Axis & Allies 1914: Round Robin

Pellulo

Is there a 3 player game AH could win, of course there is, AH empire, versus, Italy & USA. It would take three turns for USA forces to get to Italy, just to drop off 2 troopers & 2 guns. Venice would be taken, &, Tuscany(maybe Rome, skipping Piedmont) ready to fall, still it might save Rome for a while with the US forces arriving, but, all AH has to do is spend its funds on mostly naval forces. The AH navy would buy time for the land forces to take Rome.

Skipping AH empire, would USA & Italy have a chance versus Germany. It helps that GE. does not touch Italy, so it would be mostly a naval game. Where would GE. strike the USA or Italy?, once a capital is contested the war is over, especially if GE. gets naval dominance and keeps the transports coming. True Italy could take out GE. colonies, both Allies could try to combine their fleets, but, still GE. is a force to recon with(on the flip side the Allies will probably never land any forces in GE.).

Round One: Germany builds transport, sub., C & BB. Moves subs. from Sea Zones 5&7 to 3(to link up with surface fleet leaving Sea Zone 10). Eventually the fleet will sail to Sea Zone 14(equidistant from Rome & D.C.).

Italy builds transport & sub., BB & transport goes to East Africa with 2 troopers(who boarded from Rome), on Italian mainland an adjustment of guns and troopers(goal of 4 troopers & gun) for each province. A reserve to be built in Rome, and, to garrison the home islands in the future with a trooper & gun(Sicily & Sardinia).

USA builds fighter, transport and submarine.

Round Two: Germany builds 2 transports, 2 subs., &, a BB. Now is moving fleet to Sea Zone 14(equidistant from Rome & DC, hard for Allies to link up).

Italy builds fighter, gun, &, 2 troopers. Arrives off GE. E. Africa transport & BB, drops off gun & trooper(BB shelling wipes defending trooper), colony falls.

USA builds BB, 2 troopers & gun. Has 2 troopers boarding transport.

Round Three: GE. builds 2 transports, sub. & BB. More ships arrive Sea Zone #14, leaving home waters BB & 2 subs. & 2 transports(2 troopers & gun & fighter).
Sea Zone #14 does not let US Fleet link up with Italians, or, go through Med. Sea or down west coast of Africa.

Italy builds 2 subs. & a trooper. Moves from Rome via transport of trooper & gun to Sicily. Two troopers board transport off GE. East Africa, sail to Kamerun, where defending trooper is destroyed by BB shelling, and, troopers from transport have landed, the colony has fallen. Italy knows GE. transports are due to land at Rome/D.C. soon.

USA builds 2 subs., gun & 2 troopers.

Round Four: Germany builds tank, transport, &, 4 submarines. Fleets moving to Sea Zone 14.

Italy builds gun, trooper, &, tank. Moves from Venice garrison trooper & gun to Rome via transport. Combat off S.W. Africa 2 troopers land from transport, and, BB shells. Defending troopers destroyed by shelling, the colony falls.

USA builds trooper, tank, &, moves troops back to shore from transport, in case GE. fleet attacks next round.

ROUND FIVE: GE. builds 3 transports and a BB. Decides to move from Sea Zone 14 to East Coast America! Also moves from 8 to 2(sea zones) of BB, sub., &, 2 transports. Along with from 10 to 8(sea zone) moves 4 subs.

Combat 3BB, 3C, 7subs., &, 3 loaded transports, versus, USN 2 BB, C, transport, 5 subs., and, fighter. Losses to mines damaged BB & 3 submarines, also rest of GE. fleet with 2 transports lost, &, all U.S.A. fleet lost sans transport (including fighter that had scored a hit is lost). Lone GE. transport tries to land trooper & gun, but, destroyed by defending guns. All that remains of both fleets are a transport.

For rest of Rd. 5 played Italy will take Togoland and try to send Med. fleet to East Coast, while USA rebuilds its fleet.

Political lost for both sides, USA is no pushover for GE., but, Italy gives back GE. colonies to end war(GE. still has a surface and submarine fleets coming down to Med. Sea).

Now if GE. had instead attacked Italy first. Moves ships from Sea Zone 8 to 14, Sea Zone 10 to 8, part of fleet already in Sea Zone 14 to 17. Off Italy mines damage BB & sinks submarine. Battle 3 BB , 2 submarines, &, 3 transport, versus, Italian C, 3 submarines, fighter, and, transport. Losses only 2 damaged BB remains, 3 transports, &, fighter for Italy. BBS shell & defending guns fire, each side losses 2 troopers.

Transports land 1 trooper, 2 guns, &, fighter (Italian fighter lost in air duel), versus, 3 troopers, 3 guns, and, tank(which absorbs a hit). Losses GE. gun and fighter. Rome is contested!

