Global 1940, No. 20 Game Report:

This is the only post in the No. 20 Game Report.

Players:
Axis: The Captain
Allies: Keld R.

Germany:
From Early 1940 to Early 1941, Germany captured Western Europe and prepared for an attack on the Soviets in Late 1941.

A German defense of Western Europe mostly included Mines & Infantry.

Soviet Union:
The Soviets prepared for an agressive defense with a combination of Fighter units, Tank Armies, Army Corps and Soviet Guards.

When Germany in Late 1941 launched the attack against Russia, the Soviets agressively counter attacked the Germans with heavy casualties on both sides.

The Soviet Strategic Plan was skillfully coordinated with both United States and United Kingdom.

Japan:
The Japanese Strategic Plan was to capture most islands in the South Pacific while the Chinese Front was secondary.
From Late 1940 UK units from India supported the Chinese defense - and by Early 1943 China was still defending against the Japanese invaders.

United States:
The US Navies in the Atlantic and the Pacific were gradually reinforced massively.
The US Strategic Plan in the Pacific was to support Russia - with US troops landing in Soviet Far East - and moving towards Japanese occupied China.

United Kingdom:
UK Lend-Lease Air & Tank units were shipped to Russia from Late 1941.
UK units were contiuously attacking Western Europe with Paratrooper units and Naval Assaults.
UK declared War on Japan in Early 1940 and units from India immediately supported the Chinese defenders.

As the War went on, Axis forces were gradually eliminated by agressive Allied counter attacks on land, sea and air.

By Late 1942, the combined US and UK Naval forces in the Atlantic - and the US Navy in the Pacific - were superior to the Axis Naval forces.

The End:
In Late 1942 the UK Navy in the Atlantic moved from sz 91 to sz 92 - and thereby leaving the US Navy vulnerable to atack from the German Kriegsmarine.

The German Kriegsmarine launched attack on the US Navy - and eliminated an enormous US Invasion Fleet.
German casualties were heavy - and the Kriegsmarine was facing elimination from a UK Naval Counter attack.
This left the US troops stranded in Gibraltar and Morocco.

After the catasrophic US Naval losses in the Atlantic, the US launched a massive Naval Assault against Tokyo…

to be continued soon…

@Narvik said in Blog: The grand Strategy Game.:

@DoManMacgee Oh no, it’s not finished, it’s in progress. I need to figure out the Collect Income too, and that is not easy. We have the GDP that change all the time, and also the Military Outlays change from month to month. I don’t even know for sure how many aircrafts were made because the estimates differ from source to source. Some say US made 30 000 aircrafts but no more than 2000 were operational at any time, so where did all the planes go? And the estimates of casualties on the Eastern Front differ one million men give or take. In my Blog that is like 10 Infantry. I can’t make an accurate historical correct Blog if I don’t know the correct numbers.

Oh wow I didn’t know you were actively going back and editing it to be more correct. That makes it a much more interesting project because of the level of accuracy that you’re striving for.

to solve this I could let Germany dow USA in Round 9 fall. Also not historically correct, since in fact Japan dow’ed USA before Germany dow’ed USA. A very importent point is that Japan would’nt dow anyone before the german attack on Moscow was resolved. IF success Japan would attack USSR far east, but if failure Japan would attack USA.
Have you considered using one of the unofficial fangames like HBG’s Global War 1936 to go to a finer level of detail? It may help with some aspects of the simulation since basically every country from the era has its own space on the map (so, for example, Hungary and Czechoslovakia are their own territories, no “Hungary-Slovakia”).

To change the Turn order was never even considered. That would mess up everything.
Yes I agree. The point is to simulate the war using in-game rules as closely as possible.

I don’t see any other way to do it. A slight violation of the OOB rules yes, but also the less of many evils. But I am surprised it was no questions.
I didn’t mind the liberties you took because I was not familiar with other projects that have done similar things. I will have to go through and read some sections again to ask more detailed questions.
