2010 Advanced Game Playtest

[John D.]

I should be! You've seen what they could do first hand!

[John D.]

OK - We're back! We managed to get in 2 turns. We are playtesting the Summer double mech phase. It was great. The German punch into Russia destroyed an incredible amount of the Russian army but long overstretched it's lines. Essentially - it seemed to work perfectly - check it out! We ended on the Autumn 1941 turn.

BTW - the stuff in Spain is what is being railed by the Axis. No invasion there...

Yeah - It looks like Rommel is pulling out... Maybe Graz will stabilize things..

More - Look how deep the Germans penetrated on the first turn!

Thanks for the update, guys!

How are things going in North Africa?  Was the invasion of Crete successful?  How is Brian doing on triggers for the Turks - I see he has Malta too. . .

How about the economic warfare against Britain - I see a lot of u-boats getting built, but it looks like the UK economy is holding up pretty well. . .

Hey Mark,

North Africa is not looking good for us. We started with a large force in africa and then John just kept running more and more tanks in africa. Basically his bark is louder and we have started fleeing the continent. We have left some soldiers behind to die horrible deaths. On the bright side, the armor we saved from africa is being used in russia.

The invasion of Crete has not happened yet. We played a little of the autumn turn since we didn't want to go. We should have good air support and 2 front line troops. We almost triggered turkey twice!

With just subs we did 20 points of econ dmg to the brits and 5 to the commonwealth. Germany has not been bombed at all this game. John has sunk most of his money into a ridiculously large navy so soon he will probably root out and destroy my u-boats

[DeathMachine]

Hey John, can we see the russian build chart too?

Also I don't see italian east africa. I am really concerned about what is going on there.

[John D.]

At ease soldier... No more loss of sleep needed. Italian East Africa is in capable hands. I noticed Joe over built so he will need to deduct about 25 points of builts...

[Mark]

Joe overbuilding for the Russians again. . . now at least we know why Russia is so tough when Joe plays them. . .
