@Panzerstahl-Helm Perhaps you?

Jeez, this looks just gorgeous! Amazing! Terrific! Brilliant! This is just a masterpiece, I can’t wait to learn the rules and play it!

The TripleA G40 Expansion module now has The Captain represented on the map 😁

Thank you so much Captain and all the assisting players for this awesome game!

I’m just a waste of oxygen at this point lol.

Heh heh but you are using your oxygen to keep improving the awesome TripleA module of the greatest A&A game ever, plus you are a very fun opponent to play against. Please, be more appreciative of your existence! You very much deserve the oxygen! Without you, this all wouldn’t even have been possible! 😁

Congrats on your victory by the way :)

Hi all,

The existing TripleA module for Europe doesn’t take care of all rules, such as the Middle East or Strategic Bombing Raids. That’s why I made some improvements to this module to enhance the gaming experience.

The module is available for download directly via TripleA. Click on “Download Maps” and look for the map called “Europe Improved”.

I was playing a game of Oztea 1941, and from turn 5, the game began to be so interesting I started making pictures of it. Let me know your thoughts and comments about the variant in general and specific strategies you thing they should be done in this game. I played with Low Luck, and the house rule that when a capital gets captured more than 2 times, the subsequent time the player pays his IPC’s to the bank, instead of to the conquering player.
I did use an outdated setup though, with an added naval base in both Kwangtung in Malaya.

Hehe not sure what this thread is about but yeah, containing Japan can be done. Just keep the Russian units on the Manchurian border as a threat. Use the American fleet to make threats where Japan is weak (i.e. the South Pacific or the North Pacific). Use British fighters to support Russia and India. You don’t have to take any aggressive actions. Just putting your troops where they can pose threats forces them to defend, slowing down their expansion, and if they don’t defend that’s when you strike.

Attacking early as Russia is possible but quite risky. Pressure and attacks from all sides are necessary. However, usually it’s Germany in these scenarios who will become super strong and take Moscow. You can contain Japan however it’s much harder to defeat it. You need to wait for them to make a mistake. It’s often easier to defeat Germany.

However, I must say that it has been a very long time since I last played OOB G40, so you have to take my thoughts with a grain of salt.

@the-captain Wow, just read it. Amazing game report. Maybe you can play as the Axis one time to make @SuperbattleshipYamato happy as you’ll probably defeat any opponent as the developer :)

I started a new game of the House Rule Expansion with all five sections. I did start a game earlier but another game I bought arrived in the middle of the game, so I cleaned it all up and played the other game. Now, I have enough of that other game so I decided to actually play a full game of your great expansion. It’s currently Late 1941, and things are interesting as usual… I followed the strategy guides for Germany, Soviet Union, Japan and United States for this game.

Germany did their opening moves. They took over all of France and Yugoslavia. Finland and Bulgaria joined the Axis. The fleet in sz 111 was destroyed. Near Canada, three U-boots attacked the British destroyer and transport. The destroyer got a hit, so the Germans will not be able to form a wolf-pack if a counterattack happens.

They slowly built up their forces for an Early 1941 Barbarossa campaign. The first Panzer army was created, as well as two Waffen armies, and large stacks of infantry. The initial advance towards Leningrad was successful, and the stack of Russians that took flexible positions in Belarus retreated to Archangel, leaving Leningrad open for the taking. In the south, things didn’t go according to the German plan… a lot of trading took place.

The German force in Bessarabia was attacked with everything the Russians had, and everything but five German tanks got destroyed. The Russians could go on, but they were afraid of an outflanking in Western Ukraine with the German armies in the north. So they retread towards Ukraine and stacked it up with everything it had. The British lend-leased two aircraft to the Russians and flew them to Ukraine, to beef up the defence even more. But the Germans did a risky but bold move. They attacked the Russian forces in Ukraine with everything it had. The five surviving German tanks, a Waffen army in Romania, and all their airpower. The fighting was very exciting, and the Germans managed to destroy the Russian forces (including a Russian army corps and ALL their aircraft) but took heavy losses too. Only one tank and two German planes survived. The Russians regrouped, counterattacked some areas and formed a massive stack in Archangel to counter the German one in Leningrad. The south didn’t have large reinforcements (just a Soviet Army Corps with three guards and a couple of infantry), and with German reinforcements in Poland on their way this may look bad, but next turn the Red Army Conscription will reinforce this area significantly.

The Japanese situation looks pretty bad. A large Japanese army got destroyed by a large Chinese army way deep in china. More Japanese large forces are in Yunnan, keeping the Indians honest but now this army needs to move towards the Chinese in Tsinghai, in order to have a chance to defeat China. The Americans reinforced the Philippines significantly, and the Japanese attack in round 4 didn’t go well. Five American fighters managed to survive and regrouped to the main fleet. The USA, seeing the Japanese struggling with everybody continued to build up naval forces in the Pacific, with a super heavy battleship, destroyers, and carriers.

The situation in Africa is in favour of the Allies. The Italians weren’t able to bring up reinforcements, because their primary goal was to destroy all Allied ships in the Med. After a successful British Taranto raid, the Italians weren’t able to do both. The UK, seeing this, built a factory in Egypt, to build tank units to help in Africa, and aircraft to be lent-leased to Russia.

I can’t wait to see how these events will play out. Japan quickly needs to regroup and take the Philippines, as well as the Dutch East Indies. Italy probably needs to withdraw from Africa, but they can gamble and reinforce it as much as possible, with German aid, and maybe having a chance to dislodge the British from Egypt. On the Eastern Front, the fighting is really exciting and interesting. Both sides have good chances of winning, but German reinforcements are just a bit out of time. And with the Red Army Conscription, lend-lease units (the British can now send three new aircraft as they were destroyed before they were converted into Soviet units), Soviet Guards and eventually Soviet Mass Tank Production, the Soviets have a slight edge. Both sides have a decimated airforce but the Soviets have the lend-lease units.

@barnee

I am such a big fan of this new map! China finally doesn’t look stupid anymore (in the previous map its shape was super distorted).

Just looking at the map makes me want to play!

I went ahead and cleaned up my table, containing the 1943 setup of the House Rule Expansion.

It was just lying there, untouched for months. I found it a bit too overwhelming. The turns took a bit too long and I didn’t want to randomly just do something.

So I cleaned it up and lied down the 1940 setup instead. I am much more familiar with this one.

And now, I am eager for making a full game report of this game, posting per round, and with a lot of pictures.

So I will go ahead and post the situation of the Game Start. Round 1 will follow soon.

@The_Good_Captain You’re right! Sorry for the delay, I am very busy this week and also the next one but I hope to have my turn ready in the course of next week!

Hehe I know that line as I’ve already watched the entire interview a couple of months ago. Two times to be exact!

You know what just for good practice I’m gonna watch it again 😁

You are right, 8 infantry is not realistic at all. I should have bought a battleship! 😖

@elche Thanks for the awesome game. It was exciting until the end. It was a real challenge to play against a bid of 15. Hope to play you again in the future.

I’d love to play WaW but at the moment I’m super busy, I will likely play extremely slowly. If you are OK to wait a few weeks that would be great.
