Totally agree. Your board is a real joy to watch.

Always good to check your math like you did - helps you catch any errors in your purchases!

Is not reserach before building new units (you got new tech enabling new builds right)?

Misspoke on E Ukraine - 9 infantry 1 Jet

I’m interested in any viewers opinions on what they think how the war is going?

There is a mountain border going from Northern Manchuria to Eastern Manchuria, when you go roundel to roundel. However, the cavalry could have moved to Western Manchuria, then come in from that side, so no terrain penalty.

I dont think donets kuban touches the landzone of Stalingrad. So that infantry couldnt move there.

6 infantry in Eastern Ukraine

Ugh why do I keep calling the CCP the Comintern 😢

Does surrounding a city negate fortifications? (I dont have the rule book on hand...) Konigsburg has forts.

Convoy raiding took 2 Rolls are even +2 fleet sub Germany gets +1 Radar +1 LRA. Sorry to help the Axis looks like GW36 missed it.

Keep up the good work on these videos! 3:57 Russian Tech Rolls. I believe the Russians should only have 4 tech rolls at this point (4 major factories), since the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact ended when Russian declared war on Germany, and also Russia lost the "Rapid Industrialization" strategic objective when Germany took two Russian home territories on their turn 9.1.

28:57 There is no rail connection between Southern Belorussia and Lubelskie. Can you clarify what you are scorching here?

2:57 "We declared war on Russia." I know this was just a slip of the tongue, but the Axis readily welcome you joining our war on Russia!!! Down with Russia! 3:02 Loved the sound effects! That success for Improved Factories was crucial and right in the nick of time! You moved an infantry from Kerulan to Northern Manchuria, but they do not touch. You could have your cavalry reach there though (Chita to Northern Manchuria) and have the 2 infantry move from Kerulan to Western Manchuria. Note Königsberg starts the game with a fortification. So his 2 infantry-class units were boosted by 2 and he has 2 fortification first strikes at "5". They missed with "11" and "8". The +2 boost from the fortification didn't alter the battle.

Such high quality painting on those sculpts! Your set is amazing! Viewers should crank up to HD and watch this on a PC to really see how beautiful the pieces are!!!

Sikang had 1 KMT militia, in addition to the infantry. We PBE'd this. On R1, the militia missed with an "11". On R2, the militia missed with a "4". At this point, it is 1 infantry, 1 cavalry attacking 1 militia, 1 infantry. At this point, it is likely Sarge's Shell Hole would retreat.

You have such beautifully painted pieces! Also, the CCP is doing great. I'm sorry about Republican Spain. At least the income roll was good! :)

Note that you have Jet Fighters as requiring a "9", but it actually only requires an "8". It didn't matter, but it might make a difference in future rolls.

What game is this a RIP off off axis and allies

No problem with the annexation since it was marked. Always mark the important stuff. However, I'm not sure you can blitz to annex both. If you can, no big deal. If you can't, you could use one of the infantry from Lenningrad if needed.

Had 50 IPP Spent - 1 Submarine LL 6 2 x AAA = 8 1 x Railway in Mtn 4 International Red Aid 2 Saved - 30 + 32 Income + 3 MRP = 65 next turn

TBD couldnt go thru the White Sea canal only subs can.

8:46 Even your Polish militia look so badass!

Your plane could just fly from Southern Belorussia 1 space to Western Ukraine. Although your land units cannot move through impassable terrain, the planes can fly over the Pripet Marshes.

Glad you got some income going for the Soviets. Republican Spain was a bit extreme but you got their gold reserve it seems (following history in that sense). Communist China at least is hard nut to crack.

I'm sorry about Spain. That was super rare, the luck he had. I hope the Soviets do better!

Those are some really nicely detailed pieces! Some of the most detailed I have even seen. I can't imagine how much time and money that took! I wish I had that much time and money. However, I still am building my piece base for Global War.

