Axis & Allies 1914: Round Robin
-
Round Three: Could this be the last chance for the Axis to peak out military and not suffer the inevitable decline, with the U.S.A. powerhouse of an economy coming across the Atlantic? GE. builds 2 troopers & tank(in Romanian Minor Industrial Complex), fighter, sub., &, 3 troopers.
Forces in Eastern Front will try to retake Baltic States, losses are heavy, the attacker is nearly wiped out, with only a GE. armor unit remaining, but, the Baltic States are reconquered. Also forces from Bessarabia take W. Ukraine, threating a breakout to the Ukraine.
In Med. Sea lone It. transport off Transjordan, allows GE. 2 troopers to land, &, take out lone British defending trooper, for no lost, also the Suez is closed for traffic!
Meanwhile on the Western Front, sub. & transport, land a trooper & tank onto Scotland. Defending trooper & GE. trooper are lost, Scotland falls for this partial Sealion invasion!
Two fighters each from Norway & Denmark, attack in sea zone #125 British DD & C, both fighters lost, &, a DD is sunk. Losses IPCs 80, Soviets 55, British Empire 14.
Peace breaks out! Axis want to stay in power, before the U.S. economy runs them over. Also Africa is a very lost cause, with the Med. Sea & airspace practically a Allied franchise, reinforcements cannot get there to make much of a difference. Except for a damaged It. BB & transport, Axis sea power will not make a difference. British have a BB, A.C with a T.B., DD, transport, &, U.S. navy is about to enter the Med. Sea.
As for Scotland, the U.S. is ready to land transports with land forces to liberate Scotland, while the British could sink the last of GE. sea power, the sub. & transport.
Axis will leave all of Poland & Baltic States as long as they are independent and neutral(that way the Soviets cannot claim them). Also open the Danish Straits and leave Norway, as long as they are neutral and still trade with Germany, leave Scotland if they are granted a commonwealth status by the British. Along with It. giving up all claims to Ethiopia, Malta, Cyprus, but, keeping half of Alexandria(with GE. giving up the Transjordan). Finally Soviets get back W. Uk. & Bessarabia. The Soviets may not like it, but, it saves a lot of fighting for the Western Allies.
This falls under a tie, the Axis they lost more territory than they gain, but, major diplomatic as they are pretty much left intact. -
Round One: GE. builds Minor Industrial complex in Romania, 2 troopers, gun, mechanical infantry/mobile infantry, tank, &, submarine. Forces for a future Operation Barbarossa are marshalling, in the east(three turns from now for the invasion), movement of 3 troopers & gun to N. Italy, forces for a knockout blow to France getting ready for this turn, also any forces left over for a potential weakening of British air & sea forces(potential Sea Lion attack this/next round).
Final invasion of France begins, losses are heavy, but, for the Allies it is worst, France falls! Losses IPCs British Empire 13, France 38, GE. 26. At sea fleet off Berlin attack 2 Allied Cruisers off Norway, BB & C versus 2 Cs, Allied fleet wiped out, for only a damaged BB.
While British BB & C off Scotland are sunk from 2 GE. subs. and fighter & T.B. from W. Europe(a sub. is lost, planes land in Norway). A follow up transport lands a trooper from Norway & Denmark, into undefended Scotland(I allowed this as a house rule). While 3 subs. sink a British DD & transport off Wales, for a lost of a submarine. Losses IPCs Fr. 12, British Empire 39, &, GE. 12.
British Empire builds tank & trooper in S. Africa, trooper, gun, DD, &, fighter. Moves from Ontario trooper to Quebec. Also Canadian DD & transport carrying trooper & tank, heads for Europe. The former attacks GE. 2 subs. off Wales with fighter from U.K., both subs sunk for lost of DD(fighter lands on A.C. stationed off Gibraltar). The latter lands onto Scotland trooper & tank, with trooper & fighter from U.K. attacking also. Both defending GE. troopers are destroyed for lost of 2 troopers. Along with BB & DD off U.K., attacking GE. damaged BB & C off Norway(all lost). Also fighter from U.K. attacking & sinking transport off Scotland. Losses IPCs British Empire 42, &, GE. 57.
Off Gibraltar on Atlantic side, a DD goes to off Scotland(to protect transport), &, a C off S. America heads for Gibraltar. Also a A.C. with T.B. heads to S. France to join Fr. fleet from Gibraltar, &, a fighter from Egypt lands on the A.C. Meanwhile transport off Egypt takes trooper & gun to Ethiopia and with trooper from Sudan, versus, Italy’s 2 defending trooper. Axis wiped out for a lost of a trooper, Ethiopia is freed!
From S. Africa Commonwealth DD heads for Red Sea, with 2 troopers head for Egypt. Forces in Alexandria retreat to Egypt(sans a trooper), to prevent any future Italian Blitz maneuver. Losses It. 6, &, British Empire 3 IPCs.
Italy builds fighter. Trooper moves from Italian to undefended British Somaliland, transports land from Albania onto undefended British Jordan tank & trooper, and, transport lands trooper unto undefended Malta & Cyprus. Italian air & sea fleets attack Allied fleet off S. France, BB & 2 Cs & DD & 2 fighters, versus, Fr. C & DD, and, British C, &, A.C. with fighter & T.B. Only British C & aircraft survive(they land at Egypt & Tunisia). Losses Fr. 20, British 16, &, Italy 72 IPCs.
Tunisia & Alexandria taken for a lost of a trooper(3 IPCs), &., losses Fr. trooper (3 IPCs) & British fighter & trooper (13 IPCs). Invades S. France from N. Italy, wipes out defending trooper & gun(7 IPCs), for lost of a gun(4 IPCs). Even with the lost of Ethiopia, Italy has taken over 7 territories, unfortunately they have a value total of 5(much less the lost of practically the whole fleet & air). For this round Italy collects only 10 IPCs(to try to make up for nearly eight times that amount in losses!).
France cannot build, moves DD to Red Sea from Fr. Madagascar, trooper in Morocco goes to Algeria, &, trooper from Fr. West Africa heads for Egypt. Also trooper from Normandy enters S. France & destroys Italian gun(trooper lost). Losses IPCs Fr. 3 & It. 4.
