@AldoRaine said in Another attempt at an Allied playbook.:

Experience has EMPHATICALLY shown that the most efficient use of units for UK turn 1 involves purchasing an air base for Gibraltar and moving any navy that can reach to sea zone 92 while leaving at least 2 fighters in Gibraltar

the air base seems like a big spend on T1 w/ the UK… seems like you give the germans a real chance to take London???

It may seem so but the actuality of it is that unless there has been a sea lion buy G1,. bringing the fleet up to SZ110 as well as the planes, is enough to defend London G3.

If UK_Pac are likely to be there for a while shouldn’t you be convoying off their income? I’d be inclined to strat bomb too but the convoying doesn’t have any downsides.

@Aaron_the_Warmonger said in Japan goes to south africa. Worth it?:

is it worth to send an expeditionary force with 2 troops and some ships to SZ72?

You need to send more than 2 troops, because the UK can build 3 and it takes 2 turns to get there. I’m not sure what else you would be doing as Japan with your navy. I’d think you’d also need to send some escorts, otherwise one sub can be built in the Red Sea and sink your force. Or fly a plane to Egypt then sink the force.

I think this idea would make the game a lot less fun, for many of the reasons already posted. Would certainly give the Axis a black eye. So many inf can be bought in India that it may never fall.

I actually think that Canada should be its own economy or even power. It irritates me that the Canadian money can be spent in London and not spent in a Sea Lion game. The problem is that it makes it too easy to do Sea Lion, enough that UK1 you have to buy all inf for London. The other problem is the created power is not that much fun to play.
