total losses 15 armor Axis, 7 troops & 2 guns & 5 tanks Allies, thanks, Pellulo
Axis and Allies RoundRobin Bulge Game, 6., Pellulo
Variant of Regular Western Allies forces vs. Mostly Gun German forces,
Turn One Germany goes first, Allies losses high due to being atttacked by mostly gun force, of 8 troopers & 5 guns. VP=5 and Axis clear a front line that streches completly from North to South.
Turn Two Allies go first, front line thinned out, even with reinforcements from Turn One, losses 4 tanks & two guns, Axis losses of 5 guns and a precious truck.
VP=9 & "Big B" fallen(Bastogne).
Turn Three Allies go first, losses 5 foot & 1 gun & 2 tanks & 2 trucks, Axis lose 4 guns & another truck.
Four rounds of battle, VP=14. Most Axis forces on front lines, Allies have left, before reinforcements just four units.
Turn Four Allies go first, losses of 4 troops and 2 tanks, Axis losses of 6 guns, and, another again truck. Four rounds of combat and VP=15.
Turn Five Without air combat, its a automatic blowout for the Axis (they are on a roll). Air combat occurs over "the Big B", Axis lose three fighters, a bomber & gun, Allies 3 fighter planes.
Axis go first, losses 7 guns, and, Allies 4 troops & one each of gun, tank & truck(captured by Axis). VP=20 & basically Allies firepower cannot match the Axis.
To save the hassel of the game being to easy for the Axis, I handicapped both sides, in movement & attack, in regards to using the tokens (using regular rules, at end of Turn One, Allies lost 11 units,&, reinforcements caused gridlock, by turn two).
Turn Six Stopped after one round of combat, with only 6 Allies units left on the board (2 are transports), while 25 Axis guns & three trucks left on the board. Allies went first with 3 troopers, 4 tanks, and, 3 transports lost, and, Axis losses of 4 guns. Earlier even with a lost of Allies of 4 fighters & 3 Axis fighters and bomber & 4 guns and a transport, the goal of 24 VP is assured for the Axis. Thanks, Pellulo

PS is there any way to edit the earlier posts, to make them easier to read, the 1 hour time limit does me no good, thanks, Pellulo

Axis and Allies RoundRobin Bulge Game
Pellulo
Next variation both sides fielding just infantry and armor only, basically all cannons were traded off, one by one for a Infantry & Tank units
Turn One Allies lose 11 units, after 5 rounds of combat. Here Axis occupy all Hexes one out from N-S axis, gain 3=VP and capture 9 tokens. With Allied reinforcement, gridlock is set up for turn two.
Trading in powerful cannons for weak Infantry & more mobil, but, still weak Tanks, is not worth it for Axis. This varient ended end of Turn One. Thanks, Pellulo

Axis & Allies RoundRobin Bulge 8.
This variation is of regular German forces facing Infantry & Cannons Allies(with the tanks being parcel out evenly between the Infantry & Cannons). With the Axis going automatic first for Turn One, and, after die toss winning the right to go first, in Turn Two.
Here the Allies were reduce to one cannon and and the Axis VP went from 3 to 17, at end of Turn Two. The Allies losses made it difficult to continue with the game, perhaps another day, if the Allies got to go first, on Turn Two. Thanks, Pellulo
Turn One, after two rounds of combat, all Allies front units wiped out, captured 12 tokens(makes up for 12 used for the whole round), VP=3, front line North-South Axis taken(plus two additional hexes due to blitzing). Allies can just thinly cover front line.
Turn Two, instead of another blowout for Axis, the Allies get to go first, in turn Two. Here the Allies still get creamed, losses of 09 to Axis 03. VP=go up to 17, a Blitz. takes Bastogne, seven Allied tokens captured. Allied reinforcements set up to take back “Big B”.
Turn Three, Allies go again first, either stop the Axis or game over, losses 2 tanks & 2 guns , &, Axis 8 tanks. Allies fire power & tokens make the difference, Axis front line thinned out, but, VP=increase to 21.