The Neutrals(for now) U.S.S.R. builds A.A. gun, trooper, gun, mechanical infantry, &, 2 tanks. Moves forces to prepare for a defense in depth, with a reserve in case Germany attacks the Soviets. Also sub. leaves to join fleet off Baltic States.
U.S.A. builds A.C. , T.B., &, submarine.
Round Two: GE. builds BB, C, sub., transport, &, 6 troopers. More adjustment for the pending invasion of the Soviet Union, an armor unit joins Italian forces in S. Italy.
Off Scotland Brit. DD & transport attacked by sub. & fighter & T.B., with no losses either side, aircraft land in Norway(sub. retreats). Bomber from Germany attacks the only Allied ship in Med. Sea, a Brit. Cruiser off S. France, no losses either side. Sub. off Berlin attacks DD off London(both are lost, sub. sank due to defending fighters). IPCs lost GE. 6 & Brits. 8.
Finally, forces in France rollover undefended Normandy, France has completely fallen!
U.S.S.R. builds fighter, tank, &, 3 troopers. Strengthens Eastern Front line, sub. will no longer try to join main fleet, but, will station itself at Sea Zone #125.
U.S.A. builds 2 transports, C, &, Tactical Bomber, while building up forces.
British Empire builds mechanical infantry in S. Africa, C & sub., tank & trooper. Transport picks up trooper & gun from Ethiopia , &, lands them in Italian occupied Jordan garrison by trooper & gun(IPCs lost U.K. 4 & It. 9). Jordan is retaken for a lost of a gun! Three troopers & tank moving up from S. Africa to Egypt. Commonwealth DD joins Fr. DD off Egypt.
Meanwhile 2 Cs off S. France & from S. America move to Med. Sea side of Gibraltar(the latter will eventually head for London). While a fighter from Egypt sinks a It. transport off Cyprus(IPCS lost It. 7). Transport & sub. off Scotland, former goes back to Canada, &, latter goes & sinks GE. sub. in Sea Zone #125(for no lost, GE. IPCs lost 6).
Italy builds a cruiser, transport returns to N. Italy(more for safety, than anything else). Undefended Ethiopia is retaken by trooper originally from It. Somaliland. Forces in Tunisia(gun & trooper) take Algeria protected by two Fr. troopers, with help of a mech. infantry from Tubrok, for a lost of a gun(IPCs lost It. 4, &, Fr. 6).
Fr. again cannot build, DD arrives off Egypt, while trooper in Eq. Africa still on way to Egypt.
Round Three: GE. this round attacks the Soviets, even thought events have started to go sour for Italy, in North Africa & Med. Sea. Also no more Sea Lion attempts will be possible, with an pending attack opening a new front in the East, much less the GE. navy penned in the Danish Straits. Any attacks eastwards have to be quick and decisive, as a three front war(west, south, &, east) will doom the Axis powers.
GE. builds in Romania 2 tanks and fighter, submarine and trooper and fighter in Normandy, trooper in W. GE., &, mech. infantry in Germany. Two troopers in N. Italy move onto It. transport(debark onto Sicily & Sardinia), with fighter flies from Norway to N. Italy. While transport off Berlin takes a trooper to Norway, from Germany. Also forces are adjusted on W. Front coastal territories, in case of any future Allied sea landings. A T.B. from Norway fails to sink a Brit. DD, in sea zone #124, while a sub. off Berlin sinks a Russian sub. in sea zone #125(sub. is lost also, but, kicks off Operation Barbarossa). Also GE. BB & C off Berlin, attack Soviet BB & transport sea zone #115 off Vyborg, all is lost but for a damaged GE. BB. Losses GE. 18 & Soviet 33.
German land/air forces attack the entire length of the Eastern Front. Bessarabia, Eastern Poland, &, Baltic States all fall(the Soviets have pull back their forces last round, leaving only a symbolic trooper in each area). Germans wait for the inevitable counterattacks, while bomber flies back to Norway. Losses GE. 6 & Soviets 9 IPCs.
Soviets build sub., tank, 3 troopers, mechanical infantry, &, gun. There’s nothing like a damaged enemy BB, to waste good airpower on, where a GE. damaged BB off Baltic States, attacked by fighter & T.B.(BB sunk & fighter lost, T.B. lands Novgorod). Except for a GE. transport, Danish Straits has no naval presence.
Counterattacks, limited on the Eastern Front, try to retake E. Poland & Baltic States, to force the Axis on their Southern flank to curtail their offense into Caucasus. From W. Uk. 6 troopers, 2 guns, 3 tanks, &, fighter(lands in Uk.), versus, GE. 6 troopers, 2 guns, tank, fighter, &, T.B. Eastern Poland retaken, with only 3 Soviet tanks left. From Belarus & Novgorod forces attempt to retake the Baltic States. Here 12 troopers, 2 mech. infantry, 2 guns, tank, &, fighter, versus, GE. 6 troopers, 3 guns, tank, fighter, &, T.B. Baltic States retaken, with only a Soviet tank, Mech. Infantry, &, gun left. Losses heavy both sides, IPCs lost Soviets 93 & GE. 127.
U.S.A. builds BB, tank, AA gun, &, trooper. The U.S. is a potent force for either N. Africa/Western Europe, depending how British Empire does on its turn.
British Empire builds transport & BB. Forces still coming from S. Africa going to Egypt, tank & 2 troopers, for no lost, retake Ethiopia from It. trooper. Forces from Egypt fail to retake Alexandria, but, wipe out both sides(It. losses 3 troopers, mech. infantry, &, tank for 19 IPCs, &, Brits. losses trooper, gun, &, tank for 13 IPCs). Fighter & T.B. used in the attack, return to Egypt, joined by trooper from Jordan. Also transport leaves Red Sea to go to Ethiopia, while C off Gibraltar goes to off Egypt.
Transport off Canada pick up trooper, &, debarks onto Scotland, joined by DD sea zone #124, along with empty transport arriving off Wales. Also C from Gibraltar arrives off London.
It. builds for S. Italy a tank & 2 troopers, a trooper for N. Italy. Mech. Infantry rolls into undefended Morocco and takes over, transport(escorted by C) lands trooper & tank onto Libya & Tobruk, with trooper from Tobruk entering Alexandria to garrison it(all of N. Africa has a unit, to protect from any Allied sea landings). Fighter flies from S. Italy to S. France(to reinforce trooper there).
