    Early 1940 - Early 1941

    Germany
    The Kriegsmarine builds a steady 3 U-boats per turn. They are able to sink the Canadian ships in Early 1940 as well as the Royal Navy in 110 and 111.
    In Late 1940 they begin to Convoy the British Isles, as well as Nova Scotia. The Wehrmacht would take Greece and the Luftwaffe would produce a Air Fleet Commander.
    Early 1941 and 4 Fallschirmjäger Divisions along with 4 LCV’s would concentrate in Romainia. The newly formed 1st Luftflotten would deploy there as well.

    Russia
    The Soviets would produce a fair amount of Landmines, as well as maxing out their Paratrooper production.
    An Engineer would help deploy LMs to W UKR to defend against E POL. Belarus would also arm LMs against E POL.
    Far East Forces would slowly move West and Stalin would order a Commisar to keep an eye on the Red Army.

    Japan
    Nippon would build two Factories in China. They would focus on Armor production.
    A Harbor would be built in Kwangsi and the main IJN Fleet would be stationed there. Carolines and the Home Waters would also have smaller Fleets.
    The IJA would push the Chinese back to their Western Provinces.

    United States
    USA would destroy the Naval Base in Manila and fortify the Army units there. USS Iowa and Missourri would both launch. The Iowa in the Atlantic and the Missourri in the Pacific.
    4 Trprts are off the East Coast, ready for immediate deployment.

    China takes a beating from JPN and has concentrated in Kansu.

    United Kingdom
    Britain sinks a wounded Bismark in 111. Two U-boats are also sunk in 106. The Royal Navy declines to engage the Regia Marina, other than sinking the Italian ships off Malta.
    Churchill orders the creation of 1st UK Tank.
    The Italian forces in Africa are eliminated.

    Italy
    Italy takes a undefended Gibralter as well as Jordan. The British evacuate Egypt in Late 1940 and leave the Australian Infantry on their own. Italy easily conquers Egypt and salutes the Aussie bravery by sharing their wine with them.
    Il Duce cannot contain himself and declares war on the Soviet Union in Early 1941. Both W UKR and UKR fall to him along with Bessarabia.

    ANZAC
    ANZAC takes Custodianship of Java and DNG, as well as upgrading their Factory in New South Wales in Late 1940.
    They primarily concentrate on ground units to defend against any Japanese invasion.

    France they just kinda chill.

    Total Units includes Infrastructure. Looking at specific Player totals will give a good idea of the actual Forces on the map.

    The Production column does not count National Objectives. You still need to add or subtract from that total for any Pacific Island Bonuses.

    Update 4-29-25

    Late 1941 - Late 1942

    Germany
    Late 1941 and the Kriegsmarine continues to launch 3 U-boats per turn. 2nd Luftflotten will also deploy.
    After the Italian attack on the Soviet Union, the Fuhrer will send the Wehrmacht and Waffen Units into E POL in force.
    Fallschirmjagers will take an undefended Rostov and Cauacasus.

    Both small footholds in Caucasus and Rostov would fall to Soviet counterattacks. Russian Engineers would arm 3 LMs each at 100 SZ .
    The Wehrmacht with strong Luftwaffe support would take Caucasus with a large LCV landing. Two of the LCVs would be empty. While they avoided the LMs one would be lost in combat.

    Novgorod is taken. Skirmishers take Belarus with some casualties due to LM’s.
    Army Gruppe Center forms in Belarus. The Kriegsmarine withdraws to 113 SZ except for a Escort to deny any American Bombardment in 112 SZ.
    The Soviets liberate the Caucasus.

    Russia
    Guard Infantry would begin to form in Late 1941. Counterattacks in Rostov and Caucasus would succeed. A light attack against Italian Armor in UKR would fail with both land units being destroyed.

    The Red Army would successfully counterattack all along the Eastern front in Late 1942 with the bulk of their Forces concentrated in Smolensk opposite Army Gruppe Center.
    One of the Minor Fctrys would also move to Smolensk.

    Japan
    Nippon subjugates China in Late 1941. After their heady Victory, Tojo pushes for All out War against the Western Allies. His view prevails.

    Hong Kong, the Philippines and Singapore would fall to the Japanese Blitzkrieg. Borneo and Celebes would also be conquered by the Rising Sun.

    Japan would continue their assault in the South Pacific and take DNG in Late 1942. They would rebuild the destroyed Naval base in Manila.

    United Staes
    The Americans invest heavily in their Navy and launch a successful Operation Torch in Late 1941.
    General Marshall advocates for resources for the Army and in Early 1942 the Americans begin to shift their production to land based units.

    Nimitz orders Halsey to stike Iwo Jima and he is victorious. In the Atlantic GIB is liberated.
    American Seabees build a Harbor on Wake Island and the Pacific Fleet concentrates there.

