Global 1940 & 1943 Expansions Game Reports

Turn 8 (Late 1943)
Hitler informs Pizza Emperor that Operation Il Duce Smoosh-ay is a failure as UK has been backed up to South Africa but with no ability to reinforce the Axis forces in Africa, Kriegsmarine South at the bottom of the ocean, and the Luftwaffe re-deployed back to Europe, the effort appears to be falling short. So Adolf says Takeover will be initiated unless South Africa is smashed immediately. Soviet Union captures Finland and Baltic States while dropping paratrooper on Slovakia. Soviet Union collects 55 IPCs thanks largely to Middle East domination and occupation of Finland. Uncle Joe is pleased. New Year’s Eve Party invitations are sent to all of those that his Commissars told him were loyal. Japan has a quiet turn by their standards; building a major factory in Korea was the only highlight. Canadian Navy attacked and destroyed Italian Navy located in SZ 72. USA warships in SZs 91/92 move en masse to SZ 104 killing the German destroyer blocking their path there and Pacific Navy is finally strong enough to move to SZ 26 from SZ 10. Il Duce’s African Army decides to attack South Africa. If we win, Operation Il Duce-Smooshe is a success! If we lose, Benito can give Adolf the news that Italy has fulfilled all of its German Takeover Obligations. Outcome: South Africa holds and takeover will be available as soon as Kraut paratroopers depart on the next turn. Churchill orders celebration by observing tea time daily for the next six months while liberating its African territories next turn.
Axis: 170 Allies: 200
Turn 9 (Early 1944)
German paratroopers attack South Africa and … lose. Soviet Union: nothing significant to report (NSTR). Japan: NSTR also. USA attacks SZ 110 in force – Kriegsmarine is eliminated. UK reclaims several African territories, Canadian Navy to SZ 79, for first time all game SRM from Johannesburg to Calcutta is now open. Italy saves all money in preparation for Takeover.
Turn 10 (Late 1944)
Germany executes Takeover, Soviet Union and Japan: NSTR, USA moves Atlantic Fleet North from SZ 110 to SZ 112 while capturing Norway. UK completes reclamation of Africa and continues annoying paratroop drops on Normandy & Holland/Belgium
Axis: 157 Allies: 205

Turn 11 (Early 1945)
All: NSTR except Germany conceding Norway to Allies shifted IPC balances again in favor of Allies. India continues to hold against buildup of Japanese forces in Burma but discussions of retreat to West India begin. Hitler worried as Soviet Union now receiving Lend/Lease bonus with Kriegsmarine gone puts them near parity in IPCs with the Red Army.
Axis: 145 Allies: 207
Turn 12 (Late 1945)
Germany: NSTR. Stalin surveys the situation and sees that the Red Army is growing in strength more than the black pieces. However India close to capitulating. His intelligence agents also let him know that the Soviet-Japan Peace Pact is now null and void. Lastly, he remembers that when he was 25 years old Japan did indeed attack Russia without warning. So he pounds his fist on the table and says, “that will not happen again!” So one Commissar and one TG move east immediately. Japan does indeed make a surprise attack on their turn, but in an unexpected direction. Yamamoto and Tojo work together to move all surface warships including SHBs to SZ 62 to bombard Sydney while IJA pours ashore to fly the Rising Sun at Sydney Harbour and imprison Crocodile Dundee and his outback friend Donk. ANZAC treasury is plundered of its 24 IPCs. IJA captures Amur and Novosibirsk in probing attacks convinced that Soviet Union is attacking them shortly. USA builds four carriers in SZ 10, sinks the IJN destroyer blockers placed around Pearl Harbor and sails to SZ 17 while Marines conquer Iwo Jima. Secret intelligence communiques pass between Admiral Nimitz and Admiral Collins, head of the Royal Australian Navy. Admiral Collins flashes an evil grin. More to follow on that later …… UK holds a War Cabinet meeting with Mr. Churchill who agrees with their recommendation to destroy the factory in India and retreat His Majesty’s Army to West India. Admiral Collins makes a daring move by sending the entire Royal Australian Navy to SZ 6 to kill an IJN loaded carrier and two destroyers at the cost of three damaged battleships.
Axis: 156 Allies: 195
Turn 13 (Early 1946)
Germany: fully in defensive posture now. Kriegsmarine non-existent, USA firmly in Norway, Soviet Union firmly has Middle East. USA submarines fully convoying in Mediterranean and assault of the Continent is imminent; yet the Wehrmacht and Luftwaffe remain strong …. for now. Soviet Union liberates its two Far East territories and moves into Tsinghai province in force.
SURRENDER! Tojo decides to surrender as the beginning of Chinese liberation combined with German struggles makes him cry. But crying is not allowed in baseball or Axis & Allies HRE so instead he surrenders.