Fr. cannot build, DD off Egypt attacks It. C & transport off Malta for no lost(IPCs lost 19 It.). Trooper arrives into Sudan, on way to Egypt. -
Round Four: Ge. builds 2 troopers & tank in Romania, sub. off Berlin, fighter & trooper W. Germany, trooper in Germany, &, 3 troopers in France. Fortify forces for sea invasion in W. Europe, forces are static in S. Europe, while a tank from GE. & W. GE. move towards Eastern Europe(Soviet tanks are posed to overrun Poland & Germany).
Forces from the southern units in Bessarabia & Romania will try to retake Eastern Poland, W. Uk., &, Uk.(Baltic States are just too far), with help from a T.B. & bomber station in Norway. All objectives are reached, with a lone tank, defending Poland. Still the Caucasus are opened for Axis forces. IPCs lost GE. 32 & Soviets 50.
U.S.S.R. builds in Russia, 3 tanks, mech. infantry, &, gun, and, in Leningrad tank, &, 2 troopers. Counterattacks in the north and center, while holding in the south. Eastern Poland and Western Uk. is retaken, losses IPCs Soviets 8 & GE. 22. Meanwhile sub. goes to Sea Zone #125.
U.S.A. builds 2 transports, DD, &, 2 tanks. Fleet from east coast moves to Morocco, and, defending It. mech. infantry destroyed for no lost. Landing 2 tanks, 2 troopers, gun, &, mechanical infantry, Fr, Morocco is freed. Meanwhile from east coast, bomber & T.B. fly to Scotland. IPCs lost It. 4.
British Empire builds transport, 2 tanks, 2 troopers, &, gun. Trooper enters undefended British Somaliland from Ethiopia & frees it. Also transport picks up from there a trooper & gun, that debarks onto Egypt. Along with trooper from Egypt enters and frees Alexandria, after defeating It. trooper. Also T.B. & fighter attack a trooper on Cyprus & Malta, destroying both, for no lost. Losses IPCs It. 9.
From U.K. British fleet shells & lands forces onto Norway, both sides lose 2 troopers. Along with DD off Scotland coast moves to off London. Also fighter sinks transport off Berlin, while 2 U.K. fighters attack Holland & destroy a trooper(for no lost). IPCs lost Brits. 6 & GE. 16.
It. builds tank & trooper for S. Italy, &, tank for N. Italy. Reinforces S. France with tank & trooper from Italy, also fighter from S. France attacks Fr. DD off Malta, with no results(fighter lands in Tobruk). Forces in N. Africa, concentrate themselves in Tobruk & Algeria.
Fr. cannot build, moves trooper from Syria to Jordan, &, from Sudan to Egypt. DD joins Allied fleet off Egypt.
Round Five: GE. buil… Peace breaks out! The Axis sue for Peace. Italy has no way to get forces to N. Africa, her unreinforced army is facing U.S. forces from the west, &, Brits. & Fr. from the East. Half of her forces in Italy are Germans, and, they also garrison her main islands. Also 2 troopers & a tank is all she has to defend S. France, much less no forces in Malta & Cyprus.
Germans if they were fighting just the Soviets, maybe they would come out on top, but, with British Empire & U.S.A. getting ready for invasion of Western Europe, it has become one front to many. What is the use of breaking out to the Caucasus, if you are losing Western Europe(like Norway), much less Soviet forces on the border of Poland. The inability to hold onto the front line Soviet provinces, much less break out to the second line of Soviets provinces dooms Germany.
Italy gives up claims in Eastern Africa(Ethiopia & It. & British Somaliland), returning Fr. Tunisia & Algeria to the French, giving back Tobruk to the British, along with Malta. Along with S. France back to the French. Also giving up any claims to Morocco & Jordan. She keeps Cyprus, losses the right to militarized anything outside of Italy, her navy stays in home waters(also allied naval forces can use It. naval bases).
GE. gives up Bessarabia, UK., Denmark, &, all of France. Also give up Poland(to forces the Soviets to give up Eastern Poland, knowing the Western Allies, went to war because of Poland), and, it to stay neutral. Splits Holland & Belgium with the Allies(no military units in those countries), keeps her navy to home waters, &, allied ships can use Germany’s ports. Leaving the Danish Straits opened,( also considering losing Norway, makes it hard to keep it close). Minor Victory for the Allies, as the Axis powers, even thought trimmed, are still lethal.
Pellulo -
Howdy, I hope to start of a Most Limited RoundRobin of the Arctic Battle For G.I. Joe.
Powered by Axis & Allies Format and Rules.
Using the 8 types of units given in the game only.
Two are the same, the C & A.C. Even thought about six more different units I use in the game, are House Ruled, and, given equally to each side(they will not be in the RR), thanks, Pellulo -
Final Round Robin will be all combatants, played in a twelve round game(each round is 6 months, the first one will not be played, as the game starts on Round Two, leaving behind the fall of Poland & “The Phony War” ).
Also historically minor & major Allies will enter the game: Round 4 U.S.S.R. , Greece, &, Yugoslavia, for the Allies,
Iraq(for only one turn), &, Finland & Bulgaria from Rounds 4 to 11, for the Axis,
U.S.A. & Iraq Round 5 for the Allies,
Brazil Round Six, for the Allies,
Persia Round Seven, for the Allies, &,
Finland Neutral & Bulgaria for the Allies Round 11.
Victory conditions: For the Axis, take any two Allied capitals(Paris is probably the first),
For the Allies, complete military victory over the Axis powers,
Round Two: GE. builds transport, fighter, &, in Germany a trooper and 2 mechanical infantry, &, minor industrial complex in Romania. Possibility of a major Sea Lion assault, taking London has the highest priority, even higher than taking Paris. Until then, when war with the Soviets begin, it will be more of a defensive nature in the Eastern Front, and, help garrison Italy.
