and after that . . .I will be coming for you Yoper!  I have yet to invade the U.S. in this game. . .

I highly doubt that you will be able to get past Eric (UK) to even have a good look at me. ::)

But if you want to get yourself distracted by my feeble jabs, then more power to ya'. :P ;D

I really don't think INVASION USA will occur. That's stretching the Japanese a bit but will concede Hawaii could be lost with a bad series of die rolls by the American player. As for Germany doing the invasion? KEEP DREAMING BABY!!!

Actually - My longest losing streak is 5 games. Can anyone beat that?  ;)

Heck, in the Hartford group, last year alone I had five straight losses playing against whatever side Todd was on. And if my memory serves me, Todd and I played on the same side after that streak of five and we lost that one too, making it at least six in a row for me.  Sigh.  :'(

Well, I am still recovering from our knock-down, dragged-out, marathon slugfest here in Detroit over the weekend.

We played from 5 pm on Friday until past 1 am Saturday morning and then played from 10 am Saturday until around 2 am Sunday morning.

That's 24 hours of gaming fun! :o

I have a few pictures that prove that Mark and John actually showed up. 

Mark ended up taking the game pictures so you will have to wait for him to post them.  I will also allow him to detail what transpired in the game. 

Craig

Picture #1- Axis on the left and Allies on the right.

Starting on the left and going clockwise: 
John (Italy/Japan)
Mark (Germany)
Martin (France/Assorted Minors)
Eric (UK)
Dan (USSR)

Picture #2- Axis Brain Trust:

John (left) and Mark (right).

First of all. Very good game! Great playing by the Detroit Allies. Well worth the trip out there (I knew it would be).

I will let Mark chronicle the results of this epic confrontation.  8)

(Once he recovers from the trip)  ;)

Stay tuned.

Wow - a long trip and a long marathon game - I think a 24 hour game is a new record for us - but it was worth it - had a blast and it was great meeting Craig, Dan, Eric and Martin - a very fun and experienced group of gamers  -  can't wait 'til Origins - you guys better set a couple days aside for the rematch.

Needless to say, the game was an overwhelming Axis victory. . . ::)  I will post the pictures once I have finished doctoring them up a bit more. . . ;D

OK - I have finally recovered and am attending regular therapy sessions to get through the results of the game. . .

I am probably going to have to format and post these pics in stages - so feel free to comment in-between posts!

Here is the first pic:  The Allies - also known as the enemy - AKA: Martin, Eric, Craig and Dan - alson known as Petan, Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin. . .

The game opens up with a German assault on Poland and Denmark and some Japanese attacks in China. . .

The Allies blunt the German u-boat offensive early by sinking both u-boat units and reinforce France.  The Chinese Nationalist counter-attack the Japanese.

In the Winter, the Germans take Holland and Belgium.  The Soviet's clean-up the Baltic States and win the Winter War in Finland. . .The Western Allies continue to reinforce France.

Spring 1940:  The Germans successfully attack Picardy and Blitz into Paris.  The French ask for an armistice and the remnants of the BEF retreat into Normandy.  The Japanese continue to build up in China and the British re-deploy their navy and the BEF to Gibraltar.  At this stage, the Axis are feeling pretty good: knocking France out with only minimum casualties can go a long way. . .the only negative effect the Germans have suffered is losing the u-boat fleet on the first turn - but that will soon be remedied. . .
