Okay, i can play against you. Just start a game, if you please

I’m ignoring 106. This test is with the new proposed setup from Krieghund where the 106 dd is switched with a cruiser.

Uk loses everything Germany loses 2 AC or 1 AC and battleship.

So you said Germany had 51 ipcs to spend round 3

AB, 2 AC 15+16+16=47 leaving them with 4 ipcs. They have 3 Ftrs, 1bmr, 4tacs, arm(in London, and whatever land units that were left in Europe (10 inf, 2mech, 4 art about)

Russia bought: bomber, dest, sub, inf, 2 art on turn one. On turn 2 they bought:bomber, 5 inf, art, armor. On turn 3 they bought: 2 arm, 3 inf , 4 art.

Just buys in three rounds they have 9 inf, 7art, and arm vs the Germans buy of 1 art!!!
The Russians obviouslly have more on the ground now then Germany. Add the buys for three rounds. Russia takes Finland for sure. Possibly Poland, and romania.

Russia now gets paid 53 (56 if they take Korea too). Germany is making 49 ipcs if they take Scotland. If they take Poland back that’s 51. Russia is now out producing them either way.

Italy could possibly (but unlikely due to the stack of Russians) take back Romania. But Germany won’t get those ipcs until next round.

So yes I see a very great chance of winning with this lol.

The ‘Sub Stall’ is an old rule, that’s about transports not being able to load from a seazone that has “submerged” submarines in it.

Well, we finished Round 7 last night and here is the situation:
England is pretty much stuck on their island, although the Canadian factory is helping put destroyers in the water. UK’s factory and both bases are maxed out in damage.  Germany has surrounded Moscow and Stalingrad, both of which factories are also maxed out on damage.  Gotta love those SBRs.  Japan has taken all of China, Mongolia and eastern Russia.  Still no action in the Pacific or SE Asia as the Axis have been very careful not to provoke America, which is still neutral until next round.  America has built up a monsterous fleet, most of which is by the Philippines.  With that and the few ships out by Hawaii, I think they out number the Japanese fleet.  The Japs have gotten a few more warships, but had to mix that with land units to hit China, Russia and get ready to go after Allied positions.

America also has a modest fleet in the Atlantic but is stuck on the East Coast since London hasn’t fallen and nobody has attacked them.  Italy has swarmed all over Africa and the Middle East and is currently on Calcutta’s doorstep in West India.  Only British assets left are on the UK itself, Canada and SE Asia.  I’m afraid that by the time the USA can do anything, the Axis will have all the Victory Cities in Europe, Asia and Africa.

Unfortunately, my weekend is wrapping up.  Got to go back to work tonight.  We might squeeze in a round or two before going to work sometime this week, but more than likely this game will have to wait until next weekend, which for me is Mon/Tue nights.  I will post how it ends, but at this point I’m almost sure it will be an Axis victory, unless USA is able to pull a pretty big rabbit out of their hat.  I’m pretty sure Moscow will fall next round and after that will come Sealion.  Don’t think that UK will be able to do much to stop it either.

'Tis the season.

I would very much like to continue.  So, please look me up in the new year.

Happy Holidays  :-)

So you use
5 Infantry, 2 Artilery, 4 Mech, 5 Armor vs France and you get it with no problems
I use more (7inf, 2Mech, 3 Artillery, 5 Armor) and I get screwed.

This game ends at my G1 >>

I better log off, see you.

