I’ve played some REALLY good games of global,
But honestly, my best game was a 1940 europe game, against Canuck12, F2F, I think it went into the 22, or 23rd round.
Canuck is a solid opponent who knows what he’s doing, the dice were with him I’d say 55% to 45% for me, but he made a few more mistakes/misjudgements (Not that I didn’t either) - I’d say mostly experience made the difference.
Anyways, Axis did poorly G1, and for the hell of it, did a neutral invasion G2, the british overconfident, amassed their fleet off Gibraltar. But with the capture of Spain, neglected to realize the convienience of this landing location, the brits were DECIMATED. It was tit for tat from there, alot of battling for the middle east,
The game saw such crazy things as
- A Major in Norway
- Airbase in Spain
- A USA that got stiff armed out of the meditarrean by cheap moves and creative logistics until US #9
*A minor in West India, which beat the hell out of italy, until falling in a chess like rook capture manuever by Italian movement through the suez, threatening WIN and SAF at the same time.
*German light SBR of Russia
*Russian Airpower checking and threatening Italian navy
*EPIC German fail on the eastern front Turn 15, recovered somehow.
*Italian SBR of GIB naval base, to block American Capital Capture of ROME.
*A FAT American navy with 16 FULL transports, floating around in the mediteranean Unloading into Russia for the Bitter end.
*Over 12 turns of -par income- within 5 IPC’s axis vs allies.
*Hundreds, literally HUNDREDS of IPC’s down the drain due to sub interdiction
*French fighter can-opener BLOCK by the allies, royally screwing the German advance/recovery of the middle east 3/4 way point of game.
*Back and Forth so tightly, until the last turn of the game, it wasn’t clear who would win.
*France and Russia Entirely removed from game board in last turn.
*Huge American Navy TRAPPED in the Black Sea for the rest of TIME!
And in finale… The Axis about to put their final push into Moscow, over a MONTH of play, made a mistake… a corrective move was asked for -and granted by Canuck12, though even then there was still a 50% odds battle for Berlin that went unseen.
Germans take the Russian Capital for the win with 1 armor and 3 planes, from an attack value of almost 200. Allies Surrender.
France NEVER liberated :)
