Mark:
Finally getting around to posting pics of the big game John hosted in October!  We had 9+ players gather for a big WW game that we played over 3.5 days.  The pic below shows all of the players - going counter-clockwise from the bottom left, we had Jeff and James as the Allies in the Pacific, George as the West Front Axis, Dave and John as the Western Allies, Ron as the Soviets, Craig and Mike as the Japanese and then me (taking the picture) as the East Front Axis. . . . Always fun when you have this many people involved in a single big game!

Mark:
The game started pretty well for the Axis.  The chits fell in the Autumn of 1939 in a way that enabled the Germans to conduct a surprise assault on the Ardennes very early and drive the Belgian army back into Flanders.  The Japanese took and consolidated ground in China.
In the Winter, the Germans invaded Holland and took the rest of Belgium and were poised for a lightning strike into France in the Spring.

Mark:
In the Spring of 1940, the Italians invaded Crete and took Northern Greece.  The Allies defended Paris too well for a lightning strike right for the capitol, but contented themselves with taking most of Eastern France and cutting the Maginot Line out of supply.  The plan will be to mop up France in the Summer.  The Japanese continued to push the Chinese back into the hinterlands of mainland China, suffering only light casualties.

Darkman:
Great shots ! I don't see an japanesse ground Unit occupy Hainan. Shouldn't there spawn a communist ? :-)?

Mark:
Yes - should be a communist there - good catch
