US can only be captured by a poor US player, there is no way in early turns for Axis to stomp USA.
Can someone tell me how I have anything to do with this? I must admit that Roosevelt and I never got along, but I would never advocate having a reign of tyranny descend upon those stupid Americans.

Seeing as you’re the only major allied power to surrender, take the hint.
Japan TOOK Hawaii on J1? How? Japan can attack with 1 transport against 2 inf and 2 fighters.
The rest just seems… foolish on the part of the U.S. With a J1 they should have had plenty of resources for 3 full turns to mount a defense, or even sink whatever the Germans had sitting in the middle of the Atlantic, at most a battleship, cruiser, and carrier with 2 fighters (not even at SZ 91 with help from the Italians?).
They could have scrambled against japan to defend the fleet. Maby he thought i could win the naval battle with the scrambles ( if japan went in weakish )
But yes looks like pretty strange USA play, japan putting its fleet that far out is at a huge risk
I’m with Churchill on this one, if Germany wants to try to land on my homeland, I welcome the attempted. I can’t image how foolish it would be. Same with US, if I think German transports with good numbers could reach US, I will just pump out infantry for a turn.
In my last game France took Berlin on F8. It was wild, but nothing like the game before that when Italy took Sydney on I7. We never talk about the Italian Pacific can-opener, it’s a real game changer.
I once had a game where spain invaded france then fought off the germans only to be beatem by a suprise dow by switzerland.
Then tasmania succeeded from australia and declared war on every single player and won using only a stick of celery.

That sounds too incredible. Is it really true?
I have to admit, my noob ass had this one trick pony happen to me too. I even posted about it because I thought rules were broken.

I need to know how Italy got a fleet and army to ANZAC.

Utter determination. Italy was seeking retaliation because our game before that ANZAC sacked Rome on turn 9.
That doesn’t explain how Italy got a fleet through UK territory and escort it’s army to ANZAC without it being destroyed.

You guys should be more concerned about how the Russians sacked Tokyo game before that.
Well, with a bit of luck, the Russians can take Korea and perhaps build an IC there. It’s unlikely, but possible. With US and Indian aid, they can build a Pacific Fleet over time and eventually build some transports. It’s tricky, but I’ve seen it happen.
Until you explain how this happened, I am going to assume you made it up.

Crazy how I made up all of these increasingly fantastical scenerios, then the OP finally comes out of the woodwork to respond, only to say he’s actually seen a Russian fleet with transports in the Pacific. This dude has me all messed up now. lol

It is possible!
UK built an IC in Egypt- Italy takes it.
Italy build an CV plus TT and German Planes landing on them.
Italy sails south sz 75 with loaded TT and CV.
Japan holds Suma and Java.
Then Japan takes care of US Fleet and blocking or killing it and landing on W.Ausi.
Italy and G reinforcing it.
The Rest is…voila.
Now you need somebody who is interested to play triple a dir aus first time.
Yes I know it’s possible but I want to know how specially his game went which he refuses to explain how he got a fleet from Italy with an Army to ANZAC and still take it.
FYI USSR making a Pacific Fleet is more plausible than that situation.

Like I said I made it all up. I was trying to coax the OP out of hiding.
I don’t have the map in front of me but now that I think of it Italy has a better chance of going through Gibralter and sailing around south America if they really wanted to bust into the Pacific lol
I frankly agree. Sail into sz92 I1, take Gibraltar I2, sail off I3. You can be off the coast of Queensland by I7. (If anyone actually does this, Larry Harris will likely award them a medal for Most Original Global 40 Game)

In that situation, you might as well jack several loose colonies along the way, get Brazil while you’re down there.
