Axis & Allies 1914: Round Robin
-
Well that was a tough situation for the Allies, now it just got worst, Italy & Imperial Russia, versus, Germany(big sister with a big navy to play around with, compare to little sister AHE).
Round One: Russia builds for defense & limited attacks, until Italy can lend some help (via Africa), fighter & 6 troopers. Moves reinforcements into Poland, and, moves guns into Belarus(as a gun park). Forces already in Poland enter Prussia, 6 troopers & two guns versus GE. 6 troopers & 3 guns. Losses Allies 3 troopers & Axis 4 troopers.
BB makes it to GE. fleet off Kiel(no mine lost), attacks 2C & BB, losses Allied BB and damages GE. BB(lost is acceptable in order to lessen Axis attack strength into Med. Sea).
GE. builds BB, 2 transports, fighter, &, gun. Moves troops & guns & fighter to Prussia & Silesia.
Battle fighter, 6 guns, &, 15 troopers, versus, Russian 2 troopers & 3 troopers. Losses one trooper Axis and all Allies. Navy heads for entrance to Med. Sea(no time to repair BB).
Italy purchases sub. & transport, her plan is to defend itself from any GE. landings and cause enough mischief in Africa to help Russia at the peace table. Unless the whole GE. fleet goes to visit N.Y.C., there is little chance of Italy landing any land/air forces in Russia. Reorganizes land forces to protect Italian mainland, and, BB & transport(trooper & gun) head for Red Sea.
Round Two: Russia builds fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers. Moves into Silesia 2 guns & 15 troopers, versus, GE. 3 guns & 12 troopers. Losses Allies 4 troopers & Axis 11 troopers.

Losses both sides lose their fighter, Axis & Allies both lose 10 troopers(Poland is contested).
Reinforcements pour into contested Silesia fighter, 9 guns, &, 17 troopers, versus, Russian 2 guns & 11 troopers. Losses for Axis only 3 troopers, &, Allies all(Silesia is uncontested). A fleet sets off from Kiel to entrance to Med. Sea, with two transports(trooper & gun each one) & escort BB.
Italy builds BB, moves transport to reinforce Sicily with transport & gun. A BB & transport(trooper & gun) lands in GE. East Africa, shelling takes out defending GE. trooper, and, the colony falls.
Round Three: Russia builds fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers. Moves fighter from Moscow into Poland, along with troopers & guns. Combat fighter, 9 guns, &, 10 troopers, versus, GE. 4 troopers & 6 guns. Losses Allies 5 troopers, &, all for Axis(Poland is uncontested).
GE. builds sub., 2 transports, fighter, gun, &, 2 troopers. Moves more forces into Poland, in air duel GE. fighter is defeated, 20 troopers & 12 guns, versus, Russian fighter, 5 troopers, &, 9 guns. Losses 9 troopers GE. & all but one trooper for Russia.
GE. fleet attempts to land in the future, forces in undefended Sardinia(a GE. sub. lost to mines). Damaged BB , 2C, 3 subs., versus, Italian BB & C & sub. & transport. Losses only GE. damaged BB & C left, and, all lost for Italy. Meanwhile fleet from Kiel of BB & 2 transports(trooper and gun each), arrive at entrance to Med. Sea, set for Sardinia.
Italy builds BB & submarine. Moves BB & transport off Kameron, lands trooper & gun(shelling had no effect on lone defending trooper). Battle Allies lose gun & GE. troopers destroyed, Kamerun falls.
Italy gives back both GE. colonies to get Axis forces out of Poland, Russian has to give full freedom to Poland as a buffer state(in reality a puppet state to GE), GE. navy has full access to central Med. Sea(no mine worries).
Losses IPCs: Axis troopers 44 units & Allies 48, guns 6 & 14, fighter one each, transport Allies one, subs. 4 & 1, C one each side, &, BB two Allies.

Back to W.W. I, A.H. Empire versus Italian & French Empire.
PelluloRound One: AH Empire builds fighter, sub., &, 4 troopers. Here a quick strike for Rome can bring some results, with only one sea & land entrance for Austro-Hungarian Empire, makes it hard for the Allies to attack. But with France to lend large land forces to help Italy, perhaps a limited conquest(say Venice) to help see what the Allies will give to get AHE out of Italy.
Sends forces into Venice, while keeping Trieste covered in case of any future Allied sea landings. Twelve troopers & 4 guns versus Italian 6 troopers & 2 guns. Losses 5 troopers, &, all Italian but for one trooper. Venice is contested.
Fr. builds sub., fighter, &, 4 troopers. Moves forces into Italy, &, fighter lands in Piedmont. Also transport lands there, 2 troopers from North African colonies. Another transport goes to Morocco to pick up 2 troopers from W. Africa.
Brest fleet goes to Med. Sea, while Med. fleet, links up with Italian fleet.
Italy builds fighter & 2 troopers. Sends reinforcements into Venice, it is still contested. Also transport picks up colonial trooper & gun from Libya, and, lands them in Piedmont.
Round Two AH Empire builds fighter, BB, 2 troopers, &, gun. More forces into Venice, 37 troopers & 8 guns, &, fighter, versus, Italian 8 troopers & 2 guns. Losses AHE 7 troopers & all Allies, Venice has fallen.
France builds fighter, 2 troopers, &, BB. Transport from Morocco & 2 from Marseilles debarks 6 troopers on Tuscany. Also BB & sub. join up with Italian Fleet off Rome. Reinforcements enter Piedmont from Eastern France(along with fighter from Paris).
Italy builds gun & 3 infantry, transport arrives off East Africa. Reinforcements from Piedmont & Rome enter Tuscany.
Round Three: AHE builds sub., fighter, gun, &, four troopers. More land reinforcements pour into Venice, along with fighter from capital. Land forces attack Tuscany(rather than Piedmont). Thirty troopers & 8 guns & fighters, versus, Allies 15 troopers, 3 guns, &, 2 fighters. Losses Axis 11 troopers and fighter, &, French 6 troopers & fighter. Also Italian 8 troopers & 3 guns lost. Tuscany is contested.
AHE breaks out of Home Waters(no mine lost) aiming for French transports. Two BB & C & sub., versus, Fr. 2BB & C & sub. & 3 transports, &, Italian BB & C(only after battle Italian BB & Fr. BB & 3 transports left).
France builds fighter, sub., gun, &, 3 troopers. Moves 3 transports from Italy to Marseilles & lands in Tuscany 6 troopers(from Piedmont forces move into Tuscany also). Battle 17 troopers & 4 guns & fighter, versus, AHE 19 troopers & 8 guns. Losses Fr. 15 troopers & AHE 10 troopers.
At sea Fr. BB goes to AHE Home Waters, hits mine, but, takes out Axis submarine.

Round Four: AHE builds BB & fighter and 3 troopers. Moves from Venice forces into Tuscany and fighter from capital. Also from Trieste forces go into Venice, &, from the capital forces go to Trieste(to defend against any sea landings).

At sea, sub. goes from Marseilles, with no mine damage to join damaged BB, in AHE Home waters, versus, AHE BB. Losses all.
Italy builds gun & 3 troopers. Moves Rome garrison to Tuscany, 4 troopers, versus, AHE trooper & 7 guns. Losses all of Italy’s European land forces & AHE 3 guns. Transport with trooper arrives off Egypt.
Endplay AHE will never take Rome or head towards Paris, even probably controlling Tuscany again(to do so, lets France to retake Venice). Pieces for land are about the same for both sides, Axis has no navy, but, needs to build one to protect the coastline from Fr. landings in the future(if Venice is lost, would also face a land invasion). For the Allies, it would be a long bloody road to Vienna. So both sides “save face”, where Fr. Tunis & Italian Libya meet, a small part of the coastline(20 miles long & 5 deep) is leased to AHE for ninety-nine years. Also uncontested home ports visits for everybody. This mini leased colony is a non-militarized zone.
Losses IPCs, Allies troopers 43 & Axis 37, Allies guns 12 & Axis 6, fighters 3 each side, transport for Axis, 2 subs. each side, Allies 2 C & Axis 1, and, 3 BBs each side.

