@Blackychan Here is the starting file. Open the file just like you would using pbem but you’ll probably have to enter your forum password each time you post. When you’re finished with your turn just hit post to forum and it should show up here.

Antholin vs. Stalingradski Game One
-
Well, you can’t blame them on the French air shows and all you can eat baguettes. But, that will all be mine. I promised my Panzer commanders and modern Shogun warriors the baguettes, and I believe that is the only reason they’re fighting anymore. Who knows, such fickle bastards.
-
Well, there are warehouses full of them… damn… but they don’t go well with Schnapps.
For Japan, I see 13 + 5 NO - 4 CO = 14 IPCs.
Nice bid for Australia - I’ll have to scramble to hold onto it - or to take it back…
US purchases 3 Transports, 2 Subs, 6 Infantry, 2 Destroyers, 3 Mech, Armor, Fighter = 95 IPCs. Arsenal of Democracy!
Combat
Take Denmark, Holland, Libya.
Denmark controls the North - nothing can pass through it without owning it at the beginning of your turn. I just learned this in one of my recent games against Steve.

For Denmark, just confirming that not even Subs can pass through?
-
Right - the only straits/canal that subs can move through without owning both sides is Gibraltar. I learned it the hard way vs. Steve… but eventually forced my way out and built an airbase in Denmark… :evil:
US collects 76 + 25 NO = 101 IPCs.
China - purchases 7 Infantry, Saves 2 = 23 IPCs.
NCM, placement, collects 24 + 2 = 26 IPCs.

The German tankers were more experienced! They killed me twice before I got my sights on 'em! 88s on tank chassis are killers. We’ll be back again…
UK collects 42 + 5 NO = 47 IPCs.

Anzac collects 20 + 5 NO = 25 IPCs. For Japan?
By the way - Italy collected 17 - 3 NO = 14 IPCs. Noted on map.
Germany is up! Turn 9… is this it for Moscow?
-
Good move on Novgorod. I did not see that coming. Herman Goering will be burned at the stake for this outrage.
-
A trade off… I lose 2 4’s on defense just as you lost 2 on offense. A move I might only make with an economic advantage.
And Goering should be replaced anyhow! He’s devouring the entire Reich!
