So much to do as Japan with attacks from all directions. Things should get sooner for them once Siberia is cleared up.
So I think you’ll think this is too wasteful. Can you give me what you would do?
It’s not about transports, it’s about pinning and blocking, eradicating, occupying. I wasn’t planning on taking Normandy.
more modestly if you attack, I want to reduce. air hopefully or navy enough that I can move into sz 6 and convoy. this will allow calcutta to stand.
conservativeusa.tsvg lost the brit bomber in this one.
US fleet should be either in SZ55 or SZ33 (capturing Carolines). Your forces should be strong enough that you aren’t afraid of a fleet trade.
Your minor US fleet should be in Hawaii instead of Midway. Can reach the same useful places plus can join up with the rest of the fleet.
revisedus5.tsvg look good?
Looks better. Should I go as Italy now?
@arthur-bomber-harris yes, but please post what you would have done. Thanks.
something like these sets of moves, although I would have to be more careful that I didn’t have any mistakes. I want my Indian Ocean fleet in the Med, and want the Atlantic fleet ready to strike W Europe. I also want the Pacific fleet threatening Japan and the East Asia rim.
Anzac’s turn
Subs are always helpful for the Allies. Good purchase for ANZAC
If you did those moves, the 35 Russians in Bryansk would get destroyed on G7 and Moscow will fall easily on G8.
I would attack the tanks in Archangel and skip the other attacks.
If you want to get aggressive, do one of the battles with 1 inf + 1 fighter. In general Russia should not be doing many attacks without fighter support as they can’t afford to lose so many troops.
This feels like fiddling while Rome burns. You have previously mentioned that Moscow usually falls. If my massive army goes to Tambov, I might be able to cut off the armor. Caucasus and Stalingrad are worth too much to leave alone, not to mention the Middle East. These may be safer moves but result in Germany at parity with the US. Every single suggestion is sensible but will lead to a global loss in the long run. Do you disagree?
I believe the best course of action is to head to Middle East. Moscow doesn’t even give a German bonus.
Looks much better, although don’t step too far away from Moscow with that stack since infantry can get trapped if they wander away from their main supply lines.
Normally the Allies would have a much stronger defense in the Middle East so that the Axis couldn’t so easily march all the way to Egypt. That should have been possible with the A+100 bid. There is almost 100 PUs worth of fleet sitting in the Indian ocean achieving nothing, that would have been better used if it was in the Middle East or threatening W Europe.
Any other modifications, or is this final?
@arthur-bomber-harris final. Thanks.
