German opening move

Sure… but I probably will not be able to do G1 until tomorrow (monday) evening.

20 IPC bid placement:
3 INF Manchuria
1 INF Kwangtung
2 INF FIC
2 IPC saved as Japan

I see what you mean. I’ve cruised a lot of the fora here… some posts are short and some are bickering, but then some of the bickering is long posts, too!

From what I’ve seen most of your posts are on topic and nothing too long.

I don’t expect to ever get 1000 posts unless I get started playing PBEM here.

dezrtfish, you just hit 666 posts.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

@Kantabricus:

The Allied pressence there has to be enough to hold, but not to the extent of making the German player think Africa is lost (ie 4 - 6 US infantry a turn). The Germans have to think every turn, that Africa is retakable, so that they keep on investing in an African Campaign.

First, I seldom put a ftr in Africa against a player who I know is average or better (I don’t want to lose it by skill, insight or luck.) Second, with a 2 inf bid in AES, I rarely put more than 2 inf/1 arm more in Africa (4 inf/1 arm /o a bid.) After 2-3 turns I’m either shipping inf to Ukr, Cau or sunk. :) (just the fleet.) If you have bothered to ship another group of 2-3 inf or 2 inf/1 arm on US3-4 you’ve just slowed the Allied push on Germany! Thank you. :wink:

I like the “Kriegsmarine Pacific ploy.” I had forgotten it. It’s been a long time since I felt threatened enough, as Germany, to try it. I think I’ll try it the next time I’m Gemany anyway, but I’ll have to look at how much it opens up the Eurobelly.

I’m not to fond of rely in tech rolls for a strategy myself. I might do tech rolls as Japan if Germany is about to fall.

What’s the point of spending all your money, losing territory and income so that by the time your empire is just about doomed you get some techs. Pity you don’t have any money to leverage the tech.

However if Japan is in a strong income position and gets Ind Tech or Hvy bmbrs they might survive if Germany falls. Any other tech is kinda useless towards late stages of the game IMHO.

@Ozone27:

As I mentioned before, in San Francisco, the term “tranny” means something a little bit different… :o

Is it so different?
I mean, a transport pretends to be a ship :)

Ahhhhh….
Thanx

I play restricted, so all i do is move my naval units to england. As much as possible inf to karelia, one fighter to india. Three tanks into russia. 6 men into yakut, and leave one standing to the right of Yakut(cant remember what the land is called).

This has worked fine for me over the years.