Round Seven: AHE does not to do anything, a round has finish and they still control Rome. True if hostilities picked up, AHE would have to, with reinforcements having to come into being, secure the seacoast, rebuild a navy, and, fight your way back to Rome(to link up with a cut off army of mostly 6 guns & a trooper). Much less link up with forces in cut off Piedmont. The problem with Italy, Allied sea landing are for ever coming , especially with Brits. copious transports(it is like playing whack the mole game in the video arcade, take out or contest a landing, and, another landing occurs).
So taking a small chunk of Libya & Egypt to get a small non-militarized colony is well worth it, especially getting your forcers safety out of Italy, and, Allies off your coastline and home waters.
If not then on British Empire next move you have 2 BBs shelling, transport off Italy with 2 troopers, 4 transports from Africa & India with 6 troopers & 2 guns, 2 transports off S. France with 2 troopers & gun & tank, 2 transports at entrance to Med. Sea with 3 troopers & gun(much less 4 leaving Wales with 6 troopers & 2 guns). Also any future builds to take back Rome & Piedmont, much less new Italian forces.
Taking the colony is a sure thing, or, losing everything in trying to hold onto Italy.
IPCs losses Axis 51 & Allies 60 troopers, 7 & 17 guns, tank only Axis, 4 fighters each side, 1 & 2 transports, 8 & 1 subs., 1 & 6 C, 3 BB Axis only.

Next British & Italian Empires versus German & Ottoman Empires.
Round One: Germany builds fighter, 2 transports, sub., &, C. Needs naval dominance in order to invade British Home Islands, that would help the Ottomans more, than trying to link up navies/land troops in Africa/Mid-East.
The Ottoman Empire is caught between British Colonial forces & Italy, they have only a few rounds before the Allies overrun them. For Germany it is really a naval game, the bulk of her land forces will just gather dust, for this game.
Moves fleet to Sea Zone #4 off Scotland, except two subs. that go from Sea Zone #7 to off Canada. Fighter flies from capital to Kiel. This will force in the future, the Brits. to attack the new builds, through two minefields, or, the fleet off Scotland. Just beyond Scotland is undefended Ireland, where two of its three sea spaces have no mine protection.
Two troopers from W. Africa take over undefended Brit. colonies of Gold Coast & Nigeria. Off Canada 2 subs. versus Canadian C & transport. Losses all but one submarine.
British Empire builds fighter, BB, sub., &, transport. Moves troopers & gun to help protect coastline of Home Island. Sudan & East Africa trooper head for Egypt. Trooper from Rhodesia invades GE. East Africa(defended by trooper), &, trooper & gun from South Africa invades GE. S. Africa(defended by gun & trooper). Losses all Axis, &, Allies a gun, both colonies fall!
Garrison in Egypt invade Jordan, with BB & transport(2 troopers), from India, arriving off Jordan. BB shelling & Turkish defending gun eliminate a trooper each. Seven troopers & 2 guns versus Turkish trooper & gun. Losses Axis all, Jordan has fallen!
Egyptian transport heads for India, &, C from India arrives off Egypt
Ottoman build 2 troopers, gun, &, fighter. Moves forces from Syrian & Smyrna(one trooper sent to Mesopotamia as reinforcement) go into Jordan. Meanwhile capital garrison moves to Smyrna.
In Jordan 7 troopers & gun, versus, British 8 troopers & 2 guns. Losses all Axis but one trooper, &, Allies 5 troopers.
Italy builds transport & fighter. Land 2 troopers in contested Jordan, takes out Axis trooper for no lost, Jordan is uncontested! Forces in Africa head for Jordan.
BB & C enter Turkish Home waters(BB suffers mine damage), versus, Axis 2 C & fighter. Losses all Allies, &, Axis 2C. Turks have no naval forces to protect capital.
Round Two: Germany builds fighter, 2 transports, BB, & C. Fighter flies to Kiel, remaining 2 troopers in Africa, go to Togoland to hunker down. Sub. joins transport at Sea Zone #4 for an impending attack on Ireland.
Combat 3 BBs(one damaged by mines), 3 subs.(one lost to mines), 3 C, transport(with troopers), &, fighter, versus Britain Home fleet of fighter(lost in air duel), 2 BBs, 2 C, sub., &, 2 transports. Losses only damaged Brit. BB survived.
British built BB, transport, &, 2 fighters. Two transports & BB in Red Sea moves to India. Two troopers heading to Egypt from East Africa, and, another trooper arrives in Jordan(from Egypt). Cruiser off Egypt heads for British Home Islands. While damaged BB off London, goes to Sea Zone#4, &, sinks GE. sub. & transport(2 troopers).
Combat BB scores a hit, &, defending gun scores also. Trooper & 2 guns, versus, Ottoman 2 troopers & gun. Losses Allies a trooper & Axis a trooper & gun, Mesopotamia is contested!
Turkey builds sub. & 3 troopers. Moves Smyrna garrison & 2 troopers from Syria, into Jordan. From capital 2 troopers & gun head for Mesopotamia. Eight troopers & 2 guns & fighter from capital, versus, British 3 troopers & 2 guns, and, It. 2 troopers. Losses Axis 5 troopers & all Allies. Jordan is retaken!
Italy builds BB & Trooper. Moves 2 transports to off Egypt & lands 4 troopers, &, fighter flies in from Rome.
Round Three: GE. builds BB, 2 transports, &, fighter. Invasion of Ireland, still in the works, another fighter flies to Kiel from Berlin. For now off Scotland, Sea Zone #4, BB & C & 2 transports(2 troopers & 2 guns), along with fighter(lost in air duel with Brit. fighter from London). BB & defending gun each take out a infantry. Landed trooper & 2 guns, versus, Brits. 2 troopers & gun. Losses Axis 2 guns & Allies trooper & gun. Scotland is contested!
Brits. build BB, 2 transports, for Home islands, and, 3 troopers & gun for India. Reinforcements into Scotland, 3 troopers & gun, versus, GE. trooper. Losses all Axis & Scotland uncontested. Transport drops 2 troopers off Wales, &, C from Med. Sea joins to protect it.
Moves two transports with 3 troopers land in Mesopotamia, with fighter flying in from India. BB shelling takes out defending Turkish trooper, Mesopotamia falls.
C off Egypt enter Ottoman Home Waters, no mine lost, &, takes out defending submarine. Naval losses are heavy but land forces are needed for India for Ottoman invasion. Local control of seas allows transports to be used.
Ottoman build a BB, moves forces to take back Mesopotamia(another 2 troopers are on the way). In a attempt to at least contest Mesopotamia, in air duel with Brit. fighter, the Turkish fighter is lost. Two troopers & gun, versus, Brits. 4 troopers, fighter, & gun. Losses Axis trooper & gun, &, Allies 3 troopers. The province is contested.
Italy builds fighter, sub., &, trooper. Moves forces from Egypt into Jordan, 5 troopers & gun & fighter, versus, Ottoman 3 troopers & gun. Losses Allies trooper & Axis 2 troopers, Jordan is contested.
BB & 2 transports enter Ottoman Home Waters(no mine lost), versus, Ottoman BB. Losses both BBs. Landed 2 troopers & 2 guns & fighter(flies in), versus, Ottoman 2 troopers & gun(defending gun scored no hits against forces trying to land). Losses Allies a trooper & Axis all. Axis capital falls!
Allies win by default, end of round Ottoman capital still taken, if another round played, maybe the Turks might have taken it back(with 4 troopers, gun, & fighter). Of course GE. might have invaded Scotland(or London) again, with 4 transports, fighter, 2 BBs, & C, versus, defending Brits. had only 2 BBs & fighter.
Naval losses heavy, but, primary land forces losses in Mid-East only. For last round I replayed it, where the Turks got only a submarine & 2 extra troopers(instead of a BB). When Italy invaded Ottoman Home Waters, the BB survived(destroyed sub. but was damaged), &, took out a trooper shelling, &, capital was still taken by landed forces.
GE. gives up another colony to get the Allies out of Turkey, &, promises never to enter Brit. Home Waters, or, invade Scotland again. Also Allies get control of lower quarter of Jordan & Mesopotamia.
IPCs lost Axis Trooper 29 & 19 Allies, guns both seven, fighter 2 & 1, transport 1 & 3, sub. 5 &1, C both three, BB 1 & 3.

