Hey guys,
we did a 5-group playtest on the newest map. Sadly we only had a chance to play 4 full turns yet and still decide if we will finish the game or the germans will surrender.
The Axis are down to 26 VP and africa is lost, finnland was overrun by soviets and finnland only oslo is left (Most terrtories are soviet, just 1 is british)
Vichy will be attacked either next turn or the turn after. Maybe it was a mistake of the germans to attack russia in Spring 1941.
Axis will loose if they have less than 24 VP in Spring 1942 (Alternate VP Table).
They are about to loose Oslo, Kirkuk, Algiers & Tunis in the next 2 turns and the eastern front actually doesn't that power to push the soviets back. But we will see.
We had the following house rules.
- Alternate VP Table. (More Historical correct in the end game)
I made it a very little harder for the allies to win early. So the game continues. Especially in 1944-45. Axis Table is untouched.
It just bugs me axis loose if they have the territores they had in reality while the game should continue. They loose if they have less than historical.
- Finnland changes i proposed. (Germany can freely operate in Finnland). Germany didn't invest in troops in Finnland so there was a overrun.
- Germany is able to redeploy 1 unit per turn between Germany - Norway - Finnland through the swedish railways.
- The 4 new leaders are added Hardegen, Heinrici , Chuikov & Guzzoni. (Hardegen died early on a raid, the others are not yet in game because we are now in 1942
- Bastico stays in the game and is later replaced by Guzzoni
- Port Kirkenes is added as a 5 Port in Finmark (Norway)
- Removed the Italian Convoy Zone that is already out of the game to avoid confusion
I made some pictures but not that many. I will upload some of them soon. I was too busy with explaning the game and the rules.