Turn Four needed to be Five(airpower needed), even with Allies first, losses of 11 units(4 are trucks), and, Axis lose 08 units(one truck). Still Axis squeaked out to VP=24, game over. thanks, Pellulo
RoundRobin A&A Bulge Game, Pellulo
9. Finally a variation with some rules changes, basically just having anything rolled for a six and down as a hit, with the defender/attacker choosing the lost, and, having combat simultaneously.
The first time I tried it, I also gave the Allies a chance just for defense only in Turn One(they would never start an attack) of defending on five down and the Axis attacking(due to surprise on seven down). The game went quickly till Round Six, seeing the Axis could not survive another air attack, I scrapped the ideal of letting the Allies defending themselves for round one.
Now replaying the game with just anything rolled for a six and down as a hit, with the defender/attacker choosing the lost, and, having combat simultaneously.
Turn one…thanks, Pellulo
Round One:Entire Allied Front Line wiped out, Axis front line advances one hex, Victory Points of three. Play goes faster by just having a lost by rolling six and down, using no combat strips.
Round Two:Axis goes first, lose 5 troopers and a gun, Allies lose 3 tanks & 1 trooper & 1 truck, now with the defender/attacker choosing the lost, and, having combat simultaneously. Still Axis entire front goes forward one hex, and Victory Points of four.
Round Three:Allies go first, heavy losses, they lose 6 troopers, 1 tank & gun , and, two trucks. German losses are eight tanks, and, one gun, such low troop numbers does not allow much combine arms, thus no covering infantry & high tank losses.
Germans still hug Bastogne(nearly all defenders wiped out inside), but, will not fall this turn, due to strong Allied counterattacks. Still Axis line partially goes forward, with VP now five.
Round Four: Allies go first, Bastogne already secured by Allies reinforcement last round, but, by going first weakens the German main force outside the town. Allies lose 3 trucks, 4 tanks, 1 gun, and, two troopers. Axis lose 3 each of tanks, troops, and, guns(also 1 truck). Germans gain only one additional V.P., and, only one hex. Allies do not built any reserves, just throws all their forces for attacks, heavy losses, but, does blunt the German drive.
Round Five:Axis goes first, have enough forces to take Bastogne, but, with the use of Air Power whittles away their land offensive power. Axis Air Power wiped out, Allies lose 4 fighters planes(Germans lose to Air Power 4 supply tokens, 1 trooper, 1 tank). Allies all wiped out in Axis attack, still holding Bastogne with a lone trooper, reinforcements rushed in, German line very thinned out. V.P. now at thirteen points.
Round Six:Allies go first. Axis forces at midpoint of board, except for going up North the German line tapers back to Eupen.
Round Six cont.:Allies go first, more supply tokens than units to use them plague both sides. For Air Battle Allies lose seven fighters(too many spread out, shot down by AA fire), Axis lose all three fighters & one bomber, along with one tank and a trooper. For land combat Allies lose three troopers, 1 gun, 4 tanks, & a truck, while Axis lose 1 trooper, 3 guns, 3 tanks, and a truck. The Allies are nearly cleared off the board (again!), but, even thought a Axis presence, not in position to move out and claim a hex that has V.P.(total 14 & GE. uses last of its reinforcements).
Round Seven:Axis go first, in Air Battle again all Axis Air is wiped out, Allies lose a total of 5 fighters(more to AA guns), but take out a trooper, 3 tanks & 2 trucks. For land battle Allies lose a truck & tank, 2 troopers in a failed attacks, that cost the Axis no losses. The unexpected Allies loses cannot plug up the holes it created in the front lines, up North the only intact Axis force moves out to claim 2 hexes, and, 5 precious V.P.(The other Axis force of one trooper down South, could not move. Also for the first time, the Allies retake a hex worth one victory Point).
The count is now 18 Victory Points.
Round Eight: Germany goes first. Allied Air Power smashes what is left of the Axis drive(again all Axis Air lost & a tank & two troopers, Allies lose a bomber & 7 fighters). Leaving just a German cannon in the North & trooper in the South & two trucks. Also six Allied troopers and a tank & gun, and, two trucks are left.
