IMO the German Med fleet is one of the most overrated pieces on the board b/c in reality Germany cannot afford to send any troops from Europe anyway. The game is won or lost in Europe and Africa is merely a sidebar so to that end no great lengths should be taken to protect the German BB. A few exceptions are to send it to the WMed to threaten the Uk1 naval build so as to make them not build or waste a ftr to destroy a bb. However this assumes you have enough air to be able to attack all other units of the Royal Navy which is iffy at best. Another reason to spare the bb is by going to Syria on G1 along with a take of AES f/Libya this helps protect Africa and gives Germany a huge ipc boom going on into the game. However, its very difficult to say if Germany will be able to afford this in Europe without risking EEuro so in general I’d say that the best move is to simply kack the bb against the Med bb and concentrate air in the UkSz while using the transport to landgrab Cauc or whatever.
Do you think Germany should go for Brazil or Not ?
-
Sure, why not. If you are in later stages of the gae, and looking to Cause the Us some trouble, nothing wrong with taking Brazil. I would take it with a couple of transports with troops, buy a Factory, plunk her down, and start producing. If you have the IPC to spare, you could conquer the neutral south american nations allowing you to waltz up into Panama, and then the US beyond.

The only reason for Germany to go for Brazil is to have the best soccer team ever … with a total of 8 world cups up to now :)

However, don’t forget the Brazilian women on the beach.

are you nuts?
there’re more Nazi sightings in Brazil than Elvis in an Alabama shopping mall.and Micayla you’re damn straight - Brazillian women are the hottest i’ve seen in 6 countries now and the beaches are amazing!! Plus the atmosphere . . .
I’m actually thinking of spending a month of my elective time in Brazil studying whogivesash*Tology - just to be in Rio . . . .
but i digress . . .
I would love to be in a position to take Brazil at some time, but if the allies play anything like i do, there is little living in the mediterranean by the time one can make a serious stab at Rio. Besides, if you move your trn out too early, then you have troubles reinforcing AFrica (true, you may do that from Brazil, but at that point Africa may already be in secured Allied hands). -
well why take brazil for there soccer team when Germany has 7 cups

'cuz it’s full of Germans . . . .
(for you F_alk and FS) -
so?

Germany only won three (1954, 1970, 1990), Brasil won 5 up to now…
-
no they won more
-
Germany has only won 3 cups. Brazil has won more cups than any other country with 5. I believe Germany is tied in 2nd, with France and England.
-
only 3?

Germany is tied second with Argentina, Uruguay and Italy (all three wins). Then come France and England with one win both.
Americans and Soccer-trivia :) ;) :D

1.) argentina and uruguay just won 2 world cups each, germany is just tied with italy but it won some more “worldcup-silverplaces” and european cups than italy.
2.) brasilstrategy: If allied airforces are splitted (royal airforce in Karelia, uk-ac defendet but blocked by 1-2 russian fighter us airfoce acting somewhere in pacific or be killed in africa), germany maybe can conquer africa by amphibios assaults in algeria T2 and westafrica T3 (killing us forces with forces from france).
If it works germany could have got 2trn + 1bb in reach of london, washington, montreal and rio in T4. most times brasil would be the easiest target now. -

Its easy 2nd turn alls you have to do is trick the stupid allies player,
the germans are after all supermen :-? -
the germans are after all supermen
So why did they lose the war (twice, WWI and WWII)? It must be because there are more Germans in America than in Germany.
-
Hey… Defeat is worse than death, you have to live with defeat.
HELP the paranoids are out to get me!
-
nazi supermen are our rulers-
The Simpsons -
definitely not, concentrate on africa if you must dabble in foreign lands…
-
A better use for that transport is to head east towards India. After a couple of turns the Allies will be kicking you out of Africa and if the transport stays it will just die. Let Japan soften up India and have Germany take it. That way Germany gets the money and Japan can keep anyone from taking it back.
Never actually tried this, just thought of it now.
