800 on each section is the high score, but I’m old enough to where there were only two sections…I guess there are 3 now…
Hobbes, had success using a balanced attack. Had some luck in the Atlantic though. Both UK/US DD/Trans survived, so it gave us moment of opportunity. My EI invasion failed (so lost both trans/inf), but the US was able to take the heat off India. The German Navy was sunk pretty quick with exception of the BB in the Med. US thankfully was able to use its DD and CA to knock it out. The first US fleet got knocked out the Solomons (bad die roll by US, 2CV, 4FTR, 2DD, BB), but the US did have a reserve fleet standing by.
Russia was successful at being aggressive both in Europe and in China. My allies were angry that I abandoned Africa, but the aggressive Russians and the impending invasions of Norway/Finland and Morroco only made me lose Egypt.
Lessons Learned for the Axis:
As Japan, only get the 3IPCs in the Russian North. Don’t advance anyfurther with a small task force. There will be too many Russian inf and possilby the use of the 2 FTRs (Russia has probably turtled back at this point).
I think SBRing UK is a waste of time for the Germans. I think Caucus would be a better target if Germany is going North to Karelia (to help keep the South clear of Russian units).
The Russian inf in China make things very difficult to clear China effectively and worry about India/US (especially when the Russian 5 from Yakut swing back into China from Evengi). This 3 pronged counter works well if Japan focuses on the US Fleet.
Never ever use both SS against the BB…if the UK DD survives, you sack both in this attack for no real gain. The only time you should combine your SS is to go after the US fleet in the Atl (pri #1 for German salvation)
