@The-Captain said in General 6 Stars 1941 WW2 Game:
Hi General,
How is it possible for Germany to capture London on turn 4?
The UK player can see the German Build Up of Naval, Air & Land forces in preparation for Sea Lion - does the UK player then have an option to hinder the invasion from being succesful ?
What did the UK player do to prepare for the German invasion ?
“But Captain were at full power now” ! lol
Sealion happened on turn1. Turn 1 just wasn’t mentioned at start of thread. It says then on turn 2. Anyway
Germany influenced Spain on turn 1. So Germany got 6 inf, art, tank, aaa gun, fig, tac, cruiser, destroyer and a transport. Took Gib which they need to do to help Italy get the Med island bonuses and force US to go to Morocco and or Gib instead of West France. But not now ?
Does the US move fleet or fleets from Pacific to Atlantic side ? US can only go to either side on turn 1. Other wise good luck.
So Germany now has 2 extra ground from Spain with transport to go to London. Germany brings 2 SS panzers, 1 SS inf, 2 paratroopers, 1 inf and 1 general from Germany and all planes that can make it to London and land safely. The air transport was shot down with the paratroopers but with Spain ground that helped. You could still do sea lion without Spain.
But keep in mind if UK gets Radar Flak for NA then AAA guns hit at @3.
It has changed minds before. At least there’s more ways for Germany to go. They even lost Leningrad. But can make up points in Pacific and MED along with Cairo.
Pretty much can only do sea lion on turn 1 unless UK screws up later. Still keeps it in time frame. So Germany took London. Ottawa becomes new capital. Germany gets 48 icps from UK. The London factory becomes a minor worth 6. The Factory in Canada becomes a 6 build minor instead of a 3.
UK on there turn 1 took back London which they need to do to destroy the IC so Germany doesn’t get it. Neither does UK. UK will have to buy one on there turn. UK also took out all of Germany’s navy and 3 transports on there turn. Got really good dice rolls.
But last time sea lion happened the Germans had there fleet left with transports and it took until turn 4 or 5 for allies to liberate London. Just kept going back and forth for taking London until US showed up.
On turn 2 Germany had like 8 subs left over from attacking other UK fleet. Huge first strike kills plus 2 rerolls misses from Sub commander Donitz. Then Germany just went out and hit every convoy box they could reach.
That changed the game up big time. UK couldn’t get a factory in Cairo until turn 2 but not build till turn 3. Axis to much for UK to hold Cairo.
Gonna be sweet to see how the allies counter next time. May force US pacific to attack Manilla turn 3 or 4 or a US fleet goes to Atlantic side. Time will tell.
Next game Sept 23 Saturday at 8 am at the General’s Fortress in Kenosha Wis. Anybody is welcome to play and or show up and check out the game.
