@leemorrison You’re being polite. Yes I got my bomber and some air shot down during the first two turns but I overextended very badly with Japan, mostly because I underestimated the value the tanks would give you in terms of exploiting openings in my positions.

Round Five: Western Invader attacks with theses forces of mobile unit, 8 hover tanks & 3 hover copters, &, 4 bombers, versus, U.S.A. defending with 4 partisans.
Losses Western Invaders mobile unit & hovercopter, &, losses U.S.A. all. Forces have connected with forces from the Southern Invaders, &, two bombers destroy a mobil unit & hover copter in Rocky Mountains, for no lost. Another two destroy in the south a mobile unit, for no lost(theses two bombers land in Southern occupied San Antonio).
Taken Salt Lake City.
Counterattack by U.S.A. with three Lasers only, &, defending Western Invaders forces of 8 hover tanks & 2 copters, and, four bombers.
Losses U.S.A. 0, &, losses of Western Invaders 3 hover tanks.
Retaken 0.

Southern Invader attacks with these forces 8 troopers(two from card action), 4 copters, &, 2 bombers, versus, U.S.A. forces of 3 troopers and 3 partisans, &, hover copter. Losses Southern Invader of 2 troopers, &, U.S.A. partisan.

Taken none, but, drove out forces defending Dallas & sieging New Orleans.

Counterattacking U.S.A. forces of 2 troopers & 3 partisans, hover tank, and, 3 lasers. Losses U.S.A. 2 troopers & partisan & Southern Invaders 2 troopers, hover copter, &, bomber.

Retaken none, the last three cities controlled by U.S.A. in the south, has only one unit to protect each city.

Eastern Invader attacks with these forces of 8 troopers, mobile unit, 3 copters, &, bomber, versus, U.S.A. forces of 3 troopers. Losses Eastern Invader a trooper, &, U.S.A. forces 2 troopers. From all cities in Eastern Seaboard, there are no defending units.

Meanwhile partisan defending Memphis is destroyed, &, partisan unit defending New Orleans is destroyed for no losses.

Taken none, but, many cites have no defenders, as U.S.A. forces are reduce to just a hover tank & trooper.

Counterattacking U.S.A. forces of trooper & 6 lasers, versus, Eastern forces of 7 troopers, mobile unit, &, bomber. U.S.A. cannot use its two cards this turn, due to a Eastern forces card not allowing it. Losses U.S.A. none, &, Eastern forces 2 troopers(due to lasers, 2 units are retreated).

Retaken none. Invaders control 14 cities.

Round Six: Western Invader attacks with these forces of 5 tanks, two hover copters & 4 bombers, versus, just lasers for now. Two bombers in San Antonio fail to destroy U.S. hover tank in Dallas. Forces have pretty much overrun the Rockies, on outskirts of Denver.

Taken 0. U.S.A. counterattacks the same Western forces make up with 2 troopers(from card) & 3 lasers. Losses U.S.A. none, &, Western Invaders lose their last 5 hover tanks(3 due to lasers, &, 2 due to a card), &, a bomber. The Western Invaders have just air units left, no ground forces to take cities.

Southern Invader attacks with these forces 4 troopers, 3 hover copters, &, bomber, versus, U.S.A. forces of 3 troopers & 3 partisans(from cards) & hover tank. Losses Southern Invader a trooper, &, U.S.A. a hover tank.

Taken Dallas.

U.S.A. counterattacks with 3 troopers & 3 partisans, and, 3 lasers, versus, Southern Invaders 3 troopers, 3 hover copters, &, bomber. Losses U.S.A. partisan & trooper, &, Southern Invader 2 troopers, and, trooper & copter & bomber from lasers.
Also another trooper is lost, taking out a Eastern Invader trooper & hover copter sieging Memphis. Again the Southern Invader is reduce to air units only.

Eastern Invader attacks with theses forces of 5 troopers, mobile unit, 2 copters & one old style hover copter, &, bomber, versus, 2 troopers & partisan, and, mobile unit & 2 hover tanks(all but for a trooper from cards). Losses Easter Invaders a mobile unit & bomber, &, U.S.A. a trooper & hover tank. Also in Southern Front, the defending unit(a partisan) in Memphis is destroyed for no lost. In the south is where all invaders have interacted.

U.S.A. counterattacks with trooper & partisan, mobile unit & hover tank, and, 6 lasers, versus, Eastern Invaders 5 troopers & 3 hover copters(one an old style unit). Losses U.S.A. partisan & mobile unit, &, Eastern Invaders all but for a hover copter & trooper.

Retaken the capital, &, siege of Philly and Memphis is broken.

Invaders control 14 cities(from a high of 15), all of the west(sans 2 territories), half of the Rockies Mountains area(no cites), except for 2 cities & 4 territories all of the south, zero in the plains states, &, 3 cities & 7 territories in the east.

If the game went another round, &, with reinforcements of 7 more partisans from the cards, the invaders would be outnumbered. Also having to face 10 lasers, and, with only one land unit(a trooper) most likely no more cites would fall(it would reverse as U.S. forces would be reoccupying lost cites, letting the lasers take out the remaining invaders).

A major U.S. political victory, as all invaders would leave peacefully(leaving behind their equipment, to be junked later), each side to itself to rebuild(a Marshall Plan for & by the U.S.A. & allies), a resurgent NATO(as the cards state one of the attackers was “Soviet”, imagining their was fighting between NATO & Warsaw Pact forces ), &, the political association of the invaders to be disbanded. Also with the Lasers to prod the invaders, dampens any urge for them to try to escalate the conflict to any use of N.B.C.

Finally U.S.A. laser system to be expanded, and, to be placed under U.N. control for against any alien/meteor risk from space(to be completed by 2210 A.D.).

@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!
