  The Wiking-Con events are usually for Veteran Players - that is why the number is limited to 6 or 8 players.

  For future Wiking-Con events, players must qualify in order to participate.

  Players who have 6 points or more are qualified to participate in a Wiking-Con event.

  The following should be considered as part of a German Strategic Plan that includes a War of Attrition against the Soviet Union:

  The Combat Engineer units are extremely important on the game board. This is true especially for Germany.

  During the heavy fighting on the Eastern Front, Germany can use the Combat Engineer units to transport Infantry, Mines etc. from Berlin (Germany) to Baltic States and Eastern Poland - back and forth for as long as needed.

  This is important, since Germany only has a capacity of 2 Strategic Rail Movement in each round.

  Also, as soon as German Combat Engineer units are represented on the game board, the Soviet player must think carefully how many Mines to produce - and where to place them.

  One of my favorite German Strategic Plans includes the following:

  Early 1940:
  Germany purchases 2 Combat Engineer units and 6 Mines (plus other units)

  Late 1940:
  Germany purchases 2 Waffen-SS Assault Pioneer units (plus other units).
  During Non-Combat Movement these Waffen-SS Assault Pioneer units each transports 3 Mines to German controlled France.

  Early 1941:
  The 2 Waffen-SS Assault Pioneer units transport the Industrial Complex in France to German controlled Yugoslavia.
  The Mines are left in France and can be dug in to defend the coast line somewhere in Normandy/Bordeaux and/or Holland Belgium.

  Late 1941:
  The 2 Waffen-SS Assault Pioneer units transport the Industrial Complex in Yugoslavia to German controlled Romania (or maybe even German controlled Bessarabia if the German units captured Bessarabia in Early 1941 - and are able to hold it against Soviet counter attacks.)

  Early 1942:
  From Early 1942 Germany produces units at the Industrial Complex that was captured in France and transported to the Eastern Front.
  The 2 Waffen-SS Assault Pioneer units have now fulfilled their first mission - and are now able to take on a new mission (attack, transport units, remove enemy Mines etc.).

  We hope that this will inspire you to develope further strategies that includes Combat Engineer units and Waffen-SS Assault Pioneer units.

  @The_Good_Captain

  No, the British player cannot buy supply with pre-game variable RPs.
  On page 9, the plastic game pieces are referred to as combat units and trucks. As supply is not a plastic piece, they are not combat units.

  Under LAND UNITS on page 30: “Infantry, mechanized infantry, artillery, anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft artillery, scout cars, and tanks are combat units, but trucks are not combat units.” Supply is not listed here as a combat unit.

  Looks like we should have defined combat units more carefully, but the phrase “combat unit” appears dozens of times in the rulebook and it is clear in those uses that supply is not considered a combat unit.

  Thanks,
  Matt

  Howdy, you get what you put into it, the figure cards reminds me of the minis, in the old Buck Rogers in the 25th. Century Game.
  You can always House Rule the game, to one’s delight. I plan to RoundRobin it, in the near future(another post, another day).
  I already gotten some minis from my old die casts Triacs and Vrocs sets.
  Adding to the game fighter bombers, hover copters, VTOL Fighters that operate from the Cruisers, Recon. Jeeps, and, a “Sour Grapes” land missile carrier.
  You can order the Bucket of Modern Air and Sea Forces, where you can pick up some nice nuke attack submarines.
  Also APCs and Hover tanks, from Fortress America and transports from A&Allies Games.
  Supplements of Forces will add more spice to your gaming, it work wonders for the old Buck Rodgers game.
  My RoundRobin will only use the original units of eight, that came with the game.
  After all Zvezda used the Command and Colors system quite nicely for some of their games.
  G.I. Joe powered by Axis and Allies rules will go quite nicely, give it time.
  Who knows what the future brings, Lord of the Rings Battle of the Five Armies powered by Axis and Allies would be interesting, thanks, Pellulo

  @Krieghund Thank you for the swift reply. I don’t think that thought crossed my opponent’s mind (we usually play Global, so the idea of attacking Germany…and leaving oneself open to counterattack…is not on the radar).

  Zombies is a different game.

  @Panther

  Thanks, that helps a lot. I would still like to have the missing and altered pieces/ sculpts. Basically it was a labeling mistake by the seller. On the other hand, sending it back and looking for another offer is too much hassle. Maybe I can fix it with a 3D print :-)
  I’ve known Axis & Allies for a long time, but the Europe and Pacific versions somehow slipped past me. They’re really well improved compared to the rather simple world version.

  Hey there,

  maybe you followed my questions regarding the Russian revolution (here: https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/post/1779566). If so you should be familiar with the situation.

  If not: Below you see a pre-Revolution situation. Austria finished its moves. It wiped out the British troops in Kazakhstan. An easy win, but a huge strategic error.
  The Russian player then tried to trap those troops by provoking the Revolution with a withdrawal from Livonia and the Liberation of Ukraine. It failed, interestingly. So Ukraine stayed contested. Subsequently, the Entente accepted without hesitation the offered armistice and the Austrian army could move out of Russia to fight another day.

  cec45a2c-a2ed-4b4d-870e-52e82d7fc20f-grafik.png

  That said, I would like to know if you would accept the armistice even if Russia succeeded in liberating Ukraine and therefore trapping the Austrian army for good. What say you?

  You never control a sea zone.
  Sea zones are either friendly (contain no enemy surface warship) or hostile (contain enemy surface warship(s)).
  The result of a sea battle is that you have cleared it of enemy units (or not).

  The practical application in an actual game is the following:

  This can adversely affect naval battles with multiple unit types on both sides and land battles in which the defender has a bomber(s) or a defense with multinational forces present.

  It can cause the defender to misallocate his hits not knowing if the attacker is going to roll hot, cold or par.

  Round 3: Red moves trooper to ice hex that connects NP base to Greenland. Defeats 2 Joe C defenders at entrance to Apogee Base( no lost for its two C).

  Builds rattler for NP base

  Blue sends C to island below NP base, joined by another C off NP base. Jet from Apogee Base attacks and destroys Red trooper ón ice hex, that connects NP base to Greenland.

  Blue builds 2 C at Main Base.

  Black controls the seas in the upper part of the board, so what, without a trooper to make a landing. Just being there they ?do not allow White to build a C just below its Main White Base. The White Jet station there, probably will attack them on its turn, so with a C defense of two, they head towards NP base.

  From NP base Rattler attacks N. Greenland 1 VP hex defended in the air by Blue Jet. Both are lost. Builds 2 C NP base.

  White sends Jet from main base, chasing after two Black C heading towards NP base. Jet and a C are lost. Builds 2 C at its Main Base.

  On November 19, 1942, the Red Army initiated Operation Uranus, a meticulously planned and executed offensive that aimed to encircle the German Sixth Army and its allies in Stalingrad. This operation, involving over 1.1 million Soviet troops, exemplified remarkable strategic coordination, logistical skill, and operational daring. By striking the weaker flanks held by Axis satellite forces, the Soviets created an unprecedented double envelopment, trapping tens of thousands of enemy soldiers within a tightening pocket. The success of Operation Uranus not only showcased the Red Army’s growing mastery of large-scale mechanized warfare but also marked a decisive turning point on the Eastern Front, shifting the initiative firmly in favor of the Allies. It demonstrated extraordinary resilience, planning, and tactical ingenuity under extreme conditions, cementing Stalingrad as a symbol of Soviet determination and military prowess during the Second World War. The operation remains studied today as a masterpiece of strategic execution.
