• I think I have a new one to add…

    Remember that time when I had almost kicked Japan completely off the continent AND had destroyed all of their transports by the end of Turn 2, and then at the end of the game Japan was up to over $90 IPC and was preparing to liberate Berlin AND take London?

    Darn shame that happened TO me instead of being done BY me  :oops:

    its a shame you didnt post the BM files, so the rest of us could follow that crazy game.
    :(


  • I played one game back in about 1999 at the old game zone at MSN and i was germany and  had this German battleship that could never be defeated. It survived against long odds against a huge American fleet and that stripped it of its escorts ( it started with 2 hit BB, 2 subs). It then sailed alone against the British fleet and took it out. The UK player missed every time ( he had 4 transports,1 bb, Russian sub). It was ridiculous!  then the US player built some subs and tyranny’s and It mauled that fleet as well. It got a hit from that battle so i decided to retreat.

    The allies quit on that note…they were on the ropes anyway but that sealed the deal. It was the game breaker battleship.

    Against Sankt, some time back i sent 3 bombers after Russia, trying to smash their income.

    2 to russia, 1 to cauccasus….

    All was shoot down, no IPC´s bombed…  Then it went downhill…


  • 4 Japanese transports against a single UK sub on the second round of the game.  The sub took all four out with four two’s in a row.  This was also a Low luck game.  I ended up winning it anyway.

    I was on this ski trip when my car broke down and these 4 girls in a VW Beetle pulled up…

    I lost London on G2 once, (and only once) but I had left just enough troops in to cost him the loss of all his aircraft and all but one tank. I retook it with the US on USA turn 2. Without his planes, he was unable to retake it on G3. I went on to win the game. :-D
        He lost so much in troop costs that even my losses and my captured income didn’t make up for it. Oh, and he lost a sub getting through my Russian sub defending the English channel as well.
    Best laid trap I ever set_! Right_. :-P

  • I have to go with my first game of Axis and Allies, playing Britain, Germany sent 1 submarine, 4 fighters against the British Battleship in sz 13.  Sub hits first round, fighters roll 6s, battleship hits.  The next five rounds the fighters all roll either 5 or 6s and the battleship hits every round except the fourth round.  :evil:

    Too bad that we surrendered the game later, even though we had the economical advantage…  Silly risk players leaving men in Moscow when they control Western Russia, Archangel, and Caucasus.


  • Hi, I’m new to the boards, but I have a funny bad roll story.

    I was playing with Banzai Soldiers and Super Dreadnoughts as Japan. I attacked a British Sub with a BB, a DD and an AC. I attacked India with 4 Infantry, 4 Arm, 2 Ftr, and 1 Bomber versus their 6 Infantry, 2 Arm, 1 Bomber, and 4 Ftr.

    When I attacked the sea zone, the AC and the DD missed and I rolled a 6 on the BB, then the sub got a hit. I tilted the BB. The AC and the DD missed again and my BB got another 6. The sub rolled a 2 and I lost my DD. So I retreated.

    In India, my infantry got one hit, but when I rolled for the tanks and the fighters, I got 6 straight 6s. At least the bomber hit. I retreated after the first round with four casualties.


  • Remember when… Germany fell to Russian troops in a supreme 1-2-3 Allied effort. Just after that, Japan took Moscow, capturing the income of German territories too. As Allies had insufficient troops to retake Moscow and HOLD it, Moscow became a sort of Japanese no man’s land, because if Japan retook Moscow they would retake all German income again…