    China
    They get dusted in Late 1941 lol

    United Kingdom
    Britain conducts a major ASW attack in 109 sinking 2 U-boats and move their Indian Fctry underground in Late 1941.

    Early 1942 and they spend 5 bucks to incorporate the French Units in London into the British Armed Forces.
    Minor combats would take place and they would take Holland with a small amphibous landing.

    Minor combats would continue into Late 1942 and the Naval Base in GIB would be rebuilt. A strong Anglo Fleet would be anchored in 110 SZ.

    Italy
    Italia would construct a Fctry in Cairo in Late 1941. A Paratrooper attack on Morrocco would fail.
    They would move the Egyptian Fctry Underground in Early 1942 and continue to battle the Americans in North Africa as well as the Soviets in Ukraine.

    Rome Fctry moves underground in Late 1942 and land units combined with Air take Iraq from the British.
    Egypt, with German support, is heavily defended and still able to threaten offensive operations.

    ANZAC
    They invest heavily in their Navy with a BB and a DD. No combat takes place in Late 1941.
    The Air Force would see another Ftr Wing deploy in Early 1942 and the Army would Fortify the Islands under their control.
    Late 1942 and the long awaited Aircraft Carrier is launched along with a DD.
    They would finally engage in combat with 3 Ftrs attacking a solo JPN DD off Java. While successful, one of the Ftrs would be lost.

    France
    The French Forces that joined the British Army are eager for combat and payback. A small landing in Holland succeeds and though their survival is unlikely, they are happy to finally hit back at the enemy.

    Edit
    I forgot that UK got two LL DDs in 109. :)

    Update 5-6-25

    Early 1943 - Early 1944

    Germany
    In Early 43 minor combat takes place in Bryansk and Archangel. AG Center moves to Novgorod.
    Late 43 a Waffen Para takes and undefended Urals shutting down Tankograd’s production. A medium size battle takes place in Archangel and AG Center would withdraw to E POL. AG South (I didn’t add the Western Front AG names for triplea) would form in Western Germany.

    Early 44 the Eastern Front would be quiet with AG Center and 1st Soviet AG staring each other down. Valuable units would move from W GER to N Italy to try and prevent any USA canopener through S France to allow Montgomery and 1st UK Tank access to N Italy.

    I believe that was a mistake and W GER should have been on Max Defend. I will explain in detail with pictures down below.

    Russia
    The Soviets would continue to skirmish with the Wehrmacht in Eastern Europe with slightly larger combats taking place in Novgorod.
    Late 1943 would see an uptick in combat as German Fallschirmjager units would need to be rooted out in Caucasus, Rostov and the Urals. A decent sized Italian Force would need to be expelled in Ukraine as well.
    1st AG would move into Belarus in strength.

    Early 1944 Novgorod and Baltic States would be liberated and the situation in Eastern Europe would begin to stabilize.

    Japan
    Nippon would conduct minor naval combat in the Pacific and continue to fight over New Guinea.
    They would have two strong Fleets. One in Home waters and the other off of DNG. A smaller Fleet would be in Manila in an escort role for Land units coming from Japan.

    Large Infantry concentrations in India and Yunnan would stalemate each other with Armor units deployed slightly further inland.

    USA
    Uncle Sam partakes in the above mentioned battles with JPN while conducting minor attacks in N Africa and W Europe.
    They take Normandy in Late 43 in force.

    In the Atlantic they have strong Naval forces in 91 off of GIB and 110 off of London. In the Pacific, Nimitz has Halsey concentrated off of Wake with the Harbor there allowing them to threaten the main IJN Fleet in 6 SZ.

    Screenshot from 2025-05-06 09-42-35.png

    Screenshot from 2025-05-06 09-43-36.png

    It is here that I feel the Allies missed an opportunity. Slamming everything at W GER followed up by the British doing the same would almost surely have been successful. I did not allow for the UK LCVs ( a reason to demo the Normandy Harbor but the London one made me decide not to. A mistake. ) but even if I had and not moved to N Italy, I think the Allies would still win albeit with heavier losses.

    The Soviets say dam the losses and engage E POL or if the Wehrmacht has to fall back they will be threatening Romainia and the Balkans.

    Hard to say for sure as big battles can be dicey and I didn’t test it out but that’s probably what I would have done. I’ll play it out in the future just to see what might have happened :)

    But a quick calculation shows 31 USA hp followed by 27 for UK against 35 for the Reich.

    As we shall soon see though, American High Command chose to gamble in the Pacific instead.

    Update 5-8-25

    UK
    Early 1943 and the British will produce 6 LCVs in London. A solo Paratrooper with strong Air support would fail to take Normandy as the German Inf would acquit itself well, killing the tommie Para. Surprisingly an additional Para in London did not join in the attack.
    India would continue to trade with Burma and the largest battle in Iraq would see the Brits prevail with a single Inf. The Naval Bombardment would prove key as well as heavy Air support.

