Alsch (Axis) vs Auswanderersland and JamesAleman (Allies) Alpha 2

Face to face game: after action report.

We agreed to meet again and finish this game. However, based on my experience, the allies (me) have this won.
Turn 6: Production(I kept notes of Allies builds and collection, axis from memory)
-Germany-57?,  USSR-31, Japan-23, USA-84, UK-47, India- 33, Anzac-26, Italy-20, France-0

We completed 6 game turns, Russia is pushing back Germany [IPCs=57] (Germany went USSR first), Japan is contained (collecting 23 IPCs -Japan,Korea,Manchuria, Iwo,Oki, Russia up to Yak, Formosa). USA is in Gib, UK is in Spain, and Egy; India is in Greece and Turkey, China is stacked in Jehol, USA has built twice in the Pacific, 3 turns in the Atlantic with one turn (5) placing 2 subs, cv out of the west coast and 4trn,dd,4inf,art-East coast. India has been building mech and arm since turn 2…cause I used just my starting pieces to help China and the rest has gone first towards Africa then Turkey.

He basically went Eastern Pacific turn 1 with Japan and I still tried our strat we are using this game but changed in on turn 2, because China held Yunnan (by luck) turn 1. Then he took Australia on turn 4. but failed to hold it.

Japan’s fleet is unscathed, except they added 3 cvs, and one BB is still damaged from seizing Australia on turn 4(built a dd to prevent 4 bombardments and I order the DD to ram the Yamato)- Which Anzac liberated with inf-Que and ftr-based on UKcv-z56. This left the Japanese fleet with no naval base at z62 turn 4 minus 2tac’s and a ftr…turn 6 it linked with the new cv’s at 30(wake island) after they first went to 50 Fiji. USA had landed 8 land units, UK 4 in Que (via z54 USA fleet/UK/Anzac) turn 4 after Japan took…if Anzac did not liberate on turn 4, Japan would have had one production, 2bmbr from Car and 3 air units to land on NSW vs 8 US land and 4ftr,2tac…but it did not come to that.

On turn 6 I did a neutral crush with UK seizing Spain and Turkey. Turkey took with 5 inf, 5 artillery, then noncombated 5 arm,5mech from Iraq to Greece activating it for 4 free Inf(I expect to get 5 men in Yugo next turn-I have 6 ftr,2tac in Syr, with cv,dd,ca,7trn in z81(Egy). I took Gibraltar from Italy, leaving their fllet 2 turns from Egy. It has 4 trn, 5dd, 3 ca, bb, cv, 1sub. with a CV and sub at port in Rome(west side). I did the neutral crush so my 3mech and 3 arm per turn from India did not take away USSR’s z125 NO by permitting them to get to Europe through Turkey instead of USSR.

Here is a map posted from Memory…German forces are fuzzy in USSR and Europe. (will post it later)

Highpoints:
Turn 3: USSR sub sank Germany damaged battleship in the battle for z114.
Turn 6: Free French Forces liberated Sfr.

Alsch,

JJ and I will be afk with the families this weekend, we are meeting down at his house.  Anyway, turns will be slow and probably need another day with Russia as JJ and I are installing stuff in his house - but we will probably spend half the night talking about what to do with the allies after Japan’s move.

Thank you for your time and patience!
Andy

One French adjustment/move if you don’t mind.

First turn I moved to Fca from Fwa. This turn my map shows it in Nig. Not sure whats up, but for turn 2, we want to be in Fea to keep Italy from blitzing and gaining 2 IPCs. I’ve post all other French moves as well for clarity.

France turn 2:
France DOW on Japan

To Fea: inf-Fca/Nig?
To z37: dd-z58

Map includes German moves from turn 3, to avoid my ally using the wrong map.

Reminder: all allies except Russia are at war with all axis powers, so I hope blockers do block in the Pacific.  :roll: You are going to have a lot of fun with all of those targets. Best of luck and may we each roll average.

To USSR ally: UK formally requests naval support to thwart Italian aggression at the Port of New Brunswick.
