@General-6-Stars hmm this US artillery on western beaches is nonsense i think, they had a plan to land there but they never did that according to the historical event.
They did land some things after the landing on other side. It was ammo, supplies, radio men and casualty pickups. Artillery represent ammo and supplies.
We Had another game last Saturday and the Axis won on turn 4.
Germany did sea lion and took London while the wolf packs did really well on attacking the UK fleet to the west of London.
Then on turn 2 the subs were able to spam out to convoy boxes helping with depleting some UK US income while UK had to retake back London and what helped also was the UK planes took out all of Germanys fleet with the sea lion transports so Germany they never got back London. But no IC on London now and UK needs to build one on turn 2 but only can be a minor that builds at 6. Plus the IC in Ottawa went to a minor build at 6 and new Capital when London fell.
Russia was able to take Finland since the German transports bought on turn 1 did not go towards there. Germany should of bought more navy on turn 1 but we learn.
So Russia was able to hold Leningrad and force the Europe Axis to go else where for victory points.
What really helped Germany turn 1 was they influenced Spain and was able to use there units to London and take Gib.
Also axis took Cairo too and that helped them a lot. plus on turn 4 Germany influenced Turkey and then it was to much for Allies to over come. Allies did block a win on turn 3 by taking Colonge and Oslo but then Colonge would be retaken by Germany on turn 4 so allies conceded.
Pacific side Japan was doing good but then don’t ask me why but the American fleet moved but left all there transports exposed to Japan attacks in other sea zones off on Marshall Islands.
Plus looks like Calcutta’s gonna fall next and just to much for allies to retake.
Was another great game and saw some new stuff after sea lion and now will see how allies counter it in future games.
Pics are start of turn 4 and 1 pic of Cairo going to fall.

@General-6-Stars Good action. Nice to see another game report. Sea lion F yea lol
Captain and Company still coming over this year ?
AS of now no.
Got a game this Saturday Sept. 23 at 8 am at the General’s Fortress. All generals have there orders !
Will post some pics and outcome.
New bonus axis 1 point for control of all of Burma Road.
Assam, Burma, Yunnan and Kweichowz based on all LL cutoff from allies. Plus still in game 1 victory point for Rangoon.
Keep in mind if AB is damaged in Assam no LL from the Hump into China
Update changes to pieces. The mechs will now attack @3
and the elite mechs will go to attack @4.
The Spa’s will now go to attack @5 and if roll is a 2 or less can pick any target since we use that piece as a 2 unit.
The Russian NA Spa will be the same attack @5 but now if roll is a 3 or less can pick target.
Next game is Dec 9th at 8 am and it will be played at the General’s Fortress in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
@The-Captain said in General 6 Stars 1941 WW2 Game:
Hi General,
Great game - looks very interesting… after all, it seems that Sea Lion does not come first in every game… ?
How does the game mechanism work concerning German influence on Turkey ?
Do you have any similar rule concerning Axis influence on Spain ?
Pretty much now if Sea Lion happens you need to in fluence Spain on turn 1. Other wise no Spain and its a 50 50 chance on getting without Spain. Plane kills. Paratrooper kills and not looking good.
Both influences show on chart how its done. The Event Cards will have a few saying who joins a side and other stuff. Some good some bad.
@AAGamer said in General 6 Stars 1941 WW2 Game:
So does the event cards give Germany 2 aircraft carriers and 2 fighters on each. Hehe, just kidding. Curious as to what is in those neutral cards!!
Looks great Ray!!
Thanks guys. If you double click on pic it will blow up to see.
Ya Germany gets 2 AC’s ! LOL
Putzin with a new game dedicated to the Marine Corps.
Another epic game. 12 hours. Probably would have ended sooner if Berlin didn’t fall.