I ended the game, as it was mathematically not possible for the Axis to win(so close, but, yet so far). Earlier if the Bastogne Allied garrison had been completely wiped out, and, a hex point not lost back to the Allies, the V.P. would be up to 23. Thanks, Pellulo
If the last variation gave to much edge to the Allies, this one gives it to the Axis, no supply tokens, but, with modified hits, thanks, Pellulo
Turn One: Allies front line as usual dissolves away, and, Axis front line goes one hex forward.
Here with modified hits(just simple six down is a hit), the Allies lose all eight troopers and five cannons & Axis gain V.P.=3. In a earlier version of this variation, the Allies were allowed to counterattack for Round One, but, game ended the same(of course with much less Axis forces on the board, seven).
Turn Two: Germany goes first, later the Allies will pass up on any counter-attacks. Entire Axis line goes forward one hex, except for Eupen. Allies lose 2 Infantry, 5 tanks, 2 trucks, &, the Axis lose 4 Infantry. All the Allies have on on the board is one of each land base unit. The V.P.=8.
Turn Three: Allies goes first, again the Axis line goes forward one hex, except for Bastogne.
Allies lose 5 Infantry, 3 guns, 1 tank & 3 trucks, &, the Axis lose 1 Infantry & 9 tanks. V.P.=14.
Turn Four: Axis go first, again the Allies will pass on a counterattack(having left one tank). With Bastogne hoping to be a major point of an Allied initial go first attack, holding over half the Allied units, all it has left, after the first German attacks is one tank. Allied losses are 4 infantry & 4 tanks & 1 truck. Also Axis losses are 3 Infantry, 2 guns, and, 4 tanks. Not the whole Axis line goes one hex, but, V.P.=23.
Turn Five: Axis goes first, here with modified attack rules, the Air Fighters & Bombers attacking ground units, are less effective. Allied losses via Air combat are 7 fighters, and, Axis losses are 3 fighters, &, 2 trucks, 1 Infantry & gun & tank.
For land combat, Allies lose 2 Infantry, 1 gun, 2 tanks & trucks, &, Axis lose 2 Infantry, 2 guns, 5 tanks & a truck. Bastogne falls, with just two Allied foot left on the board. The Allies take back one hex, the Germans get enough hexes to get V.P.=24plus. Game ended, of course to the bitter end, the Allies might have gotten back those hexes. Thanks, Pellulo
Axis & Allies RoundRobin Bulge Game.
Both variations with & without tokens, but, with modifies hits(using old style Axis and Allies values were used and tried). Here Infantry hit on 1 for attack(unless back up by a cannon, it became 2 for attack) & 2 for defense, cannons just 2 for A/D, tanks 3 for A/D or 3 for attack & 2 for defense, 1 for defense for a truck/transport, fighters 3 for attack & bombers 1 for attack(if actually bombing, then 4).
Games went smoothly, but, by turn 5 & 6 for both games, it was stopped. Allies losses were heavy, but, Axis were even more so, &, with Air Power a factor, the German’s best remaining forces were picked off.
This final variation is for no supply tokens, but, with regular Bulge attacks.
Turn One: Axis go first, move 5 hexes and V.P.=1. Allies lose 5 Infantry, 3 guns & one retreated.
Round Two: Axis go first this round. Losses Allies are 4 Infantry & 1 tank, &, Axis losses are 3 Infantry & 2 tanks. Axis gain 3 hexes & V.P.=5.
Round Three: Allies go first, &, losses of 3 trucks & 4 Infantry & 2 tanks. Axis losses of 1 truck & infantry, &, 2 tanks, also gain 1 hex & V.P.=9.
Round Four: Allies go first, &, losses of 1 Infantry and gun & 2 tanks. Axis lose 1 truck & gun,
and, 3 tanks. Also gain 4 hexes & V.P.=11.
Round Five: Allies go first, losses for air combat are: Allies 5 fighters and two bombers, &, Axis 3 fighters & bomber lost(also two Axis Infantry are retreated). Land losses are: Allies 3 Infantry & one retreated, 1 gun and 2 tanks. Axis 1 truck, and, 2 infantry & tanks, and, 3 guns.
