Victory in bed right now
Heh heh I was in bed indeed :face_with_tears_of_joy:

@Trout Here's a pic of the G5 edit save file I've sent you to illustrate what I mean.
You can see I've put the five tanks and the panzer general from both armies in the territories of Baltic State/Belarus, along with the army token to clearly show there is a panzer army in both territories. I've also replaced the panzer general with a panzer_general3 unit, which you can tell by the red dot. Blue dot would mean the normal panzer general unit.
Now let's say I want to attack you in Belarus this turn as the Russians, all I need to do is remove your army token, replace one of my commissars, which are "blank" at the moment, with the correct equivalent (in this case it would be Commissar3, which gives extra dice rolls to itself and a tank) and just move in. If both of our armies were in the boxes, I would have to first move them out of the boxes and move the tokens back to the boxes, which is a lot more work.

@Trout I forgot to say the UK fighters are Lend-Lease, normally you would have to say that after the UK turn but I didn't think about it
The Russian bear has declared war on Japan so the Japanese will get 6 IPCs worth of units to place in any territory they control. You can do that right now, then I will proceed with the Russian turn. This is the end of the Russian combat movement phase.

@victoryfirst Hi VF. I don't know how to do that but I will place two infantry in Shensi. Thanks
-
Hi Trout
Victory can place them, as it's still his turn. They will be added via edit. Same for extra PUs if you didn't place anyone.
Triplea will charge for breaking the pact, which is after Purchase, so you gotta save enough dough to do it, but it can't do the " give stuff to the other player part "

Here is a save with the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Army Corps activated
: R5 edit.tsvg -
Couple of NCM edits, I also added the army tokens for the Army Corps. Make sure when attacking any of these army corps that you remove the token before you move in, otherwise it will participate in combat and that's annoying.
-
Yes annoying but if you forget just ignore them and don't take as casualties
Unless you win.
Then kill them

@victoryfirst Hey VF. Had three brain farts. One in not dealing with the turning commissar into its components before the battle started, second not realizing that if it rolls to the US turn, then at that point you cannot view the turn report, and third something happened to where I did not save it correctly. So just know that I decided to just throw everything into the big battle and see what happened even though dice not in my favor. Essentially did a Battle of the Bulge decision where the chances of ultimate victory were greater than 0% but not by much. But desperate times call for desperate messages. I diced you a bit on the Philippines battle but not in the big one. So you won without even needing it anyway. I only had those two battles. So I concede/surrender at this point and am up for another game at some point but not until I analyze a bit what you did just as the French needed time to understand exactly how they got blitzed. Congratulations on completely spanking my hiney this time!!
-
@Trout, Hi, thanks for letting me know. I think this game was far from being over. I like to try something new each game and this time I tried to save China which I normally don't do. In this case, I think you should have stopped building naval units as Germany turn 2 or 3 when it became clear that the Soviet army in the Far East just stayed there, and just focussed fully on Russia and play defense with Japan. The attack in Kansu was actually in your favor at around 63% so I was actually a bit scared you might try, get lucky and destroy all my units. That would be very bad, in that case I don't think the Russians would be able to stop Germany.
Also, as Germany, I am pretty sure you can just move the complete Wehrmacht adjacent to Moscow and put a lot of pressure on the capital. Stalin at the moment only has infantry and the airforce is chilling in China.
Not saying the Axis are in a winning position, I believe I can attack your fleet in SZ 91 with favorable odds as the Americans, however the game is definitely not over. You are doing better than you think.
My suggestion is that you redo your Japanese turn in the way you like it. No worries about rules or game mistakes. However if you want to start a new game that's OK with me too.
-
@victoryfirst Hi VF. Thanks for that. I agree with you on a lot of what you said. I didn’t check the battle odds but I did throw everything that could reach at it including the Strat Bombers and lost badly. I also do believe you would have won the SZ 91 battle. In any case, my big mistakes were not recognizing the threat to Japan and reacting to it along with the rules issue with boats blocking sea zones from shore bombardment. I had played all my previous board games with that not being the case but that rule is a game changer. So I need to develop new strategies which align with that
-
Hi Trout
While your BB strategy is not as effective as you first thought, it still has some merit. It essentially just takes an extra turn to implement.
Secure the SZ and next turn, bombard it to pieces
-
@beelee True that. But in G40 HRE, one turn delay is a game changer. I am not giving up BB's altogether. But building more destroyers/escorts makes sense and a naval delaying strategy with blockers is more effective than I thought
-
Yea, Ive found escorts to be good blockers. Victory always seems to have a ton of DDs lol
-
Hehe yeah DD is my favorite naval unit
Besides the super heavies of course but you can only have two of those lol. -
@trout Okay, that sounds good to me. You can hit me up anytime, I'm always available for an EXP game :grinning_face:

yea I'm starting to appreciate them with JPN more. I like the potential D3 for Escort and cheaper cost but 3-4 DDs dropping dudes on the Allies can really ruin there day lol
-
Ok ready to take over trout's position. I've followed along a little bit but take a few to get up to speed here.
Hmm ... I guess we need to start a new thing ? my email not in the loop or maybe just can add it ?
Well, I'll leave it up to you while I study up
