It appears you have experienced great joy sinking three Yankee carriers against a veteran player, during your first game of the World Campaign. The Jap Emperor god & the Forum gamers are proud of you.

Now quit gloating, you'd better get those Nazis organized in France & Russia, because Vypuero will bring you down in Europe.

Game 1 Colin Axis

Europe is a nightmare - my guess is its all over by early 1945, Allies are wiping the floor with the Germans. Japan is better, some action on Indian border with another UK army or special forces destroyed (did not notice which). I'm starting to think US threw everything at Europe which might make for an interesting end game.

What went wrong for you in Europe? Vypuero is a good Allied player. I'm sure he loading the farm into France, and gave a stout defense in Russia

Basically his timing was excellent in Russia, surged forwards at just the right moment. Also I made a mistake, got my two German paratroopers out of position during early Barbarossa and did not have them to complete encirclements or kill air/HQ in rear areas as much as usual. Think this made a big difference, should have made earlier victories more decisive. Nupremal's play was excellent here.

There is another aspect to this game - clearly I put a lot of effort into North Africa but do not regret it - Spain came in too so I sealed the Med and trapped quite some British ships there which were slowly eliminated. Do not think this did me much good in Europe but do suspect that it will help Japan keep its naval edge longer - UK does not have many carriers left.

Lastly I put effort into diplomacy - again do not regret it, Spain in was useful at Nationalist Chinese out until 1944 a great help back East. But it distracts from Barbarossa focus. However, for the game to be interesting there have to be viable alternative strategies to hitting Russia with everything even though its tried and tested.

Game 2 Colin Allies

Strange but interesting turn.

Russia - weather gets worse for Germans so Russians consolidate in front of Moscow and kill another armour. Germans need to reinforce or retreat next turn. Nupremal was unlucky here, should have nailed my paratrooper.

Greece - Allies move inland - heading to Balkans - killing a German army. Allied carriers knock down an Italian TAC bomber. Sadly had a bit much to concentrate on so Greek partisans recapture Athens! Have alternative ports but irritating. Strategically though, I think Axis will struggle to balance Russia and Balkan threats.

SE Asia - British advance on land supported by US paratroopers and a Chinese army and chase a Japanese L3 sub off coast.

China - Japan is putting more effort here and is pushing nationalists back.

Colin, I've lost my share of games to Vypuero in North Africa. I also tried a massive charge thru Greece, and lost their too

Keep up the AAR, and good luck.

Game 1 Colin Axis

Europe continues to crumble but Japanese are doing fine - destroying another UK land unit in India.

Game 2 Colin Allies

Russians keep pressure up in front of Moscow though he is now showing L4 armour feel he is stalled in Russia though still bloody for both sides.

Allies move inland from Greece, destroying another German army (despite the snow) and recapturing Athens from those pesky partisans.

US paratroopers spearhead allied move into SE Asia - he has almost no ground units there. Japanese put more pressure on China and unleash L3 subs in Indian ocean.

[Rambo - for me Greece works, I get a few Yugoslavian partisans in his rear, threaten Bulgaria and Belgrade, US has L2 mobility so can operate in mountains which limit his countering potential. Allies have 3 ports so are hard to stop reinforcing - the extra one in Greece (Salonica?) really helps Allies - breaking out of Athens alone always used to be hard]

Game 2 - Colin Allied

Allies destroy 2 Japanese fighter units in SE Asia - US paratroopers are being used a lot to bypass poor terrain, dropping into clear tiles. US invades Port Moresby.

Battle of Moscow continues. He loses 3 corps but does have L4 armour lurking. Roughly even here, other areas in Russia seeing very little change in terrain.

Allies move further inland in the Balkans taking the Yugoslavian/Bulgarian mine (not sure which) and heading up the Adriatic coast. He has a cluster of upgraded Balkan corps in bulgaria and some German backing lurking out of carrier range (but not out of TAC bomber range, some air skirmishing ongoing).