Move/adjust forces in Eastern Front, with reserve behind the front line, send 2 troopers, gun, &, tank to N. Italy. Organize forces on Western Front for any Allied Sea landings. Also trooper & tank board transport for Sea Lion. Losses are heavy both sides(with the Allies scrambling their fighters to sink a sub. off Wales, still a tank & trooper are landed in Scotland). All British naval units are sunk, air dominance about even both sides. Losses IPCs GE. 59, Fr. 12, &, British Empire 87.
Meanwhile an attack on France, losses again are heavy, all air used for Sea Lion, so none was available for the attack on France. IPCs losses GE. 24 & Fr. 38.
Soviets build A…A. gun, trooper, gun, Mech. infantry, &, tank. Adjustment of forces in regards to a possible Axis attack, sub. heads for Sea Zone #125, while transport heads for U.K.(Danish Straits are not closed to the Soviets).
U.S.A. builds A.C. & T.B. & transport. In case of war, America wants to be ready for it.
British Empire builds tank for S. Africa, Cruiser, tank & 3 troopers for U.K. Two troopers from S. Africa head for Egypt, &, Commonwealth DD heads for Red Sea. Trooper from Sudan & another transported from Egypt, invade It. Ethiopia, free it for lost of a trooper. Forces in Alexandria retreat to Egypt, while a C from S. America, heads for Mediterranean Sea. DD off Gibraltar sinks GE. sub. in English Channel, while fighter from U.K. sinks GE. transport off Scotland, lands on A.C. off Gibraltar(Atlantic Ocean side, also another fighter from U.K. lands in Gibraltar). A.C. enters Med. Sea off Gibraltar, while DD from Canada heads for Gibraltar.
Meanwhile a transport from Canada lands a trooper & tank onto Scotland(trooper from Ontario moves to Quebec), with a fighter & trooper from UK., versus, invading GE. trooper & tank. Scotland is freed for a lost of 2 troopers. Losses IPCs British Empire 9, It. 6, GE. 22.
It. builds fighter. Forces in Tobruk occupied undefended Alexandria, while 2 troopers from Libya along with a mechanical infantry from Tubruk, invade Fr. Tunisia(both sides lose a trooper). Transport from N. Italy leaves with a trooper & GE. tank(that boarded in GE. last turn), the trooper lands in undefended Malta.
Off S. France for a cost of a damaged BB (& C), have just sank a Fr. C & DD. Also off Egypt a C & DD(with two fighters from Italy) attack a British C & fighter. For a lost of a DD & fighter, the Brit. C & defending fighter based in Egypt are destroyed. Tank & trooper from transport, take over undefended Jordan.
Meanwhile forces from N. Italy defeat Fr. trooper & gun, in S. France, for a lost of a trooper. Losses IPCs It. 25, Fr. 30, &, Brits. 22.
Fr. cannot build any units, DD arrives in the Red Sea. Trooper in Morocco joins trooper in Libya, while trooper in U.K. goes to Scotland, to reinforce Canadian tank. Also trooper in Syria enters Jordan(held by German trooper & tank), &, each side loss a trooper.
Round Three: GE. Minor Industrial Unit builds 2 tanks & fighter in Romania, 7 troopers(3 in France), 2 mech. infantry, a gun, &, submarine. Still positioning forces on Eastern Front for next turn, of a limited attack, as large scale attacks along the whole Eastern Front seem to always fizzle out. Perhaps a solid thrust toward a major city area, while the rest of the front, protects the flanks.
From an It. transport, a GE. tank arrives at Tobruk, along with a Tactical Bomber flown onto the area. Normandy is taken for no losses. With shelling, a fighter, forces landed, &, Scotland retaken again. Losses in IPCs GE. 3 & Fr. 6 and U.K.6.
Soviets build 3 tanks, 2 guns, trooper, &, mech. infantry. Preparing defense in depth, with a main reserve behind the front line. Transport arrives off U.K. Sea Zone 110.
U.S.A. builds 2 transports, tank, gun, mech. infantry, &, submarine.
British Empire builds BB, fighter, &, trooper. Transport leaves Wales & heads back to Canada, while for a lost of trooper Scotland is retaken from GE. trooper.
Meanwhile C from S. America continues to U.K., a DD Atlantic side of Gibraltar joins British Fleet(off Med. Sea side of Gibraltar) of DD & A.C.(fighter & T.B.). Fleet goes to off S. France, &, for no lost sinks It. damaged B.B. & Cruiser(fleet fighter lands in Egypt). Also fighter from Gibraltar attacks It. transport off Libya, fails to sink it, &, lands in Egypt. Two trooper & tank from S. Africa arrive in Langanvika Territory, while transport takes back trooper from Ethiopia to Egypt, escorted by Commonwealth DD. IPCs lost British 3, GE. 3, &, It. 32(twenty from a damaged BB).
Italy builds… Trooper in It. Somaliliand retakes undefended Ethiopia. Transport off Libya goes to S. Italy & returns with 2 troopers landed in Tobruk, while another transport off Egypt picks up trooper from Malta & lands it in undefended Fr. Syria.
Trooper & mechanical infantry enter Fr. Algeria from Tunisia, defended by 2 Fr. troopers(all lost). Finally 2 fighters from N. & S. Italy fly to Egypt to join forces from Alexandria & Jordan invading Egypt. Italy is throwing everything they got, including the proverbial kitchen sink to take Egypt(leaving only GE. forces in Italy to garrison it). Two fighters, 2 tanks, 5 troopers, gun, &, mech. infantry, versus, British 2 fighters, tank, 2 troopers, &, 2 guns. Only British tank survived the battle. IPCs lost It. 56 , Fr. 6, &, British Empire 37, except for forces in S. France & Albania, Italy & home islands have no defense. Also for forces in Alexandria & Syria, the rest of N. Africa & Mid. East has no defense.
Fr. cannot build anything, has DD in Red Sea. -
Round Four: GE. builds in Romania 2 troopers & tank, sub., fighter, trooper, in Normandy 2 troopers and T.B. The Axis try to deal with Greece & Yugoslavia, armor goes from Normandy to help reinforce GE. forces from N. Italy in Yugoslavia, it falls! (IPCs lost GE. 3, &, Yugoslavia 15). Italy will have to deal with the Greeks on their turn(which has GE. worried), as the Greeks invade Albania & take out the defending It. infantry(they also lose a trooper). IPCs lost 3 each side.