Italy builds 3 submarines, reinforcement trooper from Naples & Tuscany enter Rome, moves BB & transport to Togoland(shelling takes out defending trooper & landed troops take over colony).

Combat Roman garrison counterattacks 5 foot and 3 guns, &, tank, versus GE. trooper & gun, losses Allies 2 troopers & Axis all.

USA builds BB, transport, &, trooper. Moves fleet from East Coast to Sea Zone 14 of 2 BB, C, 5 subs., &, transport(heads for S. Africa), versus, GE. fleet of BB, 3C, 5 subs., &, 2 transports. Losses all but GE. 2 Transports.

Again political sour grapes for all, 2 transports will not take out Rome, still GE. has fleets, but, with USA in the flank, hard to just concentrate on Rome alone. Also Italy can get GE. out of the Med. for good, give back the colonies.

Now starting Round Five again, with GE. attacking both Allies at the same time. Splitting the GE. fleet, would not probably lead to any landings on the East Coast(if the fleet is not wiped out), probably landings in Italy, but, without BBs(back on East Coast) to help with shelling.

Losses IPCs when USA attacked first:Land Axis 15 & Allies none, Air both sides 6, Sea Axis 111 & Allies 63.

Next U.S.A. & U.K. versus Germany. GE. cannot wait four rounds to try an Operation Sealion, maybe two, destroy the Brit. home fleet and make a landing. Of course two troopers would not contest London, but, would help set the stage for a minor political victory(get back any lost colonies).

The Allies if they can link their fleet and prevent a GE. fleet breakout from the North Atlantic, can get a minor political victory(colonies in Africa). Forget about invading GE, it would drag out to a long game.

Round One: GE. builds BB, C, sub. & transport, &, orders surface & sub. fleets to attack British Home Fleet. No mine losses, BB & 2C & 4 subs. versus Britsh BB, 2 C, & transport. Losses GE. all subs & Allies all lost.

From GE. colonies undefended Gold Coast & Nigeria are captured.

British Empire builds fighter, BB, &, 2 submarines. Moves to Scotland trooper from York, and, from London, 3 troopers & gun to York. Also from Canada C & transport arrives off Ireland & debarks trooper & gun. From Egypt C & transport with trooper & gun, head for home islands, along with India fleet of BB & C(Indian transport heads for S. Africa with trooper & gun). Together with Egyptian garrison of gun & 5 troopers heading for S. Africa, and with trooper from Rhodesia. Entering GE. East Africa, trooper & gun from S. Africa versus the same(both sides lose a gun).

U.S.A. builds transport, sub., &, fighter. Moves BB & C off Ireland Sea Zone #7.

Round Two: GE. builds transport, BB, & 3 subs., moves new ships to join fleet in British home waters(no losses due to mines), off London. Two BBs, 3 C, and, sub., versus British BB, 2 subs., and, fighter. Losses Axis both BB damaged & sub., &, Allies all.

Sea landing in Scotland, BBs shell & take out a defender, trooper & gun land & take out remaining trooper, Scotland falls!

British Empire builds 2 BB, &, moves 3 troopers & gun into Scotland, from York(shire). Also moves troops from Wales into York. A C from Med. Sea goes off London, &, transport returns back to Canada. Med. Sea fleet approaching Home Waters, &, India Fleet enters Med. Sea(Indian transport arrives off S. Africa).

Troopers enters GE. East Africa, &, Egyptian garrison enters Brit. East Africa. Troopers three & gun defeat defending GE. trooper in Scotland, it is retaken! GE. S. Africa becomes contested when Brit. 2 trooper & gun attack from Brit. S. Africa, defending trooper & gun(Allies lose a trooper & Axis lose a gun).

US builds BB & fighter. Moves BB & C to join Royal Fleet off London, sub. & transport arrives off Ireland and lands trooper and gun(fighter lands there).

Round Three: GE. builds BB,C, Transport, &, 2 subs., moves from Scotland to Kiel transport. Naval ships from Kiel join fleet off London, mines damage a BB & sink a submarine. Combat 3 damaged BB(one due to mines), 3 subs.(one lost to mines), 3 C, &, transport, versus, British 2BB, C, and, USA BB & C. Now the only
survivors are 2 damaged GE. BBs & transport.

Land Battle in Scotland 2 BB shell and take out defending trooper. Landed trooper(gun lost to gunfire of defending gun) versus Brit. 2 troopers & gun. Scotland is contested.

British Empire builds BB, C, &, submarine, moves Indian Fleet in Atlantic off London of C and transport(lands gun & trooper). Canadian transport lands as reserve trooper & gun in Wales, &, from London gun sent to Wales.

