GG 4.040 tourney Rd.1 xianing vs greenland

[greenlandj6]

America's silent service is ready to take it to the Japanese.

[greenlandj6]

The Japanese have opened a can of you know what... I'm surprised they even invaded. Perhaps the info they had on USA war wariness wasn't so good?

[xianing]

42 Spring, Germany launched a big battle in Grozny and succeed.
Now we don't need to warry about the fuel for our tanks [:D]
Moscow is the next target.

Japan had some bad roll so no advance.

[greenlandj6]

Hurt some transports.

[greenlandj6]

Have you ever played one of those games where you can't do anything. Well this is one of them. The only thing I have been able to do is retake Lanchow with China.

[xianing]

42 Summer, Germany attacked Moscow and cause bad damage to both side. But next turn Moscow should fall.
With 5 HBs with range 5, all Soviet factories is reachable so not too much chance to Soviet now.

Japan encircled Chinese army while Yumen is taken. Southern Asia is still hold strongly by Japan.

[xianing]

In this situation, my opponent offered the victory to me. I also agree that not too big chance left for Allies. So this game is finished as an Axis Victory.
I will give some comments and hope my opponent will also give the one of him.

The last picture of Europe.
Germany put a big pressure on Moscow and Gorki. Germany has lots of tanks and combined army bonus and Soviet has lots of militias and lower technology so the situation is even worse for Russia than it looks like.

In other side, Germany has a strong defence in France and Netherland, and in Italy and N Africa. Difficult for WA to interfere with.

[xianing]

Unit numbers
Germany Inf+Airbo+Tank+Art=63 units
Soviet only 35 units
In my point of view, the big mistake of Soviet is they didn't produce lots of units in the first couple of turns. They produced too much supplies to steal technologies.
Maybe my opponent can verify this.

[xianing]

Picture of Asia-Pacific.
Japan still has air superity in S Asia so WA is stopped at the moment.

Midway has two fighters to prevent a direct attack from US carriers.

[xianing]

At last, the damage table is showed here.

greenlandj6, can you confirm please?

Can any of you post the score? I wonder how close the Axis came to AV...

[greenlandj6]

Yup he won. He was 10 from auto victory.

[xianing]

Two pictures to show the 42 Fall turn. Something interesting happened.
As WA attacked Portugal, Spain joined the Axis, and WA troops were pushed out of Portugal.
Greece joined Allies in a wrong time, and they will be destroyed next turn.
Moscow is taken with little lose. Ural factories bombed. Soviet production down to 16.

In China, Lanchow is retaken so all chinese infantries destroyed.
