@Violent.copper:
#2 this one is what im most interested in. we’ll say because of the egypt bid the fighter is still alive and germany didn’t atempt egpyt because they only had a 49% chance of winning.
….
the turn two attack is only gonna work if TJ is open to land the bobmers but then they will probably get killed by the japs, if all the bombers are in TJ.
so if Germay doesn’t attack egypt G1, that would allow UK to have in TRJ 4 inf,art,tank + remaining RAF after sinking the Italian navy on UK2. Not a real gimme for Japan J3.
Don’t forget the Russian turn 1 inf buy in Cau and/or tank buy on R2 can be moved in to help UK protect TRJ against a J3 attack.Based on these thoughts, I think whatever RAF is left alive should be OK.
@Violent.copper:
so this allows for ur bombing campaign so we know with LL if i throw 5or6 bombers to sbr im losing one for sure. so thats 12 dollars every turn after u have 6, how do u get the money as U.k to have a navy?
USA needs to help with some covering navy like an A/C (or two?) and DD’s.
The navy needs to set up in SZ12 as to retake/move units through africa to help against a japanese push thru persia as well as threaten Italy. think UK3 in sz12 with USA help and from that point, react to German pressure.
@Violent.copper:
IF the tj is open and the japs don’t kill ur RAF, is a bombing campaign gonna work with no brittish landing force?
My thinking is first, remove Italian navy to help keep african cash, keep italian from their NO’s, keep that can opener small. (UK1, 2 and 3) Next, start to bomb Germany to keep her from going totally wild against Russia. This is a effort that the remaining bombers will undertake, no more UK bombers should be bought. USA should be also bombing Germany, starting in round 2 and going forward. Perhaps a bomber buy on USA 2 and 3 would help germany germany honest enough to buy the allies the time to still be in the game come round 5.
@Violent.copper:
i am assuming the brittish bombing of italy is coming out of caucaus so as to threaten the jap navy too
only bomb italy on UK3 and then look at a combined US/UK attack out of SZ12 on italy in round 4. After that, too many variables to make a bullet proof plan. I suggest some allied tech if you are playing with that optional rule.
@Violent.copper:
but then the U.S is going KGF in this strat i am assuming… how will russia fair with no brittish support besides bobmers, the germans can turtle up italy making it hard for the U.S to break, and if the u.s doesnt hold italy the game is over because the japs march into caucaus, then moscow. can a bombing campaign actually work?
The allies certainly have an uphill battle. Besides the initial US navy and a bomber a turn help to europe, maybe USA can build some pacific navy to keep japan honest in the pacific.
USA is a delicate balance.
You can always try to go 100% after Germany if Egypt is not attacked G1.
