I have been reading the Global FAQ and there have been various debates abouy Russia helping the UK in Egypt and other Africa but never read about building a minor IC in Egypt. I tried it on turn one of the UK and Italy cannot mess around in Africa only if its very lucky with the dice roll.
I can make a minor in Egypt can't I? If yes consider it as a strategy that might give advantage to the allies in Africa. If Egypt holds two rounds then the Italians are game over!

Problem is UK has other worries.
Sealion, (invasion of UK) for instance.
Because of that danger UK1 build is normally 9 inf.
UK2 build is 10 inf.
Only then can you get creative.

I hardly doubt that Germany will try to invade England in each and every game.
Imagine Germany ignore UK and attack USSR in the first turn.
In that case UK should sink the Italian navy and build a factory in Egypt.
I think.
IMHO

Not really. That's 4 less inf in England, which will lead to a Sealion and the eventual capture of the factory |

Why are you concerned of the sealion England has a good chance to prevent it with its battleships which are near the UK

I am afraid I disagree but an opinion is an opinion. The UK has two BB and two cruisers in the area and Germany one BB and one cruiser why are you so sure about this?

Don't forget Germany also has 5 subs, 4 fighters, 3 tacticals, and a bomber. France is easily taken with all land units in range |

OK the subs can do damage but have roll 2 and there is a destroyer is SZ 110. The tactical bombers is a good move but what can the Bomber do does it attack fleets? I do not know this.
What about the fighters in the UK can't the UK scramble them?

Bombers can attack fleets and the UK fighters can't scramble since UK is not an Island(borders a land territory and multiple sea zones). Here is one set of attacks: SS and fighter against destroyer and transport in Z109 fighter, cruiser, and battleship against 2 cruisers in Z112 2 SS, 2 ftr, tac against battleship and cruiser 2 SS, 2 tac, bmr against destroyer and battleship |

Thanks for the plan and the answer about the fighters is logical, but I find no logic in the bomber being able to fire upon ships. In real war strategic bombers bombed cities and facilities not ships, they fly very high up in the sky in order to aim a ship. If that is in the rules its unrealistic and I am afraid that I will not play it my game. Thank though for your quick answers and debate calvin.

Are you really serious  1- A&A is an unrealistic war game... 2- What kind of planes do you think sank the British BBs in the pacific ? ( in the real WWII ) 3- If you read all the msgs in all the forums, lots of players are trying unrealistic ways to win... 4- I would like to play against you, since you won't use bombers against me and I will against you  5- This is only a wargame, enjoy it and use your bombers, scare your ennemies.  Cheers J.  |

Were they strategic bombers or stukas you tell me.
Do you think I do not know its an unrealistic game!!!
The thing is though that the game is based on real events, a real war with the real political situations of that time. Anyway thats the way I see it. Bombers bomb from thousands of feet off the ground, tactical bombers can bomb ships, that's how the American and Japanese fleet lost ships. If I am wrong then I apologize.
Anyway we wouldn't play with each other I think because we have different philosophies. Thank you though for your opinion.
