London has fallen.

Thanks Umeu it's been an epic game already. It's now April 1941 and the Axis still cling on to London although the Allies will probably retake it next turn. The Axis is generally scrambling to prep for Barbarossa and Pearl Harbor. The clock is ticking because USSR and USA ...

ELO result:

Firsteds (Axis) defeats Harris45 (Allies) 1943

Russian morale collapsed quite suddenly. Pretty steady game elsewhere with China digging in and Allies grabbing a foothold in Europe. Axis tried rockets and lots of tech, but not convinced it had much impact. Good turn rate and comms as ...

New ELO game started:

Firsteds (Axis) v Umeu (Allies). Usual rules. Let's go!

If there are Allied amphibs near Italy it can trigger the spawning of a couple of weak Italian units. Usually a garrison and an AA unit. If the Axis have already built two Italian AA units then the total will be three. I think this is the most likely explanation. Could be wrong.

Games taken now. Thanks.

Troops,

I am looking for an ELO game, either side, any level. Usual ELO house rules, but also happy with any modifications you might suggest. I am in the UK time zone and play reasonably fast. Please PM me.

petedalby (Allies) defeats firsteds (Axis)

Axis resign mid 1943 with Russia in a very strong position. Bit of an experimental game resulting in a strong Japan and a very weak Germany for the Axis. Fun game with stacks of action. Big naval battles and killer para drops. Finland went ...

ELO result:

Firsteds (Allies) defeats Aquavita (Axis)

Axis struggled in China and the Pacific. Russian winter was cruel. Another fun game with aquavita - thanks!

New ELO game: wevilc allies v Old_Shane axis


This game resulted in a stalemate, all fully covered in my AAR. For those who are unaware, there is a conflict between the victory conditions in the strategy guide & the game scripts. By gentleman's agreement the result is as stated.


OK I have ...

ELO result:

firsteds (Axis) defeats Harris45 (allies)

Interesting game. Axis reached Perm at the end of 43 or maybe the beginning of 44. Game began with Sealion (again!) but did not produce the normal results. Spain stayed neutral and Turkey leaned towards the Allies. Britain stayed strong in ME ...

Interesting historical note - the Soviets were preparing an uprising in Yugo to counter the Axis but the British organised their uprising first.

(Actually I thought this post was still showing near the top when I looked earlier today, as I was thinking of a reply.)

Some players, myself included, allow the coup to happen so that the Axis doesn't have to declare war. Yugo is easy enough to beat one turn later. USSR gets a mobilisation bump if ...
