General 6 Stars 1941 WW2 Game

Got a game this Saturday Sept. 23 at 8 am at the General’s Fortress. All generals have there orders !
Will post some pics and outcome.

New bonus axis 1 point for control of all of Burma Road.
Assam, Burma, Yunnan and Kweichowz based on all LL cutoff from allies. Plus still in game 1 victory point for Rangoon.
Keep in mind if AB is damaged in Assam no LL from the Hump into China

Sat game ended with the axis having 30 points at the end of turn 5.

Germany did sea lion and UK & US decided to not take back London but use Morocco as there hub. UK was able to hold Cairo from the axis and send some troops to the oil lands and then the plan was to take Turkey back next turn with Russia. But game ended by then. Russia lost a lot of good pieces fighting back the Germans but no major push from Germany.

Italy to win the game or get back the 30th point was to take back Tunsia
and Gib to block any move into the Med.

On Pacific side Japan hit one of the US fleets at a start of game. Trying to slow US down but US and allies were doing pretty good taking back victory cities for most part of game. Then Japan attacked the US fleet and defeated them with all US transports dying. SO US took back the oil bonus points from Japan but as you can see on next turn Japan would of gotten them back and the axis would of probably won on next turn if they had to from what it looks like.

Was another great game with new stuff happening and yes Japan had total control of the Burma road for a point and Rangoon along with Chinas capital but on last turn Allies took back all 3 victory points but just came up short.
It was nice to see a lot more fighting in Burma !

@General-6-Stars Good Action ! Dig your Game Reports

Thanks barnee. Ya not enough pics. Got 2 new guys and had to help one out more. Guys helped other guy.

Be another game in 4 weeks. Tweaked the tech a bit and about it.

We had another game last Saturday. Looks like the allies will win. Germany lost West Germany and Paris plus US landed in Manilla. Japan should take out US fleet and then Anzac next turn but Axis Europe just lost to much.

Will need to see if Germany can take out Moscow next turn. If Moscow holds then they will hold Stalingrad too based on reinforcements.

No sea lion this game. But we did make a minor setup change to UK London. Added 2 more frenchy inf to London and moved the general from Scotland to London.

Up to UK now to shoot down a few planes so now they have a slightly better odds on holding. UK must take back London on there turn no matter what so the German minor factory there is destroyed.

If Germany influences Spain then they have the advantage.
Pic will be of turn 2 and turn 4.

Update changes to pieces. The mechs will now attack @3
and the elite mechs will go to attack @4.

The Spa’s will now go to attack @5 and if roll is a 2 or less can pick any target since we use that piece as a 2 unit.

The Russian NA Spa will be the same attack @5 but now if roll is a 3 or less can pick target.

Next game is Dec 9th at 8 am and it will be played at the General’s Fortress in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

@General-6-Stars

Looks great - we will follow your game with interest.

Is the SetUp still Early 1941 or Late 1941 ?

Dec 1941 setup.

Here’s game report from last Saturday Dec. 16, 2023.
Axis most likely will lose.
Germany influenced Turkey on turn 1. Made a push mostly south towards the oil fields in middle east. Also from the get go axis went after Cairo and took it. Got some Med Island group bonus money and then the US took Gib to deny a few bonuses.
Germany left Leningrad worth 2 victory points some what weak so Russia probably could take it next turn and hold. US landed in Oslo to deny a 1 victory point with the Germans not being able to take back as of now.
The Germans had a nice stack in Georgia and then the Russians attacked it and wiped out the Germans’ there. But Germany did get major diced so the Russians would have less units there on ave but that’s the dice gods.

On the pacific side the Commonwealth had a nice naval fleet south of Java and when Japan went for the oil money islands the US fleet went North and landed in China. Japan could take out most of Commonwealth fleet but doesn’t have enough to take out US fleet. So I’m assuming Japan would move there fleet north to force out US fleet but then with Japan mostly abandoning China, China now is a huge threat to hold the Victory cities for a few turns. Japan may be able to over come there issues in 3 turns but Germany is not doing to well. Besides the allies have landed in Normandy and putting pressure now there.

The whole idea of game is to make Japan also have to do the work for a win. Don’t leave all the work for Germany. Makes the games way more better. Pics are at the end of turn 4 with charts showing income, tech, NA’s and victory points.

Ya thanks barnee ! Ya great action again. Next game Jan 27th.

We had the main group this time. 7 of us generals.
No changes to game. Just a few clarified rules.

We use this chart for games. Been using it for a few years now. I am making a set of event cards for the Strict Neutrals too now.

Hi General,

Great game - looks very interesting… after all, it seems that Sea Lion does not come first in every game… ?

How does the game mechanism work concerning German influence on Turkey ?

Do you have any similar rule concerning Axis influence on Spain ?

Pretty much now if Sea Lion happens you need to in fluence Spain on turn 1. Other wise no Spain and its a 50 50 chance on getting without Spain. Plane kills. Paratrooper kills and not looking good.

Both influences show on chart how its done. The Event Cards will have a few saying who joins a side and other stuff. Some good some bad.

Got neutral event cards now for game.
