Summer/Fall Spring 42 2E Tournament Sign-up/Rules

Before we go there let us see what happen exactly with USA versus German, the first four rounds are building phases, as USA builds up only its Navy to 2 BB(Battleship), 1 C(Cruiser), and, 7 submarines(also one fighter). The German fleet gets build up to 2 BB, 1 C, 4 submarines, 7 transports of a trooper and a gun(except one transport has a plane, not a gun), followed up by second wave of 2C & 3 subs., &, a transport of two troopers.

Mine damage lose of a German sub. & damage a BB.

Battle Sea Losses all US fleet, German lose 7 subs., 1 BB & 1 C. Land/air losses, USA all six troopers, 2 guns, &, one plane. Germans lose one fighter & three guns.

Remember Germans need transports to load up on land units that are already there(no need to buy them). Germany wins.

Now again USA versus Germany, here the US fleet goes to Africa, and, Germany sends two C & then later 2 subs. to trap the US Naval forces between them. The US spends its income on just land forces, to defend from sea invasion(Germans spend most of their income for transports and a C & a BB).

Eventually USA forces build up to 2 planes, 21 troopers, and, 6 guns. The Germans lose two subs to mine damage, but, land a plane, 13 troopers, and, 4 guns(with one BB to protect the 9 transports, more being ordered back at home ports).

Land battle with the US counterattack(so as not to have the east coast contested), all of its last units are lost. Both sides lose 2 infantry to defense shelling & BB shelling & Axis air dominates. The Germans losses are heavy, all that is left are 1 trooper, 1 plane, and, 4 guns. Germany wins.

You can repeat the above games played with US versus Austria-Hungary, with some more rounds played as AH has an IPC of only 26. Even faster game of USA versus Germany & AH, or, Germany & Turkey, or, AH & Turkey. Finally the ultimate blowout of USA versus all three Central Powers(here the only choice is allot of cheap infantry, a few guns, maybe a plane or two).

With gets us back to the only variation, where such puny US land forces, have a chance to win, USA versus Turkey. Thanks, Pellulo

@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!

@VictoryFirst Thank you, done!

A new G40 online TripleA tournament is getting setup.
