@surfer excellent. I will make those changes.

-
good to go.

Anzac’s turn.

-
oops wrong game
-
@crockett36 looks like you are doing relatively well in that game.

@crockett36 I thought we (includes @Arthur-Bomber-Harris) agreed that UK was not in danger of attack so that we could send the fighters to Morocco to prevent the attack…
However, the Luftwaffe could pounce and land in Algeria. If the Italians kamikazi in to weaken Moroccan defense, then the battle should be a net zero and even kill of planes (5 each side). If the Italians don’t attack, the Luftwaffe takes all those hits. Plus being in Algeria is not overly useful for Germany.
OTOH, keeping all of our fighters for later is probably not a bad problem to have. I just hate the sacrifices fleet + french we allowed ourselves to succumb to.
Also, don’t need 2 subs in SZ125. Pull UK SS back to SZ109 for defense.

@arthur-bomber-harris thanks for your help

@crockett36 said in ABH and Crockett36, (A+100) tutor game:
So this is draft 1. I think it is solid. nothing fancy. what do you guys think? Sorry. I did an edit somewhere in this computer that included sending the figs to Mor and the transport to 30. Shall we continue or make the edits? I’m happy either way.
-
@crockett36 your tutor game and purely for educational purposes. Let me know how you want to proceed.

@arthur-bomber-harris I know it’s Easter weekend. I didn’t see anything earthshaking and surfer seemed “OTOH” about a few things so lets go with my last upload. Germany’s up. 3rd turn.

@crockett36 4.16 germanyh.tsvg
Russia’s up. Should be an easy turn.

@crockett36 what do you think?

Sorry I’ve been away, but here are my comments.
a) ANZAC DD in SZ55 as blocker is not necessary IHMO. The best he can do is 40-60 battle. Even if he wins he’ll likely have only a few tipped battleships and some aircraft that will splash since the CVs will be damaged or likely gone. Thus the US counter will sweep them.If he did win, then he could have also brought troops to take Queensland, but we can defend NSW with all troops and wait for the US second turn to blow them out.
b) Move US transport to SZ30.
c) Why are we buying a bunch of expensive units? Germany has bought nothing but land and air except 1 DD. We can’t keep them from Belarus even with this buy. I like the fact that the move somewhat stalls the advance, but need more defenders. If you want another tank to blitz more territory ok, but mostly want inf.
-
No problem making the Pacific edits. Surfer is 100% correct about a and b
-
I’ve made that sz 30 edit twice. But I’ll do it again
-
Perhaps the move to Ukraine will get us in trouble.
If he counters with all units that he can to Belarus.
He will have 17 tanks + 8 mech + 1 ftr + 1 tac + 1 sb (that can attack Moscow) + 6 inf + 3 art to support.
He has plenty of can openers so we have to defend Moscow.
4 bomber buy. Italians take Smolensk, and suddenly we are in trouble.We retreat to Ukraine with everyone
The 15 inf goto Moscow + 10 inf buy + whatever we buy this round
Everyone else including ftrs go to Bryansk.
This loses Moscow with current buy 99%. But perhaps we can take it back, but the lost income and round of purchases, may doom us–although we would kill most of the Panzers.We add 5 ftrs to Moscow. Makes battle 25-75 and 90TUV dog. Ok. I like that except now the retreating units to Bryansk have to defend against same units in Belarus + 3 tank + 4 mech that move up from Germany to E. Poland without the ftrs to protect. And get annihilated. Of course we would destroy those forces on the counter attack from Moscow, except the attack could just be a raid. Kill more than lose and win the war of attrition.
Russia with all the fighters is not going to fall soon unless we get out of position.
We aren’t in position to beat the Germans yet. Need to wait.
