Axis and Allies Global 1940 Game 3: Turn 1

In our third game, I went with Nik and my friend Jono went with my good bro Shaun. Nik went as USA, Anzac's and the great Free French army. I went as UK, Soviet Union, and the Chinese. Shaun and Jono both went as all three of the Axis powers.
I was the only one who recorded all my purchases.

Turn 1.
Germany with 30 IPC's bought a tactical bomber, a fighter, a tank, and an infantry.
In their combats they destroyed the Bristish, and lost their cruiser and got a hit on their battleship. They also captured France and both had bad loses. They captured Normandy and took Finland and Bulgaria.
They were left with only 1 sub at the end of this turn after they had started off with 5.

Soviet Union purchased 4 tanks and a fighter with thier 37 IPC's
As the Russians are not at war yet they just moved their forces to the German front. They made a picket line by just leaving an infantry unit in the territories next to Germany. We would see how this picket line would work latter on in the game.

Japan purchased 2 transports and 1 Minor Industrial with their 26 IPC's
They did an interesting move with their long range Strategic Bombers and flew them down and sunk the British Battleship and 2 transports. They attacked a few territories in China and took over Hong Kong. In their non-combat moves they moved all their men except one infantry from Manchuria which would prove bad for them in the next turn.
They placed their 2 transports in the Sea of Japan and their minor industrial in Shanghia.

Uk Europe purchased 3 infantry, 1 tank, 2 artillery, and 1 AA gun with their 29 IPC's
In their combat moves they attacked the damaged Battleship and sunk it, but lost a fighter doing it. With their Carrier with a tactical bomber on it and a destroyer they moved into the Mediterranean and attacked the Italian Battleship, Cruiser, and transport. They also brought their cruiser next to Egypt and their fighter from Alexandria, which could land on the carrier. The attack was very succesful and the Italians didn't get a hit back due to bad rolling. They also used thier transport next to Eygpt to go and get Greece which was pro-Allies which meant that they got 4 extra men.
  

Sorry about the quality of the photo as I am not a good photographer.

In preparation for an operation Sea Lion they put all their purchases in London, except the tank (which they put in South Africa)

 

Uk Pacific purchased 3 infantry and a tank with their 16 IPC's 

They didn't do any combats in their first turn due to their transports being sunk by the Japs.

All they did was to fortify Calcutta from an attack from the Japanses.

 

Anzac purchased a sub with their 10 IPC's.

As they don't start off with much, all they could do was move their destroyer and transport next to Queensland where the naval base is.

 

Italy decided to not to purchase anything with their 10 IPC's.

Italy took Southern France, Trans-Jordan, Tunisia, and Alexandria.

They also took out the British transport which was next to Greece.

 

USA with their 52 IPC's purchased a carrier, 2 cruisers, 1 infantry, and 1 sub.

All that they did was move their fleet next to San Fransico to Pearl Harbour.

They placed one cruiser in the Europe half, and the rest of their units onto the Pacific half.

 

China with their 12 IPC's purchased 3 artillery because the Burma road was open.

They just tried to hold the japan land force from getting Calcutta for as long as they could.

 

France couldn't purchase anything becasue their capital had been taken.

They moved their cruiser and destroyer which was in the Mediterranean into the same sea zone that the British force was. They also started moving their destroyer that was next to Madagasscar towards  the Pacific side. They also moved their infantry from London to Scotland.