What was the CCP recruitment roll ( I know it is unlikley 1/12 but)?

Rotten luck, mate! 😭

Note that only Major Power militia may move (and only then in Home Country). Since the Spanish Republicans are a minor power, they may not move militia.

Did I miss the Spain roll for recruitment?

No Pasaran! I expect you to keep the Spanish republic safe. Your map looks great.

My God! Your board is a stunner! So beautiful!

You forgot to roll for tech. We PBE'd your roll for Advanced Mechanized Infantry and you rolled a 1, so you failed.

Phenomenal analysis! I love hearing about the behind the scenes situation in Kwangtung! Totally agree that Kwangtung is an important territory to take! You and I both agree that USSR sent so much Lend-lease to CCP that it weakened USSR. Just oogling your set-up. Superb! Wow! This is amazing. I recorded my post game analysis before watching yours, but we say so many similar things! I agree that you waited so long that Japan missed the opportunity to use your "Surprise Attack" special ability. We are on the same page. We both discussed Southern India. Another area of agreement was my winnowing of your forces like the task force that took Aden. Japan can do so many clever attacks, but the Commonwealth can punish them with retaliation. If the Allies gang up on Japan, she can be fragile. I like your description of Japan as a "Paper Tiger." Nice analysis of the weakness of America's navy being so capital ship heavy. Your Guam attack worked perfectly. We killed your naval transports, but we left your troops alone. That was clever. Thanks for the nice compliments, my friend!

Great recap

Japan started this turn with 48. You spent 44, saving 4. You end the turn with 29 + 4 bonus income + 4 saved = 37 IPP in the bank. You do not hold Borneo (USA does).

Reviewing Japanese Heavy Battleship production. On T10, you start your first HBB. T11, you advance it to stage 2. T12, you start 2 HBB and finish your 1st. T13, you start 1 HBB and advance 1 to stage 2. This means you end T13 with 2 HBB at stage 3, 1 at stage 2, and 1 on the board. T14, you start 1 HBB, advance 2 HBB from stage 3 to stage 2, and place your 2nd HBB on the board. T15, you finish the 2 HBB at stage 2. At this moment, you have 1 HBB at stage 3 and 4 HBB on the board. This turn, you purchase 2 stages of HBB. 1 HBB is started and the one at stage 3 advances to stage 2. You have 4 HBB on the board.

At 10:30, you place a heavy battleship in sea zone P15, but you didn't have one at stage 2. It was at stage 3. So I have you with 4 heavy battleships in sea zone P15, one at stage 3 and one at stage 2.

At 8:05, you are spot on with your fuel marker that your fighter on MAP only had a range of 1. You count, "1, 2..." This would have been too far if you flew over Japan, but your move was still legal because sea zones P15 and P16 are adjacent. So it was just one move. 8 )

Counting sea zones is not your thing my friend ahahah

You could have gone in port in Kwangtung, but I don't think it would have been wise!

Love your camouflaged fortifications!

Hainan(the island) has a cavalry or infantry for Jpan right?

Mao & CCP forcing your hand? Interesting :)

Those defending rolls were obscene! I’ve never seen so many hits

The Common Wealth has Anti-Submarine Warfare technology, so convoy line defense rolls are a "2" against each convoy raiding submarine (not a 3), so the Japanese raiding submarines survived this turn. Reference V4.2.1 rules, 8.2.1, and 10.9.

Just so you understand the flow of play: You perform all your combat movement and declare all your combats during the combat movement phase. Then, you proceed to the combat phase where you roll dice. I think you believe you declare both your combats and your combat movements, but do not do the movement until after you have rolled the dice. Does this make sense? During the combat movement phase, you can say something like, "I'm going to move these units here to attack here [You move those units into that battle]... and I will move these units there to attack there [You move those units into that battle]." Then, you roll your dice. After resolving all your combats, you then proceed to non-combat movement and more movement takes place. Trying to be helpful! 8 )
