• What are you guys doing with your CA in G1? Does it attack SZ7 with the 2 SS (and optional Bomber/FTR )?� If the CA does and survives it seems like that sets back UK sending fighters in route to India or help killing the German BB if it killed the UK CA SZ14 (off Gib). I’d want to send a FTR, Bomber and maybe the surviving DD from ECanada to clean out SZ7.

    With me, just like that.

    Confused…how does sending the CA to SZ 7 delay the UK FTRs to India? � They can still land in Archangel…I understand you are protecting the BB (leaves the Baltic Transport avail to attack, but that FTR can still land in Archangel as well)…

    Hobbes, landing US2 in Algeria? � Doesn’t that open to you losing those sea units G3? � Seems wasteful.


  • Yeah. I realized that after I posted that you can still clear out SZ7 as UK and get the fighters to Archangel.


  • @Mallery29:

    If you buy a carrier and 1/2 destroyers it may be enough to defend a landing, depending on G2 moves and losses. And if the US has the opportunity it should take it.


  • The CV/DDs will be a turn behind though?

    Lots of different choices here. Much better than Revised/Spring 42 where you basically had to defend/conquer Russia and that was it.

    In revised usually russia fell about when berlin fell. much of it was defending berlin and that was it. usually russia brings it to germany and exchanges as much as possible so uk and usa could get a crack at berlin. you only stopped bringin ruskies in to fight berlin when japan got close.

    Like I said if you want a real war game with real options.

    Honestly, transports defend, armor @ 5, -1 cruiser off of australia, +1 armor for libya.

    transports defending just helps the allies get on their feet and shipping men into the fight and nerfs the 2 subs attacking opener to the ground. to make up for this the axis get an armor to take egypt and a cruiser is lost off of australia.

    The armor change helps axis strategies tremendously, be it a surge strategy for defending europe or japan’s armor blitz to russia.

    Now, you can all have fun, roll dice, have a back and forth close game. Instead of win or lose off the bat. yay everyone is happy.

    Forgot to add, no hawaii vc bs.

    This game is bad, much like when they introduced aa50 rules to the revised board, it was bad… the allies had all their steam sucked away from them and the uk battleship got nerfed to to a cruiser, it was stupid.

    Like obviously 2 subs is hitting the usa transports or the uk transports, everytime. obviously landing on europe don’t happen till uk3 or uk4. obviously india stalls japan from taking russia. obviously the allies losing africa is big, because if the allies send stuff there, it is not in europe. obviously germany does not buy armor till 2 rounds before it attacks caucasus. Usually when you start going for caucasus, the allies will see exactly how many men will attack it ahead of time, and india moves toward caucasus to defend it. thanks for playing.

    Obvious game is obvious. Not much action is going to happen.

    I am not going to play a ww2 game to be one with the turtle.

    One of the few obvious things that isn’t so obvious to me yet is how to make USA highly effective in the Pacific. I’m dedicating so much into the Atlantic to address the nerf. Borneo or Philippines sounds good, but it just seems to me that Japan can easily counter.

    Hear, hear. I mean, it’s not like we’re used to a beefy America starting in the Pacific!

    Japan can easily counter, every island touches the FIC seazone. Thanks for playing.
