We expect to be able to invite the Canadians to Denmark for the Late 2023 Axis & Allies Wiking-Con.

Global 1943, No. 6 Game Report: Round Early 1944:

This is the first post in the Global 1943 No. 6 Game Report.

Players:
Axis: The Captain
Allies: Butch Cassidy

Germany:
From Early 1943 to Early 1944, Germany is re-organizing all Combat Formations on the Eastern Front. This maneuver includes a withdrawal from the most exposed positions.

German Waffen-SS Panzer units and 2nd Panzer Army holds the line in the Novgorod area but are soon forced to withdraw due to a massive Soviet offensive into Belarus.
Army Group South breaks through the Soviet positions in Caucasus - and continues the offensive into the Middle East.

Soviet Union:
The Soviets exploit their superior number in boots and launch offensive operations.

Japan:
The offensive operations continue deep into Chinese territory.
In the Pacific, the Japanese Navy keeps the initiative and continiously launches counter attacks against the advancing Allies.

United States:
In both the European and Pacific Theatres US forces are advancing with massive suppport from both Naval and Air units.

United Kingdom:
UK forces constantly fight against German forces in Africa and the Middle East.
The advancing German Army Group South is unstoppable - and threatens to overrun the Middle East - and threatens India.

This is the situation in Early 1944:

Global 1943, No. 6 Game Report: Round Late 1944:

This is the second post in the Global 1943 No. 6 Game Report.

Players:
Axis: The Captain
Allies: Butch Cassidy

Germany:
In Late 1944 Germany re-captures Stalingrad with Waffen-SS Paratrooper units supported by 3 Paratrooper units - and take out 50 % of the Soviet Red Air Force in the surprise attack.

Army Group South is advancing into the Middle East with India as the main objective.

The Soviets counter attack and gain more territories on the Eastern Front.

The Soviet 1st Army Group is pursuing German Army Group South into the Middle East and moving further away from the Eastern Front.

UK and US forces are advancing in Africa and the Pacific.

Japan has captured China - as well as Burma and is pushing the British forces back into India.

This is the situation in Late 1944:

Global 1943, No. 6 Game Report: Round Late 1945:

This is the third post in the Global 1943 No. 6 Game Report.

Players:
Axis: The Captain
Allies: Butch Cassidy

In Late 1944 the Allies attack all Strict Neutral Territories - in an attempt to increase their IPC Level.

Most attacks are succesfull but it takes well into Early 1945 before all Strict Neutral Territories in South America are captured.

Mongolia is now Axis friendly - and Japan takes over the Mongolian Infantry units - and launches attacks all over the Soviet Far East - bringing the Soviet economy down to a dangerously low IPC Level.

In Late 1945 the German Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS units are once again on the offensive on the Eastern Front - pushing back the Soviets towards Moscow.

The Allies have by now got a foothold in Europe - and have also re-captured several islands in the Pacific.

Japanese forces break through the Soviet defenses along the border to China - and the Soviet defense in the Far East simply collapses under the strain from continous Japanese attacks.

This is the situation in Late 1945:

Global 1943, No. 6 Game Report: Round Early 1946:

This is the 4th post in the Global 1943 No. 6 Game Report.

Players:
Axis: The Captain
Allies: Butch Cassidy

In Late 1945, France is liberated by US forces - and the French receives 4 Infantry units in Paris.
During this maneuver all original French territories under Allied control are returned to France - strengthening the French economy - but reducing the US and UK economies as well.

In Early 1946, German Army Group South attacks India - in an attempt to destroy as many UK forces as possible.

On the Eastern Front the German Army Group North has reached the outskirts of Moscow and captured Bryansk as well as several Soviet territories in southern Russia.

On the Western Front, German Army Group Centre is supported by a massive amount of German Wehrmacht Infantry units - and is positioned in Northen Italy.

Army Group South is eliminated in the attack on India - but the door is now open for Japan to capture India - bringing an end to UK reinforcements in Asia.

An overwhelming number of Japanese Tank forces overrun and capture India.

The Allies are making slow progress in the Pacific - but are constantly exposed to Japanese counter attacks.

The balance of the War is still unpredictable - even at this time late in the War.

US forces are supported by massive reinforcements in France and Spain coming from across the Atlantic.

The Soviets have a massive stronghold in Moscow - and even though the Soviet economy has almost totally collapsed, Germany must defend its own borders in Europe, due to the massive US Army and UK Air Force.

This is the situation in Early 1946:
