Jercules (Axis) vs. ??? (Moscow in 5–can it be done?)


  • Alright, nevermind, I concede.

    I thought I could get a few cheap wins with that strategy, but you defended it so well. If you think your adjustments can overcome mine, accept another game, because I’ll do the same thing once more (G1 can be up tonight).

    Always a pleasure Wheatbeer.

    Honestly, I am very impressed by the strategy (most people on this forum just don’t get SBR).

    I will give defending it another shot.  I had more luck when I really needed it than the Axis did, so I expect it to be harder this time.

    You can post a new G1 in the same thread if you want.

  • '17

    And I wouldn’t call it cheap, but definitely shakes out victory and defeat faster.  If those Far East men reach Russia with this strategy, then it’s most likely game over for the Axis.  Its crazy hard to defend London, Calcutta, and Cairo adequately.

    Also, I should note, I’m getting married this weekend, so after tonight, I might not get back to it until Monday or later.

    But I will keep an eye out for scrambling orders tonight and I might be able to get USSR1 in too.


  • Congratulations!

    Also, congrats on getting married (lol, kidding  :wink:)


  • G1 - 30 IPCs

    PURCHASES
    -1 AB, 1 Minor IC (27)

  • BTW, while I’m figuring this out… is it possible for Italy to blitz the Albania tank to Romania on I1 (while activating Bulgaria)?  I’ve never been sure, but it would be nice to have  the Italians break some ground for me against Russia

  • '17

    I don’t think it can go to Romania while it activates but I’m not 100% sure.


  • you can’t Jerc


  • Noll, always a thorn in my side!!! ( :-))
