Do you think Germany should go for Brazil or Not ?

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

@F_alk:

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 :)

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).

Germany only won three (1954, 1970, 1990), Brasil won 5 up to now…

[GeZe]

no they won more

[Yanny]

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.

[GeZe]

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 :-?

[Guest]

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.

[Commissar Adam]

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-

[tnegiet]

definitely not, concentrate on africa if you must dabble in foreign lands…

[Guest]

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.

Last time I was in Germany somebody asked me, “So is soccer more popular in the US since your team did so surprisingly well in the World Cup playoffs?” I said,“We were in the World Cup playoffs? What’s that? Some kind of yachting thing?”

I took Brazil once as Germany on like my 2nd or 3rd game ever, but it’d be insane to try it now, unless I just didn’t give a damm. How do you GET there? That is the problem! You have to break out of the Med somehow & that means the USA & UK Airforce & NAVIES have to be completely neutralized for at least 2-3 turns. If you can do that, then screw Brazil, take UK instead!

So lets say you take the Suez Canal and defying all logic, load up 2 INF for a trip around the Cape toward the south coast of Brazil. This is such a bizarre ploy the Allies are sure to see it coming & reinforcing Brazil will not take that much time or effort out of their busy schedules.

To sum up, unless you have temporarily won absolute mastery of the North Atlantic as Germany, going for Brazil is just sheer foolishness. And if somehow you HAVE temporarily won absolute mastery of the North Atlantic (the holy grail of Germany), then what are you bothering w/ Brazil for, you’ve practically won already!

I agree with Ozone, by the time it’s feasible to take Brazil you’ve all but won already. The game boils down to maximizing the utilization of equipment. If that transport helps you hold africa (or any fraction) a bit longer it’s worth more than brazil. The allies should always have at least 1 bomber to pick of lone transports to it’s really a moot point already. That 1 german transport might place 4 infantry and 1 tank in africa, that will tie up way more allied equipment than 2 infantry in brazil. Africa is worth 11, but you should think of it as a 22 IPC swing/round……
