Situation on the Eastern Front in Early 1943, after Soviet turn. The Soviets attacked Bryansk with a tank army and an infantry, in order to destroy the German units and then retreat to Moscow again. But they accidentally took the territory, which meant the Russians needed to stack Bryansk as much as possible, otherwise the Tank Army would be destroyed by the German counter-attack. They were just not able to hold AND Archangel AND Bryansk, so they moved their Armies from Archangel to Bryansk, stacked up Smolensk and stacked up Bryansk. This way, they hope to hold on to forward positions as best as possible, although they had to give up Archangel (which gave the Russian player five bonus income every time). The Soviets are feeling the German pressure and a lot of destroyed German Armies are coming to reinforce the Eastern Front, including Waffen and Panzer Grenadier units.

For some reason, the View Turn Summary button screen went away before I had a change to click on it, so this one has no Turn Summary :(

Early 1943, Japanese turn, the Axis capitulate. The Japanese tried to crack Yunnan and really could do so with all their airpower. But they had to do other important stuff as well like destroying some transports and units in sz’s that had to be blocked. Each time the Japanese had to send one aircraft that could reach Yunnan on another mission. Eventually, the attack against Yunnan wasn’t that strong. It could be made stronger because I overlooked some subs that could reach the Malayan sea, which could free up other ships that attacked the fleet there, which could free up aircraft that could reach Yunnan. But that didn’t happen so the attack failed, China is about to get liberated, and sz 6 is going to get attacked with ships from Hawaii, and airpower from the Carolines. Then, the allies could non-combat their fleets to sz 6 and blockade Japan. then Japan would be doomed.
This is the final situation:

Alright, first turn is up! Looking forward to your G2, this is going to be a fun and interesting game!

Can paratroopers attack with rockets at ‘3’ the first round, or at ‘1’?

In the rulebook, it says that Waffen-paratroopers come into play in Late 1943 (round 7). But Late 1943 is round 8.

@the-captain

British buy 1 destroyer, 4 infantry and 3 uk_armours; Remaining resources: 0 PUs;

Another question, this came up in the game I am running now (it’s a damn exciting game by the way, I think it’s going to be the first game where the Axis have a good chance of winning :) I changed some of my Axis strats and it’s working)

It’s about the Banzai rule. What if Japan amphibiously assaults Borneo with two infantry from the Philippines, and two Infantry from Malaya? Can Japan perform a banzai attack on Borneo? And what will happen? Because it’s stated that if any unit other than infantry participates in the attack, the banzai attack isn’t possible, but it also states that the infantry have to come from the same territory, but there seems to be no explanation what happens if you attack with only infantry from multiple territories

1. Isn’t it possible at all?
2. Do only two infantry get their banzai bonus?
3. Do all infantry get the bonus?

I hope it’s option 3 or 2, since Japan then can conquer three of the Dutch East Indies at once :)

@the-captain There is currently an error in the module (it has been fixed now though, but not for this game), which makes the British Turn Summary screen to go away, and immediately go over to the Italian start of turn. That’s why the turn summary of the British is not posted, unlike the others.

It’s now Late 1942. Japan defeated China previous turn, and they now struck towards the Money Islands. With a clever fleet strategy, they manage to hold back the Allied fleet around the Carolines. They have two main fleets, the one in the Philippines, and the one around Japan. If the American fleet attacks one of them with everything it has, the combat factors are just in favour of the Americans. But with the Kamikaze tokens, and not being adjacent to friendly territory where fighters can land, this will be a very risky move.

@The-Captain Is this a good position for Japan to be in? What would you do as the US? Risk the attack on one of the two fleets? Pull back to Hawaii and wait for reinforcements? Being annoying by moving the fleet to sz 54 (the one adjacent to Queensland) and threaten to take back some of the money islands?

Hi, sorry for the silence. Believe it or not, I got another harsh flu. I became very busy after that (again) because of work, and then I kind of couldn’t spare time for this. Life got in the way a bit. Strange, normally I never have the flu, but this time I got two in one month!
Now, I really want to resume our ongoing game, so here is my turn finally. I hope you have had a nice Christmas and a happy New Year.

I always like how the Soviets are able to hold back the Germans with only like 20-25 IPC of income :)

Lol, what you can do is do your turn first as a local game, once or twice, and then do it for real as a PBEM game. I do that as well, and I almost never forget to move something, because I already played out the turn and remembered the moves I am going to make.

And sorry about being late again, I guess I am just slow with everything ")

@barnee Wait, you have five bunkers in Normandy, while only four regular infantry? Only regular infantry can be inside a bunker, so only four bunkers are allowed there, unless you move more infantry into Normandy.

Because I was running out of pieces every time, I was thinking about buying some extra units at HBG. But now I have a question: how many American/Japanese ACs, American/British fighters and American/British Japanese destroyers come up in your guy’s game? I also keep the 1943 Expansion in mind, since I’ve never played a game of that, but I did set up the game to see how it looked. I immediately ran out of American destroyers and German infantry/tanks. So I will buy 6 extra German tanks but I am not sure how many ships can come up in both games.

And what about the roundels? The German roundels tend to run out pretty quickly. Any other nations? I guess some extra Japanese ones as well?

I have G40 plus the A&A 1941 Edition, but I don’t really like the pieces of that game (especially the roundels).

And to clarify, I always top off a marker with a corresponding unit i.e. a Paratrooper marker will have an infantry unit on top of it unless there really isn’t one (like Landing Crafts, Air Transports, etc.)

@the-captain
Wow, I didn’t know this thread existed! I would love to know how your rules came about!

@black_elk

Thank you so much Black Elk for the fix! I wanted to move my sub from sz 36 to sz 41, but the game wouldn’t let me do it. Even when I moved to sz 43 first and then to sz 41 the game curved my path along sz 37 and said the distance was too great. Turns out that on the real map, these SZs aren’t adjacent at all!

I like the solution. Simple, but effective. The war can go back on at full speed!

I also was thinking about how we can manage the representation of the armies on board, and make it as clear as possible. As a first step, we could represent the Panzer/Tank armies by a token or flag, because a Panzer Army always consists of the same units. This will save space, and it will be easier to move around as well. And when you use them in battle, you can edit the tanks back in.

Not sure how to handle the other Armies though. It might become a bit messy when you have to check every time what’s in the Army, and editing the units back in could also lead to problems. I still think creating a separate section/space on the map could be interesting. This section could function like the Army Board in a real game. For example, the units from the 1st Waffen Army in Slovakia could be placed/edited into the 1st Waffen Army territory (which could be either above the map or below). Then, you place a token of the 1st Waffen Army into Slovakia, and you only have to look at the territory to see what’s in there.

This would need some graphic artwork though, and I know you said graphics aren’t your thing. Neither is mine, but I still think I can be of assistance in this process. I know how to work with GIMP, so I could try to make some tokens there. Then we can see if it works in triplea.

Might this be an idea?
