    With so many positive and negitive SA’s its pretty easy to put a bunch of SA’s together to acheive some advantage in a match. Some like Close escort destroyers paired with smokers and others Like to put together Flotilla leaders with Destroyer leaders and gain a huge initiative bonus.

    What are some of your combos that have been working for you?

    I like using the US Initiative Bonus’s In big enough games i believe you can get (without looking) upwards of a +9 to ur initiative

    Sanfrancisco Flotilla leader up to +3
    Phelps  DD leader +1
    New Jersey carrier leader up to +3
    Normal flag Bonus of +2

    There might be 1 more i am missing.

    Also the old school Tone+Akagi or Chikima+Shokaku

    I think it will go to 11. I found out the hard way in a tourny last month. My opponent let me move first in turn 1 & 2 not realizing how so many smokers I had. In turn 2 I fired and popped smoke and that was the last time he let me move first. LOL Then I got to react to his moves and got an edge and ended up winning. You got to love it when a plan comes together. :)


  • Ober, I think that the rules are that whoever wins Init must go last… bit you can houserule the AAM way! :D

    The USN has the best Init, best Guns, best Ariborne bombs, 2nd best airborne torps, and best Smoke Fleet! :shock:

    Init to +10:
    Flag 2
    Flotilla leader 3
    Carrier Leader 3
    Destroyer Leader 1
    Cruiser Leader 1
    (Uses Dutch I think)

    Guns:
    Goteland+Arizona/WV+Montana

    Bombs:
    HDiver+Goteland+EB2+Catalina+damaged ship

    Torps:
    Avenger+Catalina+ET1+BB target (The best is the new Jill attacking a Carrier with Chikuma etc.)

    And they have tons of Smoking DD’s and cruisers with BWFighter… with the Cheap Warhawk air cover… they aren’t bad! :D

    And of course, the Germans sub fleets are killer… KoD! :D
