The Klou and I are back in FLA and looking to play some G40.

This time we are willing to play either side.

TripleA Lobby – once again kudos to these people. Many fun hours spent there.
Marathon session – we’re on vacation and we want to play until there is a clear resolution.

Very good points ItIsILeClerc, although I don’t think its wise to ever do a Sealion and a J1-DOW. The plan above which I stated is very situational would be very risky with a J1-DOW.

@ronrye:

Was I just playing against someone who wasn’t very good at playing Germany?

Perhaps, but not necessarily. You might have been a little extra good at playing Russia. Maybe the dice were a little lucky for you or unlucky for Germany. I remember a game where Germany went into Russia with four huge thrusts – Finland into Karelia, Poland into Baltic States, Slovakia/Hungary into E. Poland and Romania into Bessarabia. All four armies smashed the Russian early defenses with a lot of stuff left. Then strong Russian counter-attacks end up decimating half the German force. After that it was very slow going for the Germans. The Russians managed to keep putting up strong defenses and whenever a particular German army was whittled down enough, a Russian counter-attack would wipe it out and the German drive was set back again. I think the Minor IC in the Ukraine was exchanged between Russia and Germany about 4 or 5 times.
So your German player wasn’t necessarily bad, maybe just inexperienced. Perhaps he learned his lesson and will take Moscow from you next time. He seemed to do pretty good at taking London.

@Robson:

@AllyAxis:

Was thinking about this strategy for Alpha 2+ global.

Has anyone done it successfully?

Attack J1 soviet far east, amur, sibera. build a Major in Manchuria and keep UK India /china relatively occupied . pin down the US fleet with carrier builds and park fighters on it to keep the US building in the pacific.

Get my Italians to clear Soviet buffer troops (usually one or two units between main armies) and get the Italy Germany one two punch going. I found that my mech tank builds were very effective and getting to Russia quickly to support. but I may not build as many mechs this next game. I was matching them tank for mech. but that may only be necessary for clearing forces (IE forces trying to take rostov , caucus ) on the way to moscow.

Can Japan really turn the tide tho in the All Axis on the Soviets strat? thoughts anyone?

Hi James,

I did it once succesfully. First turn I took France, Normandy and Southern France with Germany, so Italy can move the troops from Northern Italy to Yugoslavia which was already taken by the Germans Round 1. With this support and Japan invading Russia Turn 2 and building a major Factory in Korea Russia was down.
The negative side is, that India and ANZAC had no problem to survive and invade the money islands.

Thanks Robby! Glad to hear from you! I have been taking Yugoslavia with the Italians, but getting them into the eastern front faster is a nice key. In my last Europe 1940 game I started with an Italian turn 2 attack and then reinforced with Germany. Sounds like Cmdr Jennifer agrees with the Italians take, Germany re-inforces one two punch in the East. I will definitely consider taking china from the rear, but at the same time I need the 12 IPC’s to keep Japan viable if my resources and ground units aren’t going after the DEI or UK india too hard. excited to see this play out friday evening. If my 2 other players show… and I get to play the Axis which I should since its my turn. I just have to watch out. The Axis Cannot make major mistakes, but the Allies can make plenty and still win the game. Time is on the side of the Allies in the long term with the Awesomeness of the US’s 70+ IPC’s…

Thanks for all the input everyone.

@AllyAxis:

@orania:

There is a major IC in Paris. This isnt possible with A2 rules. Captured Major IC turn into a small one.

Really. I didn’t see that one in the rules I downloaded. No Majors in non native territory can be built. but France falls to a minor? Didn’t see that one at all.

Holy crap your right. I guess it only mattered for France since Britian did not fall or russia. Not sure if we placed that many forces there anyway. Because the Germans did not build that many forces there throughout the game. The italians moved troops in, well maybe before berlin fell late in the game the Axis player on turn 9 may have built more forces there, but largely he used the Italians to defend western Europe and built germans in West germany to defend Denmark.

Ultimately I don’t think it impacted our game or its outcome, but will note that for the future!!!

Next time I draw Germany and I have 2 or 3 Carr.'s I might just try for the USA especially if they dump in the Pacific to counter Japan. I dont think it’s lack of experience on our table 4 of the 6 players have been playing this game and others like this (W.A.W. the grand Daddy, Carr. war , Panzer Blitz and others) since the mid 80’s the other 2 have about 15 yrs exp Hey if it doesnt work out its only a game and we reset, we average about 2 games a weekend,
