Interesting results.

I’ll have to try this out in my next game.

So how do you handle the Brits with a mostly intact navy? I would think they are going to UK1 clear out the German navy and place TT’s and ground troops for a UK2/UK3 invasion.

Would it be too late for the Brits and just leaving a few German INF behind to slow them down would work until you could recall from the eastern front?

i attacked the transports. that ensures the brits have to spend at least one turn building transports. it gives you an extra turn.

I think the bigger issue is, how do you take out SZ 110 and SZ 111 as well as France, Normandy and Yugoslavia? Yugoslavia isn’t the issue, but the rest are. It would be ill-advised, IMHO, to let France go free and you really need to kill that British fighter in Normandy too, if only to weaken England enough to allow the invasion of Russia to be successful, I would think.

Since I do not think this is statistically reliable, some attack has to go unfullfilled so leaving them with most of a Navy is pretty much all you can hope for, ya know? I’d still go for SZ 106 with 1 submarine and SZ 91 with 2 submarines, if only because you have the submarines and round 1 is the only time the Royal Navy is exposed as it is.

With the Baltic strait closed, no TT and hardly any ground troops, what is the UK gonna do for the first few rounds? & the US can only land US5.

As Germany, you need to take advantage of that timeframe by taking Moscow.

I rather not take Yugoslavia and/or SZ 111/110 than delay barbarossa

I just realized that the Baltic strait is a strait so if you fortify Denmark and W.Ger they will have to land at Normandy or Holland UK3 at the soonest with US right behind.

Sounds like if you don’t have Russia on the ropes by G4 you are going to have a very difficult time responding to the invasion. Maybe Italy can help out here a bit

Jennifer

Graunie, they could land in Denmark too.

Piet,

So you do no attacks against the Royal Navy? Isn’t that leaving them entirely too strong? Or are you using the fleet to sink the Russian BB and open a path to Saint Petersburg?

Piet Hein

I attack Russia on G2 and on G1 attack SZ 109, 111, 112 and 91 but not SZ110. 109 and 91 with only subs looking for a lucky break

Land 2 fighters on Rome, take Finland and Bulgaria and build major IC on Rom. I take out Normandy and take some chances against France, because Italy can also finish the job.

I take out the Russian fleet on G2 and attack all Russian territories in range. I don’t like to make an amphibious assault on leningrad though, just a waste of ipcs on TTs to be honest.

i have never tried the G1 attack, but i like the idea! suppose you then have to use some planes against the Russian fleet that you can not use against the UK

Jennifer

I agree, I love the idea, but hesitant to attack on Germany 1. For one major reason, there is at minimum 4 infantry, artillery, 2 fighters and a tactical bomber to counter attack Bessarabia. I also want overwhelming firepower on France/English Naval powers to preserve German offensive abilities.

I do agree that a Major in Romania could put overwhelming pressure on Russia, if you attack on round 2? Perhaps I am missing a component from the round 1 attack that makes it superior.
