  • @VictoryFirst I appear to have forgotten to move those Russian fighters during NCM, I wouldn’t have left them to die. They were supposed to fly back to Leningrad. If you are feeling gracious and want to allow an edit, let me know.


  • @Stucifer Of course! I thought you weren’t able to move them for some reason., but Russia literally goes before Germany which I didn’t think about. In that case I would have walked one infantry into France and the other three to Berlin. The fighters can stay where they are.


  • @VictoryFirst Thanks! I think my misplay in Russia was going after Norway and trying to hold Leningrad in hindsight. Especially since I had plenty as USA/UK to take Norway. Liking the map dynamics quite a bit though!

    I’m traveling the next four days and will have some crunch at work when I return. I was going to just pause this but I have a work trip again Friday - Tuesday starting next week. Just going to focus on my league games until the first weekend in October. I’m thinking I’ll concede victory to the Axis on this one, great game! Once I get caught up, I’ll reach out and see if you want to play again.


  • My apologies for replying to this so late! An excellent game this was, really loved the simplicity of the rules and the map, while still being quite in-depth in terms of strategic options! Power projection is really a thing in this game. I remember I was worried about the British fleet near Egypt because they could pose threats to Italy, but they could also make an unexpected landing in Sumatra because that’s two spaces away!

    I think this game is definitely an improvement to Anniversary. It feels better on all fronts. I am not interested in playing a new game right now because I am playing too many other games but perhaps in a month or two we can have a rematch 😀

    Thanks for the game!
