Only when you conquer an island or country then the ipc level is changed correctly.
From game start, yes the additional ipc level of the islands is not changed in the ipc tracker

@VictoryFirst all ipc is counted including French.
Even when French is not liberated. After the French turn, you count all allies or axis ipc

@barnee, because of the extra ipc value given to the pacific islands, the islands become extremely important.
For the axis it is vital that Japan attacks this islands as fast as possible before the allies will get the upper-hand in the pacific.

@Trout if the allies go all in on Germany, Japan will dominate the entire pacific and slowly taking Russia. Germany can hold. The axis should definitely win this

@barnee
Yes we are going to meet in the future with victoryfirst. Next year if this is possible the next tournament will likely be in the Netherlands.💪🏻

@Trout Yes if you capture in round 3-4 the money islands/ phillipens also taking china then the Japanese will be very strong, and if the US is doing nothing there, they must be able to take out India and press on into the Middle East.

@Trout

Did you go for the Atlantic with Germany? Or did you go for Russia ?
If Germany decides to go for the Atlantic, the German u-boats will counter the first fleet of the US.
Which means that Italy has 5-6 rounds to push into the Middle East, together with Germany.
The 8 paratroopers together with landing crafts standing on Greece together with Italy paratroopers and landing crafts are a huge treat danger to the —>

1. Caucasus
   Syrië
   Egypt

If possible take Greece with Italy.
So when you build a airfield or harbour the allies will not see it coming.

My experience till so far with the axis is:: leave russia, take out Novgorod. When the army conscription kicks in. Retreat. Reorganise and with new forces attack again.
Butt before this, you should be in the Middle East and Egypt with the axis.

The first games when I play the house rule expansion the allies dominated .
Butt now it’s really a 50/50.
I think because of the logistics it’s harder to win with the allies

@Trout

This strategy depends also what is the allies doing.
You should not build a minor factory in Greece, just use your rail way capacity.

The most important thing is:

Italy and Germany should move as one.

So for example if Italy in round 1 takes Alexandria Germany can send in round 2 some fighters to support Alexandria. So Italy makes a move and Germany follows. In this way the allies cannot counter attack because you would be to strong in this stage of the game.

So round 1

Germany builds up 5 sup
6 waffen ss infantry and 2 waffen ss artillery.

Italy builds 2 landing craft and 1 paratrooper in Rome.

Round 2 Germany likely will have 85 ipc

So you should build:

8 paratrooper/ can jump to Italy. Or Romania.
1 panzer general.
2 landing craft /// strategic rail movement to greece
5 subs // 3 in the mediterranean, also Remember if you move you’re “remaining” italian ships to seazone 93 to eliminate the French ships, you can use the factory with Germany to build subs or a carrier in that seazone to counter the remaining British fleet.
The best thing which could happen is that the British attacked the Italian fleet in round 1

The Russian plan is to take out Novgorod as fast as possible, butt in round 5 you need to retreat till you’re own borders this is okay.
By that time Germany can build up a huge force, and push again.

@The-Captain

Nice win for the Axis forces,
And also impressive to achieve a victory like this concluding all of Africa and the Middle East for the Axis.
It seems like the Japanese navy did not lose a single transport ? 12 transports still alive.

Butt I see lots of errors from the Allies player.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
I know the pressure can be very touch and a mistake is very fast to make butt ,
( that’s the nice thing about these game reports, you can visualise and watch the game reports very good. And see what tactics are used and learn something )
First of all:

1. The factory in South Africa was not made underground and been destroyed.

2. The harbour on Kwangtung is still intact.
   ( also on the phillippens both harbour and airfield still intact !)

3. The US should invade Africa immediately instead of Normandy.

4. A lot of German u-boats on convoy raiding.

5. The US fleet in seazone 25 not able to free up New Guinea.

6. No lend lease fighters where send to Russia?

7. No heavy battleships in service for both the US and the Japanese navy?

8. Russia is able to build at least 8 partisans in the next round. In 8 different areas

9. The British Royal Navy consist of one submarine ? At this point in the war ? What happend here ?

@barnee

In the previous round all u-boats retreated.
So when Germany takes London there would be more money 😎

Like 5-6 u boats did convoy raiding.
The last 4 rounds the UK lost every round at least 10 ipc
And Yes the German u-boats attacked US convoys butt only 1 time.

The English defeated the sub with a destroyer and a tactical bomber.

