@the-captain
I love this! I want to play a game of 1943 but I have no idea what strategies to use. I could use this as a starting point for developing some strategies

By the way, will there ever be a strategy guide for the 1943 setup as well?

[General 6 Stars]

Well just play and learn. He did post a turn one in above pics for some countries. Ill be setting up 43 this weekend on BBR map.
Then see how play goes.

First you should contact Cornelis Post on this forum. He (and beserker) is playing with the Axis & Allies Global 1940 House Rules Expansion - and the Axis & Allies Global 1943 House Rules Expansion - and live in Holland.

You can see his Game Report on this thread also.

Cornelis & beserker are coming to Denmark - again - in December to play with us:muscle: for 4 days.

@victoryfirst I can offer no advice on what to do but I can recommend not doing what I did G1 and push the attack on the Eastern Front only to have a communist counterattack slaughter 80% of the Waffen SS

:grin:

@barnee

Ouch. I’ll bear that in mind.

Well, a few months ago I set up the game, just to see how it looks. Then, I did a G1 and R1 for fun. I pulled a bit back as the Germans, but not enough! The Russians were able to freely move a large part of their army into Bryansk with no risk of being destroyed. The smaller German army in Rostov was almost encircled and guaranteed to be destroyed. On top of that, the territories of W Ukr and Ukr were going to be taken with no good defences being available for the Germans. So, the Germans lost their entire foothold and army in the south and the Russians threatened to push further, so I ended the game there. I wanted to have a bit more experience in the 1940 game before I move to 1943!

“Nien”. “No retreat” ! “ You will be shot” !!!

@barnee
The German Army did not retreat on the Eastern Front - it was merely a Re-group Movement - to shorten the frontlines.

The German plan for the Late 1943 Summer Offensive on the Eastern Front will bring the initiative back to the Germans.

All Waffen-SS Armies are fully equipped, 1st and 2nd Panzer Armies are operating at full strength - and 3 German Army Groups are intact and ready to fight some of the most decisive battles of World War II.

The plan is to trap the Soviet Armies should they advance on the Eastern Front - and simply wear them out by continuous attacks from multiple directions.

Remember that the German War Economy at this time of the War is extremely powerful, compared to that of the Soviet Union.

Wait and see…:relaxed:

@the-captain hee hee I knew you could sell it to hitler. I thought calling it a withdrawal might meet his approval but your approach way better :)

[SuperbattleshipYamato]

@the-captain

Definitely, as your “regrouping” was a withdrawal of units from lands hard gained from Case Blue last year. Totally not a retreat.

All in German.

[VictoryFirst]

@the-captain

Are you retreating? I said you will be shot if you even zhink about retreating!

Mein Führer! Zhis is not an retreat, but merely ein regroup!

Oh… zhen it is alright.

@the-captain what are the 4 blue based Infantry units in JPN ? Paras ?

[The Captain]

@barnee
Yes - Paratrooper units are colored with a blue base - this is the same blue base for all Nations.

We use Humbrol Paint Colors. A Conversion Table is available at Humbrol to find identical colors from other producers like Revell, Tamiya, Vallejo etc.

All types of Infantry units are color coded with the base in the same color:

• Infantry: Light Green, no. 120
• Elite Infantry: Beige Green, no. 90
• Specialized Infantry: Waffen-SS, Soviet Guard, US Marines, British Commando: Steel Grey, no. 87
• Paratrooper: Blue, no. 25