Also 2 troopers & gun enter South Africa, &, transport lands as reinforcements trooper & gun in GE. S.W. Africa(losses Allied trooper against defending trooper).

US builds BB, sub., &, transport, moves a transport & sub. off Scotland, lands trooper & gun(fighter arrives from Ireland). Also a BB sails to Ireland & a fighter from East Coast lands there.

Battle Allies lose gun & defending Axis trooper is lost, Scotland is uncontested!

Round Four: GE. builds 2 BBs & C, moves reinforcements to join fleet in Brit. Home Waters(no mine lost). Transport goes back to Kiel, combat 3 BBs(two which are damaged), C, 2 subs., &, 2 transports, versus, British BB, sub., 2 C, transport, &, US fighter. Losses all but GE. BB & 2 transports. Land combat BB shells London & 2 Brit. guns counter fire, losses trooper each side. Landed trooper & 2 guns versus the same. Both sides lose 2 guns, London is contested!

British Empire builds 2 BB & a trooper, a transport goes back to Canada, troops enter S. Africa(in S.W. Africa another Brit. trooper lost), reinforcement into London of 2 guns & trooper. Battle 2 troopers & 2 guns destroy invading GE. trooper, London is uncontested.

Indian fleet of BB & C arrive off London, versus, GE. BB & 2 transports. Losses damaged BB & C lost, &, all GE. units.

US builds fighter, tank, &, submarine. Moves sub. & BB off London, &, transport heads home, with fighter flies from Ireland to Scotland. Also BB, sub. &, transport with trooper & gun arrive of Ireland.

Germany has lost Naval dominance, it can still build naval forces, &, is practically invasion proof. Allies will keep GE. in the North Atlantic, but, Brit. did have a partial Sealion done against her.

Minor political victory/lost for both, Axis will not invade Brit. Home islands again, &, Germany gets her colonies back.

Allies France & U.S.A., versus, A.H. Empire. The former needs to take over her home waters(with the second largest land forces on the board, AH is practically invasion proof), while the latter can wreck havoc in French Med. area. If the Allies continue to shuttle forces into off the coast of Trieste, even with AH building new naval forces, the Axis will be contain on the seas.

Round One: A.H. Empire builds sub., BB, & fighter. Moves BB, C, &, transports to off Marseilles(BB damaged due to mines), versus, Fr. BB & 2 transports. Losses C & all Allies. Lands in undefended Corsica & Marseilles a trooper.

France builds 2 BB, &, moves from Brest to S. France BB & transport, &, Burgundy garrison into Marseilles of 6 troopers & 2 guns(destroys defending AH trooper, Marseilles is uncontested).

U.S.A. builds transport & 2 sub., moves BB & C to off entrance to Med.Sea to
join Fr. fleet.

Round Two: AH builds 2 BB, moves fleet of BB & sub. & transport to off S. France, with no losses due to mines(transport returns to home waters). Combat 2 BB(one already damaged) & sub. versus FR. 2 BB. Losses all but damaged AH BB.

FR. builds BB & fighter, and, Brest fleet arrives off S. France. BB goes off Corsica and shells & destroys defending trooper, landed trooper takes over island.

US builds BB & C, &, moves BB & C to off Italy joining Fr. BB. Also 2 subs. & transports arrive to entrance to Med. Sea.

Round Three: A.H. builds BB, C, &, fighter, to off Italy goes 2 BB, sub., transport, & , fighter, versus, Fr. BB & US BB & C. Losses only both AH BB survive(one damaged).

Fr. builds BB & 2 subs. Moves to off Italy, 2 BB, fighter, & loaded transport(trooper & gun), versus, AH 2 BB(one damaged). Losses Allies BB & fighter, &, Axis all.

USA builds transport, C, &, submarine. Arrives Central Med. Sea transport(trooper & gun) & 2 subs., C from East Coast arrives S. France, &, BB arrives entrance to Med. Sea.

Round Four: AH builds fighter & 3 submarines. Moves fighter & BB & C to central Med. Sea, versus, US 2 subs. & transport(trooper & gun) & Fr. BB & transport(gun & trooper). Losses only Fr. transport survives.

Fr. builds BB, C, &, submarine, moves transport(gun & trooper), BB, &, 2 subs. to AH home waters( 3 subs. & fighter are there). No combat.

US builds BB & transport, moves BB & C to central Med. Sea; off the East Coast C goes to Med. Sea(followed by transport with gun & trooper & sub.).

Round Five: A.H. builds 2 BBs.

Fr. builds 2 BBs, moves from W. Med. Sea, 2 BB & C & 3 subs. & transport into A.H. home waters(no mine damage), versus, 2 BB & 3 subs. & 2 fighters. Losses all left Fr. damage BB & transport(no landing made).