From Smyrna to Syria 3 troopers sent, versus, Brit. trooper. Losses only 1 trooper Axis. From Ankara 3 troopers sent to Mesopotamia versus Brits. 2 troopers. Losses 2 troopers each side, Mesopotamia recaptured! Capital sends 3 troopers to Ankara & Smyrna as reinforcements.
Round Six: GE. builds sub., transport, gun, 2 troopers, fighter, &, tank. Fighter flies from Berlin to Kiel, &, also from Ruhr to Lorraine. Moves Lorraine garrison to Burgundy, leaves trooper & gun to hold onto Lorraine(coastline provinces have at least a trooper & gun in case of any sea landings).
Battle 16 troopers, &, 11 guns, versus, British 3 troopers & 3 guns, and, Fr. 13 troopers, gun, &, fighter. Losses Axis 12 troopers & Allies 13 troopers, Burgundy is still contested.

Next scenario French & British Empires, versus, Austro-Hungary & Ottoman Empires. Here the Allies need to blockade the AH Navy, and, reduce the Ottoman provinces. They can concentrate their land forces via transports upon Ottoman forces. While AHE needs to gain naval dominance to try to its fellow Axis power, while the Turks need to hang on, until help arrives.Easier said than done.

Moves land forces in Africa to Egypt, C from India arrives off Egypt, another C from Canada & transport(with trooper & gun) arrives off S. France. Home fleet of BB, 2 C, &, transport with trooper & gun, heads for Jordan. London garrison heads for Wales.
In Mesopotamia battle, BB from India shells(scores a hit), while defending Ottoman gun fails to score a hit. Landed trooper & gun each score a hit, while defending trooper & gun score only one hit. Losses Allies a gun & Axis all, Mesopotamia falls!
Joining the Fr. trooper in Jordan, from Egypt 6 troopers & 2 guns, versus, AHE trooper & Ottoman 2 troopers & gun. Losses Allies 3 troopers & Axis all, Jordan falls!
Ottoman Empire builds fighter, gun, & 2 troopers. Reinforcements are sent to Jordan & Mesopotamia, while trying to cover the coastal provinces from future sea landings.

From Ankara 6 troopers & gun enter Mesopotamia, versus, BE trooper. Losses trooper each side, Mesopotamia retaken!
From Syria a trooper & capital 2 troopers enter Ankara, &, from capital 2 troopers & gun enter Smyrna.
Axis sea power is 2C only, &, in two or so rounds the Ottoman will probably have to come to the peace table. All the Allies have to do is take out more land forces the Ottoman can replace, &, keep the AHE fleet blocked, hard, but, not impossible.
Ottoman take a chance & 2C enter Egyptian waters, versus, Brit. C & Fr. transport, losses Axis a C & Allies all.
Round Two: AHE builds up naval forces of transport, sub., &, BB. Moves 2 BB from Home Waters & links up with Ottoman C off Jordan.

Losses Axis all but a trooper, &, Allies Fr. gun, &, Brits. trooper & gun. Jordan contested!
Ottoman Empire goes to the peace table, even if they still had a C left off Jordan, the onrushing tide of Allies warships, much less 10 transports, makes a third round, not a good idea. Defensives in the western part of the empire are starting to fail. Better to deal with a show of strength, than to be overrun by the Allies. AHE navy can only help so much.
Give part of oil fields exploration to the Allies, comp. & keep its Alliance with AHE by allowing them to join the Ottomans in the oil fields. Physically allow a token Allied force in S. Jordan(same for Ottoman), &, some permanent passage of Allies navy through the straits. Allies can use AHE home waters.
IPCs lost Axis troopers 17 & Allies 13, guns 5 & 2, fighters 1 & 2, transports 1 & 2, subs. 1 Allies only, C three each side, BB 3 & 1.

This time Ottoman Empire has a much more powerful ally, especially in the naval department.

Ottoman Empire knows another round or two the Allies will overrun the empire. GE. failure to break out of the North Sea, much less permanent conquest of part of the British Islands is not working out(especially after the naval disasters of round 5-6). Allies rule the seas, &, have also air superiority.
Minor to moderate victory for the Allies!, Ottoman Empire leaves contested Egypt, if the Allies leave contested Togoland. GE. loses 2 colonies, split tween the three Allies(USA does what it likes, &, makes a new country). Ottoman comps. Germany by giving them some oil leases.
IPCs losses Axis & Allies 29 troopers each side, guns 13 & 8, fighter 7 & 4, transport 4 & 2, sub. 10 & 5, C 6 & 7, BBs 12 & 4.
This scenario is the last of 2 Axis powers versus 2 Allied powers, theses 2 versus 2 games were played out of sync by accident, with the next two series of games. Those games are 2 Axis versus 3 Allied powers, &, 2 Axis versus 4 Allied powers, of course the former games will include and the latter will not have Axis Turkey.

Round One: GE. builds 2 BB & transport, moves fighter from capital to Kiel. Combat from Home Waters to British Home Waters, 2 C, BB, 2 subs.(from sea zone #5), versus, British 2 C, BB, &, transport. Losses only damaged GE. BB & C survive. Meanwhile at Sea Zone #7 two subs. go off Canada, &, sink for no lost, Canadian C & transport.
Try to take enough of the Brit. Home Islands, is easier than trying to link up with the Ottoman fleet, much less send a transport with reinforcements to Jordan.
In Togoland trooper takes undefended Gold Coast, &, another trooper from Kamerun takes undefended Nigeria. Also S.W. Africa trooper & gun enters Brits. South Africa, versus, Brits. trooper & gun. Both sides lose a gun, &, colony contested.
British Empire builds for India a fighter, &, BB & C from India to link up with C off Egypt, while transport off latter heads towards India. In UK troopers and guns reposition themselves on Home Islands.
South Africa defending trooper versus invading GE. trooper(losses GE. trooper, colony is uncontested!). Trooper from Rhodesia & Brit. E. Africa, enter GE. E. Africa, losses trooper each side, the colony falls! While another trooper goes from Sudan to Egypt.
Egyptian garrison of 6 troopers & 2 guns enter Jordan, while BB & transport from India lands trooper & gun into Jordan(BB shelling takes out a defending trooper, &, defending gun none). Losses Allies 2 troopers & Axis trooper & gun, Jordan falls!
Ottoman Empire builds sub., fighter, &, gun. Forces from Syria & Smyrna into Jordan. Desperation has crept into their situation. A trooper from Anaka to Mesopotamia, while rest of garrison goes to Syria. Also 4 troopers go from capital to Smyrna. Battle in Jordan, 7 troopers & gun, versus, British 6 troopers & gun. Losses Axis 6 troopers & Allies 2 troopers, Jordan is contested.
Italy builds sub. & fighter, moves forces in Africa to Egypt. Also BB & transport lands 2 troopers in Jordan, BB scores a hit, along with a hit from each landed trooper. Ottoman gun fails to score a defending hit, losses Allies all, &, Axis losses two out of three troopers and, lost of the gun.
U.S.A. builds fighter and two transports. BB & C arrive off Canada, versus, two GE. subs. Losses Allies BB damaged, &, Axis all.
Round Two: GE. builds BB, C, sub., transport, &, fighter. Moves 2 BBs & transport to go off Scotland(with fighter from Kiel), with no mine lost. Joining already there, damaged BB, C, versus, British 2 BBs. Losses Axis fighter, C, &, another two BBs damaged, &, Allies all. Three BBs shell(score two hits), from transport trooper & gun land in undefended Scotland, &, it falls!
British Empire builds 3 troopers for India, &, trooper, gun, sub., &, C. Two transports & BB off Jordan head for India. Trooper moves from South Africa to GE. S.W. Africa, &, undefended colony falls! Another trooper goes back to Egypt from GE. E. Africa, while in Egypt another trooper goes to Jordan.
Combat, BB shells and hits an enemy trooper(no losses due to defending gun fire). Landed 3 troopers & gun, versus, 2 troopers & gun. Losses Allies 2 troopers, &, Axis all, Mesopotamia falls!
In Jordan 5 troopers & 2 guns, versus, Ottoman trooper & gun. Losses Allies a trooper & Axis all, Jordan falls again. Meanwhile from Yorkshire 4 troopers & gun, enter Scotland, versus, defending GE. trooper & gun. Losses Allies 2 troopers & Axis all, &, Scotland freed!
Ottoman Empire builds 2 troopers, gun, &, fighter. From capital to Smyrna trooper & gun, while Smyrna garrison into Jordan, & , trooper from Syria into Mesopotamia(trying to restore empire’s borders).
From Home Waters, 2C, submarine, &, fighter(no mine lost), versus, in central Med. Sea, Italian BB & transport, and, British 2C. Losses all Axis, &, only Italian transport survives.
Four troopers & 2 guns, versus, Brits. 4 troopers & 2 guns. Losses Axis 3 troopers & 2 guns, &, Allies 3 troopers, Jordan is contested.
Four troopers & gun, versus, Brits. trooper, gun, &, fighter. Losses Axis 3 troopers & Allies all, Mesopotamia is uncontested.
Italy builds transport & C. Moves trooper from Brit. E. Africa to Sudan. Transport from Rome to Jordan, lands trooper & gun, traveling along with Sub. & C. Combat 2 troopers & 2 guns, versus, Ottoman trooper in contested Jordan(all Axis is lost).
U.S.A. builds BB, transport, &, gun. Moves BB & C from Sea Zone #2 to off Ireland(C continues to join British Fleet off London), with 2 transports from East Coast. Landed 2 troopers, 2 guns, &, fighter(flown in from East Coast) onto Ireland.

