@the_good_captain No, the Italians are doing fine :)
Wow, I had to think so hard during the German turn. I had to run a few local games to see how thinks would play out. Your Russian strategy is so great though! To beat that, I’ll need like a 1000 tanks! That counterattack on the first turn was a master move! -

I have to bring up my white flag again…
This opening went even worse than the other. The Germans have no way of beating anyone and are forced to give the Russians a huge economy. I’ve now come up with the decision that the tanks strategy doesn’t work for Germany. The tank strategy only works for nations that have a large economy and not a lot of enemies. With these rules, Germany is weaker than OOB, so the infantry purchase is better for them. Their infantry can get destroyed pretty quickly and with the UK attacking German reinforcement in Poland and Baltic states every time (that is an excellent strategy by the way) the tanks are just too exposed. In this game, the Germans are not an attacking nation but rather one that tries to attack but can’t go all out (unlike Japan which can go all out.) I suggest that I am going to run a couple of local games, trying to figure out a good Axis strategy, and getting used to the game (this is actually just my third Anniversary game with these rules, I’ve only played OOB games with NO’s without tech). After that, I will challenge you with another game, and hoping I won’t get blown up again! Unless you think this position isn’t lost as the Axis, you have more experience so you can decide these things better than me! -
What rules do you feel are not out-of-box rules?
The only advice I feel may (or may not) help is to withhold serious attacks by Germany into the USSR after G1. Maybe if your preserve your strength until game turn 5ish - and coordinate these tank assaults with the Japanese that should be coming up at that time, it will be enough to overwhelm them.
When I’m playing as the allies, I feel like I’m defeating the German attacks, then turning to face the Japanese. If they kicked off at the same time, I don’t feel sure what would happen.
-
@the_good_captain Hmm, that might be a good idea. That’s true, I have the feeling everytime that I messed up Germany a bit, but that Japan will hopefully come to the rescue.
What I said didn’t really make sense as the rules we play with are OOB of course, but with OOB I meant the standard ‘axis favoured’ rules (with no’s without tech, without dardanelles closed without fighter interception). I think I’ll need a one day break to practice with a coordinated German-Japanese assault strategy.
I also wanted to say is that I really like the games with you, and I appreciate your time and effort. I almost never play with someone, most games are solo. I’ve played like a 100 games of G40 solo, and just until round 3 against an opponent :) Playing against someone is the best learning tool for any game. Thinking your own strategies are unbeatable can quickly change if you play against pro!
-
@victoryfirst its hard to find players/opponents, even on this website. I am happy to play as many games as you like whenever you like even if there is a long hiatus. When I was putting “Classic” through its paces, I had a novel strategy - took it online here - got beat up a bunch and essentially told “you can’t play it that way” by folks who ‘knew better’. I went back to the drawing board, made some tweaks to my initial strategy and now its a (my) signature move. I was glad to play those fellows but was appalled at their reaction to someone presenting a different approach. I swore if/when the time came and the roles were reversed, I would not be critical of something new/unseen/unusual or otherwise “out of the box”.
All this to say, if you stay on this strategy and make a tweak here or there - you may indeed have something that is quite competitive. And as you allude to, if it is competitive with the optional rules calibrated as we have them, I feel you’ll only have a much easier time if they are )calibrated differently in some other game you might play. =)

I am now playing a solo game, with a ten infantry build, and the Spread-out opening. I did the counter-attack strategy as the Russians. This looks awful for Germany, or is it a common position to be in?
-
@victoryfirst I would call this “common” or “fairly common”, ya (although I can’t see the history to analyze how the attack went).
Either way, if this happened to me:
-
Italy/Germany needs to consolidate in East Poland immediately. That Italian tank is already in the wrong spot. We will be stronger than Russia in a few turns but until then, we need to preserve our strength and not lose core units. To that end, “Taking a knee” for a couple turns is totally okay. Send the Italian armor to East Poland. The Italian fighters is also available but is not necessary. I would have placed him in France but not a big deal for this example.
-
On Germany’s turn we put every non-air piece we have into East Poland. The land defense now is 7 tanks (1 Italian), 4 infantry, 2 artillery, and we should throw in one German fighter to seal the deal. To add more fighters is overkill, so I wouldn’t.

You’re flanks might look empty but USSR tanks are out of position to blitz Ukraine so he will have to send in an infantry to secure it - which is good for Germany. And in this case, since the transport is still alive, I might sealift a single german infantry into Baltic states to disallow the blitz - or ignore it as its only 1 IPC and we can possibly blitz it back later. I might sea lift a single infantry in Karelia.
Lot’s of possibilities here as Germany - looks exciting imo. I would happily pick it up here as the Axis or we could switch sides in our next game. Anyway, thanks for posting this. This was really fun to pick-a-part.

Do you mean by this you wanted to play out from this position? It would be nice if I was a native English speaker (which I am not :) but this I don’t understand :) What does ‘to pick-a-part’ mean? Never heard of that!
Anyway, I continued the game and it is now round five. I just saw your post now but I found it funny I naturally did the moves you mentioned. I thought the only way of surviving is to stack up Eastern Poland, and it worked! (As the Allies, I tried to play like you as best as I can, and it was pretty effective as well. I used to land in France every time as the Western Allies, but landing on the Baltic coast is way more effective!
