General 6 Stars 1941 WW2 Game

Kind a an update on new map. Not set on land texture but maybe. Sea zones done with some minor high lights probably.

Just checkin to see how it looks so far.

Looks a bit different here compared to my screen. Ha

“Operation Travis” today. Starting setup

Well allies win even though they lost Moscow. Allies moved into Med and did some damage. But Russia can take back Moscow.
Was great to finally see Patton in Greece.

US attacked Jap fleet but Japan held out and has decent control in pacific but Germany just got to over whelmed
Great game. Got to see some new stuff.

Hey. What Atlantic Wall gun looks better ?
Have 2 types in Normandy
For me it’s like the taller one. But prefer maybe in between. Lol

@general-6-stars I like the taller one too. The barrels are more pronounced. Denmark is a good shot of it

Edit
Looks like Baltic Sea needs an Air Traffic Controller:joy:

Lol Just moved planes back from last game.

Ya rule is one gun in each of the 7 territories on setup and can build up to 3 per territory so you see max strength. Cost is 2 icps each. For each gun Defends @4 and boost 1 inf on defense +1
Can take as a casualty.

Been awhile. last game Allies won again. Have another game Jan 28th.
Hopefully get this lighter map done in time.

Wow. got map printed up. What a big difference. Its like the map only looks like a 3x6. Pics are deceiving. Well it gonna take a bit of getting used to by me and group. But now all the pieces stand out real good.
posted this setup just to show somebody here on site the piece values.

Alright. Setup on new map. “Operation Smoky” week from Saturday.

Well had a game but ended early. Have a few pics in a bit. In mean time we are adding Rangoon as a victory city to give Japan more chances of an extra point and besides there was a ton of fighting in Burma in real war which we still lack some what in game.
And added another 3 island group in Med ( red dots ) and Pacific ( brown dots ) for Japan.

Bumped Tired of stuff gettin buried.

End of Turn 1 from Saturday’s game. Wolf packs in full mode. They did win a huge battle on turn 1 against the UK fleet west of London. UK did not kill one sub with 2 BB 2 CR 2 DD 2 scrambled figs plus 2 missed rerolls for the admiral in the fleet commanding. UN REAL !
Germany first strike was way above average. That’s the Chance Germany takes.
Italy grabbing Malta and all the islands plus Germany grabbing Gibraltar for the 3 island group money bonuses.
Also US did not come out of port turn 1 which they need to do so they can hit subs on turn 2. It is what it was.
UK desert rats didn’t come out of Sahara desert turn 1 to. But we only had 4 guys so when playing multiple countries some stuff gets missed. Sucks big time but got no choice if you even want to play. 😍

End of turn 2. US moved to Morocco sz but was a non combat move with some reinforcements in Liberia. Italy went to the Middle East for oil after Germany influenced Turkey to try to get oil bonus points and income. But Uk and Russia was able to counter most of it. But not pictured is Germany will on turn 5 will go into Rostov in the North. Plus Italy went back home to get supplies and has to decide whether there going to go back in Middle East and fortify Tobruk.
UK can bring out Navy if they want but maybe to risky. Then we had to end game at end of turn 4 based on 4 players and time limits.

This is the pacific at end of turn 2 US attacked the Japan fleet and won with 7 cruisers left in coast off of Vietnam on turn 4. Japan can counter. I wouldn’t say this game over with yet. Depends on turns 5-6 in Europe.
But was great playing on new map. Bigger and brighter. Couple more changes to it and a few tweaks for Japan so now we added Rangoon as a VC and force the units hopefully to come out of Calcutta towards Burma and Middle East while keeping capital city.

Keep in mind also my game is the only one that has the India Lovejoy rule when Calcutta falls.

@general-6-stars you leave it setup ? Play some more at a later date ? Good action. I like a busy N Atlantic

Yes. I’m going to play Europe side since I was Ger and Italy. Want a check couple of different battles

Barnee

Here’s a pic on Germany’s next turn. Germans have Rostov and will get Stalingrad since Moscow can’t send most troops that way based on eastern front pressure with Raspituta season - move only 1 and there’s 34 tanks in Rostov. Italy can drop off 8-10 ground in Rostov to defend plus turkey units moving out in middle east since Turkey was influenced by Germany on turn 2.
But on Japan side it be tougher and if axis wins it will be on turn 6 but depends on pacific.

OK. Next game Saturday. After many games and trying to find that 1 more point for Japan to get and help more with the win is going to be Rangoon is a VC now. It’s Gotta bring more action to Burma. If FEC slips up than japan may get to hit Calcutta too. This may open the door a bit more for axis to get Cairo to. Depends on which ground units are gonna jump around for the triangle affect. Also open Middle East up a bit. Gives axis more options for wins.

Here’s some pics of the game. Germany up hill after turn 1. Some bad rolls etc etc. japan doing ok. US late start in Pacific. Can be costly.
Allies pretty much gonna win.
