Post UK Move 2

The photo above shows the large UK fleet in Zone 2, prepared to attack Germany. Two transports loaded with one infantry and one tank a piece, one battleship, one cruiser, two destroyers, and one submarine.


This picture is showing a UK aircraft carrier and destroyer rounding the Cape of Good Hope, looking to make its way north to assist the British navy.


In the above photo a transport picked up one infantry unit from New Guinea and moved south to stay out of range of a Japanese attack.


In Southeast Asia the UK has moved a fighter and infantry unit from India into French-Indo China. The anti-aircraft gun should come in handy for the impending Japanese attack.

German 2 Move Analysis

This photo (above) shows how Germany is able to hold off a United Kingdom attack on Norway. By moving a cruiser into Zone 3 the UK is forced into a sea battle before an amphibious assault can be made.


This picture (above) demonstrates how Germany is holding off a United Kingdom landing in W. Europe and a US landing in Africa. *note author "forgot" that submarines do not block enemy movement. W. Europe is vulnerable to a UK attack.


Above shows how weak Germany has become in Eastern Europe. Germany is hoping to win the IPC war with the Soviet Union. With the aid of Japan, Germany hopes to squeeze the Soviets into submission.


This photo (above) shows the fruits of Africa and Germany's ambition to control the continent

Germany Turn 2

Germany, looking to gain more IPC’s will attack three areas; Ukraine SSR, Karelia SSR, and Anglo-Egypt Sudan. Germany will also look to defend her shores during the non-combat phase. With the aid of Japan, Germany is hoping to squeeze the Soviets of IPC’s.
