:-D
In the movie; Battle of the Bulge, there is a scene where the german generals are discussing this story about the chocolate cake, still very fresh, ( I think they may have actually eaten it) and saying if the Americans have ample resources to spend on shipping cake to their soldiers then we are lost. Something to that effect anyway.
Another story, off topic, sorta, is that some bomber crews were talking about all the different kinds of ordanance that we were dropping on germany, and one crewman said, “We’ve dropped everything but the kitchen sink!” So on the next mission, you guessed it, they brought along a kitchen sink and threw it out one of the side gun windows during Bombs Away! :roll:
Strategic bombing your way to a win
-
You can’t afford 5 bombers with England. That’s the only problem.
-
Switch, the allies dont need to build much navy, only trn. The bombers are too much, that is why i like the LL rules for them.
-
Final result:
With Germany reduced to 0-3 IPC a round, the Axis powers, with Moscow in hand, capitulate.
End Bomber Count:
Russia: 1 bomber (sacrificed Moscow for it.)
England: 3 bombers
America: 5 bombersTotal SBR: 31.5 IPC a round (Russia was especially nice since you cannot subtract 3 IPC in damage when you don’t collect any money!)
Allied Fleet:
3 Battleships, 20 Transports, 2 Aircraft Carriers, 4 Fighters
Meanwhile, America was still plenty capable of producing 6 infnatry, 1 artillery, 1 armor per round for Europe.

Actually, there is something in the LL SBR rules about not being able to pay your share of the damage… your BOM dies.
-
Ah, well if they posted that, we never saw it. And even had we known, it would have been an arguement that in a case like that you’d have to physically kill the thing with a die roll.
-
I suggest reading the LL rule sbefore you continue Jen, or ask some of our LL experts like Ezto and Darth.
-
Jenn - where are the bombers in our current game? I believe your theory on SBRs is one of the reasons I called you out…
-
The allies are taking a slightly different tactical route. Bombers may come into play again, but this is ADS, not LL. SBR really only makes sense in LL because your bombers are invincible to AA fire.
-
Ooooooh……
Okay. Well, we will still crush you anyway. Har har har (cough spit) har har!!!
-
LL with Stratofortresses would be fun. :)
-
What are Stratofortresses? In Axis & Allies I mean.
-
American National Advantage:
Your bombers fly higher then AA Fire can reach, so you do not take any damage from AA Guns.
-
In other words, invincible heavy weapons! :-o :-o
-
Yes, well HB tech added to that would be nice, but remember that Heavy Bombers only do 1d6+1 damage to industrials and you still max out at the territory’s value.
I prefer Marines combined with Mechnized Infantry myself. I see a realm of possibilities for that combination. (Infantry attack at a two or less, move two spaces and can blitz like tanks.)
