… Back to the European half of the G40 board…
Another intriguing possibility arising out of a significant Axis presence in South America is a pathway to an option for German Government in Exile in… you guessed it: Argentina.

@the-captain yea can do. Want them on the 43 thread ? Or triplea ?

Global 1940, No. 6 Game Report: Round Early 1944 (round 8):
This is the only post in the Global 1940 No. 6 Game Report.
Players:
Axis: The Captain
Allies: Butch CassidyFrom Early 1940, Germany launched a Limited U-Boat Offensive in The Battle Of The Atlantic.
This offensive continued until Early 1943, when the Allies gradually got the upper hand in the Battle of The Atlantic.In Late 1943 Germany takes over Italy.
The Axis powers waged a War of Attrition against the Allies.
On the Eastern Front, Soviet and German troops were constantly attacking each other - and slowly but surely, the Soviet Armed Forces were simply worn down.
In the Pacific, the Allies fortified multiple islands, which made them costly for Japan to capture.
Early 1944:
Germany:
Germany starts Mass Production of Panzer units.A major reorganization is initiated by the Germans on the Eastern Front, in the preparation for the Late 1944 Offensive.
Waffen-SS Armies are the backbone of the German Wehrmacht on the Eastern Front, and step by step they advance on Moscow.
The Soviet Union:
The Soviets are facing difficult odds - and start running out of manpower, with no other options than retreat on all fronts.Japan:
After capturing all of China, Japanese troops attack the Soviet Union - opening op The Second Front in a coordinated offensive operation with the German offensive on the Eastern Front.A large Naval assult is succesfully launched against Midway, in order to prevent the US Navy from any major offensive in the Pacific.
United States:
In an attempt to destroy the Japanese Navy, the US Naval Task Force succesfully attacks the Japanese Carrier Fleet around Midway.
After a few rounds of combat, the US Forces withdraw in order to save their own fleet from a Japanese counterattack.In the Atlantic, US Forces have a foothold in Northern Africa and Gibraltar - and the US Navy is dominating the Atlantic.
United Kingdom.
Hampered by succesfull German U-Boat attacks, the UK economy is down to around 30 IPC in each round.UK forces can no longer build up on a massive scale and are forced to defensive operations only.
In Early 1944 the overall Military and Economic Situation is hopeless for the Allies - and the Allies have no other option than to surrender to the Axis.
-
Awesome! Love that calculator! What do you use it for? That line of German markers across North Africa is definitely intimidating.
Another unstoppable victory for you. Crazy how good you are, a 90% success rate. Well done!
-
Lol, I use a calculator too! So cool you also put a sticker on it, in order to denote to which side it belongs!

Global 1940, No. 7 Game Report: Round Late 1944 (round 9):
This is the only post in the Global 1940 No. 7 Game Report.
Players:
Axis: Butch Cassidy
Allies: The CaptainFrom Early 1940, Germany launched a Massive U-Boat Offensive in The Battle Of The Atlantic.
This offensive continued until Late 1944Germany never got the upper hand in the Battle of The Atlantic since United Kingdom launched a determined Anti-Submarine Campaign against the Kriegsmarine.
By Early 1944, the German U-boat production had ceased due to severe losses.In Late 1943 Germany takes over Italy.
Operation Barbarossa was launched in Late 1941 - but was brought to a stand still by Late 1943, due to stiff Soviet resistance - and an Allied invasion of Western Europe.
Late 1944:
Germany:
By Early 1944, the German Armies were severely depleted and forced to withdraw along the entire Eastern Front.In Western Europe the Allies captured Normandy and German forces could not counter attack due to the massive amount of Allied units.
Soviet Union:
With Soviet forces stretching from Iraq to Soviet Far East, the Soviet Union was able to maintain a high IPC income - and mass produce Tank units to counter the German Army.With Japanese forces on the doorstep to Soviet territories, UK and US forces were supporting Soviet forces in Soviet territories.
In Early 1944 Soviet forces launched a Massive Counter Offensive on the Eastern Front, forcing the remaining German units to withdraw back to the borders of Eastern Europe.
Japan:
In Early 1944, the majority of the Japanese Air Force and Tank units were eliminated by a UK attack in China.
No Japanese reserves were able to reinforce the frontline units, so the last Japanese forces in China were facing encirclement and annihilation.In the Pacific Japan launched an agressive campaign against the Philippines and other Allied held islands.
Japanese losses were massive during the attack on US held Philippines, which slowed down further advance in the Pacific.United States:
The US Naval Task Force in the Atlantic was eliminated together with UK and French Naval Forces in sea zone 92 in Late 1943, by a massive German attack from the entire Luftwaffe, the remaining German U-boats and the German Kriegsmarine Surface Fleet.Losses were total for the Allies - and Germany suvived with a damaged Battleship unit a few Luftwaffe units.
By Early 1944, the US had rebuild the foundation for a new Atlantic Naval Task Force and continued the offensive against Europe.
United Kingdom:
In Early 1944, UK units eliminated a hugh Japanese Army in China - which sealed the fate of the Japanese expansion in Asia.By Late 1944, the overall situation was:
- Soviet Union had regained the initiative on the Eastern Front
- Japanese forces were eliminated in Asia and the Pacific
- Allied forces had captured Normandy and were preparing for an offensive against the German Homeland
The Allies won an Economic Victory in Late 1944 with a Combined IPC Level at 193 IPC.

