You can take Russia if you want, might be a little bit more exciting than Italy.  Looking forward to an epic game.

Sounds good

I’ll take America and China (ANZAC ?), all thought it doesn’t really matter to me.  Just who ever is w/ America I guess.

The Sgt. and I can take Allies, Bruce and Anchovy take Axis.  Everyone good with that?

No guarantees it will work for Noll.  If it works for him and we are only a turn in I would be ok with starting a new game.  Otherwise I say lets start.

Yeah I’m in.  Looking to try tech, no tokens.  If you want to play feel free to start a game and I’ll meet you there.

Still looking for Axis player, anyone?

I had the same problem at first.  It took me a couple of tries to figure it out but try following this thread for advice on how to upload the correct module.

Good Luck

NP! Just go easy on me, it’s my first time as the allies in this vers.  I have a feeling that .2 has given the axis a real fighting chance.

I am new to the Forum format myself, but I’m sure we can figure it out.  If you want to play feel free to start a thread with a G1.  I will meet you there.

Would also be open to a multiple player game if enough people want in.

Looking for Axis player in a Alpha.2 game. + tech + NO. Have map available.

I’ll play.  This would be my first game via forum so you may have to be patient with me, and be ready to answer a few questions haha.  I do have the new alpha rule set and func’s map, so I am ready.

It didn’t matter.  The war in the Eastern front was all but over for Germany after the winter of 41’.  Very few winter uniforms were issued to German soldiers because the High Command believed they would be drinking vodka in the Kremlin by the end of the year.  One story recalls West of Moscow in mid-December that the frozen legs of 73 dead Russian soldiers were sawed off below the knee and put in ovens, to warm the boot off the foot so they could be taken off and given to 73 German soldiers.  The German men and equipment were not ready for the shock of the winter.

You have to remember that this was an all or nothing more for Hitler, (Directive no. 21) and If he could not capture Moscow and only Moscow before 42’ the war was over.  Subsequently, Hitler ended up being his own demise after continuing to contradict himself over his goals (Should I stay and siege Leningrad, should I capture Kiev, a should I move the South army north and pincer Moscow?) Now I understand the idea of capturing the oil fields in the Caucasus, but the heart, communications, and command of Russia ran from Moscow.  Why cut off a hand, when you can cut off the head?  Basically if you capture Moscow you could walk down to the oil fields with little resistance.  Also, by the end of 41’ the Allies had fully committed themselves to helping Russia.  America and the UK thought Russia was doomed, but after seeing the resistance the Russians put up, it would soon be a 3 v 1 battle.

I suppose if this Campaign has taken place in Midwest America, where there was little chance of a Russian winter then I have no doubt believing that Germany would have had time to capture Moscow.
