2. Cairo - Move the CWxxx3 to El Alamein

Your move.
172 10/9/2026 12:54:00 PM Winter 1942 Allied Message Let me make sure I have your adjusted move one correctly.

First, I have the GExxx9th at Masurian Lakes and the 8th at Crete. I don’t care, just make sure I have the unit numbers where they should be.
1. You moved the IT armor to Hell Fire Pass, no problem.

2 GExxx7th. You changed to moving from Athens to “Crete to L”. Is the “to L” a typo?

3. Then instead of moving GE 8th/9th from Crete to Tobruk, you moved the IT xxx10 to Br Hachim.

All that correct?
171 10/9/2026 11:42:00 AM Winter 1942 Axis Message Well, it seems unlikely, but still, change

GE7xxx Athens - Crete to I

IT10xxx Gefala to Bir Hachim.

Rest of move stays the same I'll sleep better at night

161 10/4/2026 7:03:00 PM Winter 1942 Allied Message Marc, I believe I see where there is a confusion on your part and rightly so or I'm completely confused myself. I went back and looked and yes, I played the Sorge card last turn as an OPS. My deck reshuffled and I drew both the Sorge and Siberians this hand. I'm now playing the Sorge as an Event and only get the 2 moves it states. I kept the trench roll and then as my 2nd "move" marker allowed by Sorge I rolled for the trench in Moscow.

That's is what I believe is legal and Im doing to rectify my not playing it correctly before the Siberians this turn. Does that clear it up or am I still off somewhere? Sorry I create these darn problems.!
160 10/4/2026 4:49:00 PM Winter 1942 Axis Message happy to let you keep those low trench rolls just wanna make sure I understand what card was being rolled. From my perspective, it makes the most sense that that was the Siberian, played as a straight ops. Your other option would’ve been to redo the Sorge play from last turn, eliminating the move with the British desert army. But you’re good trench rolls may make this better for you so I’m happy to let you go this way assuming that’s the Siberian card you just played, not the Sorge card. I hope I’m making sense.
159 10/4/2026 4:46:00 PM Winter 1942 Axis Message you played Sorge at 132. If I understand your response, you are playing the Siberians as a straight event now, so Sorge should stay where it was, and those last rolls were redoing the Siberians as straight ops. Is that correct?
158 10/4/2026 4:31:00 PM Winter 1942 Allied Message Hey, I can roll low numbers! A Lvl 1 trench a Smolensk also.

Message from Allied:
Per our discussion
154 10/4/2026 4:25:00 PM Winter 1942 Allied Message Hey Marc. Sorry for the screw up on my part on the card. I read the part about the Moscow requirement but missed the “Play after Sorge.’ I know you need to read all a card but damn, putting separating playing requirements on the card is a pain in my opinion. That said:

Remove all the “S” units from play. I’ll play the Sorge card and keep the trench I rolled if you don’t mind. I’ll add the extra OPS movement allowed by the card separately from this message.
153 10/3/2026 1:28:00 PM Winter 1942 Allied Message Hey to it. A trench at Chernigov now.

Assuming he was at full strength he would only flip on this round. Or I think you could legally flip the infantry that participated in the attack instead.
If that makes sense, go ahead and do that. Just let me know and I’ll add that to your reinforcement so to speak.

I looked at 105 again and somehow missed the Galatz attack. My mind goes off in unusual directions that I dont grasp in the end. If yo get tred of it we can give up on playing. I hate when I do something like this and I’m trying and paying attention. My brain just goes some other directions for a moment.

Anyway, I’ll not play a CC for the ODessa battle.

94 9/17/2026 4:41:00 PM Summer 1941 Allied Message I don’t see any isolations on the map so I’ll go ahead and do my Reinf.

SU 2

That’s it for me!
93 9/17/2026 2:35:00 PM Summer 1941 Allied Message Yeah, I did screw up the AR count. I guess I'll stick with what I did and lose the VP. I pretty much had to do what I did with the game turn as it progressed. Hopefully I can get the VP back in a more timely way later in the game. If not, I'll throw in the towel on this game.

So, I guess we're into turn wrap up. I'll look a little later. Ive been up a long time today and I need a short rest or nap...
92 9/17/2026 2:15:00 PM Summer 1941 Axis Change Victory Points -1: from 11 to 10
Message from Axis:
no standfast violation and no occupation of Odessa means this should be out of 10 I believe
91 9/17/2026 2:13:00 PM Summer 1941 Axis Message it just occurred to me that you couldn’t possibly have a standfast marker and a mandatory offensive in the same turn. Looks like we forgot to take the stand fast marker off from the first, so no VP that last round. I’ll readjust the VP track.

90 9/17/2026 9:15:00 AM Summer 1941 Axis Message Also, see 5.2. I currently have 3 VP in SU. If I am unable to take two more in th next two turns (Including awful winter) I lost two VP. If you can hold me to one, I lose a VP there, so having enough VP to play the card can be a real issue for the Germans.