@Trout Awesome report! We would love to play against you and your son someday. We could play a game via TripleA 😁

@Trout

Yes nice report. As Victory stated above, you can play The Expansion using triplea as well.

https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/36998/global-1940-and-1943-expansion-for-use-with-triplea

Just curious, did you use AI at all in your report ? Don’t mean to sound critical at all. I’m not real familiar with it and a EXP member @Panzerstahl-Helm did one using it recently is why I ask. :)

Thanks for the report and keep us updated for the next one :)

@barnee Thanks for the offers VF & Barnee. We have never used Triplea but if we can figure it out, then may take you up on the offer

@barnee Nope did not use AI. Only old-fashioned keyboard typing

@Trout Love this game report and the effort that went into it!

Report from Japan’s turn in Late 1947 (round 16) USA turn of Late 1949 (round 20)
Longest game I’ve ever played!

First I need to admit that I’m a bonehead! We were all so excited that the game finally ended that we immediately started cleaning up and I neglected to take any pictures - Ugh!

1947
If folks remember, the Allies looked to be in a dire situation at the end of the last report with Germany having pushed most enemy troops out of its territory and poised to make a powerful advance into Russia, while Japan firmly had 5 Victory Cities in hand and was in a position to retake the 6th city. Us Allied players held our breath while Japan took their turn, hoping that the massive US fleet surrounding Japan would focus Japan’s attention more than retaking and holding the 6th Victory City (Shanghai). Tick, tick, tick, tick, pieces move, tick, tick, tick, more pieces move…

YES! Indeed, the fleet around Japan caused him to ignore thinking much about Shanghai and, as we hoped, he committed the majority of his military power to eliminating this fleet. Between games I took a long hard look at the board and realized that if Japan used his 7 strategic bombers on the mainland, with his mainland ground troops, he could not only retake Shanghai, but likely eliminate all of the Chinese infantry to retake Anhwe and place ground troops in Shantung so that USA’s tank army would be blocked from getting to/liberating Shanghai. Thus causing the Axis to hold 6 Victory Cities and win. Thankfully Japan didn’t see this. He did retake Shanghai, but left Anhwe untouched.

The Allies make preparations to retake Hawaii and the Philippines. Japans troops are now primarily concentrated in southeast Asia, India, and Japan.

The US continues to get hammered by German Wolf Packs on the east coast, losing 20+ IPC. However, the Tank Army on the Asia mainland rolls in to retake Shanghai, while China has an income around 20 and continues placing significant amounts of infantry on the board.

UK strengthens Persia & Finland & holds West India.

1948

Taking Barnee’s advice (thank you) the US finally purchases an air base and fighters for Central America. Works like a charm with the wolf packs scattering and being chased down and mostly destroyed by fighters.

Anzac momentarily captures the Philippines before Japan quickly recaptures it. Japan retakes Korea and invades nearby Russian territories. Clearly, the new Axis plan is to focus on attacking Russia on both sides.

Hawaii is easily recaptured and the USA prepares to move troops north to Alaska so they can retaliate against the Japanese invasion of Russia.

UK continues to strengthen Persia and lands paratroopers in various German territories.

