@leemorrison You’re being polite. Yes I got my bomber and some air shot down during the first two turns but I overextended very badly with Japan, mostly because I underestimated the value the tanks would give you in terms of exploiting openings in my positions.

Re: Tanks as reserve, but, abadoning Caen…

By beginning of turn 4, the US forces are near extint, just a US gun north of Utah beach survives, and, Brit. forces are stilled cowed onto their beaches, as defending Ge. forces, still hold them there (even though any Brit. force can go into Caen, as the Ge. have already abandon it).

Losses to Ge. armor are heavy, as only of a toal of 23 tanks, only 7 are left, turn 4 will see if the Allies can get back on track. The US forces still survive on their beachead, and, Brit. forces are finally turning towards St. Lo.

Turn 5 is one of mostly manuerving with low losses both sides, as the big battles are set up for turn 6. Here Ge. forces are now concentrated around St. Lo, just under 40 units, with one tank left (the other six used to batter US forces still at the beaches), 19 guns, &, about 16 foot.

Precious Us manpower is going up to Cherbough (which Ge. have failed to reinforce, much less dismal bomber performance, to take out those bunkers).

It is up to carefully hoarded Brit. armor (7 of the 9 allied tanks, on the board), to lead the assault onto St. Lo, with only total 14 allied guns & 14 foot. But first the Brits. have to destroy Ge. forces still shuttling in from Caen sector, by turn 6 & 7 this is done, along with a last minute “spoiler” attack by a pair of Ge. guns back onto Caen.

Meanwhile US forces finally move into Cherbough, finally those bombers kicked in, and, the last seven reserves are call up, land, and, lock into battle , with Brit. forces for St. Lo. Turn 8 & 9 the last of Ge. forces are moped up, especially when the last Ge. gun, attacks, scores a hit, but, is destroyed by the seven Allied units in St. Lo.

Point wise the Allies win by 154 made up in plastic units, but, taking out air units, it leaves only 54 for plastic land units. A high cost for land units (much less the still surviving 4 Ge. bunkers). Thanks, Pellulo

@VictoryFirst said in 2025 Classic tournament round 1 Gamerman01 v VictoryFirst (Axis):

in the end it worked out beautifully.

I had lucky results in China J1, and again against the Japanese battleships and loaded carrier off French Indo China

The Japanese fleet was more important than normal because only one factory was built

Very gracious, thank you!
