L12 - Soul (allies) vs Yoshi (axis) ; +11 bid

Second posting is the completed German turn. Goodluck this game!

I’m always on the lookout for such an opportunity. There’s two counters, the land based one and the naval one. The 4 inf starting in Korea, perhaps aided by planes can prevent USA’s puny two (or maybe 4) land units from taking Korea. The problem with the land option given that I left all 18 units is planes might be toast to USSR’s attack. I don’t normally leave all 18 troops there, maybe I should. The naval one means just having a sufficient navy to hold sz6. Given that the US navy was north and couldn’t get to the money islands quickly, you could have been weaker there. Think I might go back to all 18 troops in Amur. It is much stronger than 12.

@crockett36 said in crocket36 (Allies) vs Simon33 (Axis+6) French Rebalance:

@crockett36 hey this is supposed to be a play test. Can you give me an explanation or or or tell me your inspiration behind the French part of this rebalance? If I guessed it would be that taking over Paris would be worth it and that the French troops and the colonies, their territories could be acquired and their troops brought into the army the Allied army? Is that correct and I screwed it up when I attacked the colonial troops instead of liberating them are enlisting them sorry for the dictation.

The main reason is that it really annoyed me that Germany had an incentive to leave Normandy French. Guess it is similar with French North Africa but I found that one less annoying. I think the concept that Paris falls round 1 breaks the intention behind Larry’s Laws.