BB, C, sub., &, transport arrive with no mine lost. Battle 4 BBs(two already damaged), C, Sub., &, transport, versus, British C & sub., &, U.S. Cruiser. Losses Axis 2 more BB are damaged, C, &, sub., &, Allies all.
Landing 4 BB shell & take out 2 defending trooper, while defending gun takes out trooper, gun cannot land by itself, &, fighter that flew in from Kiel scores no hit. Landing has failed!, better 2 trooper landing, than a trooper & gun set. GE. has for now control of seas between Kiel & London, but, still cannot lend direct support to Turkish Ally, much less make a landing in British Islands.
Ottoman Empires sues for Peace!, they know with U.S. fleet arriving & transports with land forces for U.K., GE. will not make much of an impression on British Home islands. On Brits. next turn, they will probably take Syria, maybe Mesopotamia, much less Italian units landing in Jordan(Ottoman need peace in order to save the empire). Even thought Allies fleets are spread out, they have Ottomans boxed in. While GE. 3 damaged & 3 undamaged BBs are too far away to help(Axis slight edge in naval forces will not help in Mid-East).
In land forces GE. rules, but, they are all in the wrong place to be effective, while Italy & Brits. are very close or touching the Ottoman Empire(while the US forces are all in round one, in just one area).
Minor lost for the Axis, GE. gives back both British colonies, while Brits. give back Jordan and one GE. colony. Ottoman comp. GE. with oil, and, the remaining GE. colony split between Allies( U.S.A. does what it likes to do, make a new nation).
IPCs lost in units: Axis trooper 20 & Allies trooper 16, guns 8 & 1, fighter 2 only Axis, transport 2 only Allies, sub. 6 & 1, Cruiser 5 & 7, BB 4 Allies only.

U.S.A. builds fighter, trooper, gun, &, transport. Two transports head for France with 3 troopers & gun, while another transport with trooper & gun heads for North Africa. Also BB & C heads for London to join Allied Fleet.
Round Three: The Axis have to go on a full scale attack, of course the question is, should the Ottoman Empire sit this out, and, only attack when Germany is well into France. By the next round this question should be answered.
Germany builds 2 BB, fighter, &, trooper. More land forces enter Alsace, while a fighter flies to Lorraine from Ruhr( another fighter flies from capital to Kiel).
The Second Reich cannot wait for more Allied reinforcements to reach France, the invasion of Lorraine begins. Two fighters dog fight two Fr. fighters, both Axis fighters lost for one Fr. fighter.

Peace breaks out, GE. cannot keep up with the naval war anymore, now especially when the Allies outnumber them on the Western Front. Even Southern GE. will be hard to protect, much less hold, until new land & air units are fed into the pipeline. Gets back a colony for pulling out its lone trooper in Burgundy, free passage for Allied navies through its Home Waters. Of course the Allies can refuse, but, knows it would be a long march to ever get to Berlin.
The Ottoman Empire can go onto probable take out Sudan if it went to Round Seven, but, with additional French & more U.S. & British reinforcements, landings can be made soon into the empire. For a fair swap, they leave Egypt, &, British leave Mesopotamia. Oil leases for everybody, but, a good chunk for Germany. As for the Allies British keep an colony for themselves, give one to France & one to U.S.(who plan to turn it into a new nation).

Ottoman Empire builds fighter, trooper, &, gun. More land units enter into Jordan.
U.S.A. builds BB & C, moves transport(2 troopers) & sub., to entrance of Med. Sea. BB & C joins Allied Fleet in Central Med. Sea.
Round Three: AHE builds sub., transport, BB, &, fighter. Home Feet stays at anchorage, next round will attempt a breakout to link up with Ottoman Empire, who will be invading Egypt.
France builds C, submarine, &, fighter. Transport leaves Egypt, goes to S. France & returns with trooper & gun(while a transport already at Marseilles does the same). BB escorts both transports to Egypt.

U.S.A. builds transport, sub., &, fighter. Moves sub. & transport off Egypt(2 troopers debark), while fighter flies to Morocco.
Round Four: AHE builds fighter, C, &, BB. The navy knows it is outnumber by no less than 50% off Italy, if the Allies want to prevent a breakout, let them come and get them in their Home Waters(one fleet at a time).
France builds 2 BBs. Fighters fly from capital to Marseilles, two transports go from Egypt to Marseilles, and, back(debark 4 troopers). Fleets from W. & Mid. Med. Sea enter AHE Home Waters with fighter from Egypt. Battle 2 BB(both damaged by mines), C, 2 subs., &, fighter, versus, AHE 4 BB, C, 2 subs., transport, &, 3 fighters.

Peace breaks out! AHE knows where this is going, their fleet will never get big enough to take on the Allies. If by chance they get naval superiority for one turn, probably Ottoman Empire will be overrun.
The Turks actually have some forces in Egypt, they agree to pull out, and, hand out economic “candy” to the Allies, oil leases(they make sure AHE helps finance their share of the Ottoman leases).
IPCs lost Axis troopers 11, &, Allies trooper 13, fighters 7, &, 3, transport 2, &, 1, subs. 3, &, 4, C 4, &, 5, and, BB five each side.

Next the most combatants, in order to keep it Round Robin, Axis German and Austro-Hungarian Empires, versus, Allies Russian & French & British Empires and U.S.A.
For the Allies, it is let’s save Russia, before the Axis overrun them. Russia needs to either hold at all costs, or, trade space for time, while British needs to get naval superiority and land troops to help France attack S. Germany, also the French need to keep the Med. Sea a Allied lake. While the U.S.A. helps fill in the gaps(probably help take out those GE. colonies).
The Axis needs to keep their land & air forces rolling onto Russia, least amount of spending on naval forces, but, keep their coastal areas well defended.
Round One: AHE builds 2 fighters, submarine, &, 2 troopers. Moves land forces into S. Russia(Trieste garrison is left to guard coastline). Galicia garrison goes into Ukraine, even if contested, &, destroyed on Russia’s turn.
The ideal is to take out more Russian forces, than can be replace(a one-two punch delivered by the Axis powers). Six troopers & 2 guns, versus, the same. Losses Axis 5 troopers & Allies 3 troopers, Uk. is contested.
Russian Empire builds fighter, sub., gun, &, 3 troopers. Moves forces from Empire towards southern & western portions of the empire. In the Baltic Sea coastal regions are protected by one trooper each & fleet. The Black Sea has just 2 C protecting Sevastopol & no forces for White Sea.

