@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.

Well the plan for a massive armor push, from the west fizzle out. It was not till Round Three that a major breakout began to finally occur, still with plenty of distance to cover. If 3-4 more tanks had survive to Round Six, the cites of Denver(with a Laser) & Colorado Springs would have fallen.

Now if the Southern Invader would have had the forces for a massive armor push & the same house rules:

Set up for the Southern Invaders(rotated a latter game for the Eastern Invaders) the setups are changed to this:
32 Armor(increased by 20, ten from each of the other invaders)
12 Infantry(decrease by 12, six going to each of the other invaders)
03 Mobil Units(decrease by 6, three going to each of the other invaders)
05 Bombers(decrease by 1, going to the Western Invader)
08 Copters(decrease by one, going to the Eastern Invader), -along with the use of four irregular units-,
for a total of 60 regular units.
Could a massive armor push, starting in the South, knock out America faster than normal?*

*Note due to time constraints, only the final results of a massive armor push will be reported by round.

Round One: Losses Invaders 21 troopers, 5 mobile units, 10 tanks(one an old style treaded tank), 8 copters(two are old style copters), 4 bombers(one a old style medium bomber), and, old style mobile missile unit & 4 old style fighter-bombers. U.S.A. losses of 13 troopers and 15 partisans, 1 mobile unit, 6 tanks, 2 copters(one a partisan copter), and, 1 bomber(also a partisan mobile gun, partisan car, and, old style fighter-bomber). More luck of the dice, has allowed U.S.A. forces to cause massive invader losses(nearly wipe the Southern Invader off the board).

Cities taken Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Diego, &, Miami. Retaken cities San Francisco, &, San Diego. Total lost cites 03.

Round Two: Losses Invaders 17 troopers, 8 mobile unit, 7 tanks, 4 copters(one a old style copter), 5 bombers, one old style fighter bomber. U.S.A. losses 11 partisans & 7 troopers, 5 mobile units(one a old style APC), 3 tanks, 6 copters(two are old style copters), 3 bombers, &, partisan car and mobile missile unit & old style fighter bomber. Again the Southern Invader nearly wiped out.

Cities taken L.A., San Fransico(again), San Diego, Phoenix, Tampa, &, Wash. D.C. Retaken by U.S. is Phoenix. Total lost cites to Invaders are 08(from a high of 9).

Round Three: Losses Invaders 9 troopers, 5 mobile units, 11 tanks, 4 copters, 5 bombers, &, old style fighter bomber. U.S.A. losses 6 troopers and 13 partisans, 5 mobile units, 2 tanks, 4 copters, 3 bombers(one an old style medium bomber & fighter bomber), &, a laser(due to card action).

Cites taken Las Vegas, Phoenix(again), San Antonio, Philly. Retaken cites by U.S. forces Washington D.C., &, Philly. Total lost cites to Invaders 10(from a high of 12).

Round Four: Losses Invaders 4 troopers, 4 mobile units, 5 tanks, 10 copters, 0 bomber. U.S.A. losses 7 partisans and 7 troopers, 4 mobile units, 3 tanks, 5 copters, 2 bombers, laser(from Colorado Springs).

Cites taken Salt Lake City, Colorado Springs, Houston(it was undefended), Dallas, New Orleans, Washington(again), and Philly(again, it was undefended). Retaken cites by U.S. forces Salt Lake City, San Antonio, Dallas, &, New Orleans. Total lost cites to Invaders 13(from a high of 17).

Round Five:Losses Invaders 2 troopers, mobile unit, 7 tanks, copter, &, 2 bombers. U.S.A.losses 4 partisans and trooper, mobile unit, 3 tanks. This round was hard for the U.S.A. as a Eastern Forces card did not let allolw the use of reinforcement cards for the U.S.(last rounds cards that degraded laser firings & lost of a laser hurt also).

Cities taken Salt Lake City(again), San Antonio(again), New Orleans(again), Atlanta, &, The Bg Apple. Retaken city by U.S.A. Colorado Springs. Total lost to Invaders 17(from a high of 18).

Round Six: Losses Invaders 5 troopers, 2 mobile, 3 tanks, copter, 2 bomber. U.S.A. losses 4 partisans and 2 troopers, 0 mobile, tank, no air.

Cites taken Denver, Dallas(again), Memphis, and, Boston(a high total of 21 cites). Retaken Cites by U.S.A. L.A., San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, D.C., &, Boston. The use of reinforcement cards saved the U.S.A.

Total Lost to Invaders 12(from a high of 21 cities).

Western Invader controls the west(sans 3 cities & a territory) & 5 territories in the Rockies, has 10 troopers left. The Southern control 5 cities & 5 territories in the south, has 2 troopers left, &, Eastern controls 3 cities & 3 territories. Has 4 troopers & a copter cut off from supply lines & copter in Philly.

U.S.A. has 17 partisans, 3 tanks, &, 2 copters(8 lasers), the bulk of these new forces have never been in combat.

U.S.A. wins but at great cost, same political agreement as the last game, but, a greater lost of damage to the country as compared to the last game(oh well those lasers could burn up the garbage left over from the war).

@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!