@barnee
Maybe flying UFO’s 🤣
No anyway these extra rules looks epic💪🏻

Wishing you and yours a wonderful holiday season and all the best in the coming year!😎

@The-Captain

Nice game report,

Nice victory with the allies,
The axis luftwaffe took the bait…
They won the battle but lost the war…

Looking forward to march 😎

@The-Captain looking forward, to the mighty ships 💪🏻

@The-Captain

Looks epic 👌🏻💪🏻

Japan

The Japenese bought 2 minor industry in China in the first round, The Japanese fought only in China in the first 3 rounds.

US

The US is building landingcrafts and armoured infantry on a massive scale to reinforce Russia in the Pacific in a strategic well planned operation.

UK

The UK build 1 carrier and 2 destroyers together with infantry those units where all placed in london, Because of the heavy build up of German landingcrafts.
All surviving British ships moved to seazone 92 in the first round.
In the second round the british navy was send to seazone 110.
2 carriers battleship and 2 cruisers together with four planes and 2 destroyers.

Italy and Anzac and France are all preparing their forces to attack in further rounds.

Inportant events which took place in round 3-6.

Germany attacked in round 3 the UK navy which was in seazone 110.

Germany attacked with:

1 Battleship
1 Cruiser
3 Subs
5 fighter units
5 tactical bomber
2 strategic bombers

The UK defended with:

2 carriers
7 fighter units ( 3 fighters are scrambled )
1 Battleship
2 Cruiser
2 Destroyers

**Germany won the battle, however only:

2 Fighters and 2 Bombers survived the Battle, this was the end for the luftwaffe for the rest of the game…** no reinforcements in air was build during this game.

Russia

Russia moved 1 mec infantry in a British transport which sailed to seazone 76
Russia captured with this Mec infantry:

**Italian somalialand
Ethiopia
Tobruk

Also Iraq was captured early in the game.

later on the Russians captured Finland.**
because of this Russia was very rich the entire game.

The Japanese

after Japan took out China in round 5
All Japanese units are send to India.
because of this and the lack of units produced there in the early stages of the game India was taken by Japan.
The Japanese bought a huge navy.
and in the end of this game the Japanese where able to capture Manilla.
with heavy losses on both sides.

The US

The US launched an massive army in Sovjet far east.
This concluded of:

8 landingcrafts
5 tanks
4 armoured infantry
1 US marine
1 artillery
3 mec infantry

These units where a pain in the ass for the Japanese the entire game and liberated China in the final stages of this Game.

NOTE The Game ended in early 1945.
because of lack of time.

Final stages of the Game

At the end of this game:

The Allies where on the offensive on a massive scale.
Russia together with the US liberated China.

Germany was fighting on all sides of his borders,
with almost no air units left it was hard to counter all attacks.
Germany could not take over italy because of 1 italian artillery on vacation in Morroco.

Still Germany had an decent army on the eastern front butt could not push forward because The russians simply outnumberd the Germans.

The UK was sending a huge army to India to recapture it…
in Early 1945 the game ended because there was no time to complete the game.
( had to cath the plane) butt it was a very good game.
So the game in this point was a draw.

However, if the game had continued for like 3-5
The Allies were in my opinion on the winning hand.

Really looking forward to play next time.

The following pictures shows the situation in early 1945:

@The-Captain

Hi Captain,

Rotated the pictures.

*As I watched the game, it was clear that the Allies were gradually getting the upper hand.

By Early 1945, the Axis were no longer in a position to launch any offensive operations that could turn the tide.*

Yes, also note that italy was down to 10 ipc every round because of the massive convoy raiding.

hi everyone,

so the game is ready to go ?
and some questions i need to ask:

In the game you can place you’re units before the attack starts, this needs to be done at the end of each round.
Only waffen units from germany and marines from america and the UK can be placed before the attack fase.

Also when i attack a seazone next to england, in you’re game i can pick if i would scramble with the UK.
Butt i am playing Germany.

So these are most inportant questions for me.

@barnee I am familiar with triple a, I played like 10-20 games axis and allies global 1940 basic

@superbattleshipyamato

In round 5, the axis balance was 55-45%
Butt Japan waited to long to invade Russia.

@the-captain

Me and my friend, likes the idea of yours.
We would gladly plan a weekend in Denmark or the Netherlands.
Also if you come here we would also take care of food and a accomodation. ( Also free of charge ofcourse)

Looking forward to your response,

Dear Regards,
