Oh…
I’ve been playing wrong this entire time???
:disappointed:
Thanks for clarifying though. I’ll take that into my next physical game.
Global 1940 & 1943 Expansions Game Reports
-
It’s now Late 1942. Japan defeated China previous turn, and they now struck towards the Money Islands. With a clever fleet strategy, they manage to hold back the Allied fleet around the Carolines. They have two main fleets, the one in the Philippines, and the one around Japan. If the American fleet attacks one of them with everything it has, the combat factors are just in favour of the Americans. But with the Kamikaze tokens, and not being adjacent to friendly territory where fighters can land, this will be a very risky move.
@The-Captain Is this a good position for Japan to be in? What would you do as the US? Risk the attack on one of the two fleets? Pull back to Hawaii and wait for reinforcements? Being annoying by moving the fleet to sz 54 (the one adjacent to Queensland) and threaten to take back some of the money islands?

@victoryfirst :grin:

Looking a little rough for the commies. 30 Panzers doesn’t look good for putin. oops meant stalin. Luftwaffe wanted to support more but had to honor the threat to W Germany.
JPN a bit on it’s heels, but seems too little too late for Allies.
-
CounterAttack not looking too good
-
Think Germany gonna run outta steam. See what JPN does
-
Axis win! I’m so excited! This looks like a very tight game.
-
It looks good for Japan.
The US should make an amphibious attack against Shantung - and maybe also Kiangsu - to liberate those territories - and have the 2 Japanese Industrial Complexes destroyed.
This will slow down the Japanese advance in Asia - and give the Allies the upper hand.
The US Naval Task Force in sz 33 should stay - block sz 17 and 18 to avoid a combined Japanese attack with Naval Task Forces in sz 6 and sz 35.

I can see that ANZAC and UK have fortified the islands in the Southern Pacific - good idea:+1:
-
Clash of the Titans
Russian Victory
They were able to keep a Tank Army intact. Probably still fall to the Waffen Army to the North along with the Luftwaffe and the Panzer concentration in E POL.
Not much Allied help but a few fighters, with none coming up next turn. Guess India could send a couple. Might have to.
Down to 19 bucks. Need another Big Victory, but I suspect they’ll slowly die off at this point lol
Edit
Oh yea the Rockets forced the Waffen Army to disband. That will help.
-
Major Naval Battle in Pacific
JPN Victorious
All there BBs lived too. USA got some Air assets in Midway they can reload on new CV builds. They’ll need to lol
Forced JPN into defense a bit. They still pressured Russia with 3 wins though. UK India getting ready to Flex. Might be too late
-
Great!

It’s Early 1947 and The War Rages On
Thought the Axis would have this in hand by now but Russia holding on. Allied Fighters are helping and the Italian Fleet finally got dusted. Probably shouldn’t have scrambled but … Gonna need to do a Total Ftr build most likely. UK units are on the way, with some in Caucasus already. Been sending there two RR dudes as well.
Germany needs to Crush Moscow soon. I’m tempted to send the Luftwaffe and that solo Panzer. Idk, it’ll kill most of the German Air Force, so it better succeed.
JPN starting to lose the South Pacific.
India getting ready to breakout into China. Major battle in Yunnan coming up.
As my buddy Mick said decades ago playing Risk "Good thing I’m not a Dictator. Too many people would die ".
lol
-
It should be possible to captura Moscow - multiple Luftwaffe units are within reach of the Soviet Capital - and can land in Japanese controlled Vologda.
This game must have seen heavy losses on both sides - I don’t see many surviving troops anywhere on the game board…
RISK was our favorite game - until we discovered Axis & Allies :relaxed:

Absolutely. I was taking the ferry south to Washington from Alaska. Met a guy who told me about A&A. We had bought a Risk board for a buck at the thrift store in Homer and were playing it.
No more Risk after that lol
Germans got there asses kicked. Weak RD 1 roll. 4 hits I think and the commies countered hard. disobeyed the Fuhrer and withdrew lol

yea there was a major blood bath in late '45 I think. Recruitment has been down for both sides lol
-
Russian manpower finally exhausted. Lost there one counterattack. Brits need to get there quick. USA Air 2 turns away
-
Yunnan battle didn’t happen. UK too strong. Trying to contain with JPN. Not looking good for what i thought was a sure Axis Victory.
Heh heh it’s pretty fun finding out though lol
-
It’s just annoying that killing the Soviet Union and Egypt doesn’t let the Axis win-how’s Africa?
-
What is the Economic situation according to the Expanded National Production Chart?

It’s 214 Allies 150 Axis Early '48 G10. JPN took some major hits. Think the Allies can just sit on it and strangle now unless a miracle attack on Moscow
