By 1943 Russia had 2-5 times as many tanks as germany on every front. 2-10 times as many planes. 2-5 times as many artillery pieces, and 2-5 times as many infantry units. Remember Germany had to send 15-20 % against the allies in the west. Norway, france, Homeland Germany, Denmark, and other occupied states, while as Russia had nearly all of its forces Against Germany since Japan was NEVER going to attack russia after it had previous battles against Russia and saw it was hopeless as well as Japan had its hands full against the other Allies. This is just Russia VS. Germany. The allies (UK, Canada, and US) had 10 times as many tanks as Germany and 10 times as many aircraft. Japan was equally screwed. US built over 100 Carriers in WW2. Japan had a total in the 20’s, but never at one time due to battle losses. The US built over 1,300 warships. Japan could never have handled this. No matter what you say the Axis had about a 5% chance to win WW2. this only if Moscow would have gotten taken, but if you read military history you will see that this probably wouldn’t have mattered anyway seeing as how Russia moved its factories back into Siberal in the Ural mountains region. Germany never could have taken Russia due to Russia’s huge size as well as huge manpower advantage, industrial advantage, only one front to deal with, and the fact that their front lines were in Russia meaning tanks and airplanes could drive and fly strait into the battle off the assembly line. While as Germany’s front lines in 1942 were far from Germany’s industry. If the game was ever played to history allies would win 98 percent of the time with two equally skilled players IMO. This is why the game is made to recreate history sort of, while being playable so that both sides have an equal chance of winning.

Battle Boards
Again, as many of my chart are drawn they may not be for advanced players. They may find them to busy, however I designed these to be used by less experienced players; they have all the combat rules on the boards to include special rules like art support of inf/mech and Weapons Development. So it’s not only to place units for a more complex battle but also to remind a player of the rules.

Hey GrayBlaZe,
Thank you so much for these fabulous charts, and correcting all the little errors here and there. That must have been frustrating. I know that I just HATE it when I make something up and it looks all nice then I notice some little flaw and have to go back in and fix it. Really irritating.
I just printed out the newest NO chart using premium glossy photo paper and the photo enhancement setting on my printer. It looks gorgeous. What’s really great is not only did you fix all the minor mis-spells, you even made it better with cooler little pictures. GREAT JOB! -
These are great! Do I have your permission to host them on the FMG FREE download site? So they don’t disappear forever at the bottom of this forum?
PM me and let me know.

Hey Field Marshal, no problem in posting on other site, I put them out here to share…… Sorry so long in getting back to ya, I hadn’t been on here for a while.
I have another idea that I’m might post soon if there’s am intrest… It’s two documents that I use to track the game for fun and if there is a mistake you can refer back. The’re simple, I didn’t want it to be time comsuming. One is a grahpic global map and I just fill in the territories as they change powers. It interesting after a game to flip through the images and watch how this changed hands and played out. The other is an exec spredsheet that tracks the powers IPC count, keeping a real time comparison of the balance of power with percentages and graphs created when the IPC numers are put in.
