Is it possible for this game to be set it up so that every country could fight on it’s on; with one country destroying everyone else as the only victory condition? Say, combine Italy and France (with Spain and Portugal?) and let them go first? Britain goes 2nd? And perhaps add about 1 guy to every Chinese territory? What would the outcome of THAT game look like?

@barnee went ahead and played out early 43. Allies have the upper hand. Probably should translate to victory but Russia needs to honor the Japanese threat and pull some troops away from Germany. Rommel may or may not go off in Africa.
USA and ANZAC putting some big pressure on the IJN. Italy hasn’t been able to reinforce Eastern front but looking fairly strong otherwise and still has it’s Navy and it’s Paras continue to stay on the Offensive.
Japan, whether they want to or not, and they don’t, have to attack russia.
Idk, it’s 199 to 178 Allies in IPC. Could change quickly though and in Allies favor.
Anyway, I’ll try a similar strategy with the Para fix. Still think it’s better for an earlier JPN attack. Could just be my playstyle though, as I’m really an intermediate player at best lol

As soon as I get my pc system installed - and TripleA downloaded, we can take a test game together.
Both the G40 and G43.
This might give us a better overview of bugs etc.
-
Really? I thought you were an expert given the many games you played and the amount of effort time put into these online versions.
Please let the Axis win!

Sweet ! 2 sets of eyes is 3 times better than 1 lol

Raeder got a nice Fleet going
Needs a Destroyer
Maybe go big with the Bismark. Idk. Probably better to get Infantry to send against those commie russian bastards
-
Nice! I totally agree with your suggestions!

Some of the game results from the Axis & Allies Northern Europe Wiking-Con event will be posted here in the Game Report Thread.
The first one is here:
Global 1940, No. 3 Game Report:
This Global 1940 Game Report includes the complete Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
Players:
Axis: Cornelis Post
Allies: The CaptainEarly 1940 - Early 1943:
Germany builds up massive Panzer forces - and increases the U-boat production for the Battle of The Atlantic.
The attack on the Soviet Union is launched in Late 1941.Japan attacks Philippines in Late 1940 - triggering a State Of War between all Nations - except Soviet Union.
The Allies are producing at full capacity, trying to slow down the Axis advance into Asia, the Pacific, Africa and Russia.
Late 1943:
The German advance into the Soviet Union is halted by heavily defended Soviet lines.
Germany takes over Italy.The Japanese advance into China is halted - Japan has spend most of it’s forces in the Pacific - fighting against increasing Allied forces.
India & China is fighting deep into Chinese territory - trying to push back the Japanese forces.
Early 1944 - Early 1945:
The German Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, Luftwaffe & Kriegsmarine are all on the defensive.The Soviet Union is on the offensive - using Paratrooper unkits to attack deep into the German Hinterland - and thereby increasing the Soviet economy on a massive scale.
Soviet Tank production reaches it’s peak in Late 1944 - more than 75 Soviet Tank units are fighting on the German Eastern Front - building up for the last offensive on the German Reichshauptstadt Berlin.
Japan is being pushed back in China - and the Japanese defense in the Pacific has simply collapsed under the pressure from US & ANZAC units.
The Final Allied Victory is a fact in Early 1945.
With an IPC income level at 207 IPC, The Allies have won an Economic Victory.
Pictures from the start of Early 1945:

Once again, The Captain wins!
I knew attacking earlier as the Axis was a bad idea! At least all of Germany’s armies are still intact-not having all of them would be a disaster.
-
Heh heh pretty fun one going. Every time I think it’s game over, just play it out, look for triplea errors, the down team seems to rally lol
Granted this is only game 18 and i play against myself ( who isn’t a top player lol ) but it sure has some twists and turns. I’ve noticed this in the majority of games that went the distance.
Here in Early 43 JPN russia in a bad way.
By Late 44, even though the Wehrmacht forced a retreat to moscow, JPN Army has been pushed back on multiple fronts.
Anyway, we’ll see what happens, got 1 bug to fix ( PG Tac doesn’t get support by FTR ) but Should be done in a couple more days. Kriegsmarine went big with Carrier
So that probably slowed attack on the commies a bit. Patton did battle and he and Rommel both got slayed. Brits can reinforce russia now.
It seems a little weird, but I assume it’s correct, 2 INF from S AFR can RR to Yakut as long as there’s no interruption ?
Anyway, having fun
-
@the-captain In the Philippines photo above, there’s 1 blue plane, assume Naval FTR, a buncha silver ones, regular Ftrs, as some are on land and a P-38. Is that right ? If so, what’s the Pursuit 38 doing ? Yamamoto kill mission ? lol
-
Great game,
Yes - UK can send 2 Land Based units from South Africa into any territory in Asia, as long as there is a unbroken line of adjacent friendly territories from where the Land Based units begin and end their move.
-
@the-captain awesome. Russians and Englishman are best buddies now lol
-
We mostly see UK Tank units use Strategic Rail Movement into Soviet territories - as part of Lend-Lease.
When Germany or Italy attack the Soviet Union, UK has the option to send Lend-Lease Tank units by rail - in case that the United States are not ready to do so in time.
-
@the-captain sweet ! I hadn’t figured that one out yet : ) Right :muscle:
gonna be a big air battle coming up. Been some small ones but no ftr defense. Germany got 3 Bmbrs 3 FTRs and 2 Tacs, Soviets got 3 FTRs and a USA and UK FTR flying in. They’re down to 27 bucks, so I’m gonna roll those 5 4s and see what happens. Got a few Ftrs in the pipeline.
Actually, i just wanna do it. Be the first air battle : )
-
For that last question, yes. What does “PH tac” mean? Thank you! I feel so sad for the Japanese. The Soviets should sent all units to Belarus, that’ll be one exciting battle.
-
Did Churchill get replaced, or did he have a massive change of heart?
-
Only air units (hopefully) in a conventional battle? Exciting!
-
I’m unsure what you are referring to.
-
@barnee
Last time I saw an Air Battle, was in Global 1943, when Western Germany defended with 5 Me 262 Jetfighter units against 3 US Strategic Bombers and 6 US Fighters.The only surviving unit was 1 US Strategic Bomber - that made a Damage Hit at “1”.
Since then, all Allied Strategic Bombing Campaigns have stopped - unless there has been a unprotected Industrial Complex in range.

Epic!
