Baxter (Axis +8 with African placement) defeats Brennan (Allies) in R14. Brennan was kind enough to write a good summary of our game: "A big German/Russian battle in West Russia (Russia’s stacking territory), together with losing Caucasus, was crippling to Russia, which forced Brits to lend reinforcements directly to Archangel/Moscow, which went on for a while, and allies were unable to recover Caucasus. U.S.A. tried to come in through the Mediterranean and chase axis out of there in order to eventually help alleviate the situation surrounding Caucasus, but the Japanese navy curtailed their efforts and U.S. had to withdraw. The Americans spent most of their time battling the Japanese in Africa. The Japanese and Germans putting the squeeze on Russia, the combined British and Russia production just wasn’t enough to save Moscow in the end. Also, the Japanese dominated the Pacific." Thanks to Brennan for a fun game. It was my first in many many years and a great way to get back into the swing of things. GL Brennan for the rest of the tournament!
