Germans in the Pacific?

@Gargantua:

Our group has had VERY bad luck with lend lease.

3 out of 4 attempts have put the money in Axis hands.

1 out of 4 only 20% of the IPC’s got through.

I know that our results have been flukey, but it’s VERY unappealling! LOL.

OK

@Gargantua:

I’ve approached my group about playing with the rule that for each convoy zone occupied by the axis in the atlantic, the allies get -2 to their lend lease roll.  If there are no sub’s, allies get +2

Wouldn’t that make the problem worse?

Hi,

No, if Germany takes Holland it gets only the 2 IPC for Holland (IPC’s are lost to the bank), the DEI immediately taken over by FEC. But only the Income, not the troops. So the dutch infantry on the DEI can only defend. The dutch navy is, like all Dutch countries allied with UK (incl. Canada, South Africa, Anzac, FEC) and France since the beginnig of the game. Is not really historical accurate, I know.

So Japan is forced to attack the Dutch DEI or Germany gets a problem with Holland home Guard.

Do you think german subs should cost 7 icp’s ?  Do you also think the first strike for subs ( german subs costing 5 icp’s ) be just for first round of combat ?

And I didn’t realize that was a 1939 setup rule, so that is cleared for me as well!

Thanks for pointing out 9.20 as well. I’ll be sure to point that out to others, as they seemed misinformed on that front.

Overall, I definitely agree with you. This is probably a one time chance it works against an opponent. But, it may still alter the way the Soviets are played early on a bit!

This will change in the next revision. The Blitz will be Land and Air units only.

Thanks for your thoughts SS.

Got it, just wanted to be sure I wasn’t misunderstanding your strategy!

@ampdrive said in German's take Holland on 2nd impulse.. DEI navy is rolled for?:

@tmtm1 What does 1st and 2nd impulse mean?

Germany gets 2 turns on first turn