US builds tank, fighter, &, C. Moves, with no mine losses, BB & 2C into AH home waters, &, sub. arrives off Italy, &, off Med. Sea BB & transport.

At this point AH is just battling to keep her home waters Allied freed, while the latter will probably never be able to invade, by sea. An impasse has been reached, both sides are unable to win, mush less lose. At this time US has BB & 2C, sub., & 2 transports. While Fr. has 2BB & transport, &, AH has to match those ships.

Losses IPCs: Allies 06 land, 18 air, 178 sea, &, Axis 06 land, 06 air, &, 148 sea.

In terms of play for starting forces, US is a midget, so in Russia & U.S.A. versus A.H. Empire, anything the US can send to Russia would take no less than 4-5 turns(the game could be over). The best the US can do is use its navy to annoy, and, maybe take over AH home waters(maybe make a symbolic landing in Trieste).

Of course AH can spend some funds to counter the US naval effort, but, needs most of its IPCs for the land war against Russia. In all this can Russia hold until some heavy material aid comes from the states?

Round One: A.H. builds trooper, two guns, fighter, &, C. Moves forces to Northern A.H. Empire. Plan to launch massive invasion of Poland and/or Ukraine, forcing the Russians to split their forces. Also temping the Russians to try a pre-strike attack. Fleet moves to Western Med. Sea to block Allied navies for now.

Russians build 2 fighters, guns, &, 3 troopers. Fortifies equally Poland & Uk., &, uses Belarus as a gun park. Starts moving BB to entrance of Med. Sea.

U.S.A. builds transport, gun, &, fighter.

Round Two: A.H. Empire builds 4 troopers, sub., &, fighter. Moves C to Western Med. Sea(seacoast Trieste protected by original garrison). AH decides to invade Poland(to protect their flank, into Galicia 7 troopers & 4 guns join 9 troopers already there), with fighter flying in, you have 26 troopers, 8 guns, versus, Russian 14 troopers & 2 guns. Losses all Allies & Axis 8 troopers. Poland has fallen.

Russia is tempted to turn flanks and cut off AH forces inside their empire by taking out or contesting Galicia(of course that cold leave a very angry AH army inside Russia). Russia builds fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers, moving BB to the Med. Sea entrance. Leaving troops to guard flank in Uk.(9 troopers & gun). Russia pours forces into Poland, 15 troopers & 11 guns, &, 2 fighters, versus, AH 14 troopers, 14 guns, &, fighter. Losses air duel each side losses a fighter, Russia losses 10 troopers, &, AH losses 14 troopers & 6 guns. Such losses are hard for AH to make up, especially for a now contested province.

U.S.A. builds transport & BB, moves transport(trooper & gun) & escort C sail to Russia together.

Round Three: AH builds fighter, sub., 4 troopers. Moves more forces & fighter into contested Poland, and, sub. sails to join fleet. Also 5 troopers & 2 guns move into Galicia to reinforce it.

Combat in Poland 10 guns, 15 troopers, &, fighter, versus, Russian fighter, 9 guns, &, fighter. Axis win air duel. Losses Axis 7 troopers & Allies all but for one trooper.

Russia builds fighter & 5 troopers. Moves 8 troopers , gun, &, fighter, not into Poland, but, invades AH Galicia, versus, defending 5 troopers & 2 guns. Losses
Allies 4 troopers & all Axis, Galicia has fallen! Also moves troopers into Livinia & Belarus(leaving gun in Moscow).

Also BB arrives at entrance to Med. Sea.

US is in the situation of building up its Naval forces, should she send a landing force to eventually threaten southern AH empire(hopefully most of AH forces are stuck in southern Russia to do much about it), or, just send them to Russia directly where they might be too little, too late.

U.S.A. builds sub., transport, trooper & gun. BB goes to link up with Russian BB, transport & escort C doubles back, and, joins Russian BB, at entrance to Med. Sea(also another transport with trooper & fighter, leaves East Coast to link up also).

Round Four: AH has its flanks turn, worse it is only contesting Poland at this time, and, lost, Galicia. Also the Allies naval presence is starting to have an effect of sucking up resources needed for land combat(a slow retreat to home waters?). Builds submarine, tank, &, 5 troopers.

Moves sub. to join main fleet, from Vienna 4 troopers & fighter enters Galicia, versus, Russian fighter(which wins air duel), 4 troopers, &, gun. Losses Axis 2 troopers & Allies 1 trooper.

AH wanted to at least contest Galicia, in order to prevent a breakout to undefended Budapest, also defending Russian trooper in Poland destroyed for no lost(Poland is taken back).

