A&A Europe - Game 1 Round 1


Axis & Allies Europe (1999)

Round 1

Game: Axis & Allies Europe (1999 Edition – 2nd Edition Rules Updates)



Round 1


Germany:
Germany ignores USSR for now, deciding it is more important to threaten UK. Their lone attack is to disrupt the USSR Convoy Center.


Right now, the name of the game is OVERKILL. Germany must destroy as much of UK's navy as possible.




Germany must create a clear path so they can attack Convoy Centers and threaten an Operation Sea Lion attack against UK.

The Battle of the Atlantic Results:

Germany losses:
3 Submarines (24 IPC value)

UK losses:
3 Transports (24 IPC value)
4 Destroyers (48 IPC value)
1 Battleship (24 IPC value)

24 vs. 96 – a VERY successful German victory.


The Atlantic is now open and Germany has lots of options.

Secondary goals include slowing USA’s navy and preventing them easy access to Africa or UK.

If possible, Germany must prepare naval units in the Mediterranean to help defend Africa and begin the invasion of the Middle East.

USSR:
A game of stacks. USSR is going to build and build and make Germany come to them.


USSR will send men to the Middle East when possible.


USSR leaves Stalingrad mostly open and they retreat their Anti-Aircraft Gun to use to protect their larger army. This is a risky move, but USSR has decided to try to trick Germany into focusing on Stalingrad as opposed to Moscow.


Even if Stalingrad falls, Germany will only be able to build one unit per round there, and Allied Bombers can begin Strategic Bomb Raids. These raids should be more successful because the Anti-Aircraft Gun has been removed.

UK:
UK’s first goal is to destroy German transports to prevent any invasion of the British island.


Germany gambled their naval aspirations here and it was a failure. An expensive failure. Perhaps Germany would have been better off building off of Italy. 

UK’s other goals include coordinating naval efforts with USA in the Atlantic and sending fighters to USSR to help defend against the eventual German invasion.



USA:
USA builds naval units. Their goal is to clear out the Atlantic and open up several options of operations – Africa, Norway or the liberation of France.
