UK made a critical mistake by not scrambling air craft on the German naval attacks or flying into the Mediterranean to take care of the Italian fleet. I think it gave me naval dominance early and it caused the UK to focus on Africa for several rounds and also they did a large defensive purchase for London.Įxhibit 1 Game Purchases By Round Units Purchased I did change my round 1 purchase to the carrier and 2 transports, and I am glad I did. I also strafed Yugoslavia and setup in Romania for round 2. Round 1, my pre-war plan went pretty much as described for Germany. I wanted to keep going to see the outcome, but the 1940 Global game is not a one day affair, especially for all relatively new players to this version that had to learn new rules, political situations, and new tactics. Many of the players were ready to throw the towel in for the day. We played for a solid 9 hours and we made it through 8 rounds of play. Overall, the Allies won the Pacific, and the Axis dominated the European map. I think there were a few key battles that I should have provided input to my Japanese teammate that may have swung the war. I regret not giving some focus or guidance in the Pacific. So there will not be much detail about what happened on that end of the map. My entire focus was on the European theater, and I did not get much time to discuss the Japanese strategy with my teammate or help in critical decisions in the Pacific.
We found a 7 th player to fill the spot, which means I will not go into Italian strategy in this post or series, but I will describe what happened overall in the European theater. So the game finally happened, and I played as Germany, but not as Italy.
