Global 1940 & 1943 Expansions Game Reports

@the-captain

Finally the Axis won! I can’t believe it! I was crying when I found out the Axis finally won! You’re really good at this game.

@the-captain

I wonder why this is never attempted (at least from reports): It doesn’t seem like the new rules change the politcal situation of the Persian territories. So why can’t the British just built tanks in India and move them to Kazakhstan, two turns away? They’re only two territories away from Rostov, so the Soviets won’t need to use strategic rail movement capacity to move them to the front line.

It’s Early 1947 and the War Rages on lol

@barnee Western Allies finally getting some good pressure on Germany.

Russia barely hanging on. About to lose contain.

The USA and JPN finally got it on. After trading the Philippines, the status quo remains. ANZAC continues to be a thorn in DEI.

@barnee

This looks awesome! I hope the Axis win!

The Axis Closing the Ring

@barnee

Exciting!

@barnee

Maybe give me a “photo” of how you think the German and Japanese soldiers felt seeing each other on the Volgograd Kazakhstan border.

It is Early 1953 and the Swastika Flies above Red Square

@barnee

That US tank in Finland looks different than the normal-is there a difference. Thank you!

@barnee

Great! Of this was how it looked at the start of the German turn, if they mobilise all aircraft and ships within range, they can sink the British fleet, even with an American scramble.

Game 15 was longest one yet.

Germany went after the USA fleet off GIB early. Ended up losing their Capital Ships and Strat Bmbrs. Heavy Ftr losses too. Italy did conquer though and got some extra dough but it did slow down the attack on the soviet union. Really missed those air units.

Rommel got established in N Africa and the Italians were able to support him quite well with Paras primarily.

Russia did pretty good early and had a chance after Conscription to go on the offensive. Shoulda went with a heavy Para build and blocked the Panzer Army in lenningrad from being able to counter attack against a Eastern Europe invasion. They actually had to go into the middle east and help contain Rommel when things went really south for the Brits.

JPN struggled a bit early. Fortunately Rommel kept the UK to busy to take advantage. The UK was able to support Yunnan early and trade some SE Asia TTys but never could really break out.
The USA and ANZAC kept them on the edge of losing the DEI but could never hold it.

USA spent a lot on N Africa. Rommel lived up to his reputatiuon though. Even after his Desert Army disolved, he kept the Allies at bay for another year and a half. Probably what won the war for them imo.

Anyway, ton of triplea fixes and clarifications to do.

Was way fun : )

@barnee

Awesome! That’s my Rommel!

Just starting my first 43 game. This is gonna be way fun. I haven’t made a move yet and it’s been an hour : )

I am multi tasking with the golf tournament though lol

Edit
Yea lots of possibilities here. I dig it. Almost missed that AirTrpt in Yugo. Only a dude but throw some Air and a couple Paras as well as S France Trpt, a guy could make a stand.

Don’t think I’m gonna go that way. Evacuate and consolidate in 97 most likely. Fly that PG to W Germany. We’ll see. I got sidetracked by new “Reacher” series lol

Lot of Fast Movers in France. Think they’d be better in W Germany. Norway a little light. I better send 3 LMs and a AAgun I think. Maybe a Ftr.

Gonna blitz the Panzer to Persia. Force UK to concentrate if they don’t use the 98 Trprt. Gonna send a couple Paras to Crete too.

Definitely need to fall back on E Front. See how it all works soon enough lol

Kriegsmarine still got a few pieces.

Good options. Nice setup.

Edit
missed your post typing lol

Good Action Here

@barnee OK just checked. i can only send a Inf and 3 LMs. So i guess I’ll do that and boost the wall in Norway. Don’t want to lose it yet

Better go Underground in Normandy too. I guess i’ll just shut up and play lol

@the-captain yea last test game those rockets were good at dissolving Army Groups/Armies before regular combat started if they were close to the minimum limit. Didn’t try any with Germany.
