G40-02 Tyzoq (Axis+9) vs souL (Allies)

Pellulo

In this scenario Germany is the only Axis country that share its border with only one Allied Power, which is Russia. Using most of its builds for land and air forces, can its navy hold off British Empire and Italy(before they can send help via transports).

Also even if GE. takes Moscow would it be just a trade off, in order to get back those African colonies, which will probably be lost.

Germany versus Russia, British Empire, &, Italy.

Round One: Russia builds a sub., fighter, &, 4 troopers. The Russians need to beef up their navy, in order to deter any Axis sea landings. Much less assist the Western Allies fleet when they try their landings in Germany/land reinforcements in Russia. Moves all available land units into Poland, reinforces coastal provinces to deter Axis landings(and keep an eye out for Allied transports).

GE. builds 2 subs., transport, fighter, gun, 3 troopers. Moves forces to borders to build up strength, for massive attack on Poland. Leaves a few troops & a gun on coastal provinces, in case the Allies ever make a landing.

Two subs. attack Canadian C & transport off Canada, all lost both sides. Another 2 subs. attack Brit. fleet in home water(no mine damage), versus, BB & 2C & transport(both subs. lost & BB damaged & C lost). Finally BB & 2C attack Russian fleet in home waters(no mine damage), versus, Russian fleet of BB & a submarine. Losses damaged BB & C, and, all Russian.

British Empire builds fighter, transport, BB, &, submarine. Moves, with no mine lost, damaged BB & C, into GE. home waters(lost of C & GE. loss 2 subs.). From Egypt C & transport with trooper & gun to home islands. Trooper from Rhodesia, joins trooper & gun in S. Africa(for future invasion of GE. S.W. Africa). Also GE. East Africa defending trooper destroyed from BB shelling, and, landed trooper takes over colony(all from India).

Italy builds 2 transports. Her land forces will have to be transported to Russia, right now Italy needs also surface ships to help protect the transports(subs. & fighters & tanks when needed).

Italian BB & C & transport(trooper & gun) sail for Brit. home waters. Let the Brits. Indian fleet reduce the GE. colonies, if the Allies win, at least a colony will go to Italy.

Round Two:Russia does the same as in round one, uses Belarusa as a gun park for 5 guns.

GE. builds navy units more for defense, 3 subs., fighter, gun, 3 troopers, and, sends damaged BB back to port & still massing units on Polish border.

Brits. builds 3 transports, fighter, &, gun. Moves damaged BB to port, and, a C arrives. From S. Africa 2 troopers & gun attack GE. W. Africa, 2 troopers & gun, versus GE. trooper & gun. Losses GE. gun. Sea landing of trooper & BB shelling destroys remaining GE. trooper. GE. S.W. Africa falls!

At sea 2 subs.(one lost to mines) joins a C already off Poland, versus, Russian 2 subs(losses another Axis sub., &, all Allies). Also transport with trooper & gun lost to mines(they were to be landed in Poland, as other sea coast provinces, were too heavily defended).

Brits. have got to deliver, Russia defense did not go well this turn, if the Western Allies do not send relief, the game could be over in round four. Builds 2 planes, transport, gun, &, 3 troopers. Moves BB & transport to Gold Coast, BB shelling takes out a defender trooper, lands trooper & gun versus GE. trooper, losses Allied gun. Brit. fleet attacks GE. fleet off Kiel, 2 fighter, 2 BB, 1 C, 1 sub.(damage to BB due to mines), versus, GE. BB & 3 submarines. Losses Allies damaged BB & 2 fighters, &, all Axis.

No need for another round, Russia is on the ropes, Germany can take Moscow, but, probably the British Empire will take Berlin, while Italy will gobble up another German province. A political victory mostly for the Allies, the Axis will pull out of Russia(controls two and contest two provinces), the Western Allies out of Germany(contest one and controls three provinces). Poland and Prussia will become independent nations again, and, buffers between GE. & Russia. Brits. keep a GE. colony & gives one to Italy, one goes back to GE. and another to Prussia.

Losses IPCs: Axis land 323, sea 96, &, air 36. Allies land 365, sea 63, &, air 36(Italy suffer the least).

@VictoryFirst said in 2025 Classic tournament round 1 Gamerman01 v VictoryFirst (Axis):

in the end it worked out beautifully.

I had lucky results in China J1, and again against the Japanese battleships and loaded carrier off French Indo China

The Japanese fleet was more important than normal because only one factory was built

Very gracious, thank you!

@Martin Yes the “miss” on my part was using Japan’s bomber offensively when it could have at least NCM’d from Manchuria -> Germany to give one more HP to the units there. That might have made some level of difference in the final fight but in hindsight, once the UK air got as many kills as it did it was unlikely that Germany was going to survive.

Good luck to you as well!

@VictoryFirst Thank you, done!

Unpinned - because of inactivty.