89 9/17/2026 9:11:00 AM Summer 1941 Axis Message As I count, that was the last round. If I'm right, I should mention the allied MO you might have forgotten about. I got far ahead early last game, so VP might not seem that important, but I need at least 11 to play that awful total war card down the road, so VP do matter early in the game.
If you do want to reconsider things, just let me know.

And thank you for the compliments on my aggressive attacks. I'm certainly trying to enjoy them while I can, as I figure the worm will definitely turn by this time 1942, Already, that 1 armor piece you have o the board has me nervous!

87 9/16/2026 6:39:00 AM Summer 1941 Axis Play Strategy card as Replacement Points #14: 5 / Fall Blau
Axis places 5 Combat markers in any axis ocupied spaces (include. Multi-nationality spaces). +1DRM for all attack vs. Su this round. Allows Axis attack Stalingrad, Maikop, Armavir. PREREQ: May play after Hitler Takes Command.

Replacement points: GE: 4, AX: 2

Message from Axis:
as tempting as it is to continue, I just can’t live without the replacements right now. Good move on your part as I can’t capitalize on those empty VP spaces

86 9/16/2026 6:38:00 AM Summer 1941 Axis Change Victory Points 0: from 11 to 11
Message from Axis:
since Odessa hasn’t really fallen yet, no changing VP after Soviet move from under stand fast marker Still 11
85 9/15/2026 5:08:00 PM Summer 1941 Allied Play Strategy card as Operations #22: 5 / Operation Uranus
"+1DRM" for all Su attack this round. PREREQ: May NOT play during Spring Thaw

Message from Allied:
Turn 2, AR 4, 5 OPS

1. Kishinev - South Frt to Cherkassi = -1 VP for Stand Fast violation

2. Odessa - Caucasus to Kirovograd - SUxxxx11 to Poltava

3. Gomel - SW Frt to Chernigov & Central Fr to Bryansk

4. Smolensk - Don Frt to Valdal

5. Holm Demyansk - (SUxxxx13) to Novgorod

Not sure how this will go. I think I’m screwed by a good series of German attacks. I could not play that last good card for Reinf and I think that may be the crush. We’ll see. If so, we can do that Napoleonic game we bought a couple years back! You’re playing a strong German attack and I just don’t know if the Soviets can stand up to it if it’s done right.
84 9/15/2026 7:38:00 AM Summer 1941 Axis Play Strategy card as Operations #9: 4 / Hitler Takes Command
Allow play of Totaler Krieg, Fall Blau, Zitadelle, Wacht am Rhein events. Prevents play of PzG Guderian. +2DRM to the Axis Order rolls.

Message from Axis:
nearly the same move as last time with adjustment made for Odessa and the 17/9 issue fixed

essage from Axis:
Mark Temesvar and Minsk for MV, Pskov, Tarnopol for Combat

1. At temesvar the 1pzxxx and (2) move to Galatz

2. At Minsk, the 2PZ and 4PZ move to Tarnopol, moving first into Soviet controlled Bobriusk to avoid stand-fast penalty.

3. At Pskov, the 9 attacks the 9xxxx at Luga, eliminates it and advance3s to Luga.
The 16 attacks the 12 in Velikiye-Luki and eliminates it, but no advance

4. At Tarnopol, the 17 attacks Vinnitsa, eliminates the 8xxxx, but no advance
The 3PZ and 4 PZ attack Zhitomir. 10 xxxx eliminated, the 4PZ advances to Zhitomir, the 2 PZ to Kiev 1VP

That should be it I’ll send a picture to confirm

83 9/15/2026 7:35:00 AM Summer 1941 Axis Return Strategy card to hand #14: 5 / Fall Blau

Message from Axis:
Redo last move
82 9/15/2026 7:33:00 AM Summer 1941 Axis Message sorry buddy that question on Luga is my typo
The 17 is a Tarnopol, the 9 attacked your 9 at Luga.
That should be it other than the slight redo which I will send shortly
81 9/14/2026 11:10:00 AM Summer 1941 Axis Message hey buddy, just got back last night and got a little catching up to do around the house, but I’ll get to figuring out what the hell happened with my move and get back to you today. Sorry for the radio silence. I was a bit demoralized geez we’ve hardly started this game and already. I’m all over the place.
80 9/11/2026 10:31:00 AM Summer 1941 Allied Message I found another problem. You attack Odessa thinking only the SUxxxx11 is there. The Caucasus is also there. Rework the move?
79 9/11/2026 10:28:00 AM Summer 1941 Allied Message Marc, I have a couple of your units mixed up. You had the 17th attack and take Luga. I show the 17th at Tarnopol Rovno along with the two panzers units you just move there. I had the 9th & 16th Inf at Pskov. Do I just need t swap the 9th and 17th places as I suspect? I sh
78 9/11/2026 10:01:00 AM Summer 1941 Axis Message Actually, no further advance for the 1pzxxx after the Odessa ttack. He moves to Odessa with the Romanian and stops.
