Hi just send you in chat

@VictoryFirst and You 😎💪🏻

@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.

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:

@Trout looking forward to it 💪🏻😎

This weekends Global 1940 two-player game ended Friday, 28 March Here is a brief situation report:

Players:
Axis: CC
Allies: The Captain

Early 1940:
Germany:
Germany is building up transports and landingcrafts.

France and Southern France are captured. Finland & Bulgaria joins Germany.

Allied fleets in sz 110 & 111 are eliminated.

Soviet Union:
The Soviets build up with a mixed unit combination of Paratroopers, Commissar, Tank, Artillery and Elite Infantry. also a lot of Mines.

Massive re-organization plus troop movement by Strategic Rail Movement.

Late 1940

Germany.

builds up 1 waffen army and builds a heavy battleship including 2 transports in the meds.
also germany produces 5 air transports.
no further attacks in the second round.

Russia

Is building up a vast amount of mines,
also all Russian troops takes strategic locations to fend of any attack.

Japanese

The japanese is only attacking in China,
and is organizing its fleet to attack in the 3e round.

The US

is building up units to kill Germany first, almost all money goes the Europe theater, the entire game.

UK

the UK retakes all original country’s from italy in Africa.

Situation in the end of round 3

Germany is building up a army group in the middle east,
The Japanese are sending units to reinforce the italians and germans in Africa.

In Round 3 the Japanese sends a part of his navy to seazone 58. This makes it possible to attack at multiple positions next round.
This forces the allies player to blockade all directions to fend off an enemy invasion.

The Japanese captured the money islands in the next rounds (also China was captured )
Butt slowly US and Anzac transport liberated the money islands.
A war of attrition was held.

The Japanese prepared to take the Phillipennes
Butt this island was heavily reinforced with fighter units.
The Japanese attacked butt lost 13-18 land based units. They captured the islands butt lost to many troops, to continue the fight and re-capture the money islands.

After the russians army consricption the Axis powers in the Europe Theater where slowly destroyed and Pushed back

Because of the heavy investment in units in africa and the middle east,
soon the eastern front collapsed.
The UK and the US including Russia attacked Germany every round massively.
In round 10 The German’s decided to take over Italy.
and captured Egypt again with heavy losses for the British player.

Butt in this Round after the Japenese the Allies took as much as country’s as they could get.

**This was a very skilled and strategic planned operation, The Allies waited for the Germans to take over. They Allies where counting the ipc tracker on a massive scale.

So the Russians captured country’s deep in the German homeland.

The US captured the Atlantic coast including Holland , Norway Danmark including French. And Normandy.

The UK captured southern France.

The Anzac Captured the last money islands.

So after this Round the allies have like 200 ipc plus on the ipc tracker.
So a economic victory was a fact.

Fun Fact: there is a waffen army fighting in China in the final round.

@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 😎

Hi everyone… 💪🏻
Really looking forward to this tournament.
Can’t wait to play against the best

@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!😎

@Trout

Those additional bonuses looks great.
Also the fight would be more intense in the Balkan and the Mediterranean Sea. Also Operation Torch would be more viable

@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.

@SuperbattleshipYamato

Yes it’s the first successful sea lion attack.🙌🏻

Global 1940, No. 2 Game Report:

This is the only post in the No 2 Game Report.

Players:
Axis: Cornelis Post
Allies: Beserker

The game has endend after Germany, in round 10

IPC Income round 9
without Bonus.

The Axis 141.
The Allies 128

Germany:
Germany attacks Russia in round 3, the Italians captured Caucasus in round 3.
in round 4 with help of the Italians a huge force was on Caucasus, also one German tank army.
after this the axis held the Caucasus for several turns, the Axis quickly conquered the middle east.
In round 9 the Allies were able to defeat the last German forces in the middle east,

The desert army was:

One Tank army
One waffen ss army. ( dropped with air units)
and 10 infantry.
Because of the allies strategy to build no navy at all in the Atlantic,
the Germans saw a perfect chance to execute Sealion after the take over.

Soviet Union:

The Sovjet Union was under heavy pressure from Germany at the start of the game, butt because of the axis invading the middle east, this was relieving for the Russians.
in the following turns the Russians are becoming very strong.
only 1 plane was successfully send lend lease.
3 planes from the English where destroyed by axis forces. (Also send lend lease)
The Russians where fighting a war of attrition.

Japan:

The Japanese forces are building up a huge amount of transports till round 4,
they only build 1 factory in china in the early stages of war.
the Plan was to take as fast as possible the money islands and the Philippens.
The Japanese build up a huge forces in the Caroline islands, The US could not capture it the entire game.
In Round 9 the Japanese defeated the last remaining Chinese soldiers.
In round 8 because of the huge build up of transports the British soldiers in India must retreat.
They destroyed the factory harbor and airfield. ( first making the factory underground.)

United States:

The US invented a new strategy to use air transport to move units to Africa every round.
which led to 50+ mechanized infantry in Asia and Afrika.
The only navy build was on the pacific,
The US navy in the pacific was a very strong fleet.
With one carrier with 2 fighter aces ass well.
The US was constantly looking to attack the Caroline islands. Butt at this point in the war it was no option till so far.

China:
The Chinese Army was doing a great job and stead a very long time alive.

United Kingdom:

The UK attacked the Italian fleet in the first round.
In the 2 round they attacked the remaining fleet of the Italians,
which led to no Italian navy butt also no English navy.

The UK was heavenly reinforcing Afrika and also India,
Java where 10 infantry was dug in, in bunkers.

Italy:

From Early 1940 Italy mass produces Landing Craft units, to invade Russia and the middle east.
The Italians where very poor in the beginning because of the massive attacks from the allies,
butt with help of the Germans the Italians captured the entire middle east.
They hold it for at least 2-3 round.

with help of German U boats the Mediterranean sea was swept clean in round 3.
because of no allied navy the Italians held the bonus for 5 IPC the entire game afterwards for a clean sea.

The Anzac,

Because of the Japanese attacks in round 4 the Anzac where very weakened,
The Anzac focus was to recapture islands and do convoy raiding.

The Following pictures show the beginning of Round 10,
because London was captured, and the Allies could not recapture it, it was not necessary to complete the round after the German turn

![IMG_9136.JPEG]

With the take over germany pulled all troops back together with italian troops.
Italy bought 8 transports before the take over.
The Germans build 12 transports after the take over. Total of 21 transports.
And 5 landing crafts
So after the take over the UK has one round to buy units for London, butt the UK had 39 ipc at this point, so they purchased 9 infantry and 1 flak tower.

Units involved in Sealion.

3 Fighters aces
2 heavy bombers

@harm

Hey Harm,

Er zijn nog genoeg mensen die axis en allies spelen ;)

@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 ?

@Trout Great to hear about the axis win💪🏻
Yes the HRE is truly outstanding good.
I’ve played the game like 30-50 times and I still make new strategies.

The landing crafts and paratroopers are the best units available on the board definitely.
Also when you play with the axis Italy can conquer a country, or island. And Germany can move his planes in the country in the upcoming round ( also with air transport, Germany can move a panzer unit with air transport.)
So for example Italy takes Alexandria in round 3.
And germany buys 6 air units at round 3. Germany can launch an invasion with 6 units and all airplanes to Afrika.
The UK must retreat.

So after a few games the balance will become 50/50 for the axis and the allies.

So also the allies must plan very carefully what to do.
We are also working on a YouTube channel.
This year we are planning to explain the rules on YouTube, and after some strategic opening moves.

It’s nice to see more people enjoying the game 😎

@barnee
I am not quite Sure with this.
Butt i would say yes because the CV is the most important target
