well. The Italian Expeditionary Force was also destroyed.
2nd, 3rd and 4th Waffen Armies now comprise the bulk of the forces in Operation Barbarossa. Due to mass soviet conscription, the offensive has slowed to a crawl.
Guderian is pleading for Panzer Armies to be formed. The Fuhrer is inclined to listen.
lol
