TT 20 Oberkommando BrAeV (X) vs Wizcats (A) +12 BM3

Next Italy attacked by Germany going through Switzerland…

Round One: Germany buys 1 Cruiser & 4 transports, takes Switzerland, for a lost of one trooper each side. Italy buy a plane & sub., transport brings home trooper & gun from N.Africa, and, concentrates troops & guns at Piedmont.

Round Two: Germany builds for an attack on Piedmont, buys four fighters & BB, &, Battle Fleet sails for Med. Sea. Italy buys two subs. & transport picks up trooper in E. Africa,

Round Three: Germany builds C & 4 troopers & three guns. New BB joins transport fleet. Battle fleet enters Med. Sea and attacks Italian Fleet(both sides loses a BB & C & 4 German & 3 Italian subs). Both naval forces are wiped out!

Even thought not all armies are together, Germany attacks with one plane, 6 guns, & 15 troopers, against Italy’s army of 1 plane, 6 guns, 20 troopers. Losses for Italy 8 troopers, &, Germany losses of 1 plane, 14 troopers, and, five guns.

Italy buys a sub. & three troopers. Destroys the invading German trooper & gun in Piedmont, for a lost of an trooper. Her transport is coming back with a trooper from East Africa.

It is a hard choice, but, the the once Axis partner, gives the political victory to Germany. Rome is defended by four troopers and a sub.(A German fleet of a BB & 4 transports, of a gun & trooper each, is coming in the Med. Sea to take out Rome or her home islands, and, now non defensive colonies, much less Albania. Also a German C is just behind the transports). Also the second wave of Germans due to invade Piedmont, have 4 fighters, 8 guns, and,35 troopers(much less a third wave of just only 8 troopers & six guns), against a Italian fighter, 6 guns, and, 12 troopers.

If Germany had waited for round four to invade, with the combined first and second wave, Italy would have gone down(losing all her forces in Piedmont). Better to settle for a political victory for German, than let the “Huns” overrun Italy.

IPC loses in material are Germany 123 & Italy 69.

@VictoryFirst said in 2025 Classic tournament round 1 Gamerman01 v VictoryFirst (Axis):

in the end it worked out beautifully.

I had lucky results in China J1, and again against the Japanese battleships and loaded carrier off French Indo China

The Japanese fleet was more important than normal because only one factory was built

Very gracious, thank you!

@Martin Yes the “miss” on my part was using Japan’s bomber offensively when it could have at least NCM’d from Manchuria -> Germany to give one more HP to the units there. That might have made some level of difference in the final fight but in hindsight, once the UK air got as many kills as it did it was unlikely that Germany was going to survive.

Good luck to you as well!

@VictoryFirst Thank you, done!

Unpinned - because of inactivty.
