11L 41 DarthM (Allies) vs JWW 9 Bid NO, -tech, 14VC

Then how do you deal with the Ita fleet?

I’m moving away from my UK bom buy.  I love the bombers but UK really needs trns and the ability to threaten lots of eu ter.  Plus its telegraphed and locks in your stack to Trj.  Plus I think the stack can be moved with the right moves.

So now I’m going back to just killing the fleet with the US on US 3, which has some of the same issues but with ACs in Sz 12 you wouldn’t necessarily need Trj.
Or do you just not worry about the Ita fleet and kill it when its convenient for you.

I think the earlier the US dumps into the Pac the better, but again I have a hard time going with a lot to the Pac on US 1 b/c a Ger ftr or bom here or there may mean UK has to buy more capital ships.

I’d really like to try some all out KJFs, but just don’t have the guts to do it.

–--------------

Yeah, you could probably get 20 or more.  Lol!

Although, If I’d ever get beyond 12 (in the 15 range) I’d seriously consider a PE play with Russia.

for better or worse I ignore it.
@DarthMaximus:

Or do you just not worry about the Ita fleet and kill it when its convenient for you.

That is my play. Hit afr on T1,2,3 perhaps with the UK & USA (existing trn and dd) perhaps buy 1trn or 1 cv for the atlantic but the major pressure is on J and the pacific. Then if/when it’s convienent hit the ITA navy.

@DarthMaximus:

Yeah 1-2 cv’s perhaps in the ATL but it depends what J is doing. Balance is key I think.

Let me know when you are going to try it and I’ll watch.

A PE??

Power Europe.

5-6 inf to Russia to start might not be enough to prevent G from attacking bst/epl/ukr, but 6 inf to Bel or Euk might make Epl stackable on Russia 1.  I’d have to run through typical G1 results on the Eastern Front.  Although a 5-6 armor buy on G1 may be enough to discourage the move, Then again UK could throw over two early ftrs.

With something like 20 (4 inf, 1 rt Bel, 1 rt Euk) you could probably wipe out all the German armor in Bst and Ukr (maybe even Epl).

@JWW:

You are getting screwed by the dice gods.

I took some risky battles, trying to conserve inf.  Just happy the bom didn’t get hit in Trj.

Nice to only see the 1 ipc damage in the SBR too.

I like the balance of an art or an arm with some inf. It let’s R attack on R1 w/a bit more confidence, if one of the G1 attacks goes a bit poorly. I think R, w/the UK’s help needs to keep G to only 2 NO’s. and EPL is very important as you state. I’m ok trading epl w/G but letting them put an anchor there is trouble.
