We played an ETO-only '39 game.
USSR variable entry, Italian Morale, Spain and Turkey Reluctance, Limited Capacity Airbases, and Paratroopers in the Mech phase.
We also decided to scrap the control of sea zones rules. We are think that it might make things more interesting in the Med that way.
Long story short- I bungled my way through the attack of France such that after five rounds I had finally taken Paris and then had the BEF wipe me out!
My only heavy equipment on the board at that point were two artillery pieces. Eric's French ravaged me and Dan's UK crushed my sub campaign.
I didn't help my cause to find out at the end of the night that Martin hadn't given the Germans any of the artillery that they are supposed to have at the beginning of the game.
That's what you get for being rusty!
We decided to give up this game and will start a new one come next Friday. Will probably go with a Eric's '41 scenario instead.
It is a real pleasure to come back to this game. It is such a good frame work to go forth from.
