Meanwhile from Belgium 5 troopers & gun enter Hanover, defended by 3 troopers & tank. Losses one trooper and Ge. 2 troopers & tank(tank absorb a hit). Hanover is contested!
At sea C & sub. Go off Kiel, while a transport off Kiel returns to London, picks up 2 troopers & returns to off Kiel(no mine losses). Also 2 transports pick up 4 Canadian Troopers in Picardy and goes off Kiel(no mine losses). BB shells & defending gun replies, each take out a trooper. Landed 5 troopers versus Ge. 2 troopers & gun. Losses British 2 troopers & Ge. a trooper. Kiel is contested! The remaining Belgium garrison of trooper & gun enter the Ruhr, while 2 troopers in a Fr. transport debark onto Picardy.
The whole U.K. is emptied of British forces! The Brits. Forces are all spread out, but, it will be hard for the Axis to uncontest both Kiel and Hanover(maybe one, but, not both).
Ottoman forces build a fighter & 4 troopers. Moves trooper & gun back into Italian occupied Egypt to hunker down, sends a trooper into Sudan to reinforce trooper already there from Egypt( to delay any Allied attacks from the south into Egypt). Also sends another trooper from Jordan into Egypt.
Meanwhile sub. in Red Sea would like to attack British transport off India, but, two fighters in India and Mesopotamia detour that choice(but goes for the easy kill of U.S. transport off Ge. East Africa).
Finally garrison in Anakra splits and sends 2 troopers & gun into Syrian Desert. While capital sends 2 troopers into Ankara, 2 troopers into Smyrna, &, into Jordan a trooper & gun from Smyrna. The Ottomans are too weak to drive the Allies out of Mesopotamia, but, holding out in territories in Europe and Africa, have something to bargain with at the peace table.
Italian Empire builds sub., &, 4 troopers. Last It. trooper in Africa, goes from Egypt to defend
Libya(the Ottomans will have to try to hold onto Egypt by themselves).
Four troopers arrive in contested Piedmont, for a total of 5 troopers, &, 2 guns to drive out Fr. Invaders of 3 troopers & 2 guns. Losses It. 2 troopers & Fr. all but a trooper. Rome garrison of 3 troopers & 2 guns move into Tuscany. Italy cannot deal with a Fr. taking over Piedmont, &, a potential seaboard landing in Rome.
U.S.A. builds, transport, gun, tank, &, trooper. Submarine joins British fleet of Kiel, no mine lost. Trooper in British East Africa enter undefended It. Somaliland, it falls. Two troopers enter and take It. Libya for a lost of a trooper, each side. Cruiser & sub.(with fighter from Tunisia)enter It. waters, versus, two It. sub.(U.S. losses a sub. due to mines & fighter, and, It. lose both subs.). Followed by transport with a trooper & gun from Libya, &, another U.S. transport from Tunisia.
They land in It. occupied Egypt, defended by Ottoman forces of 2 troopers & fighter. Losses Allies none, and, all Axis(Egypt is freed).
Finally a BB escorting 2 transports with 3 troopers & tank(form East Coast), arrive off Morocco. Africa may be a sideshow, but, it is nearly Axis free!
Round 7: A.H. Empire builds sub., fighter, gun, &, 5 troopers. From Tyrolia to Munich 2 troopers, gun, &, tank, joins GE. forces. Trooper & gun goes from Trieste to Venice, while 2 troopers & gun go from capital to Trieste. Meanwhile from capital a trooper goes to Vienna, &, 3 more troopers move to Galicia. From Galicia to Romania 2 troopers & gun arrive.
Finally from Romania 2 troopers & 2 guns invade Sevastopol, for no lost contest it, while Russia
a trooper.
Russian Empire builds 6 troopers & gun. The need to push GE. out of Belarus takes top priority, with getting AH Empire out of Sevastopol, &, keeping a presence in Mesopotamia takes a backseat(perhaps a slight push on all options, after all whatever losses with GE. can be replace, while Germany finds it hard to send any more forces to the Eastern Front, as the war winds down and ends in round eight).
Russian trooper & gun enter Ankara from Mesopotamia, versus, Ottoman 2 troopers & gun. Losses a gun & Ottoman 2 troopers. Three troopers enter Sevastopol from Uk. to join 2 defending troopers
from AH Empire of 2 troopers & 2 guns. Losses none, &, AH of trooper & gun.
Three troopers from capital move to Ukraine, &, from capital 4 troopers & 2 guns and trooper from Livonia enter Belarus(earlier another trooper from Livonia took out remaining GE. Trooper in Moscow, both lost, but, allowed Moscow garrison to enter Belarus). Belarus occupied by GE. Forces of 6 troopers & 2 guns, losses Russian 4 troopers & gun, and, GE. 3 troopers.
Hopefully taking on three Axis powers will give a bit of a lead for the other Entent Powers.
GE. builds submarine, &, 7 troopers. The GE. Builds are mostly for defense, as the need to stop the Western Allies is of paramount importance, troops in the East cannot come to the rescue, but, may grab or contest enough territories(to bargain at the peace table).
Two troopers & gun, from Munich joins defending trooper in Hanover, along with 4 troopers & fighter from capital, versus, British 4 troopers & gun. Losses Axis 5 troopers, &, Allies all, Hanover is freed! Fighter lands in Kiel. Two troopers & gun, from capital, go to Kiel defended by trooper & gun, trying to repulse, British forces of 3 troopers landed by sea. Losses Axis 2 troopers & gun, &, Alíes all, Kiel is also uncontested!
On the Eastern Front the Belarus garrison is split, 2 troopers & gun, for no lost, take out Russian forces of trooper & gun, trying to retake the area. The remaining garrison of 2 troopers & gun reinvade Livonia, protested by Russian trooper & gun, it falls! Losses GE. none, &, Allies all.
With GE. Forces spread out, it is hard to defend and hold theses areas, but, they give GE. some clout in any peace talks
France builds…

Spring 1918, The Emperor’s Battle threatens Paris, after the Germans launch a massive attack using forces from the now peaceful Eastern Front. In this ten round game, from February to November 1918, can the Allies hold out, in order to reorganize thier defensive position, that can lead to a successful counterattack.
The British need to hold, while the French organize themselves, with the Americans going into battle for the first time. Also by Round Two, Marshall Foch of France becomes Supreme Leader of the Allied Forces(for the first time ALL Allied forces can join as one in attacks).
New units include marines for the Americans, shock troops for the Germans, light Renault tank for the French, A7V tank for the Germans, Whippit light tank for the British, mounted A.T. Gun for the Germans, Sopwith fighter for the British and U.S. forces, Spad for the French and Fokker for the German air forces, finally the introduction of D.D. for all, and, the dreaded bomber for British and German air forces.
Finally the introduction of Belgium and Portuguese infantry forces on the Western Front.
Soon to be released…
What would you want in a 1914 Axis & Allies follow up game, much less what new pieces(maybe minis?), thanks, Pellulo