Russia builds tank, gun, 5 troopers. Moves forces to secure Galacia again. From Moscow reinforces Livonia & Belarus. Into Galacia fighter, gun, &, 4 troopers, versus, AH 4 troopers. Losses Allies a trooper & all Axis.

USA builds transport, tank, &, gun. Moves from East Coast sub. & transport with trooper & gun, joining Russian BB(outside entrance to Med. Sea).

Combat 2 BB & C, enter Western Med. Sea from entrance, versus, AH BB, 2C &, 2 submarines. Losses only 2 damaged Allies BB remained, &, all Axis naval units lost.

If combat had gone AH way, precious US transports were still protected by sub. & Russian BB. A second front is needed soon, as Russia is on the ropes.

Round Five: AH builds BB & 5 troopers. Moves sub. to Western Med. Sea versus US 2 damaged BBs. Losses AH sub. & US 1 BB. From Vienna moves into Galicia, so gun & 5 troopers versus Russian fighter, gun, & 3 troopers. Losses AH 3 troopers & Russians 2 troopers.

From Poland into Livonia fighter, 4 troopers, &, 5 guns, versus, Russian 5 troopers. Losses AH 2 troopers & all Allies.

Russia builds gun & 8 troopers. Moves BB to join US BB in W. Med. Sea, &, from Moscow a trooper to reinforce Uk. & Belarus.

Also moves into Galicia fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers, versus, AH 4 troopers & 5 guns. Losses Allies 4 troopers & Axis 3 troopers & 3 guns. In Livonia 3 troopers, gun, &, tank from Moscow, versus, AH fighter, 5 guns, &, 2 troopers. Losses Allies 2 troopers & Axis 2 guns & trooper.

US builds transport, gun, &, transport. Moves sub. & 3 transport to W. Med. Sea, from East Coast sub. & transport(with trooper & tank) sail to Europe.

Round Six: AH builds BB, gun, &, 4 troopers. Moves trooper, gun, &, fighter into Belarus from Livonia. Also join there by trooper & 2 guns from Poland, versus, Russian trooper(losses a trooper each side). Belarus falls!

Russia builds 7 infantry. BB (no mine damage) goes to AH home waters and takes out defending BB & transport. Allies BB suffers damage.

Moves from Moscow & Uk. into Belarus gun & 9 troopers, versus, AH trooper, 3 guns, &, fighter. Losses Allies 2 troopers & all Axis. Belarus uncontested.

US builds 2 tanks & transports, BB & transport goes from E. Coast to entrance to Med. Sea(also sub. & transport arrive off Italy). Entering AH home waters, BB & 3 transports(sub. lost to mines), sea landings are made. BB makes a hit, AH two defending guns do not. US fighter, 3 troopers, &, 2 guns, versus, 5 troopers & 2 guns. Losses only one trooper each side are left.

Round 7: AH got to win, in this round, or, have to head for the peace talks. Builds sub. fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers. From Vienna troopers move to Galicia, and, reinforcements 4 troopers sent to Trieste. Battle 5 troopers versus US one trooper. Losses a trooper each side, &, Trieste is completely retaken. Also 2 troopers & tank take undefended UK.

AH forces in Russia, none in Poland, trooper in Livonia, 2 troopers & tank in Uk., 1 trooper in contested Belarusa.

Russia builds 6 troopers. Damaged BB takes out AH submarine. Moves 2 troopers from Moscow into Livonia, versus, AH trooper(both sides lose a trooper, Livonia retaken!). Also from Moscow 4 troopers into UK., versus, AH tank & 2 troopers. Losses Allies trooper & Axis trooper & tank(took a hit also). Uk. still contested! Finally in Belarus 7 troopers & gun versus defending AH trooper. Losses trooper each side, Belarus is retaken!

AH has lost 2 of 4 provinces, in Russia, has one contested(with just a defending trooper), and, another(Poland) undefended.

Here AH is between a rock and a hard place(another even harder rock), with a few more troops(maybe less ships), the Kaiser would be having a victory parade in Moscow(while half of AH empire might be overrun with US forces).

Still maybe the US should have landed most of their transports on the Russian coast(thus making AH force to leave units to defend them), much less a still threat of a landing through the Med. Sea. Of course the AH navy might have broken out into the Atlantic Ocean(maybe land troopers on the East Coast, just to annoy the Americans).

A military disaster for both sides, so much lost, for so little gain, Poland & Hungary spin off to make new independent countries(regardless of what the Axis and Allies would like).

