Mm. Without a whole lotta explanation, I’d agree with Hobbes’ last assessment. BTW, all that carrier stuff - it’s not that it’s Hobbes’ pet strategy - it’s just that Advosan brought it up, so I threw in a reply.
Germany may be able to use clever builds to stall UK from building in sea, but I see no way to race Russia’s ground from the east (at LEAST requiring German infantry) and a combined UK/US fleet. Japan takes a while to get going, and early gains by the Russians translate to IPCs in the bank.
Best, I’d think, is the strategies Hobbes alluded to. I think implementation comes down to either 5 tanks 5 infantry G1 build, 8 tanks G1 build, or bomber/infantry mix, possibly building only infantry early, possibly concentrating on bombers early . . . I can’t say which.
I’ll comment more in another thread.
As far as this thread being an exaggeration - well, it is quite modest for Hobbes not to toot his own horn, and perhaps he doesn’t himself believe that he’s a juggernaut. But I’d say that even if he got schooled in Revised, I’d say he improved. Certainly, I’d like to see the implementation of his Axis strats.
