    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:

  • @the-captain Awesome game ! Thought Allies toast after India fall but yea a lot going on still.

    Kinda brutal ivan lost urals. I always liked the free tank. That and mass produce is 4 a turn. Well not now :)


  • @the-captain Very exciting. I am eager for the end result :)


  • @barnee
    Japan made an attack against Urals at the end of Late 1945 - eliminating 7 Soviet Tank units.

    This attack put an end to the Soviet Free Tank unit.

    The Soviets have no option at this point to re-capture - and hold on to - Urals.


  • @the-captain whoa ! They dusted 7 Tanks ! That must have been a Powerful JPN Force.

    Thanks for the update. I find these reports very helpful in what others do :)

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

    This is the 5th post in the Global 1943 No. 6 Game Report.

    Players:
    Axis: The Captain
    Allies: Butch Cassidy

    The following pictures show the German Purchase, Combat Movement, Non-Combat Movement - and Place New Units in Late 1946.

    Note that Germany has once again created Army Group South.

    By now, Germany has 3 complete Army Groups:

    • Army Group North on the Eastern Front
    • Army Group South in Germany
    • Army Group Centre in Western Germany

    All three German Army Groups are massively supported Infantry units, Panzer units and Luftwaffe units.

    Germany is now organizing a new Strategic Plan for the defense of Western Front - and a massive counter attack deep into Western & Southern Europe.

    We are now waiting for the Soviets to complete their turn.

    And then Japan will reveal a new Strategy for the coming battles in Asia and the Pacific.

    German Purchase:

    German Combat Movement:

  • @the-captain

    That’s a whole lot of tanks in Army Group North.

  • 2024 2023 '22 '21

    Tomorrow from 09.15 CET the Global 1943 No. 6 Game will be finished.

    The Allies (Butch Cassidy) are preparing their final Strategic Plan - it will begin with Russia’s turn in Late 1946.

    The Germans are at the Gates of Moscow.

    The Allies have liberated most of Western Europe.

    Japan dominates Asia and most of the Pacific.

    The game is extremely well balanced - and the outcome is unpredictable.

    The Game Report will be attached to this thread asap.


  • @the-captain

    Exciting!

    Global 1943, No. 6 Game Report: Round Late 1947 and Late 1948:

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

    Players:
    Axis: The Captain
    Allies: Butch Cassidy

    The following pictures show the situation in Late 1947 and Late 1948:
    The quality of some pictures are not satisfactory - sorry for that.

    Late 1947 - Germany attacks Moscow:
    IMG_6704.JPG

    Result of Operation Typhoon:
    IMG_6705.JPG

    Game is over with the fall of Moscow, since the Allies have no options left to re-capture Moscow before the end of this round.

    We agreed to continue the game for two more rounds, since the US had built up a large attack force in France.

    USA attacks Berlin in Late 1948:
    IMG_6711.JPG

    Result of The Battle of Berlin:
    IMG_6712.JPG

    After more than 10 rounds of impressively balanced game, the War finally ends with an overwhelming victory for the Axis.

    This game clearly shows that the Global 1943 Expansion is truly one of the most balanced Axis & Allies games available.

    Global 1943, No. 7 Game Report: Round Late 1944

    This is the only post in the Global 1943 No. 7 Game Report.

    Players:
    Axis: Dark Knight
    Allies: The Captain

    In Early 1943 Germany attacked Caucasus - and formed Army Group South during Non-Combat Movement.

    A Soviet counter-attack eliminated Army Group South and pushed the Eastern Front further West.

    In the Atlantic & European sphere the Allies gradually got a foothold in Europe and cleared the Atlantic from German U-Boat units.

    In Asia and the Pacific, Japan attacked Chinese units on a massive scale and reinforced the Navy.

    By Late 1943 and Early 1944 the German defense on the Eastern Front began to collapse under the pressure from massive Soviet attacks.

    German Army Group Centre was trying to hold the line in Eastern Poland to prevent a total collapse of the Eastern Front.

    But with US forces capturing Italy, Balkans and South Eastern Europe, the German situation became severely unstable.

    In the Pacific rapid Allied offensive operations captured most islands - and UK forces from India counter-attacked deep into Chinese territories.

    In a desperate attempt to reverse the situation, Japan attacked in the Soviet Far East - but stiff Soviet resistance effectively halted the Japanese offensive, bringing an end to further Japanese expansion.

    The following pictures show the situation in Late 1944:
    IMG_6718.JPG IMG_6719.JPG IMG_6720.JPGIMG_6721.JPG IMG_6722.JPG IMG_6723.JPG IMG_6724.JPG

    With a combined Allied IPC Level of more than 200 IPC, the War ended with an Allied Economic Victory at the end of Late 1944.
