Turn 1

Details not provided.

Turn 2

Allies concentrate in the North Sea, South Atlantic and the Mediterranean. After the Anson failed its speed roll to the Med, the Italians were joined by 2 oiled Germans and one German from the Neutral port to win the area.

Axis win turn 2 with 8 POC to 2 POC for the Allies (North & South Atlantic) (+6 total)
Axis are up the maximum 10 POC after turn 2.

Turn 3

Allies concede the North Atlantic, holding Convoy 1A in the USA. Germans take the North Atlantic and the Baltic, but not before the Russians sink the Lutzow. U-boats break control of the South Atlantic (to allow the 2 Germans in the North Atlantic to attempt oiling) and the Axis once again defeat the British in the Mediterranean.

Axis win turn 3 with 6 POC to 2 POC for the Allies (North & Barents Seas) (+4 total)
Axis remain up by the maximum 10 POC after turn 3.

Turn 4

Axis take the Baltic (sinking the last Russian), sink the Victorious with the LBA in the Barents, disable Convoy 1A in the North Atlantic with the U-boats, and defeat the Allied fleets in the South Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

Axis win turn 4 with 6 POC to 2 POC for the Allies (North & Barents Seas) (+4 total)
Axis remain up by the maximum 10 POC after turn 4.

From Larry Neal (Allies): At the end of turn 4 I bow to the inevitable and resign my position. The Allied inability to hit resulted in 12BBs, 4CAs, & 3CVs sunk in exchange for 5 Axis BBs & 4CAs (3 German, the rest Italian). Bruce wins a decisive victory. The English have begun teaching German to their young.

Bruce Monnin (Axis) wins.
