-Due to lost files, about just under 20% of these scenarios are lost for now, including number 15. When found will try to put it back up, thanks, Pellulo

In this scenario GE. has about five rounds to take Paris, can the British Empire contain the Axis navy, take over Axis Africa colonies, &, send land units in time to France. As back up the USA will mostly send transports to Fr. & help out a bit in countering Axis naval forces(and help Fr. in Africa).
Pellulo.

Round One: Germany builds sub., fighter, gun, &, 6 troopers. Moves all naval forces, into British Home Waters, lose a sub. due to mines. Combat BB, 2C , &, 3 subs., versus, British BB, 2C, &, transport. Losses Only German BB & C survive, &, from Kameron trooper crosses over Fr. Eq. Africa & takes over the colony.

In Lorraine 7 troopers & 2 guns attack Fr. 6 troopers & 2 guns. Losses Axis 3 troopers & Allies 5 troopers, Lorraine is contested.

France builds sub., gun, and, 4 troopers. Moves two troopers via transport from N. Africa to S. France(remaining African troops move to Fr. West Africa). Two transports head for East Coast, the Med. fleet goes to join the Atlantic fleet.

Land/air units reinforce Lorraine. Battle fighter, 13 troopers , &, 6 guns, versus, GE. 4 troopers & 2 guns. Losses Allies 2 troopers & Axis all lost. Lorraine is uncontested!

British Empire builds a BB, sub., transport, &, fighter. Troopers move into position to attack GE. East Africa. Med. Fleet & transport go to south of France, &, land trooper & gun. Indian fleet & loaded transport sail to S. of France. Canadian fleet transport lands in Picardy a trooper & gun, C goes to home waters. Combat C versus GE. BB, 2C, & submarine. Losses Allied C & Axis BB damaged & submarine lost.

USA builds 2 transports, gun, &, trooper.

Round Two:GE. builds sub., fighter, gun, &, 7 troopers. Moves trooper back to Cameron, &, another takes over undefended Gold Coast colony. Again invades Lorraine, fighter(which wins air duel), 18 troopers & 6 guns, versus, Fr. fighter, 9 troopers & 4 guns. Losses Allies all but 1 trooper, &, Axis 8 troopers.

In British home waters, damaged BB & 2C versus British BB & sub., losses all Allies & Axis 1 Cruiser.

Fr. builds transport, fighter, gun & 3 troopers. Two transports arrive off East coast & 1 transport heads to Africa. Two BB & C & sub., enter British home water, versus damaged GE. BB & C(losses both Fr. BBs damaged & Axis fleet sunk).

Moves 2 troopers into Gold Coast & defeats defending GE. trooper(for no lost). British colony is freed. Moves reinforcements into Lorraine, 11 troopers & 4 guns, versus, GE. fighter, 10 troopers & 6 guns. Losses Allies 7 troopers, &, Axis 6 troopers. Lorraine still contested.

US builds transport, fighter, gun, &, trooper. Troops & guns board 2 Fr. transports, while same board 2 US transports(that sail for France with escort fleet).

Round Three: GE. has got to take full control of Lorraine, before more Brits., much less US land forces arrive, this round will decide if GE. will have to think about potential peace overtures. If possible, controlling fully Lorraine, GE. could try to take Burgundy or Picardy(not both), in the following round, with an army that is gun heavy. Traditionally that army gets cut off and destroyed outside of Paris(with GE. reinforcements unable to come to its aid, much less if GE. losses Lorraine). The other choice is to wait for more forces from Germany to arrive into Lorraine, of course by that time with 6-8 Brits. landing & about 4 US forces landing, makes the Allies defenses harder to crack. To wait one round boils down to one decisive attack & inevitable Allied counterattacks, in the next round. GE. got to go the traditional route or try something different.

Germany builds BB, gun, &, 6 troopers. More units pour into Lorraine, battle 2 fighters duel with a Brit. fighter(both sides lose a plane), 10 guns & 13 troopers, versus, Fr. 4 guns & 4 troopers, Brit. trooper & gun. Lorraine falls, all Allies wiped our & Axis losses 6 troopers.

@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!
