A plea for originality in mapmaking…

We have corrected a flaw in the text (number) of Soviet Infantry units in Novgorod.

The total number of Soviet Infantry units in Novgorod is 17.

Please refer to the Global 1939 Expansion rulebook at the top of this thread.

Hi Panzer,

A Heavy Aircraft Carrier unit must be undamaged in order to carry any air units.

The last time The Captain was defeated was by Dark Knight in March 2020 playing the Axis.

In Late 1942, a Japanese Naval Task Force with 7 Transport units, 2 Destroyers & 1 Cruiser unit in Sea Zone 36 was attacked in wawes in this order by:

5 US Fighter units from Philippines (all US Fighter units were eliminated with the loss of 2 Japanese destroyers ) 1 UK Cruiser, 1 Destroyer, 1 Fighter (all UK units were eliminated with the loss of 1 Japanese Cruiser and 4 Transports) 1 ANZAC Destroyer + 1 Cruiser + 2 Fighter units (only 2 ANZAC Fighters survived with the loss of the remaining 3 Japanese Transports)

The Japanese offensive operations in the Pacific was halted and the Japanese units in China were cut off from any reinforcements until Early 1944.

This was the chance that the Allies had waited for - and an Allied Economic Victory was achieved in Late 1944.

We decided to create a new set of Tournament Rules for general use in all Wiking-Cons as well as the 2026 World Championship.

This set of Tournament rules is described at the “Events” thread, inkluding the Wiking-Con Tournaments.

@mkgionet Hey all, I’ve been super busy and don’t really have time to do a full game report, but here’s a quick synopsis of what transpired during Day 2 of continuing this modified Europe game.

Germany kept troops in place along the north and east coasts, fully expecting D-Day to come, but it never happened. Instead, the UK focused mostly om North Africa and USA focused on East Africa, Spain, and to a lesser extent Gibralter. Germany harassed the UK/USA navy in the English Channel to interfere with landing boats and bombardment for any amphibious assault that may take place. Troops marched relentlessly toward Moscow with heavy casualties on both sides. By the end of Day 2 Germany is sitting with a large force 2 territories away from the Russian capital with amassed Finnish troops ready to swoop in behind them. Russia has lost a lot of territory, but has a sizeable air force so it will take constant pressure for the Axis to keep advancing.

The UK & Italy built massive navies in the western med., with the UK and USA briefly taking Greece before Germany recaptured. On the last turn of the day Italy took a gamble and attacked the UK navy, earning a major victory. The UK has significant ground troops in Africa, but thier navy has been wiped out.

Gibralter has gone back and forth between sides, but neither side kept enough troops there to hold it for a full turn. Germany currently holds it, but fully expects to lose it shortly. Spain is divided with one half housing a large amount of Allied troops, and the other a large amount of Axis - big battle coming!

USA has a massive fleet sitting off Africa just waiting to get in the Med. Massive force in Western Africa that keeps advancing. Only thing Axis can do is slow them down. Another massive force on its way from Brazil. An Atom bomb has been built and is sitting in Greenland. Where will the Allies choose to drop it next turn?

France has helped with Africa and Spain as they are able. Romania has pushed Russia back slightly on the southern front, but doesn’t have the firepower to take important territories.

Will the USA & UK be able to put pressure on Germany before Moscow falls? We should find out on Day 3 - 8/30

@The-Captain

Yes I had made the mistake with the Elite USA Tank in the triplea mod. I have fixed it for the update

@Ichabod:

@simon33:

Strikes me that the factory downgrade when you lose and regain a major is harsh and arguably unfair.

What if factories are limited to the production value of the territory if not on original soil, but also limited by the type of factory? .

Do you mean this restriction (of producing only the value number of the territory) only to apply for the countries that capture the major, like Japan capturing India, or the US landing on W. Germany just to reduce the factory to a minor?

I would think this would be another way to add some balance. Forward factories next to Russia only producing 2 units for Germany…ect.

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying.
