@barnee the Dutch won against Turkey 💪🏻
( I am Dutch 😎)
Also Germany should have gotten a penalty against Spain.

@barnee
Hi,
The aircraft carrier always takes the first hit, if you choose a capital warship as casualty.
Example,

If you have 1 carrier and 1 battleship.
The first hit should be on the carrier. ( if you choose a capital warship as casualty)

The carrier is the primary target.
So when you attack, it’s important to leave you’re carriers behind, if you could win easily and join after the fight in the non-combat move with the fleet.

@mkgionet
You’re welcome.
Looking forward to your next game(report).💪🏻
Goodluck with Russia

@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.

@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 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.

@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 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 I have already visited the Captain multiply times. We play every year around Christmas a whole weekend axis en allies.

I saw in the last game report that you took Moscow
That’s quit impressive 💪🏻
Never being able to achieve that 😂
Anyway goodluck in you’re next game

@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.

@barnee
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

@barnee we always count the ipc tracker. If you conquer an island for example Caroline islands, then the US will get 3 extra ipc income.
Also japan decrease 3 ipc income.
It’s very important to use a ipc chart card.
Always checking the total income.

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

@VictoryFirst
Looks like a imminent defeat for the Axis!

@VictoryFirst

Looks like a great game 💪🏻
Did the Russians get army conscription?

The Us is doing great in the pacific.
18 u boats in the Atlantic is concerning though.
Looking forward to you’re next game report.
