Axis and Allies Game II - Round 7 UK - FINISHED: AXIS WIN

[Junkie]

3rd for specific battles, 1st for end of turn summary.

[Junkie]

I have sent my combat moves, thus beginning Operation I Hope This Works.  The game has begun.

[Junkie]

Who's winning!!

Not me.

[Junkie]

The Soviet High Command regrets to announce that the General in charge of the last battles was accidentally killed while standing in front of a firing squad

[Junkie]

"It is of the utmost importance that we free Norway. That proud people has lived under German oppression long enough. We will also aid our Soviet allies in their struggle against this Realm of Darkness. You, pilots of the British empire and aces in exile, will support our brave soldiers landing on the northern shores. British fire shall reign in the skies and force the foul winged serpents of the Luftwaffe out of Norway. Go with God and the blessing of the King!"

This fired me up.

[Junkie]

Nice turn BK.  So far I believe I am the only one to have an attack fail.  This has turned out to be a real interesting game.

[Junkie]

Hey how come the RAF is cowardly for taking out of single transports, while the German navy recieved no such negative comments when they attacked a defenseless transport in Canadian waters?

[Junkie]

Has been a real good game so far.  I think everyone has been playing very well, but Bacon King's moves as Germany have been great!  Of course, I have concentrated on them more because he is spending so much time kicking my rear.

Here are some moves that really struck out to me:

Most Shocking Move: Germany taking Egypt without a single casualty.  Turned the game for the allies upside down.  At least temporarily, we will see how it pans out.

Most Potential to Adverserly Effect the Other Side for the Entire Game: Japan taking out the British Fleet and sinking the Australian Army.  It puts India in danger, opens up Australia, forces more resources into Africa and away from the European front.  Ballsy move that really paid off.

Costly Mistake: Tied between
(1) Russia leaving its fighters in the Caucusus.  I am really regretting losing my air force. Very dumb on my part.
and (2) Japan leaving its army on transports waiting to be destroyed.  Whatever pressure was put on India before was quickly negated by that move..

[Junkie]

I have a couple of questions that have bothered me ever since I first played the game.

First, is each turn a year or a month?  If it is a year, that would put us in 1945 and thus way behind schedule.

Second, what does each unit represent.  I figure battleships and aircraft carriers are single ships, and fighters and bombers are squadrons (12 to 24 each?).  What about infantry and tanks?  Are they divisions (10,000) or corps (50,000?)?  Just curious as to how much carnage we have created.

[Junkie]

Sending in my non-combat moves now. Not that I have many options (again).  Do your worst Germany!

[Junkie]

Thank god for the US fighter!

[Junkie]

where are we?

[Junkie]

Are we waiting on the US non-combat, because I can't wait to unleash hell.

[Junkie]

I'm sorry! I have been busy with my studies the last week or so and that is the reason for my slow chain of orders. Finally, Gustaf has my noncombat moves now.

No worries.  Give them hell partner.  Nice job on Manchuria.

[Junkie]

Ah, just saw it's my turn. Will post orders in a few hours

I am prepared.  Do your worst.

[Junkie]

Any news?  I really want to see this thing play out.

[Junkie]

Do we win?

[Junkie]

GJ allies. I'd love to play again.

I would as well.

[Junkie]

If we play again, I would be interested in either Japan or UK or Germany.

[Junkie]

If this game goes again, I'd have interest in playing.

Let's fire this thing up.

[Junkie]

Ok, then, let's see. We have a total of 5 people, right?

Junkie
Me
Turin
Bacon King
Tmth

So, the question is basically whether one person should play two countries or whether you all trust me enough to let me take part.

I  would be willing to play two...but I would have no problem if you also took part.  You should have chance for fun.

[Junkie]

The axis seems content in waging Boreskrieg.

Sorry, I sent a question before sending in my noncombat moves.  As soon as I have my answer, I will send them in.

[Junkie]

The suspense is killing me.

[Junkie]

Quit Stalin'...erm...uhh...Stalin.

As you were.

This made me laugh

[Junkie]

slow war
