Axis 3/41

Now this was a disasterous turn for the Allies.  The Germans declared war on Russia and completely overwhelmed them.  The Russians fought a defensive retreat to save as much of their army as possibly and find more defensible positions and wait for reinforcements.  The Italians and Germans launched a sucessful attack on Cairo.  The Brits rolled terribly and Turkey became active.  Pretty much the worst thing that could have happened at this time.

Axis 4/41


Germans pushes the red army back into the Crimea.  The Soviets are split into too groups with most of their tank formations to the north in Lenningrad.  Hans also counterattacked in Normandy from a small allied invasion in 3/41.  Bad rolling agian made the remaining garrison to small to hold.

Turn markers say Autumn but its really winter :P

Allies 4/41

British Invade South France, Finish off what was left of the Italians in Africa and invade Sicily.  The remaining Italian fleet was finally sunk. Cairo was retaken in 3/41 and the last Afrika Korps are making their last stand in Libya.

Axis 1/42

The Tide starts to turn for the Axis.  They were unable to counterattack the second invasion in france.  In Russia the germans attacked the Red Army at Karkov and had a disasterous result losing over half of their armor.  The Russians took heavy casulities though.  The unsecussfully counterattacked the Russian invasion of Istanbul.  Germans are getting a bit light on troops in Russia as well.

Axis 1/42  Allies 1/42

More bad news the Japs were defeated in Burma pretty much eliminating most of their available soldiers in the area.  They still have a massive fleet that is keeping the allies from launching any major operations.

The Chinese are continuing to push back the Japanese in China.  The Japanese are spread to thin to do anything about it.  Americans bring in troops to secure their VP islands in the south Pacific.  Moved alot of airpower into the region.

Allies 1/42

Allies bring in massive reinforcements to France.  Axis presence in Africa is eliminated.  I am still trying to keep the Russian army in defensive postions while I try to build up enough units to counterattack.

At this point the game is over.  The Axis ended the turn with only 25 VPs.  We played another turn but I did not take pictures.  Hans still had a sizable army in Russia so we wanted to see if anything could be salvaged for them.  He played very aggressive but he was soundly defeated in Crimea with all his infantry and most of his tanks being destroyed.  At this point it was obvious that continuing any more would be useless.

While I think we both made alot of mistakes I think we both have a better understanding of the kinds of forces that are going to be needed to accomplish certain goals.

Wow,  looking forward to see, if it was a smart decision to not attack the American Fleet at Pearl, but to immediatly invade the East Indies...  The US can bring it's Battleships right into action against Japan now, for it seems..

 ;D I never saw the third page of pictures before I made my post..  Well it seems it was not wise.. Further this also "proves" that triggering Turkey doesn't mean collapse for the Alies either!! The allied player played super in '42 for it seems.