The Attack in the East Begins!, centered on Eastern Poland, it falls, losses are IPCs GE. 12 & Soviets 30. The problem is, can GE. hold onto E. Poland, &, not get caught up in flip-flopping the same territories each turn, the flanks are strongly held. Soviet BB damaged off Vyborg due to sub. & fighter attack, sub. also lost(IPCs lost GE. 6 & Soviets damaged BB). Bulgaria sends 3 troopers to Romania & leaves one home(in case Greece tries something). Also Finland occupies Soviet territories of Vyborg & Karelia with 2 troopers each, &, Iraq forces of 2 troopers, on the way to Africa, enter Jordan.
Western European coastline is reorganize in case of any future Allied landings. Scotland falls again, with C shelling, &, in Sea Zone #125 BB & sub. sink Soviet sub.(also GE. sub. lost, for IPCs of 6 lost each side).
Finally in N. Africa, from Tobruk T.B. & tank will attempt to take Egypt, defended by lone British armor unit. Egypt falls!, for no losses, &, somewhat annoyed Italians. Losses IPCs British 6. Could this be the high-water mark of the Axis powers?
U.S.S.R. out of need joins the Allies this turn, builds 2 tanks, gun, 2 mech. infantry, &, 1 trooper. Soviets will counterattack just E. Poland & maybe try to kick out the Finns, &, hold in North & South of the Eastern Front. Eastern Poland retaken, with very high losses for the Soviets, but, it was a crucial area to retake(GE. has a massive IPCs for purchases for the next round). IPCs losses Soviets 42 & GE 61. Also Karelia retaken from Finns, losses Soviets IPCs 4 & Finns 6. The Germans can rebuild most of what they lost next round, the Soviets cannot.
Finally damaged BB sinks GE. sub. off Berlin(GE. IPCs losses 6).
U.S.A. builds BB & C.
British Empire builds T.B. in South Africa, transport, fighter, &, trooper. Transport in Red Sea heads for Tanganyika territory & picks up 2 S. African troopers, while armor retakes Ethiopia from defending It. trooper, for no lost. From S. France A.C. with T.B. & escorting DD go off Libya, &, sinks undefended It. transport. Meanwhile C from South America arrives off Egypt, along with T.B. from A.C., &, attack It. C & transport, only British Cruiser survives. Allies control the Med. Sea, no Axis naval forces. Earlier a fighter from Home Islands landed on A.C.(flew unopposed over Holland & France), it does not have the range to combat so it had to land, but, it gives overall air power to the Allies. Losses IPCs Brits. 11 and It. 29.
Transport arrives in Canada & trooper boards it, BB from Home fleet & fighter sinks GE. BB at Sea Zone#125(Allied fighter lost & BB is damaged), while C & DD sinks GE. C & transport off Scotland(DD is lost). Scotland is retaken, for no lose, from defending GE. trooper. Losses IPCs British Empire 18 & GE. 42. Axis have no navy in the North Sea.
Italy builds in N. Italy fighter & 3 troopers. With both transports sunk, cannot try to retake Albania/attack Greece, much less send badly needed reinforcements to N. Africa(no spare troopers to just walk into undefended N.W. French Africa!). Two troopers move from Tobruk to Alexandria, to link up with GE. Africa Corps.
Fr. cannot build, DD stays put in Red Sea.
Round Five: GE. builds to try to keep the assualt on the Eastern Front going, reinforce Italy, take out those pesky Greeks & Brits., &, reinforce the Western Front. Unfortunately funds never seem to be enough, in Rumania & Germany 2 tanks & mechanical infantry, France trooper & gun, W. Germany a transport, trooper, & 2 mech. infantry. Armor rolls over undefended Sudan, but, fails to retake Ethiopia defended by British tank(both are lost). Dive bomber from Alexander sinks British C off Egypt(in turn it is destroyed, total IPCs lost so far GE. 17, &, Brits. 18). The Africa Corps is no more!
In Norway a trooper goes to help defend Finland, while a Finnish trooper goes back to Finland from occupied Vyburg. Bomber from Norway sinks damaged British BB in Sea Zone #125. Trooper from France reinforces Holland, while a T.B. from Normandy & fighter from W. Germany try to sink 2 Allies transport off Wales(the GE. fighter is lost to a defending British fighter, which is also destroyed, &, the T.B. sinks a Soviet transport). Meanwhile T.B. from Poland & fighter from Denmark, sink a damaged Soviet BB off Germany(the fighter is also lost). Losses IPCs so far, GE. 20, British Empire 30(included damaged BB), &, Soviets 27(include a damaged BB). Bad day for damaged Allied BBs.
Finally an attack on Greek forces in Albania, all wiped out the 3 defending troopers by GE. forces that conquered Yugoslavia(losses IPCs GE. 7 & Greeks 9). Greece is left undefended!
Attacks on the Eastern Front. Forces from Romania take Bessarabia, losses GE. 12 and Bulgaria 6, &, Soviets 25. Also forces from Poland & Hungary take Eastern Poland, losses GE. 10 & Soviets 26.
The Axis even with reduce forces control most of N. Africa & the Mid. East, there are a total of six troopers(half are Italians & the rest are from Iraq). The problem for the Axis is a counter-coup that throws Iraq in to the Allied camp. Iraq symbol of GE. is replaced with one from the British Empire, Jordan is automatically freed from Italy(where 3 troopers from Iraq where recently), 2 troopers in Jordan enter & dispose of an defending It. trooper in Syria, while the remaining trooper enters undefended GE. occupied Egypt & frees it! Losses IPCs It. 3. Not bad for a minor Ally.
Soviet Union builds fighter, 2 tanks, &, 5 troopers. Forces from Karelia take back Vyoburg, lost IPCs Finland 3. From Baltic States forces retake Eastern Poland, losses IPCs Soviets 6 & Ge. 10. Also from Karelia & Novgorod forces take over Finland, losses IPCs GE. 3 and Finland 3, &, Soviets 6. There is not enough forces to retake Bessarabia, only to fortify W. Uk. & Urkraine. The entire Eastern Front is defended thinly & with little reserves, especially behind the front lines!
