zappsweden Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 Axis took Poland, LC..., AND DENMARK on turn 2 with the regular 2 ground+3 air+hq in the west!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Time for Rambo to continue the Triology. I wanted the Axis & got the Axis with a high bid. Poland, LC, & Denmark ALL fall on turn #2 (my Axis turn), I hit the Trifecta! Legend is out of the gate, look out! Poland got headcracked on the ground on turn #1, which allowed for a capture on turn #2. LC received the usual Nazi turn #2 treatment...tank, army, 3-air...but I didn't need all the air! Air (Luftwaffe) units could be diverted to Denmark. Time for some plunder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 Turn 3: Allies find the 2 axis subs far north in the Atlantic. Battles occur and one Sub was sunk. Axis took the First Blood Hex in France. [ October 11, 2003, 11:25 AM: Message edited by: zappsweden ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Allies (Zapp) are pounding Ireland with massive air..2-carriers, bomber, & 2-fighters. I'm sure Monty is playing air traffic controller with the big bid money. In France, it is a HEADCRACK...French get "first blood hex" ritual. German units pour into the hole in the North. Turn #3, French lost an Army, turn #4 is no different, French die in thh Ardennes, get out of my forest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zappsweden Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 Turn 4: Frenchmen abaondon the Maginot line. Ireland surrendered. Monty was involved with the conquest of Ireland but the early axis success made France too thin to defend themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Jan. 1940 --- French are on the run, Panzers attack Paris, British corps are in the North (of Paris), cut-off, French will need to help them to get the hell (heaven) out. Zapp will get a few French units to UK, he didn't have much of a choice but to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 March 17, 1940 --- Nazis crush the last French ground units, Pairs is captured. Those 2-UK corps are also no more. Italy joins the fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zappsweden Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 Allies make one last desperate attempt in Brest but are facing solid Luftwaffe defence. Allies give up. France fell too early and Axis took no casulaties. From now on it would only have been Cookie-Cutter style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Give me an inch, I'll take the World. TKO in the Axis turn #2. Another notch in the clip of victories. The Legend grows.

roman uk Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 is the game really so hopeless at that point? It seemed that the German war machine was only slightly ahead of schedule. I have lost games from a similar point far too often, usually due to overextending in one adventure or another. What do you think the chance of victory from that point is "percentage-wise"? just curious... Roman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 It's really tough if you lose France that early. You have to conclude that Axis Tech is going to go insane. That they have time to capture every Minor on the Map accept Canada, Switzerland and Turkey. Not only that but with so many losses Britian is a non-option for a long long time.. By the time Rambo hits Russia, if he decides to go that way. I wouldn't be shocked to see the Axis with 8 airfleets tech2-3 and another 2-3 in France if neccessary protected by Italian Navy and German Subs prepping to take out or invade England... with LR developing...that and 5-6 armor tech1-2... Fact is in Russia if you can strike 4-5 airfleets per city you can knock each one as you go per turn. and not only that but as the front shrinks so does the MPPs increase for the Axis.. It's a downhill game not an uphill one Really now it's just a matter of time as the Axis can prevent a D-Day from ever happening in time to Save the Russians...