Round Two: AHE builds fighter, 2 troopers, gun, &, BB. Moves a force from Galicia again of 12 troopers & 2 guns, &, fighter from capital, into the Uk., versus, Russia 8 troopers & 5 guns. Losses AHE 6 troopers, &, for Russia 7 troopers & a gun.
They could destroy the Russian forces & take Poland this turn, but, will leave that to the Germans(the Axis pincer forces will meet only when they take Moscow). Sending more forces into Galicia, from Vienna, sans two troopers & fighter sent to the coast.
The fleet leaves home waters, &, goes to off Egypt. BB, C, sub., &, transport(2 troopers), versus, Brits. 2 C. Losses Axis BB damaged & sub., &, Brits. all. BB shells & defending guns replies.

C off S. France, enter AHE Home Waters(no mine lost), &, battles BB(both lost). Axis has no naval power left!
Round Three: AHE needs to put some $ into naval purchases, but, at the same time pour as much material towards Moscow. Their Ally German is having trouble on the Western Front, &, will probably add little reinforcements for their Moscow push. It comes to the AHE to get there first, this round will pave the way for the next, either getting into Moscow(taking it or contesting it), or, make peace feelers to the Allies.
AHE builds sub., fighter, 3 troopers, &, gun. Moves a trooper to Trieste, &, trooper & gun to Galicia. Meanwhile Galicia garrison enters Uk., 25 troopers, 6 guns, fighter, versus, Russian trooper, 4 guns, &, fighter. Losses both fighters lost in air duel, Axis losses 3 troopers, &, Allies all, Uk. has fallen!
Russia builds 7 troopers, &, plans to hunker down in Moscow. Sends 2 troopers from Livonia into Moscow. All forces are concentrated in capital, Russians know the Axis will take the shortest way to their capital. The Axis cannot afford to take undefended provinces, that will give time for Russia to build more forces.
GE. has the most IPCs to build for this turn, but, has no navy(needing to build one, so the Allies do not make any landings), and, needs plenty of land units, to stop the Allies from getting into S. Germany. GE. builds 2 troopers, fighter, &, off Kiel a BB, C, &, submarine. Next turn more land forces, less naval units.
Moves forces back into Alsace, in order to save those precious guns. Still 6 guns & a trooper will not stop the Western Allies. Lorraine is abandon!, fighter flies from capital to Kiel(fails to sink Fr. transport off Berlin). Berlin garrison heads for Alsace.
Garrison in Poland(sans trooper & gun to protect coastline), enter & take undefended Belarus. Moscow is caught in the pincer of the Axis Powers!
France builds sub. off Marseilles, fighter, 2 troopers, &, gun. Moves reinforcements from Burgundy & Picardy into Lorraine. Along with 2 troopers into Burgundy from Marseilles. Also Lorraine garrison into Alsace, fighter, 4 guns, &, 2 troopers, versus, GE. trooper & 6 guns. Losses Allies all but trooper, &, Axis 4 guns, Alsace is contested!

