Global 1940 & 1943 Expansions Game Reports


  • @the-captain Awesome game ! Thought Allies toast after India fall but yea a lot going on still.

    Kinda brutal ivan lost urals. I always liked the free tank. That and mass produce is 4 a turn. Well not now :)


  • @the-captain Very exciting. I am eager for the end result :)


  • @barnee
    Japan made an attack against Urals at the end of Late 1945 - eliminating 7 Soviet Tank units.

    This attack put an end to the Soviet Free Tank unit.

    The Soviets have no option at this point to re-capture - and hold on to - Urals.


  • @the-captain whoa ! They dusted 7 Tanks ! That must have been a Powerful JPN Force.

    Thanks for the update. I find these reports very helpful in what others do :)

    Global 1943, No. 6 Game Report: Round Late 1946:

    This is the 5th post in the Global 1943 No. 6 Game Report.

    Players:
    Axis: The Captain
    Allies: Butch Cassidy

    The following pictures show the German Purchase, Combat Movement, Non-Combat Movement - and Place New Units in Late 1946.

    Note that Germany has once again created Army Group South.

    By now, Germany has 3 complete Army Groups:

    • Army Group North on the Eastern Front
    • Army Group South in Germany
    • Army Group Centre in Western Germany

    All three German Army Groups are massively supported Infantry units, Panzer units and Luftwaffe units.

    Germany is now organizing a new Strategic Plan for the defense of Western Front - and a massive counter attack deep into Western & Southern Europe.

    We are now waiting for the Soviets to complete their turn.

    And then Japan will reveal a new Strategy for the coming battles in Asia and the Pacific.

    German Purchase:

    More will follow soon…


  • @the-captain

    That’s a whole lot of tanks in Army Group North.

  • 2024 2023 '22 '21

    Tomorrow from 09.15 CET the Global 1943 No. 6 Game will be finished.

    The Allies (Butch Cassidy) are preparing their final Strategic Plan - it will begin with Russia’s turn in Late 1946.

    The Germans are at the Gates of Moscow.

    The Allies have liberated most of Western Europe.

    Japan dominates Asia and most of the Pacific.

    The game is extremely well balanced - and the outcome is unpredictable.

    The Game Report will be attached to this thread asap.


  • @the-captain

    Exciting!

    Global 1943, No. 6 Game Report: Round Late 1947 and Late 1948:

    This is the 6th and last post in the Global 1943 No. 6 Game Report.

    Players:
    Axis: The Captain
    Allies: Butch Cassidy

    The following pictures show the situation in Late 1947 and Late 1948:
    The quality of some pictures are not satisfactory - sorry for that.

    Late 1947 - Germany attacks Moscow:
    IMG_6704.JPG

    Result of Operation Typhoon:
    IMG_6705.JPG

    Game is over with the fall of Moscow, since the Allies have no options left to re-capture Moscow before the end of this round.

    We agreed to continue the game for two more rounds, since the US had built up a large attack force in France.

    USA attacks Berlin in Late 1948:
    IMG_6711.JPG

    Result of The Battle of Berlin:
    IMG_6712.JPG

    After more than 10 rounds of impressively balanced game, the War finally ends with an overwhelming victory for the Axis.

    This game clearly shows that the Global 1943 Expansion is truly one of the most balanced Axis & Allies games available.


  • @the-captain said in Global 1940 & 1943 Expansions Game Reports:

    Absolutely. Great Game !

    Yes I find more and more options the more i play. Did i say more ? lol How many of the 25 members will play in the next tournament ?

    Hopefully all :) , but that is unlikely :) New members are needed :)


  • @the-captain

    Finally! The Axis won!

    Still undefeated, Captain. Still undefeated. I have much respect for you.

    Global 1943, No. 7 Game Report: Round Late 1944

    This is the only post in the Global 1943 No. 7 Game Report.

    Players:
    Axis: Dark Knight
    Allies: The Captain

    In Early 1943 Germany attacked Caucasus - and formed Army Group South during Non-Combat Movement.

    A Soviet counter-attack eliminated Army Group South and pushed the Eastern Front further West.

    In the Atlantic & European sphere the Allies gradually got a foothold in Europe and cleared the Atlantic from German U-Boat units.

    In Asia and the Pacific, Japan attacked Chinese units on a massive scale and reinforced the Navy.

    By Late 1943 and Early 1944 the German defense on the Eastern Front began to collapse under the pressure from massive Soviet attacks.

    German Army Group Centre was trying to hold the line in Eastern Poland to prevent a total collapse of the Eastern Front.

    But with US forces capturing Italy, Balkans and South Eastern Europe, the German situation became severely unstable.

    In the Pacific rapid Allied offensive operations captured most islands - and UK forces from India counter-attacked deep into Chinese territories.

    In a desperate attempt to reverse the situation, Japan attacked in the Soviet Far East - but stiff Soviet resistance effectively halted the Japanese offensive, bringing an end to further Japanese expansion.

    The following pictures show the situation in Late 1944:
    IMG_6718.JPG IMG_6719.JPG IMG_6720.JPGIMG_6721.JPG IMG_6722.JPG IMG_6723.JPG IMG_6724.JPG

    With a combined Allied IPC Level of more than 200 IPC, the War ended with an Allied Economic Victory at the end of Late 1944.


  • @the-captain

    Nooooo!

    I still can’t believe how good you are with these rules.

    When was the last time you lost a game?

  • 2024 2023 '22 '21

    Concerning the planning of Global 1943 Strategy - and how to win the Global 1943 game, players should take the following into account:

    • Study the Global 1943 SetUp carefully by setting up your game with all game pieces
    • “Play” the Global 1943 game with your self for at least 2 rounds - and repeat this “Playing The Game” sequence a couple of times until you feel comfortable with troop movements etc.
      This will give you a picture of how you must re-organize your troop positions
    • Plan a Global 1943 Strategy according to your experience with those play tests that you perform with yourself.
    • Play test your Global 1943 Strategy with another Axis & Allies player - and adjust your strategy based on the game results.

    Remember:
    Whether you win or lose the game does not depend on how well you know the rules.
    It is simply a matter of how well you can “read” the game as the game progresses - and react accordingly to the situation as the game progresses.

    Our experience shows that even a new player can defeat an experienced player - simply by reacting correctly to the situation during the game.

    You must be able to know when to purchase Paratrooper units - and when to mass produce Infantry, Panzer, Air units etc.

    The best advice we can give is to carefully study the multiple Game Reports on this thread - and use those Game Reports as inspiration for your strategy.

    Still can’t get over that very nice map and those new units. Those shapes look so much more accurate and neat.

    Looks exciting! Sure hope the Axis win. The look like they’re doing well.


  • @barnee

    Nice. I really dig that lighter American green colour.
