    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!

    I don’t know if the Italian Destroyers will come into play at all for raids against German economy? But, I’ll roll nonetheless.

    That was a great move. I thoroughly enjoyed it and like how you took the fight to the enemy in the end. Instead of letting the hordes bash your door down, you went-a-knocking yourself. I’ll post Japan tonight. But, don’t rush on anything. I’ll be here waiting, with my valiant Axis hordes. Mmm, the russian move reminds me of the position that Japan is in. Good stuff sir. Very good game thus far.


  • Thank you, sir. As Kenny Rogers once famously sang “You gotta know when to hold 'em… know when to fold 'em… know when to walk away… know when to run…”

    I folded 'em, and ran.

    In this case, instead of counting up pips the old fashioned way, I ran my numbers here…

    Unfortunately, it doesn’t take into consideration the effect of AA guns being taken as casualties, but it gets close enough. You need to choose Global 40 as the game type in the drop-down in order to get tacs, mech, etc.

    So, in the sim Germany absolutely crushed Russia. It was that last surge of artillery (brilliant, by the way) that forced me off my space and made me load every truck and railway and get out. Having experienced this later game stuff a bunch, you’ll continue to control the Moscow area for a long time, and if I win it will be the crush of economy that does it.
