Thanks man. It’s a shame the US can declare war on Germany if attacked by Japan. I was always thought Hitler was a moron for doing so. That said, the US would have declared war anyhow, so I guess the rule is historically fair.
The J1 really puts Germany in a bind quick. However, I don’t see any way around it.
Just did my first practice game with myself. Three days of insane mania- it was lovely. The Axis won in J-8; taking Moscow , but I was screwing up all over the place. The game gets really interesting as it goes on.
Should China shield Russia or shield UK-Asia?
Is there any way to make a meaningful contribution form ANZAC?
Same for UK Asia.
Japan has so many options it’s maddening. The money islands look pretty key.
But going hard for Hawaii early might suck off a crap ton of US pressure on Germany.
How aggressive should the US be in the Pacific?- looks like not much for now.
How the heck do I get Italy into the game after Taranto?
Africa is maddening for all concerned.
I don’t see how Germany can get to the Soviets in the short term without ignoring everything and gambling on a G6. The Soviets get so much money and there territory is so worthless IPC wise.
The Carrier/ 2 transport buy is a great stall tactic on UK
SO may more strategy questions…
And then there are the geographic hotspots.
Gibraltar/Sea Zones 91/92
The Carolines/SZ33
Bryansk
SZ129
There is never enough money.
But this game is pretty fricking awesome.