Hey Noll,
I tried out your idea in a game.  I played Germany.
LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!!!
Do you see any Germans?  Do you see any Italians?  Of course not!  They have been TOTALLY wiped out off the face of the earth.  They don’t even exist anymore.
The attached pics show the end result of our game.  First you see Europe just crowded with British and Americans.  Then you see what’s left of Japan’s empire, just a few guys stuck out on some islands to go crazy by themselves.
Okay, actually this isn’t really a result of your new game idea, but of a tremendous blunder on the part of our Japan player.  Actually, it was looking good for the Axis right at first.  Germany smashed the Royal Navy with minimal losses in aircraft.  Italy was showing strong in the Med and poised to take Egypt (with a shiny new IC placed by UK) and Japan had taken Hong Kong, Philippines, Malaya, half of the DEI and were in good shape to get Calcutta.
That’s when Japan really screwed up.  They had purchased some warships to fight off the US fleet, most of which was by Hawaii, but had NOT A SINGLE UNIT ON JAPAN ITSELF!  All land units were on transports taking Hong Kong, etc. and all the planes were on the mainland or on carriers.
Well, like I said, the US had a good size fleet at the naval base in Hawaii so on the US turn 2, they floated right up to SZ 6 and promptly sank the Japanese warships there.  Then they “walked” onto Japan with 1 transport worth of units – 1 infantry + 1 artillery – and took out Japan.  US got about 50 IPCs or so plundered from Japan, plus reduced their major IC to a minor.
Japan did have enough stuff in range to take Japan back, but the US also had a back-up fleet, this one with 3 or 4 transports of men and equipment, ready to hit them again.  Which they did and took Japan again, gaining another 50 IPCs or so.  This time Japan lost all but 1 or 2 transports and those were out of range.  Japan was done for and after 2 or 3 rounds of mopping them up, ALL the Allies started heading for Europe.
Germany managed to take Moscow but the USA took Rome in the same round.  USA and Germany traded Northern Italy for a couple of rounds until USA finally won the territory with enough left over to keep it.  It was only a matter of time after that.  USA and UK kept taking territories along the Atlantic, Moscow got liberated and Calcutta just kept sending tanks and bombers to Europe.  Finally, after 14 rounds, we ended up with what you see in the pics.
I think if Japan hadn’t made such a moronic blunder, this could have very well been an Axis victory.  By the way, the rounds did go a little faster not having to mess with ANZAC, China and France.

Still taking india round 3 must be rough. defense 2 aa guns roughly 15+ guys. offense 21 air with 6 man drop. If he loses india he should get decent TUV kill and china should still be around for a little bit longer.

Plus it is a dead giveaway if all your warships are figs get put down there, which is why ya need your destroyer for a bit. Depending on how you position before you take the islands for your NO.

Jenn, don’t talk to me, you obviously didn’t read the last part of what I said.

@Noll:

Jenn, I will be gone for the christmas eve and I will be very busy untill the mid of January (that’s 1 month!), so let’s put this game on standby please! I will still follow the team game though.

Okay, just keep in mind I start a new job on 9 Jan, 2012.  No idea if I will have time to breath.

Here we go.

Thanks.

I love that map.  :-)

For all those who don’t have battlemap, this map is very useful.

Screw doing a bid.

Do a lottery,  shake up all the roundels in your hand, and hand them out randomly.

If people want to trade, let them.  If not, forget it, and play.

Adding up to 120 in IPC’s to the game board, is NOT how to play Axis and Allies.

Well do you think, I am beaten? I am not sure, though. Should we play a couple more rounds.

I am always tempted to use this strategy with the allies. There is however always one thing which holds me from doing so: the Mongolian forces - if Japan can activate these units, I think this will tip the balance on the pacific board in favor of the Axis.

Nevertheless, It would be a disaster for Germany to defend another border, which is so close to france and the US at the same time…

Yes please MKP :)

I’ll start two threads then, but first turn is yours!

Will use Wonko’s module.

Yes altough we’re going to play by forum!
If you want to be Axis, then just start your German move :)

And here’s the Abattlemap file with the alpha+2 placements.

What about conquering PANAMA with the Japanese navy and bring both the Italian navy and then the germany nave on the other side of panama?
Of course the Japaneses must leave a blocker to counter a counter attack there.
Will you have a decent position there to treat W, E and C america with all three forces?
What are the IFs?