That was both brutal and painful for the Axis. The moment I read you were the Allies I knew this wasn’t going to go well. It happens.

@the-captain Nice report. What type of dude is that in Trans-Jordan ? I don’t think I’ve seen it before
-
Pretty sure it’s a normal infantry.

@the-captain Nice report. What type of dude is that in Trans-Jordan ? I don’t think I’ve seen it before
Maybe a Uk elite ? Trench coat. Frenchy ?
-
@general-6-stars I think the light green ones are Elites. But yea think you’re right may be French .
There’s a couple in Tunisia too I just noticed
-
The Infantry unit in Trans-Jordan is a French Infantry unit, that has moved all the way from French West Africa during the War.
All regular Infantry (all Nations) units are color coded with a Grass Green Base.
We use Humbrol Paint Colors.
A Conversion Table is available at Humbrol to find identical colors from other producers like Revell, Tamiya, Vallejo etc.
All types of Infantry units are color coded with the base in the same color:
- Infantry: Light Green, no. 120
- Elite Infantry: Beige Green, no. 90
- Specialized Infantry: Waffen-SS, Soviet Guard, US Marines, British Commando: Steel Grey, no. 87
- Paratrooper: Blue, no. 25
-
Classic French West Africa infantry unit. :)

You are doing great!

Global 1940, No. 2 Game Report: Early 1945
This is the only post in the Global 1940 No. 2 Game Report.
Players:
Axis: Cornelis Post
Allies: Dark KnightFrom Early 1940, Germany launched a Massive U-Boat Offensive in The Battle Of The Atlantic.
This offensive continued during the entire War, with a continued high U-Boat production.The fighting on the Eastern Front was clearly marked by the massive German U-Boat production, since the reinforcements on the Eastern Front were scarce.
Nonetheless the German Army Group North & Army Group South were doing progress - slowly but surely - deeper into Soviet territory.
The Soviet Union defended their frontlines with 1st & 2nd Tank Armies, 1st, 2nd & 3rd Army Corps - and an almost unlimited amount of Red Army Conscription Infantry units - slowing down the German offensive.
Japan attacked early. In the beginning of round 3. They atackted the Philippines, Anzac and the English.
United States declared War on Japan, and they get access to the national guard. Which includes 6 infantry and 2 fighter planes for free. After the suddenly attack in the pacific. The US go for a new plan. They let the pacific behind and they are going all in. In the Atlantic against Germany.
United Kingdom was surrounded by German Wolf Packs, butt very soon the US eliminate this treat.
So they also launched an attack on Europe every round. With landing craft and paratroopers.The British economy was falling apart because of the Japanese in the pacific. They also lost all navy in round 2 including all their air units in the europe theatre.
Also Italy took Egypt in round 4 and they attacked Afrika massively.
ANZAC fought bravely - but alone without support from either United States or United Kingdom.
The Allied Nations seemed to fall apart - with no chance of getting a foothold in the Pacific. In Europe, the Germans have a very touch time. Fighting against three major nations.
Because of the massive invasions of the US and the British in Europe. The Germans must retreat on the Eastern Front.
Italy was helping the Germans on a massive scale.
In the last 4-5 rounds the Italians get 45 ipc every round.So the allies were going all in on Berlin.
So in early 1945 Russia attacked first Berlin. After that the Americans attacked Berlin with all their planes. And the last one who attacked Berlin in the same round was England.
Is was a massive brutal attack with all air units of the English and the Americans involved.Butt the Germans survived these fiersome attacks. So after this last huge desperate attack. The Allies surrenderd. Because there was no chance of winning the game after this.!!
( the white paper shows the Russian attack on Berlin.)

Very nice!

@cornelis-post Awesome !
Were you guys at the tournament/convention ?
-
@barnee, yes we played two games of axis and allies this weekend.
-
Finished the first 43 revised setup with triplea. A brief summary
yea this is looking like pretty much game over. JPN gonna get obliterated. I might play another round just to see that though lol
Not defending Normandy properly and screwing up the Takeover of Italy a rd, really jacked the axis the wrong way. Probably coulda got by with the Italy thing, but massive resources had to go West because of the Normandy failure.
Idk, might have been too conservative on E Front. Germany has to have the bullet stoppers though and it just never seemed to happen.
UK running into SE Asia was pretty much Game Over. Maybe a stronger Normandy defense allows more pressure into the caucasus.
Probably shoulda gone for the Big Naval Battle against the yanks when they had a chance. 50/50 but better odds than they ended up with.
Anyway, Fun game 🙂 Did some triplea fixes gonna start another one lol
Ok now it’s game over lol Ivan outnumbered Jerry 2:1 in Panzers in the E Front alone. While russian INF were attrited , there Panzers are overwhelming. Basically INF for russia.
They busted into china and really want to smash JPN lol
All right enough all ready. Start a new one. i’m still not 100% sure the russia taking over china thing got fixed, but it only happened in edit, so we’ll see
Here’s a a few shots
Edit
Here’s the triplea save
exp-r-6-update.tsvg -
It doesn’t look that bad yet, but if you look closer it’s awful for the Axis. I’m mentally crying right now.
