I have tried this and it has worked. Bought all fighters turn one. Then all bombers turn two by turn three england landed in France and the US had like 6 fighters, 2 bombers, 2inf a tank and art in france after england had secured it the previous round. US took italy next turn and game ended shortly after. It was a few years ago so i cant recall anymore specifics. The key is pooling all available aircraft and witholding from Op. Torch. Also England needs naval dominance which sometimes doesnt happen with a G1 carrier build
Alternate Turn 1 buys…

Haha, thats insane.
I usually have 4 INF 3 ART on R1.
now someone here has some sense. why do you need the rusian to take out the german navy. what are the british doing smoking tea leaves? you need to take as much land as possible from the germans.

USA 1:
2 Bombers
USA 2:
2 Bombers
USA 3:
Trans/Infantry
USA 4: Germany has no income, doesn’t matter what you’re buying. :)
Okay, only really works well in LL because of the 3.5 IPC damage vs 2.5 return fire damage rule. That’s a benefit of 5 IPC for America and you’re only using American infantry for support anyway, tnaks are nice, but not needed. Let england capture it all, she’s closer to Europe anyway.

@ncscswitch:
Russia:
3 INF, 1 ARM ,1 FIGwhy whould anyone need a fig for russia? that one makes no sense
I’ve used this buy successfully many times. I will usually add a 4th fighter in R2 or R3. The fighters give Russia a lot of flexiblity. From the caucasus they can reach all of eastern europe most of Central Asia and India. Also they are very useful when your trading territory with Germany.
-
Or if Germany’s being a jerk, 4 fighters is plenty to sink the Transport/Battleship fleet for Germany. At times that can force Germany to blow money on auxillery ships.

On my current lowluck game i lost my med fleet to a ftr and bmb =[
-
In our new game CC and I opted for 2 Inf in Ukr. and 1 IC to Japan and 1 IC to Germany - we’ll see how it goes!! (8 IPC bid)
-
its IPC not IC
-
Right. And also, we’re talking about buys, not bid placements, which is what I described - DOH! I have a neat idea for G1, but I won’t post it here until Jennifer and Frimmel play their R1…
-
2 Destroyers, 1 Aircraft Carrier, 1 Artillery???
-
thats a grave gamble. and as for you froodster: WHO THE HELL BIDS $36??
-
In my current game my Russian R1 purchase was 1Bomber, 1 Armor, 1 Infantry, save 1 dollar. As we have yet to complete the first round I don’t know how well it will work. I prefer to use air assets with Russia anyway as they land behind the lines and do not become ireplacable casualties like armor.
As far as a Russian AC I have used that before although not on round one. It was an intentional throw away purchase to get the Germans to use their air assets to attack fighters deffending at 4. While I lost a fleet I had no real use for the Germans lost most of their luftwaffe which was my goal.

It was 2 IPCs, not 2 ICs.

@froodster:

It was 2 IPCs, not 2 ICs.
naturally this was an obvious typo - he just typed that we had a bid of 8 ipcs, and with 2 inf, it’s only natural that 1 ipc each would go to japan and germany.
And Jen - what are you talking about? -
What are the traditional Turn 1 buys?
this isn’t written in stone but IN KGF
Russia: 2inf,2art,2tank
Germany: 4inf, 3art, 2trn
UK: 2 trn,4 inf
Japan: 3trn,1art save 2 ipc or 2trn and 1 ic with bid
USA: 3trn,1inf, 3 tanks sav 4 -
I think Jen is suggesting that might be my G1 buy.
I may as well tip my hand - I’ll be building 2 ICs, one in Algeria and one in Libya, and one sub in the baltic after moving the original baltic fleet to SZ 3. I even save $2 for G2 with that build! Or maybe just 5 subs…

tu est locco :lol:. thats funny it would probally be more worth it to transport from italy.

You’re right - I’ll put the ICs in Norway and West Russia instead.

can you link your game here i don’t want to find it. but do except to be able to use them? RUssia should put an ic in Kar. now that would really be funny, especilaly if you put that w. russia ic in ukraine. a wall of ics. 8-) edited added last sentence.