Calcutta fell. Cairo fell. Paris liberated but too late. Pics of game
US attacked Hong Kong. Mistake. Lost all its fleet with no back up but that was mostly because the Germans had an unbearable sub attack roll against one of the UK fleets so there was 18 ger Wolfpack subs in Atlantic end of turn 1. Still give Allie’s credit mostly on Europe side to keep them in game longer. Allies may have won if game continued. Hard to say.
@barnee
No it was Admiral Carl Nuk Nuk. !!!
He may of moved in with his fleet to block an early axis win ? Possible
Had a game last month. Allies won. Even though Moscow fell. Have another game this coming sat on Dec 14
We are playing now with bombers get to defend on any bombing run. Not just SBR. Technically it’s a SBR any time they attack anything
We are also using the dice rolls of the bomber to force the defender to choose a casualty piece based on dice rolls number.
Also can get my hit dice now at combat miniatures for civil war games and any normal game. Good deal going on.
You get 100 dice for 40 bucks. 20 dice of each color. Threw in a grey for de South or your h tanks.
Got another game in 2 weeks. Last game Rome fell but axis still won based on US lost half there fleet in pacific turn 2. Not good. But it was cool to see S Italy fall to UK. Then right away you roll for all Italian units on map and where they go. So Italy had a bunch of inf in Rome for defense but most of them inf went to prison. Then the US landed in Rome there turn they were able to take Rome based on less Italians there and not enough German units. So that rule is awesome in game.!
Can “Operation Bright Skies” save the day ? !!!
Find out this coming Saturday !!!
Been awhile. Made some great tweaks to game. New map. 3 NAa now. Gets each country that 1 extra piece in game that changes it up
See ya in Dayton!!!
Bringin 4 of my games.
@Imperious-Leader said in Learning History With AA Europe (1999):
Timid is the wrong approach. That game is broken for about 20 years. Just buy all tanks as Germany. First take Leningrad and in 2 more turns, Moscow. People still play it because they like to get in as many wins as they can and beat noobs. Axis and Allies Europe 1940 is a vastly superior game.
What are you doing being up this early in the morning ? Trolling ?
I have a d day map if your interested in for Triple A and or piece rules added and I just use 1 deck. You can still do the normal game on it also.
Anybody try the 6 icp transport ? If u go to a 5 icp transport you probably would need to change the setup a bit for trannys.
@DespotDoug said in Cruisers vs fighters:
@SS-GEN
I agree cruisers are over priced, but it seems some of the options laid out are nuclear and change a LOT. I agree that one change can create a domino effect, but not if you make a small change. Here are a few suggestions.What about giving Cruisers ONE of the following:
- Just a little bit cheaper. 11 or maybe 10 IPC. 10 probably gets them too close to destroyers, but given subs are so cheap I don’t think it makes Destroyers irrelevant.
In my game I have lowered the cost of a Cruiser and raised the cost of the fig. D12 system
Cruiser : A7 D7 M3 C9 SHB 3 with a return shot.
Fighter : A6 D7 M5 C11 DF3
Also Battleship SHB@4 with a return shot.
Destroyer SHB@2 with a return shot.
- Make Cruisers (and Battleships) bombard ability like a sub’s sneak attack. Defending land units don’t get to return fire. This is a nice perk, but IMO not over powered. Maybe it does not apply to air casualties.
Stated in above post.
- Cruisers (and agains you probably have to do the same for Battleships) bombard ability go for 2 rounds instead of just the first.
No need to.
I like buffing the bombard ability of Cruisers as it is what makes them different - cheaper way that a Battleship to get a 3/3 in the water and hit the coast for invasions. Just some thoughts as I have not tried any of these.
When you start to lower costs to pieces you have to adjust your whole roster of pieces is best. This is what I have.
Battleship A9 D9 M2 C15 SHB@4 1 damage A6 D6 M2 no SHB.
Cruiser A7 D7 M3 C9 SHB@3 with a RTS
Destroyer A3 D3 M2 C6 SHB@2 with a RTS
Subs A5 D2 M2 C7 FS can dive with destroyers present.
Carrier A2 D4 M2 C14 A & D at planes only.
