Speaking of abnormal games…

I wonder what would have if right now, the russians switched sides to join the Axis entente with Italy and Japan; and German remnant forces joined the Allies!

Would be exciting for sure!

[dawgoneit]

what ever.
are we done yet!

[FMErwinRommel]

The IJN will strike a powerful blow against the U.S. and ANZ this turn.  Let’s see what happens.

[Desert_Admiral]

Historically it would be interesting to see what Stalin would’ve done.  After all he did lie to Churchill and Roosevelt about not pushing into Berlin.  There wasn’t much love lost between Churchill and Stalin and Churchill wanted the war to continue, this time after USSR.

[FMErwinRommel]

I’m game to try Garg’s suggestion, as a separate continuum (Back to the Future).  Since it’s so abrupt, the allies would be caught short footed.  It would be a crazy game.  How would you modify the game’s underlying politics to override the existing alliances?

But first, I want to play the current game out for a short while to see how close I could get to a Pacific victory.

S.A. & D.A.:  scramble ANZ and U.S. ftrs in Queensland against full Japan fleet?  I will roll dice after your scramble orders so you will know how many hits for your OOL.

Scramble our planes.

[FMErwinRommel]

Only 10 hits on the allies out of attack of 35 units with a power of 102.  What is your OOL?

[FMErwinRommel]

1 of 13 dd’s and subs hit; 4 of 12 cr & ftrs hit; 5 of 10 bombers,TB & BBs hit.  102 power /6 should = 17, not 10 hits.

[suprise attack]

Tip the CV’s and the BB’s then the ss and 1 dd

[FMErwinRommel]

tip 4 cv, 2 bb and sink the sub, that leaves 3 hits, 3 dd’s not 1, which country?

[FMErwinRommel]

I chose 3 dd’s, leaving 1 ANZ and 1 U.S.  Round 2: 15 hits  Need new OOL.
