@WILD:

So how’d it go, what did you end up doing?

I listened to you guys and didn’t attack! Waited 2 turns and we ended the game on G6 or 7, I don’t recall properly!

The Russians continued to back, and 2 turns later (G6), I attacked Russia with the Inf + Art group that were built in G1-2. Some tanks + mech joined the battle. Something like 16 art, 31 inf, 11 mech, 17 tank, 3 fighters 5 tactical 2 bombers (I decided to divert part of my airforce to punish a British + US mistake - my airforce was stationned in Leningrad, and there were many transports unassisted)

I crushed Russia with around 10 tanks left + airforce. I crushed UK transport fleet. I blocked US fleet inside Norway/Danemark (he went in) by retaking Danmark.

Overall, I won, because I waited for the additional inf + art :O (Russia only built Inf this game, was that a mistake? He only fell back, and never counter-attacked)

edit : Going from my memory (Saturday feels so farrrr), here is the big battle for Moscow :
Germany :
31 inf, 16 art, 11 mech, 17 tank + 3 fig, 5 tac, 2 bomber

My numbers are probably a little bit off…

vs
Russia
61 infantry, 8 art, 3 mech + starting offensive units… (1 tank? 2 fig? 1 tac?)

After my victory over Moscow and the Atlantic fleet, the allied surrendered. Japan was also at India’s doorsteps, but was far from taking the last remaining Victory city

EDIT #2 : What happens to Mongolia rule when Russia capital is taken? Do the Mongolians still spawn if Japan decides to attack?

@ShadowHAwk:

Are you buying extra dice for the game?

If so your better of with a lot smal dice in 4 colors then the big dice that come with the game. Ever tried holding 40 of those big dice in your hands, o and less risk of disruptions in case they hit the board.

Hey Shadowhawk, I have lots of 12 mm minis already, and besides… my custom table is bullet proof.

FYI Adobe Lightroom will compress the pics but still keep best possible resolution. There are other tools but this one is straightforward to use and the full version is free for 30 days. I’m a creative photographer and use it all the time.

To change picture size - import pics first. Then select pics to change, click Export (bottom left corner) and under File Settings / Limit File Size To, put in the size you want. You can also clean up the white balance and tone to take out that yellow tint.

I’d be curious about a minor in Egypt paired with successful Taranto. Egypt would be pretty hard to get without Germany sending considerable resources.

@MadPup77:

You don’t have to wait a turn to hit Japan. You place them, next turn they’re in SZ 6. You place them in SZ 10, next turn Hawaii, next turn SZ 6.

-MadPup77

If you put a NB in Alaska, they can move in 1 turn into SZ 6, via SZ 8 and SZ 7.

I think it was a great one-time move, and you happened to have an opponent who used blockers well at a critical time. Experienced players would see this happening, and the potential for it, as it unfolded, so it would best be used against inexperienced foes.

A nice idea! After all, it was your war. It’s good to try unconventional things and see how they go.

The other thread hasn’t been sticky’d yet.  Here it is.

Alpha + 3 Charts

Airbases should just be able to scramble to adjacent Seazones, thereby eliminating the island rule mumbo jumbo while allowing the UK to have SOME control of the English Channel.

AGREED!
