[General 6 Stars]

Probably not. Unless they get some great reviews. To busy with other games right now and hopin to get couple custom tables built by the summer. One 4 x 8 table to play any of the 3 global 39 games and a 3 x 6’ table for annv., 42 games.

That is cool. I was just curious if anyone has tried them. :-D

Got my train loco’s in from a game called New England Railways. Had 72 train loco’s in game. So now I can use them in any of my games and this game.

Update after turn 7. Germany made a big push in Lenningrad and just now in front of Moscow. Looks tough for Germany because they need to get troops from Lenningrad over to Moscow. What I’ve seen so far is that the trains and supplies are the most important to get to the fronts as fast as possible. Then you have to send just the right amount of troops to Lenningrad ( and take by turn 7, help alot ) so you don’t waste any troops there and get them heading towards Moscow. Got to split the front 2 ways and get it right.  Just got to play more.

Keep the minors moving towards Stalingrad and Baku and some German troops to.

For combat casulity’s, Germany rolled quite a few high die rolls to lose some strong pieces.

Murphy’s law adds a nice little twist to game that might help either country at the right moment.

Best to 2 man game so far for me.
Trying to load map but now its telling me its to big.

Got your message. I have all the HBG train markers. Do you have pictures of these locos you bought?

There on my map update after turn 7 but know it won’t load do to to big of pic. I’ll try just the loco’s in a bit.

[John Brown]

Ok, thanks! :-D

Here they are. Perfect size. Put them next to a dice. Have 10 of 7 different colors and 2 extras. Might leave them as is because they do stand out with the color.

How would we do the transaction? Do you have a paypal account? How would you want me to send you your money?

What color are those yellowish troops and those darker tan troops in the picture?

Here’s the map after turn 7.

So I’m assuming Russia is winning the battle currently?

[General 6 Stars]

Looks that way know. Will have to see what happens in next 2 turns.

Also I think the weather chart may have to be tweaked a bit with having 1 or 2 rain or snow weather spots changed to good in each of the rows if Germany can never seem to get going.
Probably might not be playing correctly too. Just got to play more games. Just a thought.

Sorry gang, I had the current rules on BGG but the descriptions were old. Fixed that.

[John Brown]

Thank you Variable for doing that! :-)

Russia victory after 9 turns. Germany has nothing left.

[General 6 Stars]

Going to have to play alot more to figure things out. Got to get everything timed out. Russia had 53 infrantry in Moscow that defended at 6 because they drew a card for all inf defend at +2 in citys on attack on murphy’s law chart. Germany had to attack because  Russia was at 138 icp’s. So was seeing if  Russia would lose better pieces. If you roll high die numbers, the better pieces get killed first on the casualities list. Germany had a chance until the inf defended at 6. Great 2 man game. Ton of planning to do.
