Round: Early 1944 (Round 9)
Eastern Front:
This turn was very exciting! Due to a careless defense of the Allied player, the Germans tempted fate and attacked Moscow. Even though the odds were not completely in their favor, they decided to risk it and hope for good dice to turn the tide. After a very suspenseful battle, all that was left was one German Waffen Panzer - and therefore Moscow was conquered.
However, the Russians had enough stuff to take it back. Still, their money was ceded to Germany - and therefore the Germans have a stack of 104 IPCs in their hand.
Numerous German reinforcements are moving towards the east, while UK tanks and Allied fighters start moving into Russia, to help defend.
Mediterranean:
UK tanks started massively maneuvering to the Middle East, to recapture the Oil Fields, as well as reinforce Russia. They retreated from Cairo so that the lone Italian artillery couldn’t suicide attack - and therefore disallow a German Takeover of Italy. The artillery then captured empty Egypt - including the Cairo factory.
Atlantic & Western Europe:
Allied troops started their first landing on Mainland Europe. First, the Americans attacked Normandy with all their ground units and air power and managed to take it with their air force and one elite remaining. Then, the UK attacked the Axis surface fleet in SZ 112 with 8 fighters, destroyed it without any casualties, and reinforced Normandy with as many fighter and land units as possible. Almost all IPCs are spent on the Western side of the board, to have the best chances to slow down Germany and win the game.
Pacific & Asia:
Allied air units start flying towards Russia because they are not needed anymore in the Pacific. Almost all Japanese territories and islands have been captured, including the Carolines.
Income Totals:
Germany: 47 / 69
Japan: 8 / 16
Italy: 24 / 37
USSR: 21 / 21
US: 59 / 98
China: 21 / 27
UK: 57 / 68
ANZAC: 29 / 39
Axis: 79 / 122
Allies: 187 / 253
Edit: Due to a misunderstanding of the rules, the income level of France was not included in our game when totaling the Allied income. When adding up the French income of 7 for this turn, the total Allied income level is 194 IPCs, therefore, this game has ended in an Allied Economic Victory.
