@Jermofoot This game is fun, easy to learn.

How does the Soviet Union fair under Trotsky and not Stalin in the 1920s -1940s?

Let’s talk 3rd Crusade. Who is ranked higher in eyes of history?

Saladin or Richard the Lionheart

@SuperbattleshipYamato
How well can an Iowa class battleship take a 12’’ shell? I’m thinking the battleship could take a heavy amount of beating from these 12’’ shells. If some of the pre dreadnoughts carried 14’’ guns, those hits would be more punishing.

I’m thinking eight pre deadnoughts could take out an Iowa class ship, but atleast five of these ships are sunk.

Thought?

Recently I was reading about combat in the extreme North of Russia. After the opening days of Barbarossa this Front became a sideshow, consequently the heavy weapons on the front were older systems.

There were reports of German fighting in Somua S35 tanks opposed by M3 Lee tanks operated by Russians.

Is this not the oddest tank duel?

If you had to choose, which tank are you taking?

If you were in charge of German war plans in Spring 1943. Finland has recruited fresh divisions and the XXXVI Corp in North Russia is freed, where do you send this unit?

• Norway
• Leningrad Front
• The Balkans- to hunt for Tito
• The Atlantic Wall
• Army Group South (Russia)
• Add to Kursk operation
• Italy

@SuperbattleshipYamato Leningrad would have been a tough nut to crack. A large city, of significant cultural importance, with a some water ways to help in its defense. The Germans could capture Leningrad, but only by making it a top priority and forgetting Moscow in 1941.
Germany would have to have German Infantry attack from Finland to finish Leningrad.

As many tanks as the Red Army had in the Ukraine. I doubt the Germans could move large panzer armies away from this threat. Prussian ran HQ would not leave that huge force on an under strength flank, and that was the right choice.

I was driving North Texas and found myself in the downtown of Saint Jo. There was a building with a sign “Artillery Museum.

Inside this museum was a vast amount of guns.

Here is a two pictures of a Joseph Stalin tank hit by a lucky 50mm shell that disable the tank.

I’ll post more pictures.


@witt Cointet-element is another name for the Belgium Gate that the Belgium Army used in WW2 and the Germans used afterwards. These structures were hard to demolish or move.

Took me awhile to find this subject.

@witt Good morning, friend.

Here is a great story of some World War II history that washed up on the Texas coast.

@witt The two guns had a huge impact on the campaign, knocking out ammo and fuel dumps. The crews of these guns also scored hits of several ships. This resulted in the Allies unloading supplies ten miles out at sea.

The Germans had two large K5E guns at Anzio, named Robert and Leopold. These guns had great results with the limited shells and Diglycol (powder) that was on hand.

Had the Germans had more of these large guns at Anzio would the Allies have given up on the operation and withdrawn?

What if the movie played like the Jumanji movie, where a player makes moves and then there is live action scene played out.

OR

Have the actual events of World War Two have been the results of an Axis and Allies game.

@superbattleshipyamato Thank you

I’ve been cooking up and plan to have the Red Army invade Turkey and taking the War into the Balkans, outflanking a German move to push deep into Russia.

This is an interesting idea. I’ll give it some thought.

Phone mostly.

@abworsham4 I want to thank all of you for helping answering this question I’ve had.

@abworsham4 In October 1943.
