@FranceNeedsMorePower France only needs a infantry in Normandy.

@the-captain yea i’ve 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 hasn’t 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 I’ll 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 …
Not so much
lol
Fortunately Uncle Sam brought some Advisers with when the Lend Lease Tanks were delivered. They’ve 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 “Always be Aggressive”. 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:

…Oops… -
@barnee
You might want to check the US Strategy Guide again…: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 :)
-
What’s wrong? I used the battle calculator and Japan doesn’t 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
-
I guess that The Kriegsmarine will now have to save The Reich…
-
Is that an Italian paratrooper in Greece I see? Thank you!
How’s things in the Pacific going? I really hope that the Axis will win.

heh heh Adolf keeping the escape sub to S America handy lol
-
@superbattleshipyamato yea 1 in Greece 2 in S Italy. Want to hit Syria again, but might need to reinforce Romania.
Japan doing well. Still leading the Naval arms race. I’m not sure if I’m being to passive with UK but have to honor the threat by sea. They’re close to expanded offensive operations. Egypt sucking up the S Africa resources.
-
The new Transport rules still jack with me. I keep adding an Inf. lol Slowly coming around. It makes a Big difference : )
-
Wow DNG pretty brutal for ANZAC. Down to 8 bucks. 9 PU swing . Nimitz and MacArthur need to get with the program and help them out.
-
The Solomons are even worse-they let Japan deny ANZAC both of their national objectives at once, the only territory to do that. Also, the new transport rules do make a big difference, but I would still like to have an infantry in each transport (unless it’s for improvised situations, and no infantry units are available), to absorb hits less painfully (note I haven’t played a game with these new rules, so my thinking might be wrong).
Great photos Barnee!
-
@superbattleshipyamato heh heh yea but Solomons are in range of Allied counter attacks so DNG is a safer play. But yes you are correct
-
After suffering heavy losses attacking through the Western Ukraine minefield, the dubious Waffen counterattack was halted in it’s tracks. The minor victory in Belarus was soured by the Wehrmacht’s failure to reoccupy Normandy.
The Fuhrer has released his personal U-boat to defense of the Reich and now is cleaning his Luger
-
The Eastern Front has Crumbled. There is talk of a Coup in Wehrmacht High Command
