That’s a better idea, especially since Japan is usually somewhat stretched to the limits on their declaration of war on the US.
Global 1940 & 1943 Expansions Game Reports
-
Yes - Celebes should count as “4”.
I’ll correct that in the Rules Clarification - and the Updated Rulebook for Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion.
Thanks for question:+1:
-
@the-captain yea I remember it was talked about before but wasn’t sure. Cool a +1 add is easy enough to keep track of.
-
Is this the end for the Reich ?
Yes. Yes it is.
-
Allies still 4 bucks short. Gd trprt shot down Escorting ANZAC Bmbr in Celebes so my two trannys had to retreat. Woulda ignored them but they had an Escort that needed to be offed.
That 4 bucks woulda sealed the deal. Oh well, another 6 months to beat up on those sneak attack bastards some more.
-
Get the Alps national redoubt ready. We’ll fight in Austria!
-
Wish you didn’t answer your rhetorical question. I would have said, “No, it’s not!”.
-
Help Japan! Make the Allies walk (or sail) into a trap! For Japan!

In round 5, the axis balance was 55-45%
Butt Japan waited to long to invade Russia. -
Sad!

@cornelis-post Nice report. Sweet photos ! Did Germany consider taking Italy over ?
-
Yes, in the last round Germany took over Italy.
In the previous rounds Italy could not retreat his troops from Africa because a allied blockade, in the Mediterranean Sea. -

yea I’ve just been sending them on suicide attacks if necessary to kill em off. It’s a little bit of a burn with no more can openers but that extra turn basically with them can do some major damage.
Anyway, thanks again for a Great Game Report and pics. Looking forward to more :)

With ones of Axis victory!

Army Group South in Rostov has its core build up around 1st Panzer Army and 1st Waffen-SS Army - and is the German Main Stronghold on the Eastern Front.
In the Atlantic, the German U-Boat units are scattered to avoid destruction - and to disperse Allied Naval units.

@the-captain sweet ! This is a great 1st turn report for the Eastern Front. I can see where you retreated and where you concentrated. Excellent :)
Edit
What is the unit in S France ? It looks kinda like an aaGun but the ones in W Ger look different. Also the Bmbr in Yugo looks different as well. I assume the small planes in w Ger are Ftrs and the larger one a Tac ?Edit 2
Oh the Yugo is a Air Transport ? -

Oh the Yugo is a Air Transport ?Though there was no air transports. Paratroopers just moved. Unless there their for non combat flights ?
-
Never mind. See AT in non only now. Don’t know why it’s not doing combat to. Oh well
-
So if I have 2 inf in one of the 4 territories for Atlantic wall I can build 1 AW and 1 fort. Then 2 inf defend +1 and the AW gun gets a defense roll of 3 ? Cost would be 1 icp each.
Better of getting the AW piece. 2
Inf defend +1 and 2 AW units defend @3 each.So the only difference with a AC fig can move 4 and land on ground. But a naval AC plane can only move 3 and can’t land on ground ?
