Played my first game of A&A Global 40, I was Russia. I decided to keep my Far East Army in the East. It caused the Japanese some trouble, taking pressure off India and Australia. However my defense around Moscow lacked depth.
To sum up the game, then western Allies were not able to create a second front or even the threat of a second front which allowed Germany and Italy to turn full force toward Russia.
What do you usually do with the Soviet Far East Armies?
Currently I’m reading a book titled David the Great, it’s covers the life of King David from the Old Testament.
@Chris_Henry One of my lesser goals early in the war as Germany is to establish a slight threat to supply lines in the Indian Ocean or ANZAC coast.
This causes the Allied players to either defend from German attack with UK Far East Forces or remove units from the Mediterranean or Atlantic to an otherwise quiet front. This threatens unescorted transports feeding units into Egypt and keeps Far East units from supporting the War effort in the Middle East or North Africa without some threat
And there are always trade route points to attack without combat.
I would not spend more than one unit for this. I prefer surface ships to U-boats, they hit more and bring more attention to your actions. This is a move to cause reactions and tie up as many enemy units as possible.
@barnee I’m reading The Civil War, A Narrative by Shelby Foote.
I choose the “soft underbelly of Europe”, attack Italy.
My son had some Axis and Allies submarines out on table next to his tablet. I told him, your tablet makes a great U-boat pen.
That makes you a WW2 junkie.
@Wittmann 1862 just ended.
We play A&A Global 40 & Global War 1936 east of DFW. We play in the Van area, near Tyler.
What’s your thoughts?
I’m in a waiting room at a hospital to drive family home. This question has been on my mind.
Do any of you have any recommendations for a book on Orde Charles Wingate?
I have not seen the movie. Have any of you? Giving away no spoilers, what did you think? Is it a must see?
@dougbert2 We play Axis and Allies in the Tyler area of East Texas.
I’m currently reading The Road Past Mandalay by John Masters.
@marc7778 We play Axis and Allies in the Tyler area of East Texas
@Wittmann The War in the East was more brutal, inhumane and vast than most of us can comprehend this day in age.
How are you all doing?
@eisenhower John Keegan’s The First World War is a good read. I enjoyed Storm of Steel.
