General 6 Stars 1941 WW2 Game
-
@SS-GEN Yeah I did… but the Germans have so much… LOL… Honestly I will have no idea how it goes until I play to be honest;… Seeing troops on a board and write ups is one thing–its how they play is another… You know how that goes… Are you playing Germany? Or Italy?
-
Italy. Justin Germany. Dan May take over Italy
-
@SS-GEN Has Justin played Germany before? Or will it be his first time?
-
Ha ha. He’s played Ger many times
-
@SS-GEN Ah, Ok, that is good… Then it will go faster than if someone new was playing Germany. I may talk to Carl about getting there earlier so him and I can look over the board a bit - Europe - to have an idea what better to do. You ok with that?
-
Come when ever you want
-
@SS-GEN Ok Ray Thanks… Is that gentlemen coming from KC? to play? Off to eat.
-
Nope. Month or 2 yet
Tip. Hold Moscow. Abandon Stalingrad last min if need to. With LL and allies in Europe Ger can’t defend it all -
@SS-GEN You mean I can’t go all out for Berlin!!! HAHA… yeah I know… but I want Justin to suffer!! LOL

Enjoy the latest photos from the front! The result was an Axis victory – live from the General’s Fortress in Kenosha, Wisconsin!
Unterseeboot! German subs dominate the Atlantic…
Britain’s Royal Air Force based in London.
Brits (foreground) are on the move in the Mediterranean as Japan (background) contemplates action in the Pacific.
Brits take Gibraltar and eventually drive the Italians out of Africa!
Showdown in the Pacifc between USA and Japan…
Chinese Nationalists and Communists unite as Japanese aggression reaches their cities.
German invasian force of Moscow in Turn 5. The Luftwaffe decide the fate of Russia in this battle.
Despite being badly outnumbered by German air, Russian defenders put up a valiant defense.
In a short-lived moment of survival, Russia retakes Moscow but is later crushed by Axis forces.
As Moscow falls, U.S. and British forces prepare to liberate Paris.
Italy (left) and Great Britain (right) prepare their troops for battle over Paris.
Italians rally to counter the Allies’ attack on Paris but fail despite a stubborn and dogged defense.
With Paris liberated, the French rebuild their economy toward the Allied war effort.
Anzac forces dig in as they wait for the inevitable Japanese landing.
As Java and Sumatra falls, combined land, naval, and Japanese air forces lay their sights on Calcutta, an important victory city.
Alas, the War is broadcasted live around the world on Twitch.

Awesome pics again !!!
Pretty much the pics tell the story. Germany this game bought a few more mechs and art and more planes than tanks for Moscow. Russia rolled good on defense too. At least we saw Moscow being retaken but as mentioned the planes were just to much. The Russians couldn’t get 10 more ground to Moscow to help defend due to lack of transporting troops event card.
Plus for there Lend Lease they only got 2 mechs and 1 SPA to Moscow also. Got 2 more mechs on turns 4-5 and only help retake Moscow. If they would of gotten figs and or tanks for the lend Lease that would of been some help to defend Moscow.
I think Russia is fine and has a good chance to hold Moscow with no allies help allowed. Don’t see games out there for that.
If the Allies could of gotten to Paris a turn earlier would of been a big help but had to deal with 15 German subs out in the Atlantic
with US and UK also paying a Atlantic Ocean Icp penalty with convoy raids too.
Paris did fall and there was the battles back and forth for it.Italy went a different direction this game and were kinda weak but UK made a few mistakes and US on the Europe side.
I felt UK spent to much money in Africa and Troops should of not gone to N Africa but just me based Italy’s moves.Japan took Midway turn 1 and got 2 3 Island Group NO’s and took I think 3 Coral Sea islands for 2 Island group NO’s and took away 1 US 3 group Island NO. This of course makes US and Anzac have to come and get these islands back to deny Japan the Bonus money. But in the mean time they went for Dutch Islands Oil victory bonus points and for the money after they lose the 3 Island Groups NO’s. US made a fleet park Mistake while this was happening around East Indies I believe and got wiped out.
At least we got to see Paris Liberated to finalize a France rule and Moscow liberated just to take away 3 victory points from axis and hope for allies doing something too but couldn’t so just delayed the outcome a turn longer. Viva Germany !!!
Will be posting the tweaks for next game.
Thank You very much “General Fortress” players for making this all happen !!!

A few piece tweaks.
Cruiser cost goes from 9 to 10.
Spa is now C5 M2 AD@4 and if roll is a 2 or less can pick a tank. No tank, defenders casualty choice.
This is for a tank destroyer not being in game so we gave SPA a combined piece. Some won’t agree but
not adding any extra pieces to game yet. So get over it.
The Tac/Dive bombers always bothered me where they should only get a bomb or torpedo drop on first round
of combat and then continue to AD at a lower value with there plane guns only. Also we have to put in a different rule for
Tac/Dive attacking subs and AA guns only. So this is what were going to use next game.Tac C8 M5 / Dive C8 M4
Both
AD@6 first round only. Can pick target.
AD@4 for rest of rounds of combat. If roll is a 1 get a
DF plane kill too.
Can single out attacks on subs and AA guns @3 only.I know the @3 for some is an issue but then the subs and AA guns will never survive
at a attack @6. At least subs are surfaced submerge and hard to see in water some what
and with anti gun fire going on may make the accuracy of planes off.Paris liberated rule now. Place 6 French Inf in Paris. Then if Paris is still owned by allies add 2 French inf per turn.
1 NA tweak each for Russia, Japan and US.
Different countries ships together in fleets being attacked get to use each Admiral they have for missed Re rolls.
This goes for ground troops with Generals also.SS OUT !

@SS-GEN Question: If the SPA rolls a 2 or less, does the attacker get to choose the tank hit, or does the defender choose which tank is hit?
-
@ghr2 said in SS GEN's 1941 Global War Game:
@SS-GEN Question: If the SPA rolls a 2 or less, does the attacker get to choose the tank hit, or does the defender choose which tank is hit?
The attacker gets to choose the tank.
Also a defending SPA rolls a 2 also gets to pick the Tank

New Event Cards for Fec and Anzac

Very nice map. I like how it added additional spaces to the Russian front. I put that on my recent custom built map.
