[8D] I think I know where you're trying to head, have suffered your strategy on my own skin [:D]
Wonder what are the research levels for the russians and their WR? Those two factors would be crucial to stop the Axis imho, linked to a flawless strategy [;)].

SGT Rice is among the top [&o][&o]

Axis Fall 42 - Russia

The main event finally begins ... Barbarossa opens with an airborne assault on the Caucasus oilfields and W. Kazakhstan.

Then airstrikes hit the Russian fighters, bombers & rail lines in Kiev & E. Poland. Frontal assaults on the main Soviet positions are successful, although the German panzer spearheads take significant casualties (1 destroyed, 2 damaged). German HBs torch factories in Leningrad & Stalingrad, with damage to Kazan.

Axis Fall 42 - Europe/Africa

While Barbarossa gets underway the German & Italian fleets are also busy with support from Luftwaffe fighters ... the Brits are engaged in all theatres.

[SGT Rice]

Axis Fall 42 - Pacific

Japanese fighters from Midway take out the US CAP over Pearl Harbor (the US fleet has already evac'ed to the West Coast), while a Japanese LS knocks out a lurking US sub. 4 veteran/elite Japanese CAGs engage US CVs arriving from the Atlantic, wiping them out.

A Japanese HB from New Guinea keep the Victoria factory offline for another turn.

Axis Winter 43 - Russia

The Wehrmacht hunkers down for the winter ... reinforcements are shipped/railed into Kiev & the Baltic States to secure the captured territory.

Luftwaffe HB strikes continue to have great success ... 5 Russian factories damaged. Stukas hit the Russian Black Sea Fleet sending them to the repair yards.

The Fallschirmjagers withdraw to Persia in the face of overwhelming Soviet forces.


Limited action in the Atlantic ... an Italian BB sortie damages a WA LS and one trannie damaged by a U-boat.

[SGT Rice]

Axis Winter 43 - Pacific

A high-level picture of the Pacific showing the extent of the Co-Prosperity Sphere ... this turn the Japanese seized Pearl Harbor, New South Wales, Mandalay and several islands.

Axis VPs stand at 81; an AV in Spring 43 seems inevitable at this point.

Well im back... [:)]

Just wanted to thank SGT Rice for an awesome game...he was one step ahead of me the whole time!
And sorry for not posting every turn...its no fun when your getting smashed all across the board [&:]

Anyway an excellent stratergy to start off the first two years of the war had me paralyzed at pretty much every stage and now there is no hope of a recovery, so rather than delay the inevitable ill let SGT Rice take the decisive vicotry...

Good luck with the next few rounds of the tournament...