    Late 43 and they take Holland in a minor attack and the Iraq battle would continue with them once again taking control. In NCM, strong reinforcements would supplement the US landing in Normandy. 1st UK Tank would be among these.

    Early 44 and a minor attack on Burma would fail. Iraq would stay in Italian hands as local British resources have been exhausted.
    Sudan would maintain a powerful force in their standoff with the combined Axis Forces in Egypt.
    The Middle East is now under complete Italian control.

    Italy
    1943 would see Italia invest heavily in their Army. They would continue to pressure the Soviets on the Eastern Front, taking UKR and fight in the above mentioned battles in Iraq against the British.

    Late 43 would see combat continue in the Middle East with Persia falling to a Para attack. Forces withdrawing from N Africa would use their LCV to successfully take Malta.
    Early 44 would see minor trading combats in UKR and S FRA.

    ANZAC
    ANZAC would continue to fortify Java in Early 43. In Early 44 a second CV would deploy. No combats would take place during this period.

    Late 1944

    Germany
    The Reich would invest heavily in Panzers. Total War, King Tigers as well as a Waffen Heavy. A Panzerjager would also join the new Armored Forces.

    Novgorod and Baltic States would fall in minor combats, with both being heavily supported by the Luftwaffe, including 2nd Luftflotten in the Baltic States.
    Type XXI U-boats would begin to strike at the Allied Fleet in 110 and then return to their Subpens.

    AG South in W GER would be heavily reinforced with 1st Luftflotten now stationed there and 6 Total War Panzers along with 6 Inf would also join them.

    Russia
    The Soviets continue the tit for tat in Novgorod and Baltic States and take NW Persia from the Italians.

    Japan
    They make some minor attacks in the Pacific but the main battle occurs in Novosibirsk with heavy Armor and Air units destroying a reinforced Soviet Corps.

    USA
    The Americans make a strong build of 2 CVs with Total War Ftrs supplemented by a large number of Infantry.

    Feeling the war slipping away from them, FDR consults his top advisers. Admiral King advocates for an all out attack on IJN in their Home waters. His view prevails.
    This would prove catastrophic for the US Navy and the entire American war effort.

    Screenshot from 2025-05-08 08-27-21.png

    The American attack would start poorly.

    Screenshot from 2025-05-08 08-29-32.png

    Yamamoto’s Forces would preform to their upmost abilities.

    Screenshot from 2025-05-08 08-31-15.png

    It would not end there.

    Halsey’s aggressive nature left no option for retreat and pressed the attack. His men, horrified by their initial failure, do him proud and strike back hard.

    Screenshot from 2025-05-08 08-33-28.png

    It has the desired effect of slowing the Japanese defense.

    Screenshot from 2025-05-08 08-35-36.png

    The Americans would fire another devastating salvo.

    Screenshot from 2025-05-08 08-37-03.png

    Yamamoto’s response would end any chance of American victory.

    Screenshot from 2025-05-08 08-38-20.png

    The American Transports that had triggered “Home Defense” would be sunk as well and the additional Japanese Infantry would drink sake with their Navy rivals in a rare show of solidarity.

    This crushing defeat leaves FDR no other choice than to sue for peace.

    End Game

    I think the above End of Early 1944 pictures are sufficient for the end game, so won’t post again now. Was another Fun game and @Trout is an excellent opponent and very enjoyable to play against.

    Anyway, another long winded report comes to an end :) Hopefully Trout will comment on his impressions of the game.

    Peace Out

  • @barnee

    Great to see the German Luftwaffe1st Luftflotte ready for engagement on the Eastern Front.

    Does USSR automatically get the 10 IPC when Italy attacks - or do you have to manually EDIT this procedure ?


  • @The-Captain

    It needs to be edited. There is a prompt when they are attacked reminding the Player.

    A couple Ftr Aces and a regular Ftr make for a formidable defense :)

    @The-Captain @Cornelis-Post as you guys were following along earlier, I have finished the Game 3 barnee vs Trout report.

    I bolded and dated when I updated, so hopefully that makes it easier to follow along :)


  • @barnee Thanks for posting our game Barnee. Yes, Barnee played the better game but I am improving in our battle matches. With regards to attacking W. Germany, I believe I could have successfully attacked and won as Barnee describes, but my opinion at the time was that it was not a sustainable offense. I think I would have been pushed out with the inevitable counterattack. The Pacific naval battle did seem to me to be a good decision but alas sometimes bad dice win out. I don’t know if winning that battle would have changed the eventual outcome but it would have resulted in me not waving the white flag at that time. All in all a fun game. Looking forward to the next one.