British Empire builds fighter, BB, transport, &, gun. Transport off S. Africa goes to off Kamerun, while in Egypt trooper & gun board Fr. transport. Also trooper from Fr. Eq. Africa, takes over GE. undefended Kamerun. Trooper from S. Africa & GE. East Africa, enter Rhodesia defended by GE. trooper. Losses none, colony is contested.
From Picardy to Lorraine, 5 troopers & gun enter. From Home Waters, fighter, BB, C, &, two transports(from Wales with 2 guns & 2 troopers), enter GE. Home waters off Kiel(no mine losses), versus, GE. fighter(lost in air duel), BB, C, &, submarine. Losses Allies BB damaged, C, &, fighter, &, Axis all.
Finally a landing in Kiel, BB shells & defending gun replies. Both score a hit, Brit. trooper lost & GE. gun lost. In Kiel British trooper & 2 guns, versus, defending GE. trooper. Losses Allies gun & Axis trooper, Kiel falls! Axis fleet destroyed & home port captured!
From Lorraine into GE. Alsace, 4 troopers, 2 guns, &, 2 fighter, versus, GE. trooper & 2 guns. Losses Allies trooper, &, GE. all, Alsace has fallen!
U.S.A. builds C, transport, &, trooper. Two transports(2 troopers & 2 guns), with escort BB arrive off London. Also 3 transports(4 troopers & gun) leave East coast for France. Along with fighter leaves Ireland for Scotland.
Round Four: AHE will probably take or contest Moscow, or, GE. will finish it. Builds mostly naval & air units, her coastline is well defended, as for land forces any new units would take three turns to reach Moscow(by then the war could tilt into the Allies favor).
Builds BB, C, sub., &, trooper. Moves from capital to Galicia 2 troopers & gun and fighter flies to Uk., from Galicia to Uk. a trooper & gun. Finally from Uk. to Moscow, 23 troopers & 6 guns, versus, Russian 16 troopers & gun. Losses Axis 9 troopers, &, Allies 5 troopers, Moscow is contested.
Russia builds 7 troopers(yes I know Moscow is contested, house rule for capitals, forces are still arriving to defend it). Will not attack AHE forces, not enough wins can be gotten to eliminate them, much less oncoming Germans.
Germany build BB, sub., tank, gun, &, 4 troopers. Moves Berlin garrison to retake Kiel, 3 troopers, gun, &, fighter, versus, Brits. trooper & gun. Losses Axis trooper & Allies all, Kiel retaken. Splits Hanover forces(6 troopers & gun) to cover Ruhr & Munich areas. Forces in Belarus enter Moscow, 12 troopers & 2 guns & fighter, versus, Russian 18 troopers & gun. Losses GE. 11 troopers & gun, &, Russian 6 troopers.
Of course if Russia was not allowed to builds reinforcements, the game would be practically over by now.
France builds off Marseilles BB, tank & 3 troopers. Moves trooper in Nigeria to board Brit. transport, while trooper from Alsace enter Munich, versus, GE. 3 troopers(lost Allies none & Axis a trooper, Munich is contested). Also 5 troopers from Lorraine enter Alsace, while 2 troopers from Burgundy enter Lorraine(with a fighter from the capital). Finally the Paris garrison enters Burgundy of 3 troopers & gun. A trooper from Livonia enter Moscow, leaving a trooper to guard the coast.
Transport leaves Egypt with Brit. trooper & gun, &, arrives off Marseilles. While a transport leaves Livonia & arrives(no mine lost) off Kiel. Unfortunately the damaged Allied BB & 2 transports already there are British, so the GE. fleet of a BB & sub. go to the attack. Losses Allies 2 Brits. & 1 Fr. transports, Axis all.
British Empire builds C(one off Wales), 2 transports, 2 guns, &, 2 troopers. Moves trooper in Brits. E. Africa towards Egypt. Two troopers versus GE. trooper in Rhodesia, colony retaken for no lost. While trooper in S. Africa takes over undefended GE. S.W. Africa, another trooper boards a transport off Kameron(heading for France). Off Marseilles trooper & gun debark Fr. transport. Meanwhile a trooper & gun debark off another Fr. transport onto Picardy.
Transport from Wales picks up trooper & gun from London, along with another transport off London picks up same, with a BB & a fighter from London. They join damaged BB off Kiel(no mine lost). Both BB shell & defending gun fire(British BBs destroy trooper & gun, &, GE. gun take out a trooper), in air duel GE. fighter lost. Landed trooper & 2 guns & fighter, face one GE. defending trooper. Kiel falls for such heavy a lost!(GE. has lost 2 troopers, gun, &, fighter for Kiel, better the forces were not defending Kiel).
On Western Front from Alsace forces enter Ruhr with 4 troopers, 2 guns, &, 2 fighters, versus, defending GE. 3 troopers & gun. Losses Allies 3 troopers & Axis all. Ruhr has fallen! Also from Lorraine to Alsace 5 troopers & gun enter.
U.S.A. builds transport, trooper, &, tank. Moves C from East coast to join Fr. fleet off Marseilles. Three transports arrive off London(4 troopers & guns), debark for now.
Fighter flies from Scotland to Prussia. BB(damaged by mines) & 2 transports arrive off Prussia with 2 trooper & 2 guns debark, &, in Prussia are defending GE. trooper & gun. BB shells & defending gun relies(Allies lose a trooper & Axis a gun).
Landed trooper & 2 guns & fighter, versus, GE. trooper. Prussia falls for no Allied lost, first major land action for U.S.A.! While another transport(trooper & gun) leaves East Coast for Picardy.
Round Five: Austro-Hungarian Empire is going to play this round two ways, in regards to Russia. The first if Russia was not allowed to collect 7 troopers as reinforcements for Moscow, due to the fact, the capital is contested. The second is if Russia was allowed to collect those troopers.
AHE builds BB, gun, &, 4 troopers. Moves from Uk. a trooper, gun, &, fighter, into Moscow. Now 14 troopers, 7 guns, &, fighter, versus, defending Russian forces of 5 troopers, gun, &, one Fr. trooper(NOTE: this version is where the Russians due to the capital being contested since last turn, could not purchase seven troopers). Losses Axis 4 troopers & Allies all, Moscow falls!
The Axis win!, in the worst possible way, a true Pyrrhic victory that leaves them in utter defeat! Look at the Allies, Russia has four provinces taken over by the Axis powers, France had Lorraine for a short while taken over by GE., Great Britain had for a while 3 African colonies taken over by GE., while the U.S.A. has had no losses in territory. As for the Axis AHE has never lost any provinces, but, its partner GE. has lost four of its eight home provinces, including the principal naval base Kiel. Along with all of its four African colonies, also the French are contesting & will take over a province that borders AHE.
With more Allied sea landings in Russia, &, the threat of the GE. fading away, can AHE last much longer(the Allies can land & reinforce their holdings in Russia, while AHE needs to pull forces out of Russia to try to help GE., Berlin already has Allies on its border, much less defend itself from a Western Allies invasion).
Already forces have been pulled from coastal province to buff up the western empire. The Allies transport express can make a visit there quite soon.
AHE & GE. can crow about taking over Moscow, but, generous peace overtures will prevent the lost of Berlin(maybe Vienna). Pull out of Russia by the Axis, while the Allies pull out of Germany. Moscow alone is worth a GE. colony returning to Berlin, as for the other three are “sold” to the Allies(everybody saves face).
Ok we will start the round again, as AHE faces a Russia, that even though was contested Moscow last round, still built 7 troopers to protect her capital.
Moves to Bohemia from Galicia 3 troopers & gun, along with a trooper from the capital, with 5 troopers & gun from Trieste to Tyrolia. The Western Allies are on the borders of the empire!
Also from Uk. into Moscow trooper & gun & fighter, for a total of 14 troopers, 7 guns, &, fighter, versus, Fr. trooper and Russian 12 troopers, &, gun. Losses Axis 7 troopers & Allies Fr. trooper & Russians 11 troopers, Moscow still contested!
In an attempt to help GE., the AHE fleet leaves port, &, attacks the Ally fleet off S. France. BB, C, &, submarine, versus, same as Allies(with a transport, all Fr. but C is U.S.A.). Losses only damaged Fr. BB left.
Russia builds 5 troopers & hunkers down in Moscow.
GE. builds fighter, gun, &, 6 troopers. Pulls forces from Moscow(they will never take it, leave that to AHE), &, invades & takes Livonia(fighter, trooper & gun, versus, Fr. trooper, losses Axis gun & Fr. trooper). Pulls garrison from Belarus of 2 troopers into Poland, then garrison from Poland of trooper & gun into American occupied Prussia(along with 4 troopers & gun, &, tank from Berlin). Battle 5 troopers, 2 guns, &, tank, versus, U.S. trooper, 2 guns, &, fighter. Losses Axis 3 troopers reduced to two due to tank, &, Allies of 2 guns, Prussia contested.
In Munich defending garrison of 2 troopers attack Fr. 2 troopers, losses trooper each side. The extra Russian province will come in handy for peace talks.
Fr. builds off Marseilles transport, fighter, 4 troopers. Two troopers from Lorraine enter Alsace, 3 troopers & gun from Burgundy enter Lorraine, while from Paris 3 troopers & tank enter Burgundy. Four troopers from Alsace joins trooper in contested Munich(fighter flies in from Lorraine), now 5 troopers versus defending GE. trooper(losses all GE., Munich falls!).
Fr. transport with trooper from Brest arrives off Kiel(start to build up naval forces & transports, to land on Trieste). BB leaves Marseilles, with no mine losses, attacks AHE BB in waters off Trieste, losses Allies BB damaged & Axis all.
British Empire builds sub., 2 transports, fighter, tank, gun, 4 troopers. Colonial forces in Africa start to head towards Egypt. From off Wales C sails to Marseille.
Trooper & 2 guns from Ruhr enter undefended Handover(it falls!). Two BB(one already damaged) enters waters off Berlin, along with Kiel garrison of trooper & 2 guns on 2 transports. Along with 2 transports from Brits. Home Islands of 2 troopers & 2 guns(no mine losses). BBs shell & defending gun replies(each side losses a trooper). Dogfight of 2 fighters from Ruhr & one from Kiel battle defending GE. fighter, each side losses a fighter.
Battle 2 fighters, 2 troopers, &, 4 guns, versus, defending GE. 5 troopers & gun. Losses Allies trooper & gun, &, Axis 4 troopers & gun, Berlin is contested.
U.S.A. builds 2 transports, 3 guns, &, trooper. Transport arrives off London with trooper & gun. Also three transports(4 troopers & gun) arrive off Berlin & Prussia from London, no mine lost, lands trooper & gun onto Berlin. Trooper & gun versus defending GE. trooper. Losses U.S. gun, &, GE. trooper, Berlin has fallen!
Meanwhile 2 transports off Prussia leaves for East Coast, two other transports land three troopers as reinforcements. U.S.A. BB shells & defending GE. gun replies, each scores a hit on a trooper. Reinforcements hunker down.
Another transport leaves East Coast with trooper & tank for Marseilles.
Round Six: AHE plays this round, to get as much as possible at the conference table, after this turn, will sue for Peace(knows the Allies are tired of fighting). Builds fighter, BB, sub., &, 4 troopers.
Moves 4 troopers & gun into Silesia Germany, from Vienna(not defended by Allies or occupied by GE. troops, taken over by AHE). Four infantry & gun from Bohemia enter British held Hanover, versus, trooper & 2 guns. Losses only Allies all, Hanover falls! From Tryolia enter Fr. held Munich, 5 troopers, gun, & fighter, versus, Fr. fighter, &, five troopers. Fr. fighter losses air duel, losses Axis 2 troopers, & Allies 2 troopers, Munich contested!
Finally the Battle for Moscow, 8 troopers, 6 guns, fighter, versus, Russian 7 troopers & gun. Losses Allies 6 troopers & Axis 6 troopers & gun.
Peace breaks out!
Even thought AHE forces border Berlin, taking it is hard enough, but, to hold it would be next to impossible(so far for reinforcements to arrive, much less Allies with their transport arrive so easily). Still with a GE. province contested, &, two others taken over, holding them becomes a big problem, much less if you use those forces to try to take Berlin.
The attack on Moscow failed, with Russian reinforcements coming up, &, if it went to another turn, you would need all hits from all AHE forces to take Moscow(most unlikely). Maybe a sudden retreat, just to take a empty Russian province, would work out better for another turn.
AHE beef up their navy, in case of some future Allied landing coming from France, but, could only build 4 troopers(inadequate for a Western, Eastern, &, Coastal front, to the peace table!).
The Axis powers pull completely out of Russia, while the Allies pull out of Germany completely. Alsace is demilitarized & Prussia becomes a country again. GE. losses all its colonies(to be split tween the Allies, Russia takes money for their share), makes it hard for GE. to go onto a offensive. The Allies help Russia rebuilt, while AHE helps Germany. Russia & GE. got ravage, minor physical damage for Fr. & B.E., while A.H.E. & U.S.A. were never invaded.
Finally Allies free passage in Axis Home waters, moderate Allied victory.
IPCs of Units Lost: Troopers Axis 114 and Allies 110, Guns 26 & 28, Fighters six each side, Subs. 9 & 3, Transports 3 & 6, BB 8 & 5, and, C five each side.

