[max334]

[max334]

I think I’ll give this game to you. Any tips?

[peirce]

@max334 Thanks Max, good game. I don’t know if I qualify to give tips on this map, but I was surprised when you hit Taranto (sz99) UK1 when I had done a G1 naval buy, particularly with only 3 fighters (2 fgt 1 tac). If that battle had gone sideways (it was only 75%) then you were ceding Egypt to Italy on Italy-1. And, it made it possible for my German fleet to squat in sz112 to blockade UK.

Fun game, and the dice helped me when I needed them. Can you post the result?

[max334]

@peirce in your opinion, what should UK do when Germany does a G1 Naval buy? Are you saying they should not attacking the Italian fleet in the Med (Toranto)?

[peirce]

@max334 On PtV, with a German naval buy, I think UK has to do a full London buy (all ground units), not hit Taranto, and save fighters for the UK defense. The risk for Sea Lion is just too high. (this is from @axis-dominion - he’s a top player on this map)
