@Mallery29:
Destroying the German SS fleet is hard to do, especially if they have FTR/Bomber coverage….UK1, add FTR. US1 add 4DD, 1Trans, move CA to EUS. UK2 save cash for UK3 (buy D for India though)…US2 buy 2DD, 2Trans, dudes, move US1 fleet to Canada.
I really think the US needs 1 carrier on US1 otherwise it will be a pain when or if Japanese fighters start appearing in Europe.
UK3 drop two Carriers and possibly DD or Trans. US3, move US1 fleet to protect the CVs. US3 buy should consist of more DD/Trans/Troops. Germany can’t defend both Belgium and France enough for you to land troops wave after wave without giving up significant numbers on the Russian front. UK can start UK4 dropping troops/trans….it will be hard, and most likely give up the Pacific as a whole (I would recommend this route if you ARE NOT playing VC, and going for total victory). If playing VC, you will have to stalemate Hawaii with Japan. Russia must not fall into a land grab trap and not sac its arts either. Russia MUST be able to hold the line for 5 rounds. If you can do that, France will fall. Again, this is more of a non-VC strat of KGF, so please take that into account.
This is basically the 2 US fleet buildup and the problem I’ve found (also in 1st Ed.) is that the UK/US can’t really do nothing more than trade those 2 territories and give zero or minimal assistance to the Soviets against both Germans and Japanese by this time of the game.
One possible solution I’m going to try is to land instead on Finland and focus on keeping Germany off Karelia.