Well end this, with the closing of this round, USA builds 2 transports, 2 troopers, &, gun. Moves 3 transports back to USA, 2 transports(with 2 troopers & gun & tank) leave for AH empire. Also another transport with trooper & gun & escort BB arrives off Italy. Another sub. & transport(with trooper & tank) arrive in AH home waters. Sub. lost to mine & US BB shells & take out defending trooper. Landed trooper & tank versus AH 3 defending troopers. Losses Axis a trooper & US tank absorbed hit.

AH has 5 troopers & a gun, ready to enter UK. to drive out Russian forces, or, defend Poland(another 5 troopers & gun & plane in Vienna). Cannot take Moscow with that kind of force, much less defend at the same time its coastline.

In Europe Russians have 16 troopers & a gun, USA trooper & tank, much less 8 transports making the rounds, the war is over for AH empire.

Losses IPCs Land Axis 255 & Allies 265, Air Axis 12 & Allies 24, Sea Axis 72 & Allies 33.

Fighter wins air duel(Brit. defending fighter shot down), C & BB, versus, Brit. BB, sub. & transport, &, damaged Fr. BB.
GE. again destroys Brit. transport, but, only survivor is the Fr. BB. When it comes to naval battles, GE. will find it harder & harder to field ships at sea.

Troops & guns pour into Lorraine from S. Germany. Ge. fighter wins air duel, 6 guns, &, 14 troopers, versus, Fr. 12 troopers & 4 guns(fighter lost in air duel). Losses 5 troopers Axis and 9 troopers Allies.

Round Four: Germany builds 2 infantry, artillery, tank, fighter, &, BB. More reinforcements into Lorraine, 13 guns & 22 troopers, versus, Allies 2 fighters, Fr. 10 troopers & 2 guns, &, Brits. 3 troopers & 3 guns. Losses Axis 8 troopers & Fr. 9 troopers, &, Brits. 2 troopers & 2 guns.

At sea BB, &, 3 subs., 3 fighters, enter British Home Waters(no mine damage, in air duel each side losses 2 fighters), versus, Allies 2 fighters, Fr. BB & C, Brits. 2C & sub., &, 2 transports. Survivor is a damaged Fr. BB & GE. has sunk the most important Allies ships, the transports.

Fr. builds 8 troopers, sends fighter to London, Burgundy & Paris forces into Lorraine. Damaged BB makes it to off Berlin(no mine lost), versus, GE. BB, both are lost. Transport arrives off Picardy with Canadian 2 troopers. Lone trooper starts back to Tunisia from mid-Africa.

Brits. build transport, sub., fighter, tank, gun, &, trooper. In Africa land forces heads towards Egypt(transport arrives & trooper & gun board it). Three troopers & 3 guns enter Lorraine, &, 2 troopers enter Burgundy(from Picardy & Marseilles). Two more troopers debark from Fr. transport onto Picardy, &, off London trooper & gun board transport(with C for protection).

Round Five: GE. attacks have gone pretty good, one more big push could lead soon to Burgundy(outskirts of Paris), or, wiggling out of a war it cannot win. Builds BB & gun & 6 troopers, reinforces Kiel with extra infantry(in case of any Allied sea landings). Moves last of its original land forces(from round one) into Lorraine. Battle 20 troopers & 16 guns, versus, Fr. fighter, 3 guns & 5 troopers, &, Brits. fighter, 4 guns & 4 troopers. Losses Axis 14 troopers & Allies all, Lorraine has fallen(is Burgundy next?).

France builds fighter, gun, &, 4 troopers. Holds into going back into Lorraine, but, sends reinforcements into Burgundy. Lone Fr. trooper approaching Tunisia.

Brits. builds transport, fighter, 2 guns, &, 4 troopers. All troopers & gun, that are in Africa, begin to move to Egypt. A transport from Egypt, with trooper & guns lands in Southern France. From London 2 transports land in Picardy, 2 troopers & gun & tank(also fighter from London lands there). From Scotland, Yorkshire, &, Wales, 5 troopers & gun, boards 3 Fr. transports.

Also from India BB & C take position off London.

Round Six: GE. needs to take Burgundy and/or Picardy(both would be great) in order to threaten Paris. Even with Allies reinforcements, these provinces could be traded for lost colonies in Africa, if Paris is never taken.

GE. builds 2 subs., 2 fighters, &, 3 troopers. Moving troops, guns, &, tank to Alsace. Also fighter flies to Lorraine, and, extra trooper for Berlin & Prussia(in case of any Allies sea landings). Four troopers & 7 guns enter Picardy, versus, Brits. 6 troopers, gun, tank(absorbs a hit), &, fighter. Losses Axis 3 troopers & gun, &, Allies 5 troopers. Brits. are hurt but still defending Picardy. Much less a pending counterattack from the French into Lorraine.

