Karl7 allies over Argothair

We finished this one face to face last night over a bottle of good wine!

Argothair

@Karl7 It was an interesting game! Germany helped Italy take a pair of British factories in the Middle East with an airbase in Yugoslavia, and was able to take Leningrad early by sending two transports into the White Sea. Almost immediately after we switched to in-person play, I missed an American can-opener in trans-Jordan, with the American transport coming from Gibraltar and the American bomber coming from India to let British tanks from Egypt into Iraq, shutting down the factory. Meanwhile, the Russians went south to help make sure the Middle East fully converted to the Allied point of view.

Germany attacked an Allied beachhead in Normandy with 3 inf, 1 mech, 2 art, 2 ftr, 2 tac, and 1 strat bomber against 7 inf, 3 aaa guns; my battle calculator says that’s an 88% win chance for Germany…but the Allies scored 3 hits on their AAAs and then hit with 5 out of 7 infantry, virtually wiping out the German forces in one round. The Germans only scored 4 hits on 11 dice, so the Allies survived with a large beachhead.

That left very few options for the Axis – I tried hitting a Russian squad in Vologda with 1 mech, 1 tank, 1 ftr vs. 3 infantry, but that also got wiped out in one round, with all 3 defensive infantry hitting. That stopped me from moving in a stack of mechs, which stopped me from threatening Moscow.

I also tried hitting the main US Pacific fleet with the Japanese, probably at somewhat below 50% odds, but that was also a disaster on the dice – sometimes the dice just hate you!

I had fun anyway, and I will always cherish the opportunity to have repaired a damaged Italian battleship at the captured naval base in Singapore.

This was the last league game that I intend to play for quite some time; daily sessions of 1940 Global have been fun, but have been chewing up much more of my time and attention then I prefer to spend. If you’re passing within an hour of San Francisco and want to play a game in person on the weekend, let me know, and otherwise I hope to see some of you at Bloodbath 2020, the Bay Area Invitational Tournament (BAIT), and/or Gencon 2020. Thanks for all the games, and have fun!