United States of America enters the war!, builds 2 transports, 2 tanks, trooper & gun. Moves fleet from East Coast, will leave N. Africa & Mid. East to Brits. & Iraq forces. Instead focus on a Western European sea landing(Northern, and, Southern, are secondary targets).
British Empire builds transport, gun, &, 2 fighters. T.B. flies from S. Africa to Egypt to help defend with Iraq trooper. Transport off Fr. Madagascar lands a trooper into undefended It. Somaliland, and, another trooper into undefended German occupied Sudan. Commonwealth DD joins British fleet(from off Malta) that has moved to Egyptian waters.
Transport from Canada drops trooper onto Scotland, while C from N.Sea joining another transport as escort. This transport from off Wales, goes to Eastern U.K., picks up trooper & tank. They are landed in Norway, along with shelling from Cruiser. All GE. defenders of a trooper & bomber wiped out, along with landed forces, Norway is still in GE. hands but undefended! Losses Brits. 9 & GE. 15 IPCs.
It. builds T.B. & trooper. Two troopers abandon Alexandria & move back to Tobruk, joined from fighter from N. Italy(retreating for now, makes it hard for the Allies to attack them with all their combine forces).
Fr. cannot build, DD joins Allied fleet off Egypt.
Round Six: GE. builds 3 tanks in Romania, tank & mech. infantry and gun in Germany, sub. & 2 troopers Western Germany, mech. infantry in France, &, trooper in Normandy. Readjusting defense of Western European coastline, while transport brings 2 troopers to garrison Norway. Also forces in Albania move & take over Greece. Bulgaria sends back a trooper to garrison its homeland, &, GE. reinforcements move eastward.
With forces from Bessarabia, Romania, &, T.B. from Poland, attacks to take over both Ukraines. Losses are heavy both sides, only 2 Soviets tanks in Uk. hold off a breakout into the Caucasus, while Western Uk. falls but garrison by only a Bulgarian trooper.
Meanwhile forces from Poland & Germany, attack Eastern Poland & Baltic States, both are taken. GE. forces are stretched thinly in Europe, especially forces that took Greece, could have been used in N. Africa. Still the situation on the Eastern Front has never looked so good. Losses GE. 32 and Soviets 28 IPCs, the Germans can make up for the losses in IPCs(much to the annoyance of the Germans, so can the Soviets make up for their losses). Landings will occur this round, is this the Axis highpoint in Europe?
Brazil activates 3 troopers & moves them to British Guiana( since it is a nation in the Americas, the IPCs are given to the U.S.A.).
U.S.S.R. builds fighter, 3 guns, 3 mech. infantry, &, 2 tanks. The Soviets do not have forces to retake the whole Eastern Front, much less need to prevent a breakthrough to the Caucasus, or, lose Leningrad. For political reasons will not try to take out Norway, leave that to the Western Allies. Attacks lead to Western Uk. retaken for no lost, & Baltic States also retaken(total IPCs lost Soviets 7, &, Bulgarians 3 and Germans 12). Reinforcements(which are never enough) will have to take up the slack next round, &, Western Allies need their presence shown in Europe.
U.S.A. builds transport, 3 bombers, fighter, &, Tactical Bomber. Fleet arrives to off Norway & land forces(Why not Normandy?, cause with 6 units defending it, even if taken by U.S., forces from France & Germany could probably retake it back. Even if not retaken next turn by Germany, U.S. cannot use the Industrial Complex for any builds. By taking Norway, the U.S. can build a minor industrial complex, fend off any German counterattacks, and either make another landing and/or join the Soviets on the Eastern Front. Finally the Danish Straits get opened, &, U-Boats fine it harder to get to the Atlantic). Fleet shells Norway, &, forces landed, for no losses, Norway is taken!
IPCs lost GE. 13.
Off East Coast, a transport goes to British Guiana to pick up Brazilian troopers, &, another leaves for Fr. Morocco & lands 2 tanks.
British Empire builds DD, 2 troopers, gun, &, 2 tanks. U.K. fleet with three transports & 2 fighters from U.K. attack W. Europe & W. Germany. Landing in Denmark are 2 troopers, gun, &, 2 fighters for air support, versus, GE. 2 troopers, gun, &, tank. Denmark falls for no losses!, while British C attacks and sinks GE. sub. off W. Germany(the C is lost also). Landing tank & trooper takes out both defending troopers for the lost of a trooper, W. Germany falls.
To have tried to land all forces in W. Germany was risky, as the C might have failed to eliminate the submarine(much less the A.A. gun defending against any air power), it was more of a raid, as the Italians will most likely eliminate the British tank. Still it will make some German forces on the Eastern Front, to go westward in the next round. As for the taking of Denmark for no losses was pure luck, now if the landed forces can survive the inevitable counterattack. IPCs lost British Empire 15, &, GE. 28.
It. builds 3 troopers & gun. From N. Italy two troopers go into W. Germany, &, defeat British tank(for lost of a trooper), while fighter flies through other parts of Germany(to avoid AA gun in W. Germany), &, sinks Brits. transport in Danish Straits(lands in S. Germany). Losses IPCs It. 3 & British Empire 13. Also trooper & armor go from Italy to help garrison Yugoslavia, &, armor moves from S. France to N. Italy.
The Italians realized that N. Africa & Mid-East is a lost cause, fighter abandons Tobruk & flies to S. Italy(via Egyptian waters & sinks Fr. DD worth 8 IPCs).
Italy has abandon Tubruk, Libya, British Alexandria, &, Fr. Tunisia.
Fr. cannot build, &, has just lost its last unit, a DD. -
Round 7: GE. build in Romania 2 tanks and mech. infantry, Germany tank and 2 troopers, Western Germany tank and 2 troopers. Germany will hunker down, in the west & south, but, for the east it needs to attack, in order to win this game. Trooper from Hungary heads to Greece, to release from garrison duties a mech. infantry & gun. Forces from Atlantic Wall & France attack the British Forces in Denmark, while units are juggled around, to fill in the gaps in the Atlantic Wall. Denmark is retaken, with IPCs lost GE. 3, &, British 10. The Atlantic Wall is restored!(sans Norway).