Fr. builds fighter, 2 guns, &, 3 troopers. Moves trooper into Morocco, &, more forces into Lorraine(from Burgundy). Two fighters(one flew in from London) versus GE. fighter, each side loses a fighter, 13 troopers & tank(absorbs a hit), versus, GE. trooper & 9 guns. Losses Allies 4 troopers & Axis 4 guns. Also Paris garrison goes into Picardy, 4 troopers & gun, versus, trooper & 6 guns. Losses Allies 3 troopers & Axis 3 guns.

British Empire builds 2 fighters, 2 tanks, 2 guns, &, 2 troopers. Two troopers & 2 guns enter Burgundy(from already in Burgundy 2 troopers enter Lorraine, versus, GE. trooper & 4 guns. Losses Brits. both troopers & GE. a gun). Three transports off the coast of Picardy unload 3 troopers & 3 guns, boarding three Fr. transports off Britain are 4 troopers & 2 guns. Also 2 transports head back to Egypt.

Battle in Picardy fighter, tank, 6 troopers , &, 4 guns, versus, GE. trooper & 4 guns. Losses Allies 2 troopers & Axis all. Picardy is under Allied control again!

From British to German Home Waters, no mine lost, BB & C & sub. & fighter versus GE. BB & 2 subs.(only damaged Brit. BB is left).

GE. forces fizzle out with the Allied counterattacks, with Allies growing stronger in Europe, GE. agreed to give back Lorraine, in return for two of its colonies back. The Allies take the deal, a drive to Berlin would be very costly.

Next British & Russian Empires versus A.H. Empire. With only Trieste to defend by sea, the Axis can put its forces into trying to take Moscow(or as much territory as it can), before Brits. land forces become a bother. Allies need to keep A.H. fleet holed up, and, hold onto its front line territories, and, await Brits. land forces as reinforcements.

Round One: A.H. Empire builds sub. & fighter, &, 3 troopers & gun. Moves forces from Galicia into UK., land forces moving to upper part of empire. Fleet goes to off Egypt, and, Trieste garrison stays put, to protect coastline.

Invades UK. with 6 troopers & 2 guns, versus, Russian same set up(both sides losses 3 troopers). Off Egypt BB & C & transport(2 troopers) take on Brits. C & transport(latter is destroyed for no lost). BB shells and takes out a trooper & defending guns fire and take out an landed trooper. Remaining landed trooper takes out a defending Brit. trooper(even thought the landed trooper is destroyed by the rest of the defenders, it tweaks the British Lion that Egypt has been invaded, much less the Med. fleet has been wiped out).

Russia builds fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers. Sends BB to Med. Sea, &, land reinforcements to UK. & Poland. Combat in Uk., 15 troopers & 7 guns, versus, Empire of A.H. 3 troopers & 2 guns(Allies lose a trooper, &, Axis all). Uk. is liberated.

British Empire builds fighter, sub., 3 troopers. Brits. need to make the Med. a Allied Lake, and, start sending troops/guns to Russia, &, a threat of landings in S.A.H.E.(Southern Austro-Hungarian Empire).

BB arrives off Med. sea & moves forces into Uk., decides not to turn flank by attacking Galicia(AHE forces could strike at four Russian provinces, including Moscow, from Uk.). Leaving 7 troopers to protect Poland. Entering Uk., fifteen troopers, 7 guns ,&, fighter, versus, AHE forces of 18 troopers, 6 guns, &, fighter. Losses Allies 14 troopers & gun, &, Axis 12 troopers & fighter(lost air duel). Uk. is contested.

Round Three: AHE knows that Brits. will soon be on the scene, should they go for Moscow, trying to keep lines of communication open via Uk., or, try to grab as much undefended Russian provinces to use at the peace table, or, retreat & hunker down in Northern part of their empire. This is the last turn to try any of the above options, AHE builds, sub. fighter, gun, &, 4 troopers.

Moves reinforcements into Uk. & Galicia, 14 troopers & 7 guns & 1 fighter, versus, Russian troopers & 6 guns & fighter. Axis win air duel & lose 4 troopers, &, all Allies wiped out. Uk. is retaken, with 3 provinces undefended for the taking.

Russian builds fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers. Moves BB into Sea Zone #16 Med. Sea. Forces from Poland & Moscow enter Uk. to retake or contest it.

British Empire builds 3 transports, gun, &, 3 troopers. Sub. arrives off Italy, 3 transports land 5 troopers & gun in Poland, another transport heads back to London(another Canadian transport lands also a trooper & gun). A cruiser & transport (trooper & fighter) leaves Wales and heads for the Med. Sea. Also 2 BBs & transport(trooper & gun), enter AHE home waters(no mine lost). AHE sub. destroyed & BB damaged. Shelling BBs take out two defending AHE troopers, while defending guns take out a landed gun. On land BE trooper destroyed by defending AHE 2 troopers & 2 guns.