Round Six: Allies go first(due to reinforcements from Round Five, the Allies are slightly behind the Axis, in numbers on the board). Air losses for Allies are 3 fighters, &, Axis all aircraft and 3 tanks. Land combat losses for Allies are 1 truck, 2 Infantry, 1 gun, and, 3 tanks. Axis losses are
2 Infantry, 1 gun, &, 5 tanks. Also 2 hexes gained & V.P.=14. Not being able to have all forces clustered in combine arms, lets the Allies Air Power attack, thus facing less A.A. fire.
Round Seven: Allies go first, losses by air of Allies of 6 fighters and 1 bomber, &, all Axis air power lost, along with 1 truck. Land losses are Allies 2 tanks and 3 trucks. Also Axis lose 1 gun & truck, and, 5 tanks. Axis gain 1 hex & V.P.=15.
Round Eight: Axis go first, losses by air of Allies of 6 fighters and 1 Infantry. Axis lose only 3 fighters and 1 truck(their Ju-88 bomber survives to fight another day). Land losses are of Allies of 1 Infantry & truck, and, 2 tanks. The German losses are of one Infantry & gun & tank. Axis gain another hex and final V.P.=16 of 24 needed.
So much left on the board, would a ninth round made a difference?, the forces left are: Allies 4 trucks, 14 Infantry, 5 guns & 5 tanks. Axis 1 truck, 9 Infantry, 2 guns & 4 tanks.
This variation of regular Bulge attacks & no supply tokens, is the best of the variations played.
Axis & Allies RoundRobin Bulge
13. A sub-variant tried was, no supply tokens, but, with regular Bulge attacks, but, the defender is allowed to counterattack, if they want to(in other words simultaneous combat using the Bulge hit/attack method).
Round One: Axis goes first(as always), no tokens, regular Bulge game attacks, but, defender may counterattack. Allis losses are 7 Infantry & 1 gun, &, Axis losses are just 1 Infantry. Hexes gain are 4 & V.P.=2.
Round Two: Allies go first, losses are 2 troopers & tanks & 3 trucks. Axis losses are 2 Infantry & 1 tanks & 2 trucks. hexes gain of 5 & V.P.=8.
Round Three: Axis goes first, losses are 4 Infantry & 2 guns & 4 tanks & 1 truck. Allies losses are 2 Infantry & guns & 1 tank & 2 trucks. Hexes gain 5 & V.P.=12.
Round Four: Axis goes first & losses 1 Infantry & gun & truck, &, 2 tanks. Allies lose 4 Infantry & guns & 5 tanks & 1 truck(one of the worst Allies losses ever). The Axis gain 6 hexes, but, only move V.P.=15. Last of the great Ge. reinforcements.
Round Five: Either air power saves the day for the Allies, or, it is all over. Allies go first, losses Air 5 fighters ,and, land battles 2 troopers. Axis losses Air 3 fighters & bomber & 3 tanks(destroyed by Allied air). Axis losses on land battle are 1 infantry & gun & 2 tanks. Axis hexes gained 4 & V.P.=16.
Round Six: Allies go first, losses via air are 7 fighters, &, Axis lose 3 fighters & bomber & 4 tanks(the tanks due to Allied Air Power, finally kicking in!).
Land losses are Allies 5 Infantry & 1 gun & 2 tanks, and, Axis losses are 3 Infantry & 2 tanks(both sides lose a truck). Axis losses in trucks will begin to hurt moving troops & guns around, still gain a hex & V.P.=17.
Round Seven: Allies go first, air losses of 3 fighters, &, Ge. losses of 3 fighters & a bomber, &, 2 tanks & a gun. Land losses Allies lose 2 Infantry & a truck, and, Germans lose 2 Infantry & guns & 1 tank. Allies get last of their reinforcements, and, actually outnumber the Germans, especially in tanks,. Still Germans get two more hexes & Allies take back one. The Axis cannot manned their whole front, gaps have opened in it. V.P. now 21. Thanks, Pellulo