Germany makes a massive attack to retake Finland and Leningrad, but then pulls back in order to attack Russia’s Army Group with 2 tank armies and a plethora of ground troops. Russia is able to retake Leningrad and continue reforming armies that are pushed along to the front lines. Russia isn’t able to recapture Finland, but is able to kill off the few remaining troops that had succeeded in taking it back for Germany.

1949 - A Pivotal year!

Germany purchases several transports and a super heavy battleship. It looks like they may be preparing to invade London. They do leave a few territories vulnerable on the front lines with Russia though, allowing a Russian Tank Army to get behind the front lines and on Berlin’s doorstep. Not a real threat to Germany, but it’s a target they’ll need to attack.

USA navy in place in Alaska, ready to come liberate Russian territories from the Japanese invasion.

Japan builds a major industrial complex in Korea and focuses on producing troops there. They pull some troops out of India in order to combat the growing number of Chinese forces, which ends up being a crucial mistake. In a very even battle the UK takes a gamble and goes all in on attacking India. With solid rolling it results in a UK victory! Even better, Anzac takes Burma and Japan has no way to retake India anytime soon. Other territories on the mainland south and west of Shanghai are also taken from the Japanese.

The USA is about to launch their Alaskan fleet over to the Soviet Far East when the Allies see a golden opportunity. Off the coast of Japan are a few transports, (3) Aircraft Carriers, and (6) Carrier Fighters. Even better, all ground troops (even the AA gun) have been moved out of Japan over to Korea and the mainland. The only thing left in Japan are (4) Strategic Bombers. The USA seizes this opportunity and attacks Japan for the 2cd time and scores a victory! At this point the Axis surrender. The Allies have snatched victory from the jaws of defeat!

A very long, but very enjoyable game with lots of twists and turns. The Victory Cities really add an interesting element to the game. I think we’ll be taking a long break before our next game!

@mkgionet said in Global 1940 & 1943 Expansions Game Reports:

The only thing left in Japan are (4) Strategic Bombers.

What did the yanks attack with ? Did JPN activate their two free dudes ?

Fun game :)

@barnee

The yanks had approximately 5 infantry and artillary. Too bad for Japan but they activated Home Defense the first time the US invaded them - and it was probably the only reason they survived the first attack!

@The-Captain Yes, we could play with less people but having so many involved really makes for an interesting game with the different strategies people want to employ. We also are busy with so many other things that a game 1/month works out well. I really like A&A (especially with your Expansion Rules), but Squad Leader is hard to beat as a 1 on 1 military game.

@The-Captain

Wow shocking :) Did JPN DOW on rd 3 then ? Not even any AA guns ? The 2 INF and those would at least give a chance.

Victory and I both got Sealioned by Panzer last game lol

Anyway, you can get a better view with the triplea save by going through History
exp-game-7-stahl-ger-24_after_moscow_battle.tsvg

Early 1941

Germany

The Reich max produces Landmines and Goring successfully advocates for 5 Air Transports. Two more U-boats are launched with the rest of the German resources going to the Wehrmacht, including a Panzer General, along with a Waffen Oberst.

Thanks to the sinking of the UK DD blocker in 104 by Italia, Gibralter is conquered.

The 6 LCVs have moved to W GER.

Russia

With Tankograd up and running, the Soviets produce 4 T-34s and a Tank General. They will form 1st Tank in Moscow.

The Red Army Forces in Novgorod move to Karelia and now have a strong concentration there.

All Paratroopers are in Caucasus and Bryansk serves as the tactical reserve. No LMs have been armed yet, as Soviet High Command is unsure of German intentions.

Japan

Nippon produces 2 Fctrys with the rest of their resources going to the Army. Primarily Infantry builds.

They attack across a broad front in China, winning all battles.
Engineers move the Shantung Factory to Kweichow. The IJN concentrates in 6 Sea Zone.

USA and China

Uncle Sam goes with another heavy Naval build, along with a FTR and a couple INF.

