Antholin vs. Stalingradski Game One
-
Well, you can’t blame them on the French air shows and all you can eat baguettes. But, that will all be mine. I promised my Panzer commanders and modern Shogun warriors the baguettes, and I believe that is the only reason they’re fighting anymore. Who knows, such fickle bastards.
-
Well, there are warehouses full of them… damn… but they don’t go well with Schnapps.
For Japan, I see 13 + 5 NO - 4 CO = 14 IPCs.
Nice bid for Australia - I’ll have to scramble to hold onto it - or to take it back…
US purchases 3 Transports, 2 Subs, 6 Infantry, 2 Destroyers, 3 Mech, Armor, Fighter = 95 IPCs. Arsenal of Democracy!
Combat
Take Denmark, Holland, Libya.
Denmark controls the North - nothing can pass through it without owning it at the beginning of your turn. I just learned this in one of my recent games against Steve.

For Denmark, just confirming that not even Subs can pass through?
-
Right - the only straits/canal that subs can move through without owning both sides is Gibraltar. I learned it the hard way vs. Steve… but eventually forced my way out and built an airbase in Denmark… :evil:
US collects 76 + 25 NO = 101 IPCs.

The German tankers were more experienced! They killed me twice before I got my sights on 'em! 88s on tank chassis are killers. We’ll be back again…

Ok, to bed with me! Work tomorrow - this was a good night of gaming.

Indeed it was sir, well played.

By the way - Italy collected 17 - 3 NO = 14 IPCs. Noted on map.
Germany is up! Turn 9… is this it for Moscow?
-
Good move on Novgorod. I did not see that coming. Herman Goering will be burned at the stake for this outrage.
-
A trade off… I lose 2 4’s on defense just as you lost 2 on offense. A move I might only make with an economic advantage.
And Goering should be replaced anyhow! He’s devouring the entire Reich!