Pellulo
Next British & French & Russian & Italian Empires versus AH & German Empires. If you thought U.S.A. was a weak sister, Italy has smaller IPC value, but, much larger unit setup.
The Axis Powers victim is Russia, it can be attacked by both empires at the same time. While doing so holding the line defensively at the Italian & French borders, while juggling enough land forces to be feed for offensive purposes in the Northern Front(& defensively on the Southern Front). Also keep the air & naval arms up to strength.
Finally keep secondary small armies, up north, to google up all those empty Russian provinces for the taking.
The Allied Powers need to get naval superiority to get those transports to Russia(or attack the Axis homelands), and/or, keep the Med. Sea a Allied lake. Also pound away via N. France & Italy to force the Axis Powers to divert resources from the Eastern Front(taking out GE. colonies in Africa will help also).
The danger of transport landings in Axis territories already forces them to try to keep large navies, &, keep their coastlines garrisoned.
Round One: Austro-Hungarian Empire builds, gun, 3 troopers, fighter, &, submarine. Moves Bohemia & Budapest & half of Vienna garrison to Galicia. From Vienna to Trieste & Tyrolia are sent 3 troopers each, while a gun is left in capital(to form a gun park).
Russia builds fighter, sub., &, 4 troopers. Poland is too open for a combined Axis attacks, moves garrison sans a trooper to Livonia, Moscow garrison to Belarus, &, Far East forces to Ukraine.
Germany builds sub. & transport off Kiel, fighter, &, 5 troopers. GE. moves up forces in Prussia & Silesia for next turn invasion of Poland, with Berlin(plus fighter), &, Hanover, &, Kiel garrisons going east(leaving forces to protect the coastlines). Forces from Ruhr & Munich reinforce garrison at Alsace.

Russia builds 8 troopers. Moves from capital, one trooper into Uk., &, moves trooper & gun from Uk., back into Sevastopol. From capital moves 3 troopers & gun, into Belarus. Troopers from Finland & Karelia move into Livonia, while fleet stays in home waters. With capital, Livonia, &, Belarus garrison, it will allow a major counterattack, into Poland or only Uk. when the time comes.
GE. builds BB(off Berlin), fighter, &, 7 troopers. In Africa trooper in Nigeria goes to Kamerun. Forces from Prussia & Silesia invade Poland. Trooper & gun left to guard coastline of Prussia, &, same to follow up as a backup army to take out undefended Russian provinces, while fighter flies from Berlin to Munich. Trooper & 3 guns go from Hanover to Munich, also 5 troopers from Berlin go to Hanover.
Battle 29 troopers, 7 guns, &, fighter, versus, defending Russian trooper. The losses trooper each side, Poland has fallen!

Fr. builds transport(off Brest), BB(off Marseilles),&, 2 troopers. In Africa 2 troopers move into Gold Coast, from Fr. W. Africa, versus, GE. trooper. Losses trooper each side, Brit. colony is freed! From Marseilles 2 troopers enter Burgundy, &, from Burgundy 6 troopers, &, 2 guns, enter Lorraine. Also from Paris 4 troopers enter Burgundy, &, fighter flies to Lorraine(with trooper from Picardy enters Lorraine). Along with trooper from Bordeaux enters Burgundy, &, trooper from Brest enters Picardy.
BB & C off Rome, enter AHE home waters, no mine lost, versus, AHE BB, C, 2 subs., &, transport. Losses Allies all, &, Axis BB damaged & transport. Off London, BB enters GE. Home Waters(no mine lost), versus, GE. BB, 2 C, 3 subs., &, transport. Losses Allies all & Axis transport(Axis fleets are only defending so transports chosen as lost).
Fr. naval losses are high, but, weaken Axis fleets, for more naval Allied raids. Finally land forces enter Alsace from Lorraine. Seventeen troopers, 6 guns, &, fighter, versus, GE. 26 troopers, & 9 guns. Losses Allies all but a trooper, &, Axis 12 troopers. Alsace is contested.
Two transports go from Marseilles to off Egypt, while a transport arrives off S. France from Egypt(with 2 Brits. troopers).

Finally from Egypt, to AHE Home Waters, 2 C, and, BB(damaged by mines), versus, AHE damaged BB, C, &, 2 submarines. Losses Allies all, &, Axis C & 2 subs.
From off London, British fleet enter GE. Home Waters off Kiel, BB, 2C, transport(no mine lost), &, 2 fighters. Losses only damaged British BB left(a fighter flew back to London).
Italy builds gun & 4 troopers. Trooper arrives in Egypt from East Africa. Fleet enters AHE Home Waters of BB, C, &, transport(BB damaged by mine), versus, damaged AHE BB. Losses Allies C, &, Axis BB.

Forces in Venice enter Trieste with fighter from Rome. Battle fighter by air, by land 13 troopers & 4 guns, by sea BB shells & two defending guns fire(each side destroys an infantry), transport lands a trooper(from Rome), versus, AHE 8 troopers & 2 guns. Losses Allies 6 troopers, &, Axis all, Trieste falls!
Round Three: Italy is the brightest highlights for the Allies, but, it could be too little, too late!
AHE builds no naval units, it has lost its port, needs lots of land units to take it back. Land/air forces build gun, 5 troopers, fighter. Also forces in Russia will have to try to reach the capital, with little or no reinforcements for now.
Tries to retake Trieste, from capital 2 fighters, 3 troopers, &, gun, &, from Tyrolia 8 troopers, &, 2 guns, versus, Italian fighter, 4 guns, &, 7 infantry. In air duel, each side losses a fighter, losses Axis 5 troopers, &, Allies 3 troopers. Losses are heavy, but, the capital & Hungary are right next door, Trieste is contested.
In Uk. 19 troopers, 4 guns, &, fighter, take out defending trooper(for no lost), Uk. has fallen!
Russia should they attack, or, trade more space for time, builds 6 troopers, &, fighter. Fighter from Belarus dogfights AHE fighter over Uk., Axis fighter downed, Allied fighter returns to Moscow. Belarus garrison, sans a trooper, retreats to Moscow(4 guns, &, 14 troopers). Also sans a trooper, Livonia garrison retreats to Moscow(3 guns, &, 4 troopers).
At sea BB leaves Home Port, attacks GE. BB off Berlin(no mine lost), both BBs are lost. Sub. remains behind to guard coastal waters. At this time, the Allies rule the waves, there is no Axis naval forces on the board.
GE. builds BB off Berlin, and, BB & sub. & transport, off Kiel. Moves into Livonia 26 troopers, 6 guns, &, a fighter(leaving in Poland 2 troopers & gun, to guard the coastline), versus, defending trooper. Losses Axis none, &, Allies all, Livonia has fallen!
Moves Munich garrison to Tyrolia, of trooper, 3 guns, &, fighter to cover undefended AHE state(as the original AHE forces were used to try to take back Trieste).
Also 5 trooper move from Hanover to Munich, from capital 4 troopers move into Hanover, while 3 troopers head east, by going into Silesia. Forces in Alsace, 14 troopers & seven guns, versus, Fr. trooper. Losses a trooper each side, Alsace is uncontested!