New Naval construction is launched in the Atlantic. The Aleutians are fortified.

Roosevelt seizes on the threat to Britain to declare war on Germany and Italy. They now receive wartime production of 91.

China successfully counterattacks in Kansu and Shensi, preventing a Japanese ground attack against the Flying Tiger in Tsinghai for now.

UK

The Royal Navy will launch 2 DDs in 110 to prevent the German LCVs from attacking London. Italy now has 2 Bmbrs and a Ftr in range of 110 but RAF Command has 3 Ftrs able to scramble if needed.

Syria, Alexandia are attacked and Iraq is strafed. All missions are accomplished.
London is once again reinforced but India and Egypt continue to mass produce.

Italy

Italy buys a Trprt, LCV, Arty and 3 Inf. The British fleet has moved to Malta and the Italians hit it with everything they have.

They suffer a major defeat and are forced back to 97.

In a surprise move, a LCV along with a Bmbr take Scotland, killing the UK Elite there.

The Invasion of the British Isles has begun.

ANZAC and France

ANZAC builds Fortifications for Java and Celebes. They take Custodianship of Sumatra.

France moves their DD to support the UK Trprt off Egypt.

Late 1941

Germany

The Kriegsmarine repairs the Bismarck and launch two more Trprts. The rest of Germany’s resources go to the Wehrmacht and SS.

U-boats and the Luftwaffe attack the battered UK Fleet in 96 and win a Major Victory.

The 2 DDs in 110 are easily sunk, as the RAF refuses to engage the Luftwaffe.

The Main German Fleet off GIB takes all available land forces and moves to 119 deploying to Scotland. LCVs and Air Trprts move the rest of the Heer to Scotland for the invasion of England.

German precision works perfectly and Army Group North forms in Scotland.

Russia

The Soviets invest heavily in the Red Army

Stalin, seeing Hitler’s move against England, orders an unprovoked attack against the German and Axis TTys in Eastern Europe.

Finland and Poland fall, along with Bulgaria and Iraq due to Paratrooper attacks.

Japan

The Atlantic fleet moves to 91 and takes an empty GIB in their only combat.

Midway and Guam are fortified. All new Naval construction, except for a CV, are launched in the Atlantic. Army units deploy to Eastern and Central United States.

China takes a contested Shensi. The Flying Tiger lands in Tsinghai and is safe from Japanese Air except for Bmbrs.

UK

After the invasion of Scotland, the British finally wake up and max protect London with a Flak Tower, Ftr and INF. A DD is placed in 110 to prevent Bombard and LCV attacks but they fail to secure 109.

While they would have had 2 less INF for a Escort blocker and the odds would still have been in Germany’s favor, they may have been able to do enough damage to make holding it more difficult.
But, as we will soon see, that was not the case.

ANZAC and France

ANZC fortifies islands and build a Minor Fctry for Queensland.

France doesn’t do anything.

Early 1942

Germany

The Reich spends all it’s money on the Army. A massive attack on England is launched. Army Group North from Scotland, Luftwaffe units and shore bombardment from the Bismark, devastate British defenses.

Various counterattacks all succeed.

A New World Order has taken place.

An error on my part didn’t realize the game was over, if London couldn’t be liberated. I thought it was Moscow only in that circumstance.

So we played on.

@VictoryFirst alerted us to my error, as surprisingly, the deceivous @Panzerstahl-Helm had defeated us both with the same strategy in just a matter of days.

None the less, we agreed to play on. It proved to be quite entertaining, using different play patterns with Union Jack no longer able to produce.

The Soviets pushed hard initially, but in Early 1944 the UK Fctry in Egypt would fall to the Germans.

It was a hard back and forth, alas, in Early 1953, the Soviets would succumb to the Nazi boot and the Reich’s conquest would be complete.
:(

It was a fun game, even with the quick victory by Panzer. We both agreed it was worth it to play out.

My losing streak continues and I believe Panzer notches his 4th Victory in a row. Congratulations @Panzerstahl-Helm