Meanwhile forces from Germany, go to help garrison Poland & Baltic States, while forces in Eastern Poland for no lost, take over Belarus. Also forces from Bessarabia & Romania try again to take both Ukraine areas, , both fall!, the road to Stalingrad is opened & Mid-East(not much of a reserve left but the Soviets are in worst shape). IPCs lost GE. 17 & Soviets 29.
Iraq trooper in Egypt moves & retakes undefended It. occupied Alexandria. Two Brazilian troopers board U.S. transport from British Guiana. Also 2 Persian troopers head to reinforce Soviet Caucasus(on the side of the Allies), &, Iraq trooper enters Persia(on way to Caucasus).
U.S.S.R. builds a T.B., 2 tanks, 2 mech. infantry, 1 gun, &, 4 troopers. Soviets must Attack, Attack , &, Attack! to stop the German blitz, everything is retaken, but, Bessarabia & Eastern Poland. Only 4 units (not counting new purchases) are left on the board of a trooper, 2 tanks, &, fighter. Soviets need Western Allies to land in Europe again this turn.
U.S.A. builds minor industrial complex in Norway, 3 transports, 4 tanks, &, mech. infantry & gun. Fleet leaves Norway & goes to off Germany, shells & lands forces with air attack(T.B. from A.C., survives A.A. fire), and, Germany falls! Another fighter from A.C. destroys gun in Poland(it is also lost), while from Norway 2 mechanical infantries arrive in Soviet Leningrad. Keeping GE. is another thing, more like a big raid, still it dilute & wastes Axis manpower to retake it.
Fighter & T.B. arrive in U.K. from East Coat, while bombers from U.K. & East Coast bomb & wipe out all defenders(2 troopers & mech. infantry) in Holland, for no losses. Bombers land in U.K. waiting for next raid.
U.S. tanks roll into & free Tunisia undefended by the occupying Italians, &, transport leaves S. America & heads for N. Africa(with 2 troopers from Brazil), along with transport from East Coast(with trooper & gun). IPCs lost U.S. 17 & GE. 31.
British Empire builds 2 tanks, 3 trooper, fighter, &, transport. S. African trooper arrives in Sudan, heading for Egypt. Fleet sans a DD(stays off Malta) goes to waters off S. France, while transport goes to Egypt & picks up Iraq trooper, returns and lands it, in Italian occupied undefended Malta. Meanwhile a DD & 2 transports in English Channel lands trooper & 2 tanks onto Normandy. While from U.K. 2 fighters & A.C.(off S. France) a fighter & T.B. join the attack, versus, GE.4 troopers, tank, &, T.B. Normandy falls!, for a lost of a trooper & fighter only. Also another trooper lands in undefended GE. occupied Holland.
Finally trooper from W. India heads for Eastern Front via Persia. IPCs lost British 13 & GE. 29.
It. builds 2 tanks. Using fighter & T.B. from S. Italy & S. Germany, and, armor from Yugoslavia & N. Italy. Now It. forces attack occupied Germany, versus, U.S. trooper, gun, &, 2 tanks. Losses all but a It. tank, Germany is back in the game!
Meanwhile trooper enter Albania to garrison it, IPCs lost It. 27, &, U.S. 19.
France cannot build & has no units.
Round Eight: GE. builds(note to keep the game going, I let GE. keep the 47 IPCs they earned in round seven, if not, then it would not be worth playing round eight), for defense only. For France, W. Germany, Germany, &, Romania three troopers are built(a tank & gun is also built for W. Germany).
Hopefully with limited offensive movements, will give GE. time to build up an adequate defense. GE. retakes Baltic States & Uk. (with total of four conquest in U.S.S.R., with only one unit in each one for defense, to buy time in order to build up local units, &, a geographic buffer against the oncoming Soviet forces). Also retake Holland for no lost, a gun & mech. infantry leave Denmark for Germany, and, the final IPCs lost GE. 12, British 3, &, Soviets 21.
U.S.S.R. builds transport, fighter, tank, 4 mechanical infantry, &, 2 guns. Forces from Russia retake Uk., thus blocking GE. drive to the Caucasus, along with Baltic States, &, Eastern Poland retaken. All that in not retaken of the U.S.S.R. is Bessarabia, &, the Axis no longer has any units to spare for the Eastern Front. Losses IPCs Soviets 20, &, GE. 23.
Trooper from Iraq moves to Syria, while 2 troopers from Persia enters Caucasus heading for Eastern Front.
U.S.A. builds 3 tanks in Norway, &, 2 troopers, mech. infantry, 2 gun, T.B., &, 2 bombers in East Coast. Four bombers, T.B., &, fighter, attack GE. forces in France & Holland. All Axis units of 5 troopers & tank destroyed for a lost of U.S. bomber & T.B.(bombers land in Norway & fighter on A.C. in Danish Straits). Two mechanical infantry off Leningrad roll into undefended occupied Poland(Poland the first occupied Allied nation is freed!).
Also U.S. fleet in Danish Straits lands 3 tanks in Poland, while 2 transports leave fleet to return to East Coast. Losses IPCs U.S.A. 23 & GE. 21.
Off East Coast transport leaves with mech. infantry & gun for N. Africa, meanwhile from Tunisia a tank rolls into undefended It. Libya & Tobruk. Also a second tank boards a British transport off Libya & a fighter lands in Algeria(from East Coast). Africa is Axis Free!
Off S. France a U.S transport lands trooper & gun, versus, It. 2 troopers & gun, losses a trooper & gun each side. Losses IPCs 7 each side. Also another 2 transport arrive off S. France.
Brazilian 3 troopers debark off U.S. transports onto S. France, versus, It. trooper. S. France is freed for no lose(It. losses 3 IPCs).
British Empire builds fighter, T.B., 2 troopers, &, 2 tanks. Trooper from Sudan reaches Egypt, from India reaches Persia, &, from Malta DD & transport with trooper to land on undefended Sicily(Sicily falls!). From Normandy 2 tanks roll through undefended France & attack in N. Italy, along with T.B. and fighter from A.C. off S. France & another fighter from U.K.(no lost due to A.A. fire), versus, It. tank, gun, & , 2 troopers. Lost British T.B. & fighter, &, It. lose all units, N. Italy falls! IPCs losses British Empire 23, &, Italy 16. Remaining fighter returns to A.C.
