Stalingradski (Axis) vs. Antholin (Allies) A3 Game 2

  • '11

    Russia turn 1 buys: 11 Infantry & 1 Artillery=37 IPC’s.

    Non-com & unit placement. Russia collects 37 IPC’s. Do you allow Crazy Ivan to move into SZ112, passing through the Danish straits? Remember the wheat I have so generously given.

  • I do remember the wheat. It made bread for our new conscripts being trained in the Fatherland. We are very thankful. You are generous, and we value our treaty.

    But. Page 16, Paragraph 2, Subsection 4 clearly states “Crazy Ivan can NOT pass through the Straits of Denmark. Nor will any representative of the Soviet Union ask. Nor may they think about it”.

    The answer, I’m afraid, is no. Good sir.

    I’ll put it back for you… in which sea zone would you like it?  :-D

    Japan purchases a Minor IC, 2 Transports = 26 IPCs.

    To war with China!

    Combat

    Land in Siberia. It is cold here, commander! Does this mean we’re at war with the USSR, sir? Banzai!!

    Walk into Chahar.

    Walk into Anhwe.

    Wow, I have never seen that before.  :-o  I’m going to have that RAF pilot from SZ106 shot from a cannon, against the side of a scrapped Submarine. Perhaps then, he will hit the damned thing.

    SZ96.

  • I do scramble in SZ97 - 2 Germans, 1 Italian Fighter.


  • Not fair, J - the luck is absurd. I vote we either start over and play Steve’s/my version of LL, or use it next game. I’m ok either way and this one doesn’t have to count for nuthin’. I was already up a bunch of units. The Allies can’t afford to get behind this much, and I play a pretty steady and solid Axis. Your call, sir.

    I was just venting on the Sub shot. I do appreciate the offer of going the LL version. And I vote we do it for the next game. Lets keep playing this in its current state, as I did have a bit of luck on this last battle. So, this will be the last game in its current form, and then onto LL. Thanks again.


  • You got it! We fight! I will very honestly cheer for luck to turn you r way… until we’re even… and that’s it. :-)

    Non-com, unit adjustment & placement. UK London collects 33 IPC’s. UK Pacific collects 21 IPC’s.

    In SZ97, the Cruiser should not have been in the 2nd battle. However, he didn’t hit, so I won’t redo that. As I needed AC fully operational to have my units land. Sorry for the confusion.

    Good call. I’m a bad sport, as I have not been cheering for you at all. The Allies frown upon cheering at this juncture. Wah, wah, wah.

    Ooh, just remembered convoy raids off of Canada.
