Well well well. Twitch was hacked. Tried to get back on to use but having a bit of issues so game was not live streamed. I do have a recording of game up till turn 4 or 5.
The axis conceded after 5 turns. The US went into Peking and with china doll inf to hold, Japs couldn’t take it back.
The axis started out good with Japan landing in Australia turn 1 and delaying US moves a bit closer to objectives.
Germany mean time tried to influence Turkey 4 times and never got it so they went in and attacked it to go for oil bonuses. The Germans were puppet stating pieces to Italy more than normal and by end of game Italy was making 60 icps with 3 bonus island group NO’s.
Also US split there fleet in Atlantic to draw the split wolf pack subs (6 each) to attack them and draw them from the convoy boxes I was kind a told.
Did it hurt the allies more on Atlantic side maybe as far as costs. Plus Germany had there sub interdiction NA so they were still doing 6 damage a turn against UK and US. Subs seem to survive longer in game than normal but not here to judge play.
So things looking good for axis until Japan first took out the FEC, Dutch fleet and then decided to go for Calcutta.
Took Calcutta for 2 points while I believe Cairo also fell for 2 more points but then it opened the door for USA to move to oil islands for cash and take away Japs money plus Manilla and then on next turn went up to Tokyo and landed in Peking to deny the axis win.
And after seeing pic US did take out Tokyo fleet.
UK did land in Western France and then took West Germany on there own next turn with no USA help.
Had a new player playing UK US Atlantic side and did way different stuff than normal and it was interesting in seeing what his plans were or at least some of them.
Even though Italy was King don’t mean an axis victory. Just believe Germany sent to much to Africa and it was the UK"S plan to make them do it. IMO.
Oh with Russia not really being threaten until turn 5 moved a bunch of stuff up to block Germany and left Rostov open but then wouldn’t been able to hold Rostov on Russia’s counter turn. Axis still had the oil bonus from taking the southern oil and Cairo’s oil.
SO in the end here it was a very good game and it flipped 50 % on later turns.
Here’s pic of game at end of turn 5.