From U.K. 3 transports with DD escort land in undefended Holland, a trooper(Holland falls!). Also the fleet moves to off Germany & lands 2 troopers, gun, &, 2 tanks(with fighter from U.K., no A.A. lost), versus, GE. 3 troopers, mech. infantry, &, gun. Losses British fighter & trooper(13 IPCs), & GE. all(17 IPCs). Germany goes down again!
Italy builds 2 troopers & tank. Using forces from W. Germany & Southern Italy, 4 troopers & tank versus British 2 tanks in occupied Northern Italy. Losses It. 2 troopers(6 IPCS) & Brits. 2 tanks(12 IPCs), Northern Italy is freed!
France builds 2 Mech. Infantry & 2 guns. Forces(built from a one time bonus of 12 IPCs) in France attack W. Germany, tank & 2 troopers versus GE. 3 troopers, gun, &, tank. Losses Fr. all(12 IPCs) & GE. 2 troopers & gun(10 IPCs). Losses are quite acceptable, as this weakens any German attempt, to try to retake Berlin using forces based in W. Germany.
Round Nine: GE. cannot build, sans a trooper all forces abandon Demark & leave Western Germany, to move to N. Italy. Along with a trooper from Yugoslavia moves to N. Italy. While forces leave Greece for N. Italy, while Bulgarian trooper enters Greece, &, troopers from Romania enter Bulgaria & Hungary.
It seems that N. Italy is the last stand for the Germans.

Meanwhile Brazilian trooper invades N. Italy, from S. France, losses a trooper each side(3 IPCs), this attack was just to wear out the defenders(GE. tank, mech. infantry, &, It. 2 troopers & tank are still there).
British Empire builds minor industrial complex, air & naval base, &, A.A. gun for W. India, air base & A.A. gun for S. Africa, &, BB & mech. infantry.

Next final thoughts on R.R.
Pellulo -
Final thoughts on final game: Germany could have built another industrial complex in Poland(large if possible) to help feed those many reinforcements to the Eastern Front, use Finland to help reinforce Norway, stepped up sub. production to prolong the Battle of the Atlantic.
Also give up a tank, trade it in for a transport off the waters of N. Italy, in order to give some meaningful aid to the Italians in North Africa. Finally let the Iraq troopers attack Allied forces in the Mid-East, because in the next turn, they switch sides to the Allies. Along with the threat of Operation Sea Lion, but, do not bother doing it(you lose too many IPCs for an event that hardly ever seems to work).
Italy strikes hard & fast in the early rounds, but, with so little IPCs the economy overheats. Keep the navy & air intact & feed forces to N. Africa, easy pickings in S. France & Balkans, does not mean enough IPCs are available, to rebuild a shattered fleet & air arm. Keep your forces in the Med. area, sending allot of forces to the Eastern Front, is like getting sucked into a Black Hole.
U.S.S.R. prepares defense in depth, with a reserve(s) to stabilize the front lines. You want to keep the Axis from breaking into the Soviet Heartland. Keep Sea Zone #125 clear & neutralize or lessen the Danish Straits Axis fleet. Also the ability to move a space your Industrial Complexes/destroy them if capture seems immanent.
British Empire to go before the U.S.A., with at least an additional trooper in Scotland, mech. infantry in Egypt, &, fighter on Malta/bomber in U.K.
U.S.A. skip Normandy as a landing site, you cannot build a factory there, instead take Norway(with forces going by land through Finland/landings in Northern Europe). Also a large bomber fleet will help clear an occupied nation of defending Axis when a seaborne invasion is coming. Help keep U.K. from being swamped either helping in N.W. Africa & winning the Battle of the Atlantic.
France defend, defend, defend, once France falls to help in U.K. & N.W. Africa. Also a one time choice, of about a third of IPCs value in units in France, are transferred to N. Africa(for example pull out 3 troopers & gun from France & place them in N.W. Africa).

Future Round Robins? Been doing Round Robins since basic versions of Axis & Allies came out in the eighties, did them while watching David Letterman on his late night show, while my infant daughter slept in her crib(I use to work overnight shifts, so staying up late was no problem). As the game evolved to Europe & Pacific versions, specialty games like D-Day, Bulge, Guadalcanal, sub-specialty like the minis for land & sea battles, simplistic 1941, 1940 Europe(like doing global but in stages), I must have done them all.
What is left of what I would like to do, some day finish D-Day(still have about three scenarios to play), a final game for 1914, do Pacific 1940 to see what effects the Anzacs & China has on play(treating the latter as a fully independent power, gee China makes up about a third of all land partitions on the board!).
Finally redoing the old game master newer version of Fortress America.
While the other Milton Bradly games like Shogun & Conquest of the Empire, has newer versions come out, no need to redo those games. If a newer version of Broadsides & Boarding Parties(my favorite) came out, I might be tempted to round robin it again(I enjoy the Spaniard ship winning a few rounds, no cliques hero Hollywood pirates winning all the time). Definitely never doing Anniversary Axis & Allies game, that is why we have global to play. Much less any air minis game(land & sea games were great in round robin).
As for logging it down really adds to playtime. Going from some details on moves as read in Battle of the Bulge Game, to full details as seen in the current Round Robin of the Axis & Allies 1914 is allot of writing as playtime increases. More details leads to more writing, it is as simple as that. Declining health & eyesight makes it hard sometimes to play(the original Axis & Allies game board looks like a Volkswagen bug compared to a Hummer size 1940 Europe game board).
One thing I discovered is a good chunk of Round Robin of certain games, are never to be written about. As they were done in the pre-P.C./W.P. days(personal computer/word processor era), or, just played with the outcome only noted. Oh well it could have been worse, could have been noted in cuneiform, thanks, Pellulo, Enjoy!
Pellulo -
Next RoundRobin is for The Rule Driven Axis & Allies game, of G.I.Joe Battle for the Artctic. There is another rule driven game, due to come out call Battle for the Deep. Science Fiction or Supernatural ? Battle Under the Waves, on some type of the Earth.
I need to play a game/some games, so I can post the G.I. results, hopefully sometime this June 2025, thanks Pellulo