Trooper from Picardy and 6 troopers from Burgundy move to Lorraine, while 2 troopers go from Paris to Burgundy(build up for another invasion of S. GE.).
British Empire builds BB, fighter, 2 guns, & 2 troopers. Transport from Egypt goes to Trieste drops off 2 troopers, &, from Fr. transport trooper & gun debark, along with fighter flying in from Egypt. This will allow the Italians to attack on their turn, while the Brits. build up their forces.
From Brits. E. Africa, trooper & gun, move into Sudan. Troopers from Nigeria & Kamerun board transport, &, one trooper debarks & takes over undefended GE. S. Africa!
In Canada trooper & gun board Fr. transport. Also from Picardy to Lorraine trooper & gun enter, and, from Marseilles to Burgundy 2 troopers move there.
Trooper from Wales goes on transport, ship moves off London, another trooper boards, &, both debark onto Picardy. Another 2 troopers from Yorkshire board transport, it goes to off London, both debark onto Picardy. While a third transport, leaves Wales, does the same with a trooper & gun from London.

Italy builds fighter & 4 troopers. Transport picks up 2 troopers from Rome, &, debark in Trieste, &, damage BB returns to off Rome. From Rome 2 troopers & gun move to Tuscany, while trooper from Tuscany moves to Venice. Also from Venice 7 troopers & 3 guns enter Trieste as reinforcements. Now 14 troopers, &, 7 guns, versus, AHE 7 troopers, 3 guns, &, fighter. Losses Allies 6 troopers & all Axis, Trieste is held again by Italy(while leaving Venice held by only a trooper).
Pressure is on the Axis, thy must take out Russia next turn, &, hold their southern fronts.
Round Four: AHE builds 2 guns, &, 6 troopers. Moves a secondary army, that has yet to enter Russia, to Budapest from Galicia. Also 2 troopers from capital are moved to Budapest.
Leaving behind 2 troopers in Uk., forces enter Moscow, do or die, these troops can never make it back to help in the southern front. Twenty-one troopers & 7 guns, versus, Russian 2 fighters, 7 guns, &, 39 troopers. Losses Axis all but for one trooper, &, Allies 11 troopers.
AHE has its foot in the door, it is up to GE. to finish kicking it in.
Russia builds 6 troopers. Submarine joins Fr. submarine off Berlin(no mine lost), stays submerged, does not engage GE. BB. Trooper from Tatarstan , &, trooper & gun from Sevastopol, enter Uk. defended by 2 AHE troopers. Battle Allies lose one trooper, &, Axis all, Uk. is freed. In Moscow the garrison, versus, lone invading AHE trooper, no Allied lost, trooper destroyed, capital is Axis freed!
So far AHE Grand Army has done what France did a century earlier, left its army bones rotting in Moscow, will GE. do the same.
GE. builds C off Berlin, fighter, tank, &, 6 troopers. Moves Tyrolia garrison of fighter, trooper, &, 3 guns into Venice, defended by one Italian trooper. Losses Axis a gun & Allies a trooper, Venice has fallen, hopefully takes pressure off AHE. Fighter flies back to Tyrolia, &, 5 troopers from Munich enters Tyrolia. Also another fighter from Kiel flies to Alsace(while another fighter flies from Berlin to Kiel). Along with 4 troopers from Hanover enters Munich.
From Silesia 3 troopers enter Poland, &, 2 troopers & gun from Poland enter Belarus. Battle 2 troopers & gun, versus, defending Russian trooper, losses a trooper each side, Belarus has fallen.
Forces in Livonia, except for 2 troopers, enter Moscow. Battle fighter, 6 guns, &, 25 troopers, versus, Russian 2 fighters, 7 guns, &, 34 troopers. In air duel Axis fighter lost. Losses Axis 24 troopers & a gun, &, Allies 13 troopers. Moscow is contested again, even if allowed no builds for Russia because the capital was contested earlier by a lone AHE trooper, Axis losses would have been 23 troopers.
The Axis do not have in the near future, any forces in the pipeline, to try to take Moscow(even thought GE. is worth 38 IPCs).
France builds fighter, tank, 4 troopers. In Africa trooper leaves Togoland and heads for N. Africa, while transport off Egypt heads for Red Sea. Another transport arrives off Canada, and, one leaves Canada with Brit. trooper & gun, for Picardy. Finally another transport leaves Trieste for Egypt, &, BB arrives off London.
Five troopers & gun from capital enters Burgundy, &, enters Lorraine from Burgundy two troopers. Forces leave Lorraine & enter GE. Alsace, 15 troopers & 2 guns, versus, GE. fighter, 7 guns, &, 13 troopers. Losses Allies 10 troopers, &, Axis 7 troopers, Alsace is contested.
British Empire builds fighter, trooper, gun, BB, &, submarine. Canadian trooper & gun board Fr. transport. In Sudan trooper & gun, and, Egypt trooper board Fr. transports. Also off GE. S. Africa trooper boards transport, heading for Trieste.
Five troopers & gun in Picardy, &, 2 troopers in Marseilles, enter Lorraine. Along with off London, 4 troopers & 2 guns board & debark three transports, onto Picardy. Also trooper & gun, debark onto Picardy, from a Fr. transport.
Battle from Lorraine to contested Alsace, 2 fighters, 2 guns, and, 4 troopers, versus, GE. 9 guns, &, 6 troopers. Losses Allies all & Axis 5 troopers & gun. For the Allies it has become a war of attrition, GE. cannot sent to Alsace forces to equal the Allies, already the precious GE. guns outnumber the infantry. So the losses are just able to the British.
Transport leaves waters off Trieste and heads for India. Forces in Trieste enter Venice, fighter, gun, &, 3 troopers, versus, GE. trooper & 2 guns. Losses Allies a trooper, &, Axis 2 guns, still contested.
At sea the fleet off London, enter GE. Home Waters, 2 BBs(one suffered mine damage), C, &, 2 fighters, versus, GE. BB, sub., transport, &, fighter. GE. fighter wins air duel, losses all are lost, both sides. The threat of any naval landings on British Home Islands are eliminated(as London was the only sector, with forces in it).
Italy builds gun, &, 4 troopers. BB goes back to Trieste, from off Rome, to protect transport. From Tuscany to Venice, enter 2 troopers & gun, versus, defending GE. trooper. Losses trooper each side, Venice is freed!
From Rome 2 troopers move to Tuscany, &, 2 troopers are move by transport to Trieste. Finally from Trieste 7 guns, &, 7 troopers, enter Vienna, versus, AHE 9 troopers, 3 guns, &, a fighter. With a fighter from Rome, it was lost in air duel, losses Allies 5 troopers, &, Axis 8 troopers & a gun. The capital is contested!, the Italians could have taken Budapest, but, contesting the capital puts a lot pressure on the Axis.
Peace breaks out! For GE. Alsace is a bleeding ulcer, hard to get forces down there, also the need for a navy(to prevent Allied landings, sucks up allot of funds), plus in all of Russia there is only 6 troopers! The 5 guns & trooper, in Moscow will never take it(especially with Russian 26 troopers, 7 guns, &, 2 fighter defending it)! Along with a new front in Italy to help the AHE. Finally the only naval Axis units of a BB & C, are hard press to hold out against Allies 3 BBs, 3 sub., &, 10 transports.
AHE has no forces in Russia, needs its Budapest garrison to go to Vienna, to get Italy out of there, but, will not be able to prevent Russia from seizing Galicia. Both Axis powers face a resurgent Moscow that will go on the offensive, when their armies are already stretched to the limit in S. & W. Europe.
The Allies like the British have retaken back their lost colonies, Fr. is still contesting Alsace, Italy got back Venice, &, Russia took back Uk.
A moderate victory for the Allies(a full military one would take a few more turns), the Axis pull out of Moscow, the Allies out of Vienna. GE. pulls out of three Russian provinces, and, the Allies pull out of Alsace. In return the Allies keep two of the GE. colonies(as always Russia sells her share).
Finally the Axis navies are restricted to their Home Waters, free passage for the Allies, &, Prussia is made a independent nation again. The Allies help Russia rebuild, the Axis help each other.
Losses of units in IPCs: Axis troopers 105 & Allies troopers 91, guns 17 & 13, fighters 5 & 7, transports 3 each side, subs 9 only Axis, Cruisers 3 & 8, BBs 3 & 5,
Actual IPCs in cost: Land Axis 383 & Allies 325, Air 30 & 42, Sea 129 & 150.
