Strategic Bombing of Germany

[rpv173]

we dont play with NO. Perhaps we should. Germany makes only 31-35 the most, because the allies end up taking Norway and Finland. That's -5 right there. The Russian lands arent worth much except for Caucasus.

I did take Karelia over and kept it throughout the game. He bombed that factory too...He had so many Bombers he didnt know what to do with them. I think Bombers are way too cheap...

I also took Caucasus over, but Russia was threatening a counter attack so i pulled my tanks off..I hand no infantry to protect my tanks all game. only about 8 inf and 20 tanks, with 5 ftrs. Russia had 16 tanks, but at least 20 inf.

Kendric:

Germany 50+ and Japan at least 50+ maybe 60+ is barely by round 3. 


rpv:

I routinely take Egypt and Karelia on Germany 1 (sometimes Italy needs to finish off Egypt.)  Trade off is that England starts with at least some boats in the water, but the benefit is that Finland, Norway and Karelia are mine that's 7 IPC in land and 5 IPC in NOs for a total of +12 IPC.

Germany also gets +5 IPC for having itself and land close to it and another +5 IPC for taking some easy Russian lands that are hard for Russia to reclaim.

Not including Europe, that means Germany's already at 22 IPC (including Europe it's a lot more.)

Ok I see, I misunderstood your original post. I thought you meant 50 IPCs without NOs 60 with, you meant 50-60 with NO's

Thanks for the clarification.

Im so hungry to play more, just need to find the time.