AHE got a tough choice to make, with forces on the border, about the same makeup with Brits. in Poland, it makes it hard to reinforce forces in Uk.(even if they did, and, took over the Uk., it still would be still be too weak to ever take Moscow). New forces raised must now be diverted for potential sea landings, and, would be needed in northern part of the empire, to protect from the British forces in Poland(of 7 troopers, 2 guns, &, fighter).

Pull out of Russia, no real victory or lost, just some promise from both sides for more self rule for Uk. and Hungary.

Losses IPCs in units, troopers Axis 38 & Allies 43, 2 & 15 guns, 1 & 2 fighters, 3 subs. Axis only, 1 & 3 C , 1 BB Axis only, &, 1 & 1 transports.

Back to W.W. I, A.H. Empire versus Italian & French Empire.
Pellulo

Round One: AH Empire builds fighter, sub., &, 4 troopers. Here a quick strike for Rome can bring some results, with only one sea & land entrance for Austro-Hungarian Empire, makes it hard for the Allies to attack. But with France to lend large land forces to help Italy, perhaps a limited conquest(say Venice) to help see what the Allies will give to get AHE out of Italy.

Sends forces into Venice, while keeping Trieste covered in case of any future Allied sea landings. Twelve troopers & 4 guns versus Italian 6 troopers & 2 guns. Losses 5 troopers, &, all Italian but for one trooper. Venice is contested.

Fr. builds sub., fighter, &, 4 troopers. Moves forces into Italy, &, fighter lands in Piedmont. Also transport lands there, 2 troopers from North African colonies. Another transport goes to Morocco to pick up 2 troopers from W. Africa.

France builds fighter, 2 troopers, &, BB. Transport from Morocco & 2 from Marseilles debarks 6 troopers on Tuscany. Also BB & sub. join up with Italian Fleet off Rome. Reinforcements enter Piedmont from Eastern France(along with fighter from Paris).

Italy builds gun & 3 infantry, transport arrives off East Africa. Reinforcements from Piedmont & Rome enter Tuscany.

Round Three: AHE builds sub., fighter, gun, &, four troopers. More land reinforcements pour into Venice, along with fighter from capital. Land forces attack Tuscany(rather than Piedmont). Thirty troopers & 8 guns & fighters, versus, Allies 15 troopers, 3 guns, &, 2 fighters. Losses Axis 11 troopers and fighter, &, French 6 troopers & fighter. Also Italian 8 troopers & 3 guns lost. Tuscany is contested.

AHE breaks out of Home Waters(no mine lost) aiming for French transports. Two BB & C & sub., versus, Fr. 2BB & C & sub. & 3 transports, &, Italian BB & C(only after battle Italian BB & Fr. BB & 3 transports left).

France builds fighter, sub., gun, &, 3 troopers. Moves 3 transports from Italy to Marseilles & lands in Tuscany 6 troopers(from Piedmont forces move into Tuscany also). Battle 17 troopers & 4 guns & fighter, versus, AHE 19 troopers & 8 guns. Losses Fr. 15 troopers & AHE 10 troopers.

Italy builds gun & 3 troopers. Moves Rome garrison to Tuscany, 4 troopers, versus, AHE trooper & 7 guns. Losses all of Italy’s European land forces & AHE 3 guns. Transport with trooper arrives off Egypt.

Endplay AHE will never take Rome or head towards Paris, even probably controlling Tuscany again(to do so, lets France to retake Venice). Pieces for land are about the same for both sides, Axis has no navy, but, needs to build one to protect the coastline from Fr. landings in the future(if Venice is lost, would also face a land invasion). For the Allies, it would be a long bloody road to Vienna. So both sides “save face”, where Fr. Tunis & Italian Libya meet, a small part of the coastline(20 miles long & 5 deep) is leased to AHE for ninety-nine years. Also uncontested home ports visits for everybody. This mini leased colony is a non-militarized zone.

Losses IPCs, Allies troopers 43 & Axis 37, Allies guns 12 & Axis 6, fighters 3 each side, transport for Axis, 2 subs. each side, Allies 2 C & Axis 1, and, 3 BBs each side.

Tit for Tat, the Allies will find it hard to ever invade GE. by sea, &, the latter has invaded the Brits. Island but failed to stay the complete round. Of course naval dominance for the N. Sea flip flops from one side to another. GE. agreed to never land in London again(or any part of Brit. islands), &, keep its fleet only in the North Atlantic area(as long as she gets Kamerun back). Of course the Allies can refuse and spend forever to try to get a decent landing in Germany. Italy & Brit. keep a GE. colony each, and, split one between themselves.
