  • @cornelis-post

    No! Why does Japan always die before Germany? Give Germany a miracle please.


  • @superbattleshipyamato

    In round 5, the axis balance was 55-45%
    Butt Japan waited to long to invade Russia.



  • @cornelis-post Nice report. Sweet photos ! Did Germany consider taking Italy over ?


  • @barnee

    Yes, in the last round Germany took over Italy.
    In the previous rounds Italy could not retreat his troops from Africa because a allied blockade, in the Mediterranean Sea.

    yea I’ve just been sending them on suicide attacks if necessary to kill em off. It’s a little bit of a burn with no more can openers but that extra turn basically with them can do some major damage.

    Anyway, thanks again for a Great Game Report and pics. Looking forward to more :)


  • @barnee

    With ones of Axis victory!

    Global 1943, No. 3 Game Report: Round Early 1943 (round 1):

    This Global 1943 two-player game has just begun today. For the first time we play a Global 1943 game by e-mail.

    To make this Game Report more managable, we’ll post a new thread for each round.

    Here is a brief situation report:

    Players:
    Axis: The Captain
    Allies: Keld Rasmussen

    Germany, Early 1943:
    Germany is building up The Atlantic Wall defense line and partly withdrawing units from Africa.

    Germany dosn’t launch any attacks in Early 1943. Instead all Waffen-SS units are upgraded in Berlin (Germany).

    Global 1943, G1 purchase.JPG Global 1943, G1 switch SS.JPG

    A massive re-organization of German Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS units takes place on the Eastern Front.
    Army Group North has its core build up around 2nd. Panzer Army and 2nd Waffen-SS Army - and is strengthening its position around Novgorod.
    Army Group Center has its core build up around 3rd and 4th Waffen-SS Armies - and is building up strength in Eastern Poland - ready to launch a coordinated attack with either Army Group North or Army Group South.
    Army Group South in Rostov has its core build up around 1st Panzer Army and 1st Waffen-SS Army - and is the German Main Stronghold on the Eastern Front.

    Global 1943, G1 placement.JPG Global 1943, G1 situation.JPG

    In the Atlantic, the German U-Boat units are scattered to avoid destruction - and to disperse Allied Naval units.

    In the Western Europe sphere, the situation is more or less unchanged, due to the massive reinforcemnts on the Eastern Front.

    Germany has created two Waffen-SS Paratrooper units - and together with other Paratrooper units, they are moved to Southern Italy - waiting to launch a Surprise Attack against any weakend Allied territory.

    Global 1943, G1 NCM.JPG

    Soviet Union, Early 1943:
    10 Tank units are purchased by the Soviets (50 IPC). The Total War rule is now available, which means that USSR gets 2 extra Tank units. So 12 Tank units are ready for placement at the end of R1.
    1, R1, purchase.JPG
    The Soviet Union launches a series of attacks against Stalingrad, Smolensk, and Bryansk.

    After recapturing those territories, Soviet units are lined up during NCM for future attacks.

    12 Tank units are placed in Moscow (Russia). The Moscow Industrial Complex has already been converted into an Underground Factory - and upgraded with Heavy Industry 2 Units.

    @the-captain sweet ! This is a great 1st turn report for the Eastern Front. I can see where you retreated and where you concentrated. Excellent :)

    Edit
    What is the unit in S France ? It looks kinda like an aaGun but the ones in W Ger look different. Also the Bmbr in Yugo looks different as well. I assume the small planes in w Ger are Ftrs and the larger one a Tac ?

    Edit 2
    Oh the Yugo is a Air Transport ?

    Though there was no air transports. Paratroopers just moved. Unless there their for non combat flights ?


  • Never mind. See AT in non only now. Don’t know why it’s not doing combat to. Oh well

  • '22 '21 '20 '19 '18 '17 '16 '15 '14 '13 Customizer

    So if I have 2 inf in one of the 4 territories for Atlantic wall I can build 1 AW and 1 fort. Then 2 inf defend +1 and the AW gun gets a defense roll of 3 ? Cost would be 1 icp each.

    Better of getting the AW piece. 2
    Inf defend +1 and 2 AW units defend @3 each.

    So the only difference with a AC fig can move 4 and land on ground. But a naval AC plane can only move 3 and can’t land on ground ?


  • I’m thinking about putting in the island values on map instead of using tokens. Also starting A and N bases. Do this on BBR map.


  • @the-captain

    Cool!


  • @general-6-stars

    I am so confused, what does “AW” and “AC” mean? Thank you!


  • AW = Atlantic Wall
    AC = Air Craft Carrier


  • @general-6-stars

    Thank you!


  • @barnee

    In Southern France, Germany has 2 Infantry units, 1 AAA unit (NCM from France).
    The Minor Industrial Complex and the Naval Base are both intact.

    During NCM, 1 Air Transport unit moved from Libya to Yugoslavia with 1 Panzer General.
    And the Air Transport unit in Yugoslavia moved to Rostov with 1 Infantry unit.

    Waffen-SS Paratrooper units and regular Paratrooper units moved on their own during NCM.
