Final two Axis versus Two Entent Powers, with Italy staying a Axis Power & U.S. being one of the Entent Powers(cause of low IPCs). British Empire & U.S.A., versus, Italy & Germany.
The Axis advantage, Germany has a larger navy than AHE and has colonies in Africa. While the Allies advantage is that both Axis Powers do not touch each other, but, are separated.
Round One: The Germans take off slowly, take out the British Home Fleet, but, lose theirs in return. Also fail to take out the Canadian fleet. The British get off to a good start, take over all Italian colonies and half of the Germans(of course already lost two of their colonies to Germany). It. cannot take back Libya, does take weaken Egypt(one trooper left, with 4 angry British troopers and two guns in Libya). Also takes out, for same lost, Brit. cruiser off Atlantic Spain, escorting a loaded transport. Finally U.S. splits fleet between U.K. and N. Africa.
Round Two: Germany manged to take out Brit. Home fleet, and, land forces in Scotland(enlarges fleet). British takes out remaining GE. trooper in Scotland, frees Gold Coast & Egypt, takes out Italian fleet(for the lost of Red SeaFleet), and, rebuilds fleet. Italy hunker down mainland, builds air power. U.S. helps protect waters off Wales, reinforces Brit. Home Fleet, and, sends troops to Ireland.
Round Three: GE. Forces contest Gold Coast(since no help has arrived from the Reich, they might as well go out big). Attempt to take out Brits. Home Fleet, and, invade Scotland again. Both fleets wiped out, including a U.S. cruiser and a GE. transport with trooper & gun. Landed forces only contest Scotland. British frees two colonies in Africa, and, uncontest Scotland. Italy losses a fighter, to damage a Brit. Warship, to buy time to strengthen home defensives. While U.S. Navy sinks GE. transports off Scotland, &, joins British Home Fleet.
Round Four: GE. concedes the lost of Africa, sub. sinks Brit. transport off Egypt, losses also submarine, there is no forces left, to help Italy. Fails to break out of N. Atlantic, fleet lost of two BBs & fighter, damages both U.S. BBs and sinks British Cruiser. British Empire take over last 2 GE. colonies, Africa is Axis free! Italy reinforces its home Islands. U.S. begins to marshall a invasion fleet off the Atlantic side of Spain.
Round Five: GE. Fleet fails in breakout of N. Atlantic, heavy losses both Axis & Allies Fleet. Unless they can send aid to Italy, or, threaten the UK., the war is lost for the Axis. Brits. take Sicily, Italy tries to rebuild Navy, and, U.S. sinks it(& takes Sardina).
Round Six: GE. builds up its navy, for an all out seaborn invasion of the U.K., by found eight. It is up to the Allies to make sure that naval buildup fails. British contest Piedmont, builds up Home Island Fleet. Italy cannot build up enough sea and air power to threaten the Allied fleets, can only reinforce land units, un contest Piedmont. U.S. contest Piedmont, Axis forces are getting spread out too thinly.
Round Seven: GE. Ditto as in Round Six. British takes Naples and Piedmont, builds up Home Fleet. Italy contest Piedmont and Naples. U.S. uncontest Piedmont for the Allies.
Round Eight: GE. fail on an Operation Sea Lion, incredible heavy losses both sides, builds up Home Fleet. Danger of losing control of North Sea. British Empire Home Fleet attacks newly purchase German Home Fleet off Kiel, both fleets destroyed, but, Allies control the North Sea(by default due to lone U.S. Cruiser off London). Takes Tuscany and uncontest Naples. This round has account for just below fifty percent of all sea units lost so far. Italy hunkers down in Rome, cannot defend Venice. U.S. lands and fails to take or contest Rome, but, wipes out half the Roman defenders. That ensures the Italians with just three troopers could not last another round, also U.S. forces take Venice. Italy is reduced to its capital only.
IPCs left for GE. 31, British Empire 42, Italy 5, &, U.S. 22.
IPCs Lost: Axis Troopers & Guns & Tanks 172, &, Allies 78. Axis Air 60, &, 30. All Sea Forces Axis 327, &, Allies 250. The sea losses exceed land and air losses combined.
Units left, the Allies have 24 troopers & 5 guns left, the Axis 3 troopers for Italy & all land forces left for Germany(except Kiel garrison, and, a gun and two troopers from the Ruhr). No way could the Allies invade the Second Reich. Tanks 2 for Allies & 1 Axis, Fighter 3 Allies, Navy for Allies of 4 BBs & 4 Cruisers & 7 Transports & a Submarine.
