@Texas:
That still doesn’t answer how the UK defends against Germany if they are spending that much in India.� If the UK is spending that much in India, Germany is being played very poorly.
Why does UK have to defend against Germany ?
If Germany is spending on naval then Germany is being played very poorly lol
UK has absolutely nothing to fear from Germany, and as i said France can go toe-toe with Germany without losing its capital.
UK can spend almost all its income in India, USA lands in Italy turn 6 (12 units).
I honestly see no way (baring screwups or horrible dice) that the allies lose without doing it on purpose.
The last game i played France collected 32 IPC on turn 3; 34 on 4 and on turn 5 actually had ratcheted all the way to 44.
Germany didnt send enough units towards Moscow and couldnt take it and at the same time didnt have near enough to pressure France in any way.
With Germany sending units to Moscow France has all day to secure Portugal; Morocco; Spain and 3+ tts in Africa.
I have played 6 games now and tried about every CP strat i could think of.
As long as Russia masses infantry (with a few fighters) and retreats, it takes one hell of a CP force to take Moscow.
France and Russia both should build almost exclusively infantry with a few fighters mixed in, Germany can take Moscow eventually but by the time they do France is crashing through Ruhr en mass, and now atleast 1/3 of German forces are effectivly ‘out of service’ in Moscow
If Germany tries a France first strategy they will get to Paris and stall, now USA and UK are landing in Europe forcing Germany to retreat.
Russia if left unchecked can take meso, sweden, norway, persia, and can easily overwhelm 2 of the 3 CP powers on the Eastern front.
A-H cannot take Rome AND hold vs Russia, and if A-H is not trying to take Rome Italy will go through the swiss and even further hinder the German advance on Paris
