Technology for Germany?

J3 DOW is a bit non conventional. If that happens, you can be in Norway US4, landing fighters on Finland the same turn. Bombers can be doing unescorted raids on West Germany US4, escorted US5 and also on Germany.

UK can do unescorted raids on West Germany UK1, although it isn’t likely to do so.

Where do you station these bombers, and what do you do with them (only bombardments?)?

I have to think that much focus on Russia would leave Japan too exposed in the water and on the coast.

3-5 bombers flying to london can be the difference between sea lion success and sea lion fail. It changes the odds drastically. Because Germany has to roll 3 more hits to win… which means more 2s to roll for the defender which means more 4s to roll as the battle drags on.

So yes sometimes Japan postpones war because of bomber purchases by USA.

They changed a lot of wording in alpha 3.9.
Even the Islands in the pacific are Axis controlled, while Germany has to contorl every place except Caucasus on its own. I think, this is not what “National Objectives” should be. It sounds more like “Axis Objectives”. I don’t like it. It should just be Japan/Italy/Germany not Axis.

(USSR does not get any Bonus for US/UK capturing axis terretories in Europe, and thats how it should be)

@major_payne:

hi,

how due the tech rules work with alpha 3 rules?

This is different from OOB:

@Alpha:

Research & Development (that have been modified)

Rockets: Your air bases can now launch rockets. During the Strategic and Tactical Bombing
Raid step of your Conduct Combat phase each turn, each of your operative air bases can make
a single rocket attack against an enemy industrial complex, air base, or naval base within 4
spaces of it. This attack does one die roll of damage to that facility. Rockets may not be fired
over neutral territories.

Improved Mechanized Infantry:  Each of your mechanized infantry units that are paired up
with a tank or artillery now has an attack value of 2. Also, your mechanized infantry may now
blitz without being paired with a tank.

Improved Shipyards: Change the IPC cost of cruisers to ‘9’.

Turn 3 Alpha+2, Turn 2 OOB

Turn 1

Build an aircraft carrier a destroyer and a sub on Germany Turn one and place them in SZ 112. 2) Land 2 ftrs on the carrier. 3) Make sure you have minimum 3 ftrs (or tacs) on Western Germany to scramble. 4) Don’t Sacrifice your battleship, use it to protect your carrier. 5) make sure you sink as much of the U.K. fleet as possible.

Turn 2

Take cash from the Plunder of France and build 7 transports in SZ 112.  2) Make sure you move your original transport there as well.  3) Make sure you have 8 Infantry and 8 Art (or whatever) to load on to these transports.  (Hopefully the U.K. will build tons of troops to defend against Sea-lion). 4) Keep your Naval screen intact.

Turn 3

Move from SZ 112 to SZ 127 with loaded transports.  2) Unload into Nenetsia 3) comence laughing.

Turn 4

Who knows. 2) Question why you were laughing on turn 3.
