Well we got the game in finally after at least 14 months as a group. The Axis conceited on turn 7.
Germany did take Moscow with 12 tanks left and Russian fighters retreated so they would have some kind of air power to defend Stalingrad and maybe do an attack here or there.
In the mean time Germany wolf packs with sub interdiction NA kept UK from building a Navy for the extra turn or 2 so he could blitz to Moscow and delay US invasion.
But then UK and US liberated Paris and then did a joint strike on West Germany and taking it. Germany did retake but only has 1 tank there before his placement buys. But axis conceived as of then based on Japan could not help based on losing 3 victory cities.
In the mean time Italy was making good money and at times had all 3 island group NOs for 15
Icps with 1 bonus victory point for control of all 7 islands in Med.

On the Pacific side looks like Japan didn’t get the oil money Dutch islands soon enough and the US with Anzacs help was able to hold HK and get back Manila and Singapore denying an axis win. It also looks like Japan was going for Hawaii parked up by Alaska but US Hawaii fleet attacked his 3 Carriers and destroyers. SO instead of a Midway battle it was a Alaska battle.
This game Allies can still win losing Moscow and if Germany gets bogged down up to Japan to help get win.

So I’m not here to talk about anybody’s play. It was just great to finally play as a group again and hoped guys enjoyed playing.

Russia was able to hold Stalingrad which was tested in game again. Only thing was Germany just got better dice last round of combat for Moscow other wise he may have had only 6 tanks left or if planes were taken as casualties maybe a few more tanks in Moscow. He had to get planes back for invasions.

Thank you guys again and also for showing up for a great game. Ya Vid is good to go.

Dan great vid too. Next game July 24th. “Operation Coalition” !

Here ya go Captain. New Normandy change.

Couple changes to bombers in game.
The stg bomber will be called the Medium Bomber now. It will be
C9
M6
A3@5. First round drop only.
D@2
SBR 1d6
DF@1

Stg Bomber
C11
M7
A4@5 First round drop only.
D@3
SBR 1d6+1
DF@2

Can hit all facilities.

All facilities have a built in AA gun.

Also UK NA Lancaster bombers if they get go to A4@6

US NA Super bombers is now C12 M7
A5@5 SBR 1d6+2. D@3
Can only start building on turn 4.
Only jet figs can intercept them and AA gun only D@1 against them.

Well only change I made was the H Bomber carpet bombing land based on hitting all kinds of resources. Plus a bit more payload drop.
Ya your probably right with UK bombing land in Europe and knocking Germany income down too much.

I’ll remove that rule. I’ll edit my post.

As for Med Bomber that stat has been in game now for 3 years so there will be no change on damage. But I’ll bring up the damage values with group and see if we go to 1d6 and 1d6+1.
