@DarthShizNit:
tell us how it goes :-D
Just finished up another game. Axis win again, BUT it was a very unlikely win. The game dragged on for several rounds with no capitols being captured. Not even Moscow…
Turn 1: The Russians started with a moderate counter to Germany. The Germans essentially put enough into Russia to hold the line while focussing on a fleet for a KEF strategy. In this game, that boils down to buying a carrier and raiding the Luftwaffe for aircraft. The Royal Navy was dispatched easily. The UK seeing no German transports, went to help US with a KJF strat since they get an IC at Australia and India. Japan did their usual land grab for money and Pearl Harbor attack. US could only build and sit as Atlantic was owned by the Germans and the Pacific looked treacherous under the shadow of two IJN carriers and an IJN battleship.
Turns 2-4: Russia and Germany traded hordes of materiel leaving both depleted on the front lines. Germany destroyed anything in the Atlantic above water but couldn’t muster the IPCs to get to an almost empty England just yet. Next turn… The UK had a series of fantastic dice rolls which can really turn the tide in this game (stay tuned!) and had completely routed the Japanese in Asia and the South Pacific. Japan, while grabbing islands and forcing Russia to guard the back door had one key failure when trying to take the money islands… they lost! Bad dice. The US used a modified strat to get airpower to the South Pacific and took care of half the IJN while protecting their own.
Turn 5: Russia stands nearly empty. Germany has almost nothing left but is still churning out units from the factory while holding all of Europe. UK is pushing through Asia taking Japan’s money and (more good dice) have sunk the Kriegsmarine with a submarine force. Japan is turtling hoping for a miracle against the sea of green and tan descending on them in all directions. The US sees an end in sight as they revel in their KJF strat… And then it happens.
Turn 6: Germany hurls everything it has left at the unsuspecting London. A force consisting of 1 infantry, 1 armor, 1 fighter, and 1 bomber takes on the UKs 4 infantry and 1 fighter… and wins with a lone Tiger! The entirety of remaining Allied forces in the Atlantic consist of 1 UK sub and 1 US sub. Russia has no transports to help. End game.
