Global 1940 & 1943 Expansions Game Reports

The Captain

That’s true - in the Pacific. Germany has Bunkers in Western Europe.

Yes, we use them a lot - mostly the Allies use fortifications in the Pacific to bolster the defense against Japanese amphibious assaults.

Prior to the Global 1943 set up, some islands have changed hands a few times - so at this point, there has been no time to re-construct the defensive fortifications.

Players have the option to create those bunkers - if it suits their Strategic Plan.

Find out soon. Probably shoulda retreated lol

barnee

Rock On !!!.png

@barnee Lost Novgorod too. Might have held with the Paras. Idk. Better rethink turn 1 lol

barnee

@barnee I guess i’ll go ahead and play it out. That Soviet Army Group in Ukraine looks unstoppable though lol Got a Tank Army up North too lol

Edit
Time for Tojo and the boys to get after it. lol

barnee

@barnee yea f it. JPN can’t do dick. Don’t wanna waste a week on this. Fix the bugs and try again. Maybe wait till the Fuhrer gets his nighttime medicine before I retreat lol

The Captain

@barnee
The Germans need to stabilize the Eastern Front and reorganize while new troops are on the way from the Homeland.

Waffen-SS units on the entire Eastern Front must be organized into Waffen-SS Armies - leaving only a few Waffen-SS units to operate independently from the Waffen-SS Armies.

Two Panzer Armies should also be present at the Eastern Front.

1 Panzer General could be held in reserve - ready for action in either Europe, Russia - or Africa.

Guess I better retreat this time : ) Still wanna hit Archangel. A nice vulnerable concentration. Hope the AA doesn’t hit hard.

Hmm… well, we’ll see lol

@barnee The Reich Refuses to Retreat

Reich Refuses to Retreat.png

heh heh maybe next turn they will lol

barnee

Soviets may have over achieved with their counter attacks. Manstein may retake Krakov. Probably lose Lenningrad. Be worth it to kill that Soviet Army Group.

See what dice have to say : )

It is a game report. Turn by turn results be cool.

Please do more as frequently! It’s awesome at the very least to see the screenshots of the map.

@barnee
The Soviets will soon have to look over their shoulder, as Japan eliminates the remaining Chinese forces and threatens the eastern Soviet territories.

This should take off the pressure on the Germans.

Heavy losses among the Waffen-SS units on the Eastern Front.…

barnee

@the-captain yea they’re pretty gung ho the ss boys lol. Germany should be able to outspend 2:1 also and still support the Western Front. Kill off those infantry and life should get better

barnee

Things aren’t looking too good for the commies. The failed counter attack against W UKR is a disaster in the making. Shoulda sent another tank if not two, instead of playing pussyfoot with the japanese.

Oh well, well see how it plays out. : ) Seem to be error free at the moment, so probably a triplea update after this test game.

End R5.png

What’s up with the SS Panzer ? Defend at 5 ? What are they ? Fanatics ?

:joy:

Edit
Oh yea new game here. Axis got there ass kicked above lol. Actually retreated this time with Germany. Looks as if it’s about to pay off. JPN under a little more pressure this time. Kept the islands, barely. But not now. They got china and cracked russia open so, not that big a deal.

They’re on the edge in the Pacific though so … yea we’ll find out soon enough. lol

SuperbattleshipYamato

@barnee

Please let the Axis win!

barnee

well i forgot to save after Russia’s turn. That rarely happens and there is a auto save feature with triplea but it didn’t work for some unknown to me reason.

Anyway, I had to redo Russia Early 1945.

Sent a pile of Tanks at W UKR this time. Didn’t mean to send that many but every time I checked the battle calc, it said i was losing. Guess they were intimidated by those SS boys lol

Combat R5.png

Had to edit and reroll the Bulgaria battle with Paras as i had done the first time. Stupidly thought JPN could attack through Sikang lol. It was a close deal too, as there bonus hits missed, took a casualty and ended up winning with a 1 hit.

End R5.png

Edit
Oh yea moved a commiesar to Urals and Rostov. The Army Groups are toast. Rostov can still support the Center and South. Think the Wehrmacht will be able to advance and hold this time.

If i remember to save lol

@barnee

Axis win! Axis win (a hope for your game, not a report)!
