4 person game

[MarcelJV]

Excellent, who has the turn?[:)]

[batou]

Did I not send the turn off to you last night Marcel? I am pretty sure I did, but maybe I sent it to someone in another game [:'(]

[MarcelJV]

Got the Turn and Sent it to Jag.

Looks like the Soviet Squeze is going to happen next turn, FA 42. The Japanese are poised to attack out of Sinkang and the Germans from the West, with what looks like a 5 para unit drop headed for some where along the Black Sea.[:(] Not sure where and there is little I can do about it as I am not able to move my units. This will be a tough turn for me. Lets see if I do a better job with the Soviets then I did with the Chinese.

Interestingly the German tanks are 9 evasion and 9 attack vs my 9 evasion,8 attack. We have about the same numbers but I am sure to lose the ones on the front lines this turn so I may be down in total number of tanks. We each have about 20 on the board. Lets hope the US will be able to do something quickly, like invade Europe.[:D]

Not in time to save urr butt [;)]

[Dragol]

Jag, do you have the move?

[MarcelJV]

Jag sent me a reply this morning so I belive he did the turn, although it was not stated in the email that he did. I take it you did not get it?

[batou]

I got the turn today and will send it off tonight...

Turn Su 42 sent to Marcel.

[Dragol]

Next turn should be interesting.

[MarcelJV]

Sent the turn off yesterday to Jag.

What a bunch of cowards those Axis are.[:-] Looking to hit the Western Allies extra hard next turn. I see the Japanese have moved their troops to South China to take India in late 42 into 43. [:@] If this is a trick to make me think they are not coming after the Soviets it did not work, mostly because I can not move anything anyway. We are ready for the war if it does come.[:D]

Look out Jag here come the Japanese.

[Dragol]

Again with the cowards accusations. Get Ready Russia, Barbarossa is upon you.
(When I get the move from Jag, that is.)

[batou]

Yeah, com'on Jag, I finally want to get to the turn when the war actually starts for Japan [:)]

[batou]

Turn sent to SU.

[MarcelJV]

Got the turn and will do it tonight. About time I got into some action. Look out you axis dogs, here I come.[;)]

[MarcelJV]

Well I am at least full of dangerous talk. The Germans pulled a good one and took the caucuses on the first move then abandoned it to me.[:@] This took out six valuable resources. Other than that there was a take over of Kiev and the Baltic states as well as Eastern Poland. I have regrouped and am ready to take out any future thrusts by the germans.

I did take Finland just to make sure they do not interfer and I needed the resource.[:D]

[jagular]

Turn sent on

Dragol: every now and then your mail bounces (no delivery after 24 hours) this is the reason why sometimes it takes a while before the turns arrives.

BTW. The US is ready to enter the war, so Japan: go ahead and take those Islands.

[batou]

Don't worry your pretty little head about it, jag. Japan will soon send your Pacific fleet to the bottom of the ocean [:D]

[Dragol]

Lots of mighty big talk there fellas. We'll see who's still boasting in a few turns.
I see you have lots of tanks on your Western Front Marcel. I hope their intentions are honorable. They ARE merely conducting routine training excersises, right?
I'll send the turn on tonight.

[MarcelJV]

Yes we russians are not here to hurt anyone, just routine exercise.[:D]

So for those watching at home The Fall 42 turn finally saw the German attack on the holy mother land.[:@] His attack was well thought out and the results looked like this. This is the shot just after my turn so I have taken the caucuses back.

[MarcelJV]

Here is what the Germans did in Winter 43.

[MarcelJV]

The Soviet army went on a march. I pushed next to East Poland for free via Bellorussia (sp?) and found but one unit in East Poland, say it aint so.[:)] Next we pushed into Odessa and found 17 air and ground units in Romania, well no go here. 10 Armour took up residence in Kiev so I was worried about attacking them.[:(] Well with 2 units in the Baltic states, we decided to take a big chance and see if we could bag us some German armour. An air strike on Poland was all for naught, so I sent in a armour and took it out.. Next was a push into the Baltic States and took that too.
Now the big test 10 units (4 armour, 6 infantry) in Bellorussia to take out. In go 9 tanks and all my militia from Leningrad.. Result was great success for me. No surviviors, so we took 4 armour to take out the troops south of leningrad. And then some armour and artillery to take out the last tanks.. Total kills were 8 tanks and 4 infantry, with some more hurt.

Thanks for the fun winter turn.. Send those 10 tanks you have left in the Soviet Union to some nice place where we can have target practice with them too.

Here is the end result.
